Erm, no. He's Mr. Gamer. Mr. J. is someone entirely, diametrically opposedly, different (Mr. J. absolutely hates video games and think they're t3h 3\/i1).

So far I've also sampled Test Drive: Unlimited and Condemned: Criminal Origins. Right now I'm d/l Tomb Raider: Legend. Surprisingly there are a lot of demos available. I plan on d/l Kameo tomorrow after work.

Played the Tomb Raider: Legend demo last night. Gorgeous. It's like I've been re-introduced to Miss Croft again after years of being out of touch with her (I remember my 'maiden voyage' with her in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation - that was incredible).

I'll eventually get TR:L some time in the next couple months.

Bitch, that's wot you get for being a brat. * I'm already a Live buddy of Karmsie, nyah nyah!!

*ahem*

I don't have any games yet to do online multiplayer with. Do any of the free demos have online capability? If so I can p\/\/n people's ass for a bit (or get my little ass p\/\/n3d).




* It's 'temperton', you whore.

Erm, no. You're a dumb-ass. That is the name I gave my Siamese cat years ago - Moss Temperton. I didn't know you back in the early 90s, you 'tard.

Because I don't really know. I play real games.


Actually, I know that BF2: Modern Combat, Test Drive and The Outfit and multiplayer enabled, but I don't know about the rest.

I would do that but I never realised how hard it is to try playing a game on a 15" tv after playing it on a 28"

Wot you don't know can't hurt ya. That's why I cannot play a 360 game on a large screen HDTV - I can't afford one that size. Thus it's best if I just save up another couple hundred or so for a Trep sized 17" LCD. It's all I can get, really. That's okay, I'll play right in front of the little screen, up close and personal.

You can get one like mine for $400 refurbished, and that includes shipping, direct from Phillips.
