Happy Halloween

I've spent Halloween watching some horror movies. First I watched 'Flight of the Living Dead' and I thought that was pretty damn good...Funny/gory/cheesy/bad acting at times...Everything a good Horror movie needs and than I watched 'Event Horizon' (not seen it for a while) and that's more old school horror, it's kind off Hellraiser meets Alien meets The Shining meets The Haunting and it's pretty damn great.

Now I'm going to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (I Have Zombie 3 on the Horror Channel [UK] on at the moment and it's utter rubbish)

Whatever you do don't fall asleep.

Assassins Creed - Limited Edition

Here's the box and figure for the soon to be released (Mid Nov this year) Assassins Creed for the Xbox 360 and PS3

I really liked the Bioshock limited Edition but it was a bit over priced so I ended up just getting the standard version. This is about £60 and that's a lot for a game that you will probably get for £30 or less without the figure.

I'll probably pass unless I find it really cheap... I hope this game is as good as it looks but I have a feeling it could be a let-down.

Beam Me Up Scotty!

Why am posting this? Well that's from my local newspaper...Yep. I live in Linlithgow in Scotland and I have done for 33 years

You can find out more info at the link below as well as some pics from the Star Trek website.

Star Trek TOS has always been part of my life and I have all 3 season on DVD... Scotty rules and even more so that he comes from the same place as I do :)

Halo 3: The Master is back Chief

Halo 3...It's going to be big...NO!!! It's going to BE HUGE...Wellll at least that's what I heard on the news today.

Thing is? It bloody well is going to be huge, because it looks like after all this time, Bungie has made a damn fine single player game and probably the best multi-player gamer to date (so everybody says who has played it)

Here's the problem though...I got to play the Halo 3 Beta and I've got to be honest, it did not blow me away. In fact, I was bored playing it after a few days and while many/most played it non stop for the 3 weeks they had it, I just did not really care...Crackdown, the game that the beta came with was 10000 times more fun I found.

I did not play Halo 2 but I loved Halo: CE when the first Xbox came out. I had read that Halo 2 was not up to much so I gave it a miss...Now here we have Halo 3 something like 3 years later and I did not really get into the multi player beta and I have not played halo 2, so I've lost half the story...BUT I'M GETTING IT...WHY??????

Well, It seems that you don't really need to have played Halo 2 to get the most out of Halo 3, In fact, Halo 3 is more of a direct follow up to Halo: CE (I can read any story info I'm missing online anyway)...Halo 3 is the final chapter, so at last the story ends and it's not a crap ending like Halo 2 had (so I read)...Since I loved...no LOVED!!! Halo: CE I really want to play out the rest of the story and the single player game is supposed to be damn fine.

Now you also have the multi-player aspect of the game that I've played and did not really get into...Well it seems the things I did not like about the beta (not being about to custom your avatar for 1) are now sorted..YEA!!!After reading many, many reviews of Halo 3 I now want to give the multi player another chance, It really looks like a whole load of fun and there's zillions to do.

So I'm going ask santa for Halo 3 and Mass Effect because Christmas is just the perfect time to play these 2 games for me (free time...oh yea baby!)...Sure I could go out tomorrow and get Halo 3, but I won't (willpower now...willpower)..No, I'll wait until. Christmas...Really!!!;) Oh yea...I'll also need a new GOLD Account to go with it:P

Battlestar Galactica Cylon Kids

I shot this footage last year (about Aug 2006) of my wee niece and nephew just playing and having fun.

While I was sorting the footage onto DVD for my sister; I decided to edit some of it down and added some clips/sound effects/music/credits from the TV show Battlestar Galactica (remake show)

I think it turned out 'OK' for what it is and my family and the kids got a kick out of seeing it:).
