I haven’t played my Xbox 360 for about 2-3 months (almost as long as I haven’t updated this thing!) and look what happens!

What the image fails to show is I’m pending downloads of trials for Burnout Crash and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition. BT are going to love me tonight!

It’s the 29th October and I am making my first entry for the month. Why have things been so dead around here? Weeeeell, that’s because I’ve been ‘Gagaing’ around in Dead Rising 2 since the 28th September and it’s been a hugely addictive experience. Not because of all of the different novel ways to mutilate zombies, no, it’s because of all the different ways I can ruin serious cut scenes in coop games!

I have just completed Dead Rising 2: Case Zero for the third time since I downloaded it on Saturday. The precursor to the full game that hits the shops later on this month is an excellent reminder of how great the original is and also gives you a sweet enough taste of what the main game will be like.

Here be spoilers; if you continue beyond this point and whine about having Case Zero spoiled for you then TS!

For the last few months I have been undecided on which version of F1 2010 I should get – the PC version or the Xbox 360 version? If I got the 360 version I would be able to play with friends over Live, however if I got the PC version I would be able to use my steering wheel that has been in retirement for the last 4-5 years!

Anyway I finally made my decision today, I’m going to get the PC version. Here are my reasons:

1. I like using the steering wheel for F1 games.
2. £12 cheaper than the 360 version
3. Performance is likely to be better on the PC (if DIRT2 is anything to go by)

Oh, and the game supports Windows Live. So I can still get my cheevos in!

I was enjoying a nice online game of Red Dead Redemption in free roam mode earlier today. My Posse consisted of myself and two kids, one American and the other English. Another Posse populated with American’s in their late teens decided to start attacking us constantly and because they’re in close proximity it opens up Voice Comms. The English person in my team decided to start arguing with them.

Thankfully due to my many years of online gaming experience – I know exactly what not to mention. And this person managed to tick all of the boxes for a mega facepalm from me.

Do NOT do the following:

- Mention wars
- Mention how many more wars England have won in comparison to the US
- Mention how the SAS is THE best army in the world (they’re good, but they’re one of the best armies in the world, not THE best army.
- And to top it off, tell the Americans the Navy Seals are shit.

Yeah, are you facepalming yet? I was…
