News: Gravity number one killer of noobs
In totally not related gamer news the International Committee for the Discovery of Major Causes of Death in Noobs or (ICDMCDN) for short, has discovered that gravity has been killing more noobs than any of the other major causes of death, including some of the minor ones. Due to this shocking revelation to all involved a new religious group Gravity Of Death has started preaching for the banning of gravity in localized area's and local PTA mom's no longer want their children exposed to this dangerous and dead
ly problem. With this news the tobacco industries has released it new slogan "They're not as bad as Gravity" and scientists from several of the major Universities have started research into gravity repellant devices and spray's.
So For the time being all you noobs better stay in door away from windows and doors, with really thick curtains and a good game!
This has been a public service announcement by DocFox01 serving the community since today!
All knowledge of gravity and its uses as a hallucinogenic are false and the CSIRO are just making it up to feel special cause they've done nothing good since patenting WiFi, the use of anti gravity devices may cause weightlessness, diarrhea, vomiting, fear of the dark, annoying know all attitude, weight gain, hair-loss and a craving to smoke Marlboro cigarettes. She sell sea shells by the sea shore, even tho sea shells are on the sea shore, therefore she has a bad marketing department, sell them in the desert! If your still reading this ramble i applause you for you tenacity. Oh and if you want free internet sit outside Andrew's place. The twist ending to the sixth sense was that Bruce Willis's character was the ghost.

News: Playstation 3 Slim
After the announcement that Sony wouldn't be lowering the price of their PS3, in a shocking turn of event Sony has now released their new PS3 Slim, just like they did with the PS2, but at almost half the price of the original PS3.
Even more shocking is that you don't lose any features with the newer version and it comes with a larger Harddrive (120GB vs 60GB in the original) than the original as well.
This will definitely make the console wars less of a one sided argument, with the Wii out-passing both the Xbox 360 and PS3, the Xbox 360 second and the PS3 third.
The major downfall of the PS3 was the price, seeing as it has better graphics than the Wii and 360, a free online network Vs the Xbox's pay per month.
Harvey Norman has a deal going at the moment when you buy a PS3 Slim for $499 you get one of the PS3's iconic games (e.g. Little Big Planet).
With this running the PS3 sales number are going to skyrocket and Microsoft has already put into work their defense stating that after the 22nd of September 2009, the Xbox 360 Elite will be lowered to $449 (the Elite being Microsofts comparison to the PS3 Slim).
Also from the 22nd of September to the 22nd of October, any customers who buy the Elite will also get a free copy of Halo:ODST.
An interesting development in the Gaming world.

Upcoming Review: X3 Terran Conflict
At the moment i am in the middle of playing X3 Terran conflict, and the massive story-line that goes along with it.
Because of this reviews have slowed but don't feel i can truly rate this game until i have finished the plot.
Above is a trailer for the Aldrin expansion of the game which you can download free as a patch for the game, and i will be reviewing that as well.
The above footage is ALL gameplay footage, and a player could have owned and have control of all the ship you see on screen!
Watch this space Biatches

Game: Battlefield Bad Company
Battlefield Bad Company is one of those fun and amusing little war games that doesn't take itself too seriously, for this i applaud them, the graphics aren't the best around, but i wasn't expecting that when i bought the game.Buying the game itself was interesting because i was able to buy it for $20 cheeper from an electronics store 5 metres away from the (game specific) store i almost bought it from, they're on the other side of the mall from
one another. Pay's to shop around!
But back to the game, the story-line is rather corny, and feels like it takes some of the actual story from the movie "Three Kings". It follows a new recruit joining B company, a rag tag group of stereotypical misfits, the hick yokel explosives expert, the hard arse sergeant, the nervous nerdy tech guy, and you the quiet guy. This makes for a couple of laughs during the cut scenes but only a couple!
The gameplay is rather fun, the weapons don't feel as realistic as they would normally be for a war game, but they're still alot of fun to mess around with and there is a rather wide selection to choose from. Vehicles are pretty basic, and there is not alot of variation in speed/strength/firepower, but they get you from A to B, which is important because the maps are fairly large if you decide to walk it.
A nice feature, and i imagine a fairly new one when the game came out is the ability to destroy a large portion of the buildings in the game, not completely but down to the skeleton. This makes for some interesting shocks when you run and hide from say, a tank thats chasing you, and you run into a house and then the tank blows all the walls off the house leaving you exposed to the next blow. This more than anything else made the game alot more fun for me.
Then when you start using the tanks yourself you can use the same tactic to take out enemy tanks instead of driving round the building. A nice little feature, and alot of fun to actually do.
My only criticism of the game is that there wasn't a local multiplayer option available with the game, (That i know of, there may be a DLC patch that i dont know about), which means the only way to share the fun of blowing up houses with your friends is online.
All in all a very fun single player game to play, it doesn't take itself too seriously (Any game where you can pack all your guys into a golf cart and drive around shooting people isn't being a serious war game), and its a good 6-7 hours of game play that was really enjoyable.
