Xbox-ing

So if you are anyone that knows me, you will know that I'm really into my Xbox360 and games!

I got myself Saints Row the Third last month which is now one of my favourite games. Its a great open world game with a hilarious story line I really enjoyed. Once all of the missions are complete the are other tasks to do throught Steelport, in order to fully take over the city. Its the first Saints Row game I've played and now I'm definately converted over from Grand Theft Auto.

This is my character posing, pimping out cars and blowing the heads off oversized brutes.


Another game I have started playing is Halo Anniversary, which is a remake of the original Halo on its 10 year anniversary. its a great way to see how technology hasd progressed as there is an option to view its as it was originally made, or to see it now in HD with the improved graphics.
Its good for me to understand the story from the beginning as I started out playing on Halo Reach. I wish I gave reach more of a chance in regards to the multiplayer games, but as I completed the campain with some friends on legendary... I just assumed I was too awesome. Obviously I would have been useless without the guys.. 'Shout out to the NG Clan. - Formerly known as NBK Clan'.


I am playing Halo Anniversary, this time with my old time buddy Mark Dicks, who is a game reviewer for a website called ThumbACTIVE. Have a look at the diary of our adventures here HERE


And finally the last game I will be blogging about tonight is Rayman Origins. This platform game is certified for ages 7+ but there are some tricky levels and some time trials to get through. Having been a fan of Rayman - completing Rayman on Gameboy Colour and loving it on the PS1 as a child, I feel no shame in enjoying this game. the art is colourful and captures the imagination, swimming through seas of wonderous fish and sliding down icy hills, the levels change before you can even get bored of a theme. I also <3 the musical score.

That's all for now folks, until my Modern Warfare 3 arrives...

Please take some time to check out ThumbACTIVE, its a great site for gamers! www.thumbactive.co.uk

Tenerife

I feel that I still owe a little bit of a catch-up, so here are some of the photos I took of my friend Victoria whilst on holiday in Tenerife last September. It's a little bit stalkerish...

Cheers for the freaking weekend

So the last few days have been pretty crazy... something like



an hour's rest due to insomnia, watch the sunrise albeit from the train, push through the hustle and bustle, get to uni, take exam which I have probably failed... meet buddies Princess and Ayesha and Ekta for Nandos, then shisha, then off to Wandsworth for a movie - Mission Impossible 3 btw is awesome!... meet some friends of friends... go to Spurs which is a steak and grill joint, enjoy a beer, then back up to Kingston for a smoke and crash at Ayeshas 3 in a bed! middle spoon!

SLEEP

... the best night sleep in a week!

(Best house rules ever!)
off to uni again, mess around on facebook instead of revising... manage to pull off a presentation, off to Croydon, got some nice bargains from New Look January sales and off home... finally!
I wanted to go to a house warming party that night but unfortunately I had to look after my mumsy.

Glad the weekend is here... think I'm gona pamper myself! :)

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and yes it is now 2012!  I have been a very lazy blogger and I do apologize for that! My life has had a little turn-around and I am now studying to be a paediatric nurse. I intend to keep blogging as my hobby however and as a way to share and talk about the things that excite me. keep posted! xo
