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.
Just a quick one

I’m currently sitting here waiting for my Windows Media Center 7 setup to complete and thought I’d do a quick little update about what’s been going on recently.
In all honesty, not a lot. I’ve had the last three days off of work because it was my Birthday on Wednesday. I’ve been mainly chilling here and playing a load of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I’ve also got a PC Wireless Receive for my XBox 360 controllers (courtesy of Errkal), so I can now finally play the copy of DIRT2 that came with my graphics card late last year.
I’m enjoying this game so far, I prefer the Rally and Rallycross sections over the big truck thingos (I can’t think for the life of me what they’re called!) Of course, the game is not without its flaws. The two main issues I have so far is the navigator in the Rallies is a bit slow to let you know about crucial details. A nice example of this is *SMASH!* hairpin to the left, take it slow… YOU THINK?! Also, the rewind function is pretty useless in comparison to Forza 3′s. In Forza you can rewind to a comfortable distance before your crash, but in DIRT2 I find myself only being able to rewind to half way through my crash. Pretty lame.
Ooh! I’ve also got Red Dead Redemption, I haven’t played it yet but expect to hear more about my Wild West shenanigans here shortly.
For those of you who don’t play Modern Warfare 2 – you achieve 50-100 points for each of your kills, which add to your XP which in turn helps you rank up to earn various guns, perks and game modes. In the video posted below this guy was invited to an XP boosting match, so everyone in the game was cheating already. This guy in particular had an exploit in place that means anyone who kills him gets upto minus 5 million XP each time, affectively reducing their rank back to Private.
The clocks have gone back and the evenings are going to start getting dark and, but who cares when you’ve got the Left 4 Dead 2 demo to keep you occupied as Winter draws closer.
The pre-load on Steam has begun and I’ve got mine downloaded:
left4dead2_01
The demo is out on the 27th October 2009 on Steam for those of you who have pre-ordered with the mere mortals getting it a week later.
