Im not really sure where to start this blog as ive not really done anything in the last week or so that i havent already talked about before, so i got thinking about how i have viewed this last year and more spefically how i have viewed it in terms of games what were my highs what were my lows and what do i consider to be the GAME OF THE YEAR?
It has been an ok year that would be my overall view of it some good games some not so good, MW2 came along and scared some of the other fish out of the sea so in the end i cant help thinking that the year could have been a lot more than it turned out to be. That said there were still some great moments and some games that i really enjoyed so in reverse order here are my top 5 games of 2009.
5. "Resident Evil 5"
Having been a resident evil fan for as long as i remember this was kinda a no brainer i know some people have said its not scary and theres no zombies and all that other shit that makes me realise that if people like that made games we would still be playing the same shit we were 15 years ago change happens deal with it. I found it to be a lot of fun even if it was fairly mindless but coop is always great it had a good story and was wrapped up in stunning graphics this was most certainly an early year treat.
4. Shadow Complex
Shadow complex is a xbox arcade game and its better than a lot of in store releases this game is fucking great think metroid old school style with terrorist and a lead guy whos both Jack Bauer and Drake from uncharted rolled into one, Great fun at a low price a must download.
3. Left 4 Dead 2
If you think this game came out to soon after the orignal your right but that doesnt mean that its not brilliant loads of new features 5 news campaigns loads of new modes and the same fun with your mates from the first theres nothing here not to love. The first time a plan comes off perfectly in versus mode will make the cost of this game disapear pure enjoyment that you will replay loads. Also Ellis is one of the best caracters in a game for a long time funny as hell and with a high pitched girly scream to destroy your ear drums to that motherfucker keeps on giving.
2. Assassins Creed 2
Most improved sequal ever fact! I began writing this blog thinking this was my game of the year until something else came back into my mind however this is the most fun you can have with yourself without picures of megan fox this xmas its amazing and has a story thats longer than most games out there lots of bang for you buck with this title.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!
1. Batman Arkham Asylum
This is my game of the year even though i think Assassins Creed 2 is better but i think this deserves it for a few reasons firstly it shows that good comic games can be made and dont need to be quick cashins it has a really deep understanding of the batman universe and refrences almost everything locations villians everything no stone left unturned and its a amazing game which is only let down by some poor boss fights. A special mention must however be made for the voice acting which is second to none its brilliant Mark Hamil is there definitve Joker none of this Heath Ledger shit that bandwagon has moved on quicker than blaming George Bush for everything (I say he did a good job!)
Anyway thats it blog over go have a good xmas i know its been a shit read i had fuck all to write about so i dont want no shit.
Now fuck off and have a good xmas comments are welcomed and buy some Little big Planet dlc Sackboy has expenisve habbits and you dont want him to go feral on your asses and mug you on new years day!

Its Christmas eve and ive only wrapped two fucking presents!
Merry fucking christmas how is everyone in internet land today? Ive been a busy guy and yet again ive neglected the blog but my new years resolution will be to update more often promise.
Game wise these last couple of weeks have been mega busy for me and ive been though a range of emotions brought on by games love, obsession, disapointment and hate.
First on to love and obsession these two emotions are mostly centred around assassins creed 2. I wasnt to excited about this game before it came out due to the first one being about as intresting as licking dog shit off your carpet and twice as repertive, but and this is a big but the sequal is astounding not so much licking dog shit off the carpet but licking Megan foxs carpet which im certain is nice and tidy. The general story of the game is following on from the first and is rather confusing so if you havent played the first id read the story on wikipedia or something first, the game has moved from the middle east to italy during the renassance and follows ezio the main characters progresion from cocky prick to cocky master assassin who you forgive for being cocky because hes hard as fucking nails and follow him on his tail of revenge in the past to find clues in the future like i said confusing. This could be the perfect sequal all the bad points from the first have been addressed head on the missions are no longer so dull you would rather go to work and do a double shift for free at a westlife concert insted of picking another dumb as fuck npcs pocket there varied and interesting (except the flying mission which drove me insane). There are now loads and loads of side missions taking the forms of assaination missions which are better than any that the first game had you perform to beating up unfaithful husbands and delivering letters which while not sounding fun are pretty good and best of all totally optional. The game also features an good idea where you can invest in a small city which serves as your base of operations which will bring you a steady income in and allow you to buy weapons and upgrades at reduced prices, speaking of weapons theres loads of them which lots of different counter kills and uses so expermenting becomes a big part of combat which is tricky at first but with practice you will be destroying city guards in no time and really goes a long way to make you feel like a master assassin. There really are not any huge negative parts to this game and nothing game breaking sure ezio sometimes decides to jump when he sound climb but its normally due to an error from the player that the game. I cannot recommend this game highly enough if your in two minds about buying it i say go for it im certain you will enjoy it.
