Gun sales banned for Xbox Live Avatars

I’ve just found out on OXM online that the Gears of War Lancer and Hammerburst avatar items are no longer available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.  Apparently a new policy came into effect for all gun-like avatar accessories on the Xbox Live Marketplace from January 1, 2012. If you’ve already bought guns for your avatar, you should still have those, but it looks like you won’t be getting any more. What a load of bollocks! I am an adult Xbox 360 gamer and I don’t see the point of this ban. They put age limits on these gun games so why [...]

Spiderman Shattered Dimensions [Xbox 360 Game Review]

It’s great fun to play Spiderman, even with the occasional glitches it’s one of those games that keeps you playing, if you know what I mean. You have loads to upgrade as well. With things like power ups and fighting moves as well as web moves…

The problem with "free"

I wouldn’t say “oh, I’ll only ever use free sex toys because they’re just for fun,” or decide that my walking shoes have to be free because I’ll only use them to explore. So why was I focused on getting my test on for free?

Do allow yourself a little bit of mythos. It’s “the Cloud”, for fuck’s sake. Gods might be in there somewhere, playing What the Neighbours Did and sneering at our metaphysical shagpile carpeting.

Burnout Crash will be Kinect enabled - but will it be good?

I am definitely going to get Burnout Crash, as I have Kinect already, so I’ll let you know if it’s crap :D. I am excited. But at the same time, I know how it goes when they bring out a new version of a game I love.  Here’s one example: Burnout Revenge was the most fun driving game of  its time for me.  But when they brought out Burnout Paradise, I thought it was SHIT — only my opinion! It just seems like sequels often ruin the originals and create a less impressive track record.  Is it just me, or [...]

Mrs Anne X Ample's favourite websites

In my Saturday afternoon ennui, I’ve decided to look up URLs that sound like unreal examples. Here’s what I found: www.example.com Like example.org, this has been reserved so that it _can_ be used as an example in documents, presentations etc without leading anyone to a random site. A random site like these: www.example.co.uk Doesn’t seem to exist, but http://example.co.uk does & took me to a Smartways Technology webmail portal that looked cowboy compared to the company’s website. www.anexample.com Don’t go there.  You’ll have to shut your browser down to escape… www.notarealurl.com Exists & is a blog feeding images of reality [...]

The graphics (and the physics) are beautiful, the interactivity is a big step up from the previous generation, and it looks like I’ll be getting it for the Animal’s birthday.
