Guildwars Nightfall Music Video

I made this video when nightfall come out to demonstrate the new classes dances. Thought I would start posting my old videos on here to catalog them all in one place.

A new beta patch for Battlefield 2 (Includes vista and widescreen support)

I pretty much stopped playing the PC battlefield games after moving over to vista. This was mainly because both 2142 and Battlefield 2 like to crash on my newest PC with vista. Problems aside I have always enjoyed playing battlefield 2 and decided to give this 1.3 GB patch a go. The game runs fine and it looks nice at the newer higher resolutions it supports but there is only a handful of beta servers available. These few servers all seem to run one map 24/7 which means a server gets boring quickly. I can understand people wanting to play on the new maps so hopefully that will change soon. The main problem with this new patch aside from the lack of servers is there is some weird bug that prevents people from join certain servers. I checked it out on the forums and there is no solution yet, so I think I will wait before the patch comes out properly and all the servers move to the new patch before giving it another go. The new maps seem good although I could not play them properly as most of the servers I could actually join had vehicles disabled. To me if someone wants to play battlefield with vehicles disabled why not go play cod? After all Vehicles are the main selling point in the battlefield series are they not?

The Great Escapes 1337 Motorcycle

I was watching the great escape over the weekend and never noticed before how 1337 the german motorcycle in it really was.

28 More Zombie maps for World at War

Feeling a little cheated after COD:World at War only shipped with one zombie map?

Well fileplanet have just made  a map pack out of 28 map by various artists for all (PC players) to enjoy. It kind of puts the offcial map pack (of four maps) to shame especially considering console owners will have to pay for it.

You can download the map pack here!

I am planning to try this pack with my friends at our weekly lan gathering so should have some feedback on it then.

Completed Gears of War 2

Well I have just finished off gears of war 2 with a friend on hardcore, and it was outstanding. It gets really good near the end but it is a quality title throughout. I managed to complete the whole game playing only coop. It was a mixture of split screen coop with family over Christmas, and playing with friends over X Box live. Now all that remains is to complete it again on insane mode which should be a challenge. Coop is where Gears really shines, and there are some nice sections (like the bit where you have to carry the explosives) that really complete the experience if your playing with a human player. Here’s hoping that the Resident Evil 5 coop will be up to the same standards because nothing beats coop in my books.

I have also been playing skate recently, although there are parts that make me want to break the disc in two. Any of the challenges that needed a 360 flip took ages, because of the way they crammed so many moves onto the analogue stick. I do like the analogue controls, its put me off tony hawks for life. But they do need some refinement. Those parts are over now however and I am just stuck on the last skate magazine photo.

Got some new games over the holiday to keep me busy

360 Games

• Mercenaries 2
• Far Cry 2
• Gears of War 2
• Soul Calibur 4
• Army of two

Funnily enough most are sequels, at least they are good ones. There are too many below par sequels being released nowadays.

As for the PC

• Lost Planet Colonies edition (Not bad for a fiver)
• GTA 4
• Sacred 2

Do not get GTA 4 for the PC whatever you do.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts (My Vehicles)

I got Rare’s Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts for my 360 as it seems to be lacking any platformers, aside from Kameo (Also by Rare). The game is great fun and takes some ideas from garrys mod and the gravity gun from half life 2. It has fun physics and a Lego like vehicle construction mode. Nuts and Bolts lets you build your own vehicles out of pieces you buy and collect throughout the singleplayer mode. The vehicles you make can be used in singleplayer or online. I cant wait to make a good selection of vehicles to use online against other people. Here are some of my vehicles I have made so far. My favorite vehicle so far is the racing hovercraft, I use it in all the water races and when I want to travel between land and water.

You can see my new photos and everyone elses online at the Banjo Kazooie Showroom here!

Fallout 3 (G.E.C.K.) Construction Set Out + my first plugin

The construction set for Fallout 3 has now been released. This allows players to build their own content, be it whole cities or small side quests. I am going to start with simple things like adding objects then move onto quests once I’ am familiar with the controls. For those of you who have used the older elder scroll construction sets, the G.E.C.K is pretty much the same. There are some enhancements which are detailed on the G.E.C.K. wiki.

I have thrown together a quick plugin, whilst familiarising myself with the construction kit once again. As you can see from the screenshot, this mod simply adds all of the bobble heads in one place so they are easy to find. You can find them in the male toilet in Megaton. It just occurred to me some of you may of destroyed Megaton. If so shame on you!

Download Bobble Head plugin

Download the G.E.C.K.

G.E.C.K. wiki

To install a plugin, place it in Fallout 3’s data folder than activate it from the data file menu on the splash screen.
