Hands up who thinks that the PS3 earpiece/mic is a bit shite.
It may be wireless as all that, but the way it hangs limply from your ear makes you look like a reject from the early 2000s, when pricks would walk around the supermarket with bluetooth headsets in their lugholes. Like anyone is that busy. Continue reading Posh-looking Sony PlayStation wireless stereo headset coming soon
It’s been a few weeks now since my last daily gaming news item for Game Console on Techday.com.
My new-found spare time has enabled me to get on with tieing up loose end in the likes of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Batman: Arkham City in preparation for the imminent arrive of their sequels. I’ve also had a chance for some quality time playing the fantastic Deus Ex: Human Revolution and The Witcher 2: Assassin’s of Kings, a game that I overlooked when first released.

I’m currently well and truly caught up in the hype for November’s Assassin’s Creed Revelations. Having reviewed the last two Assassin’s Creed games, I’d be buggered if I’ll spoil the gaming experience by have to rush though Revelations in order to shit out a review for a web deadline. No, I’ve got my Assassin’s Creed Revelations Animus Edition for the Xbox 360 all reserved nicely, as every smart gamer should and I’ve going to play it in my own time.
Now I could wax lyrical about Assassin’s Creed all day. In fact I’ve already written some, which I’m going to publish on this very blog at a later date. For now all I’ll say is if you have a PlayStation 3 but no PlayStation Plus subscription, go and bloody buy one, you tight sod, and then download the Assassin’s Creed Revelations multiplayer beta as if you life depended on it. Do it now, and once you’re done come back here are read my Assassin’s Cred Brotherhood Review, as (possibly*) previously published in Game Console magazine.
As always, enjoy. Continue reading Retrospective: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Xbox 360 review

Jeremy Clarkson, the outspoken host of BBC’s Top Gear, recons he knows a thing or two about cars.
It’s not surprising that Jeremy is a little on the back foot as he tries to give the staple tranportation mode of the Halo series, the venerable Warthog, the Top Gear treatment. Continue reading Halo’s Warthog gets the Top Gear treatment
Last week was sadly my last week writing the daily gaming news for the Game Console section of Techday.com.
Whilst I’ve had a blast reporting on the gaming scene for New Zealand gamers, it was time to move on a try something new. Hopefully I’ll have the odd item on the site again in the future.
Whilst changes have been afoot (more on that soon), I’ve not had the time to do my usual Game Console news roundup. So, for the second time in four weeks, I present two weeks worth of my gaming news snippets. Continue reading Game Console news roundup at techday.com- final edition
After my Assassin’s Creed 2 hands-on with Patrice Désilets over at Ubisoft’s Sydney headquarters, I later had the opportunity to review the game for NetGuide magazine.
Playing the game in the comfort of my own home, and not (badly) in front of the game’s creative director was a lot less nerve-racking. What’s amazing about the Assassin’s Creed series is just how much each game improves over the last. Whilst Assassin’s Creed was a very intelligetnly written game, it only really served as a prelude to the incredible gaming experiences that were to come.
Check out my review from the pages of Game Console, below. Continue reading Retrospective: Assassin’s Creed 2 Review Xbox 360
