lost in games

What would a new year be without some resolutions and set ourselves some targets. Still have not decided my resolutions with regards to life in general but guess what. I have already made up my mind about the ones which relate to my gaming. Without further ado, here they are.

1. Write 3 great (LOL!) articles a month. Currently i am writing some stuff on a regular basis but most are just writing thoughts as they come to me. My aim is write some articles of proper length and and quality (again LOL!) beginning from February.

2. Play 2 great old games and I have already decided which ones too. The first one is Beyond Good & Evil on the original XBOX and the second Grim Fandango on the PC. Both superb games that i should have already played. In 2009 i will be makind amends.

3.  Get back to football games. I used to be a pro maniac from the days when it was still named International Superstar Soccer till it was changed to PES. Master Leagues and local multiplayer games were part of the training and i was quite good too. Not anymore. Basically gave it up two years ago and never actually got back into it. Last year i bought my first ever FIFA and also stayed with the franchise this year too. But i have not actually played it much apart from the “Be A Pro” mode. I miss being good at the footy games and i want 2009 to be my comeback year.

There are a few more that i am thinking about but these are the big 3 i really want to achieve by the end of 2009. I will of course be updating the blog on all three of them and any new ones i decide to include.

The year begins!

Once again duty calls. I will be away tomorrow for the entire day on army service. I can not give you any more details as this is very highly classified information………

As i will be away there will be no update on my blog. On Wednesday i will be back.

As you may or may not be aware, Microsoft is compensating Xbox Live members for the problems the service had over the christmas period with a free XBLA game. The game is Undertow and is available for free download from XBLA as of today until this Sunday.

360 owners do not forget to download your free game!

Good morning and Merry Christmas everybody!

I have added a couple more webcomics links (2pstart and joyoftech). There is also a new page with my favourite books and movies now.

Hope you enjoy these.

I know that you will be devastated to hear that there will be no blog post tomorrow, October 12th.

The reason is that I will be serving my country honourably. I am participating in the demanding military exercise, Nikiforos, of the elite National Guard.

I will back with you on Monday.