Disapointment and hate came in the form of the saboteur this month which after wooing me with promises of being GTA 4 in ww2 liberating paris from those cheeky nazis only gave me a irish main caracter with a questionble accent foul mouth and animation that makes him run like hes shit his pants. I have to admit ive not given this game much more than an hour or twos play and its certainly to early to judge it to harshly because it could turn out to be great but rite now im skeptical its on the play when i have more time pile for now.
On a quick note i need to comment on Call of dutys mw2s fucking wank spawning system online how hard is it to make a spawning system that works? Im personally growing tired of dying then spawning round the coner with my back to the guy who just blew my brains all over the wall, call me old fasioned but if then other teams in one area of the map is it to much to ask to be spawned away from them? Needs a patch i reckon hopefully theres one in the works.
On a really sad note ive lost my 8 inch sackboy toy so if anyone sees him send him home we all miss him here.
Lastly ive played the Bayonetta demo this month and didnt really expect to much from this game but really enjoyed it so much so i pre ordered it too. I expected devil may cry with a woman and was rite but it feels far more fluid and slighty easier to get into and with any luck it wont end up being a repertive pecie of shit like DMC4, Its just a shame they have rated it 18 with a 15 rating it could have been the game of choice for horny lads goin though puberty to wank themsevles dry to i cant help think the developers would have made much more money had this key demographic been able to buy the game without having to get there parents involved.
Anyway hope you have enjoyed the read this time any comments are welcome even if you want to call me a cunt and in the imortal words of sean from the saboteur top of the fucking morning cunts!
Merry Christmas

War what is it good for? Online multiplayer of course
Welcome back game fans its been a week or so since the last post and the world of gaming has rushed out of the dark and cemented a place in the main stream thanks to Modern Warfare 2!
Not that Modern Warfare is the only reason that games continue to grow in popularity and appeal but i have never seen a game cause such a huge impact, and what a game it is.
To say Modern Warfare 2 is simply Cod 4 revamped with a few extra features would do this game a great insult, sure the games are similar but the scope of MW2 is far bigger from its huge and deep mulitplayer with loads of new features perks and weapons to the special ops missions which are a series of short missions with varying objectives from races to coving a team mate from an AC130 plane with the added godlike feeling this provides jesus aint got shit on this!
Sure the single player is fairly short but it provides more memorible set peices and levels that most games managed over a full series short and very sweet is the term here. Theres really not a lot i can say about this game that you havent already read somewhere else for me its everything i wanted in a game and more Game of the year this very well maybe.
Also this week ive been spending time with two other games the Grand theft auto 4 expansion packs and the Left for dead 2 demo.
Grand theft auto episodes from liberty city should in its own right be as big of a release as MW2 but it wont get the attention it deserves due to the unstobbable march of MW2 so ill sing its praises from this blog to the next porn site you visit. The game continues the story of two characters who you have met before but may not remember from GTA4 Johnny the biker from the lost and the damned and Luis from the Balled of gay Tony both crop up during Nicos missions in GTA4, What these expansions do is show the other sides to these missions and the life of these two contrasting characters and the way they live there lives Johnnys all about brotherhood and loyalty and Luis loves money, bitches and his mother who hes never good enough for. What you can expect its more trademark GTA missions from the go hear steal this outrun the cops to stealing attack helicopters for rich arab business men playboys all in a days work (fucking beats my job thats for sure) and to top it off with an ace soundtrack and classic humor this is one game you cannot afford to miss Rockstar have done it again.
