This month has been made up of three games:

Just Cause

This game is a couple of years old, so I managed to pick it up for 5 pound. There are lots of problems with the game, but the map is massive and there is loads to do. Ive put about 15 hours into the game, I managed to complete the main storyline but have loads of sidequests, races and collection missions that need to be finished. I might go back to it eventually but I have a backlog of games to catch up with.

Halo 3: ODST

Ill have to admit, I wasnt too bothered about this at first but as ususal Bungie sucked me in after watching all of the video content on xBox live. After a couple of hours of play I am really starting to enjoy it. To anyone who has played the other Halo games it feels no different apart from having to think about your health. Firefight mode is fun and the Halo 3 multiplayer on a seperate disc is a nice addition. I will write a full review soon.

FIFA 10

Annoyingly I had ordered this for release day, but those bastards at Royal Mail ensured that I had to wait another week before I got my hands on it.

EA Canada have made some great changes to the game and although the new 360 degree dribbling system takes a bit of getting used to, FIFA 10 is the best football game yet. This is another game that needs a review and that will be up soon.

Stupid xBox

I bought an xBox elite last October, the NXE then came out which allowed us to install our favourite games on to the Hard Drive which would reduce wear and tear on our Disc Drive. A year later and my machine starts to break down, but what part? The bloody disc drive!! Thats right, the one that doesnt get used very much, the last thing you would expect to break, luckily it was still in warranty and to be fir to MS, they have really improved their repair turnaround times. I sent my console off on Tuesday, it arrived in Germany on Thrusday and was back on my desk at work on Wednesday. I have to presume its all ok as I am not back at work until tomorrow, but if it is the well done MS you have one thing right.

There is only one game that will really dominate this month, its out on the 10th November and involves shooting, I think you know what I mean…
