After reading so many reviews, my expectations for this game remained very low. However, since Viking: Battle of Asgard came out the wealth of unfair reviews have spread like wildfire and I have learned not to judge by others opinions. First and foremost I use a few things to help judge how fairly a game should be rated. For instance a game’s budget has a lot to do with it. It’s incredibly unfair to compare a game such as Killzone 2 and Rise of the Argonauts, or God of War. There is an unbelievable amount of more manpower and funds fueling a game such as God of War. I hope many people keep this in mind.

Yes, you’ve probably noticed we’re not posting that much lately. There are a two main reasons for this:

• Things worth posting are about as plentiful as a beggar’s wealth.
• Other things (namely alcohol) are about as plentiful as silicon in Pamela Anderson’s chest.

We apologise for this, after a fashion - we’re not that sorry though, because any posts we made would be random jabbering which we’re sure you don’t want to read when you could be drinking silicon - no wait, I got that metaphor mixed up. Something to do with Pamela Anderson’s chest, I don’t know.

Regardless, will will be back around new years, and my first article will be a review of Motorstorm 2 and a couple of mini reviews (Kane and Lynch: Dead Men and Legendary). More on those when they go live.

In the mean time, we’d like to wish you a happy new year, and we hope you got many new games for Christmas, as well as alcohol (there’s got to be something to punctuate the binge drinking, surely?). So, until the new year, then!

Voice chat was patched back into home yesterday, but only in their personal spaces and clubhouses, to ‘communicate and share with friends online’. We just thought you should know That patch brings home up to version 1.05. That’s a whole 0.05 more than it was at the launch of the open beta. Wow.

PSN has provided us with so many great games this year we’re almost worried about next year (we don’t think our brains could handle much more). From the likes of Pixeljunk Monster and Eden to the bigger things like Wipeout HD and Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty, we’ve been so spoilt for choice we’ve felt like children on Christmas.

Far be it, then, for Sony to manage to release another gem just a week before Christmas, right? Surely, another great downloadable game at the time of the year we’re least likely to be able to afford it? Yes, we have another gem on our hands.

According to PS3Fanboy, another PSN game is being ported to the PSP, and this time it’s Pixeljunk Monsters, the incredibly hard Tower Defence game from the makers of Pixeljunk Eden. Apparently, there is going to be even more content than ever before, which is good. It releases next year, though we don’t have a specific date.

Oh dear. Free Radical, the developers of the much-loved TimeSplitters series and the disappointing Haze maybe shutting down. The developer’s staff have congregated at a hotel when they found the developer locked and are awaiting word to see if they’re shut down or not.