The L4D2 demo hit marketplace early last week and i have to say how much fucking fun is this game the first game was a mulitplayer classic and this one is bigger better and more boomer more campains weapons and game modes, I find myself in a rare position ive not played a demo this much since last year when the orignals demo came out if a demo keeps you intrested after more than 2 plays it must be fantastic. People have moaned about the sequal comeing out so soon after the first but i say this is no problem the graphics engine has been updated and theres bag loads more content, including the realism mode which while still wrapped in mystery as to how it will play has got me thinking that it will be something like four players start as the suvivors and as they die they become the infected and that sounds ace. I cannot wait for this game and strongly recomend you try it.
Thats everything for this week been a long drawn out affair but its done now, ill be back soon with more shit to bore you with so happy gaming till then.
Much love Raz7el x
P.S sackboys says buy some motherfucking Little Big Planet DLC

Twice as evil as Hitler but four times as good looking (Welcome to the waste)
Firstly im shit at gettin around to doin things weeks have passed since i promised a batman review so here it is, Ace game great graphics shit boss fights buy the fucker nuff said!
Right so on to the reason this blog is months overdue i redisoverd fallout 3 and lost all intrest in anything else including my girl friend who is no doubt seeking help for my crippling addiction.
My story of wasteland surival is one not unlike most im sure however what makes mine special is i decided to be the most evil bastard the world has even know (atleast the fallout world). My character called Kym looks amazing seriously hot lass with a heart of pure ice, remember megaton? well Kym fucking doesnt gone talking a huge crater then she hunted down the last survivers and killed them to why did she do this well why not and bottle caps all the bottle caps a girl could want.
Not convinced how about the mass enslaving that kym did she even went as far as to rescue a person from those adorable super mutants just to enslave them moments later frankly shes a fucking saint!
The reason im documenting these events is to demonstrate the level of choice you have in the best game to come out in 2008 and now with the game of the year edition out theres not a better time to buy the game for the first time or rediscover it, even the ps3 is in on the expansion pack bandwagon now. This is an amazing game a very deep rpg with fantastic characters, plot and environment this isnt really a review but if it was id say go buy this game.
Also i had the misfortune to play Borderland and what a pile of steaming horse shit it turned out to be it seems apt to mention this game now as the fallout comparisons it draws well here what they have im common NOTHING! Fallout is deep rewarding and totally immersive Borderland is cel shaded badly and plays like a bad mmorpg with out other players avoid like the swine flu!
This brings this post to a fitting close check back next week i promise ill bore you some more, Fuck me GTA liberty city episodes install is complete, shave my ball and call me jean luc picard time to play ill let you know what i think next time although if anything like GTA 4 it will be amazing. Much love see you next time check out 24 hour gamer!

My friends the date is ridiculous!
Hello chums! this is the first of many blogs from a gamer and in this blog i hope to deliver a fair verdict on games and hope to deliver it with a slice of humor.
As i dont have a vast income i cant play every game out there so will only give verdicts on games i have played.
As i write this im in a game of gears 2 online with a bunch of friends and it makes me realise how far games have come since i started playing many years ago on the NES, from super mario with its shocking represntation of the pluming trade and mushroom abuse my plumer has never jumped on a defenseless turtle in my garden. Nowadays we have voice chat and online multiplayer with many many pricks who feel the need to scream down a mic safe in the knowledge that i can never find and harm them, anyway im being side tracked and short on time so ill bring this to a close now. I intend to update this blog each week with a new review and a view on the weeks gameing news and my personal views it promises to be one hell of a ride filled with adventure sex well neither adventure or sex but you get the idea.
Next review Batman coming soon!!!!!
Much Love Raz7el
