Games, games, games.....

Been playing some games in the last few days, haven't played for a while due to Psp addiction and trying to get ready to go traveling in the new year. The last couple of days has seen Chem revisiting the battlefield, namely Battlefield 2 and Counter-Strike. Eagle eyed viewers amongst you will spot my mate Andys sweet, sweet face in the picture on the left. One of the great things about CS is being able to spray 'Tags' where ever you want and they can be a picture of anything you want. Obviously, the more stupid the picture, the more amusing. I was playing one day and came across 3 players on my side, staring at a porn tag that someone had sprayed, I quickly sprayed a lovely picture of the one and only Alan Shearer on top of their porn, which didn't seem to please them, they shot the crap out of
Alan :) Counter-Strike is hard. Your lifespan can be in the seconds and then you're waiting for the game to start again. Choose your weapon and leg it to the action and the action is constant, there's very little quiet time in CS. No resting on a grassy knoll waiting to snipe the enemy, it's M16 a-go-go. Battlefield 2 on the other hand, is a full on war. The maps are massive and there's plenty of grassy knoll's. You can charge right into the action or slink round the periphery doing your own thing. Jump into a helicopter gunship, race across the map raining death down upon the enemy, before crashing as you attempt to land, when you should have parachuted instead. One of the wicked things about Battlefield 2 is being able to link up into squads of up to six people and then be able to talk to those people, especially when it's with Chris, Andy and James. It makes such a difference, you can even try to play using 'strategy'. When you're skimming across the water ready to land and assault the beach; the sun is setting and there's the bass rumble of explosions and the pock pock of gunfire in the distance, it's f**king awesome!! You can't believe how good this game looks and sounds at times. It's taking me ages to write this, I keep having to have a quick shoot :) For a proper review of Battlefield click here. Counter-Strike is an add-on for Half-Life 2


Half-life 2 is the best single player fps I've played. I know I say that about every game I play, but in this case it's true. Better than Halo! Edge gave it 10/10, very rare indeed. It's so innovative, which is hard to find these days, everything around you can be interacted with and the gravity gun is something else. Jamie, you must get this game on xbox! I just need a decent fps on me psp now and a 360, mmmmmm.
