Modern versions seems to let me down, just finished playing through Hitman Absolution and whilst it's very pretty the gameplay is more like Gears of Hitman, the older Hitman games have a level of gameplay depth that Absolution just can't hold a candle too. Its a real shame too because gunplay always seems to improve in newer games but ultimately they sacrifice the concept of it 'being a game' and turn it into a movie experience. And like you say if I want to watch a movie I'll do just that. I'm not a fan of QTE's at all so the Telltale walking dead games are never going to appeal to me but at least they don't pretend to be anything else.

ha ha, don't worry matey I don't post many things so it's not difficult to keep track! CV stands for curriculum vitae which is basically what you send employers, a history of you work/ achievements so to speak

whats your favourite term for masterbation. Mine is 'hand to gland combat'

You probably can't hear it right now Ben, but I'm clapping! Your views in feminism have always been very grounded and the argument you present about vocal feminism's central focus isn't where it should be (i.e extreme opression in the 3rd world) is absolutely spot on. Infact the first part of your blog explains very well why you have an open mind, when you spend much of your life under the scrutiny of others you know how it feels and so are less likely to be a judgemental turd your self. I don't have bi-polar so I can't possibly understand just how hard it is, but the imagination thing is something I get. I do sincerely hope that somewhere in the non-digital world you get the same respect for you thoughtful and often deep insights as you do here, but alas I bet many people don't realise what a chap you are because they themselves are judging you. We'll probably never meet Ben but your blogs are often well written , funny and insightful and I'm sure quite a few here feel they know you pretty well. Great read....... now to remove my head from your ass.

Awesome news, good show old bean!

I agree with Chrozi's point on presentation here, Microsoft did not have the bed side mannor to get away with it and their lack of focus on actual gaming, their phrasing of people not having full connection to internet 24 hrs a day being told to 'use 360' and their lack of forethought regarding sharing (hence the reason their 30 day policy bull shit would not be available at launch) coupled strongly with the fact that these restriction are placed at the 'base of the tree. The Last of Us is like a big juicy piece of fruit hanging off that three, as juicy as it is it's still just a small part which can be ignord with out spoiling all your enjoyment. You do make some excellent points though, and personally I find network passess bull shit. A great example is Red Dead redemption. That game is widely available in GOTY edition for next to nothing second hand but I rarely see it, because it's such an awesome game. Infact I made the mistake of selling my copy and bought it again at reduced retail price because It's that awesome. If developers make games worth our time, people will keep them, I ve pretty much given up with Capcom games for this reason, they are robbing shits, I cannot stand their approach to the consumer and they deserve more back lash than microsoft in my opinion, but because the fruit is much cheaper than the tree they can get away with it.

Dead pool would be a good to to look at, I'd like to see your take on the game, from what I ve read so far the gameplay is a little lacking though!

These blogs are like the drunk messages you send to your ex girlfriend...... You are evolving the trend to new heights Blake! glad your tongue got a work out too especially after your mate cock blocked you....

Anita actually said that! that kind of destroys her goals of 'equal' in all fronts and smacks of picking the sterotypes that suit. I just don't get it, her battle aginst sterotypes...... hammered by use of stereotypes. and false ones at that! whilst I agree with scientific evidence that suggests that on average (and I have to stress 'on average') men may be more spacially aware than women, the fact is it's pretty balanced. Some girls are very practical (like the kind of lass who works out doors with Chainsaws Tami!) and some blokes I know couldn't reverse park a car if you paid them! that's what annoys me with the whole feminism attacking gaming thing, because it offends their sensibilities (some of course I shouldn't generalise) they feel that it should be removed or drastically changed. I can't stand watching a skinny little ponce like Justin Beiber bouncing around on my TV screen.... so I don't watch him. I certainly wont petition to have him removed..... maybe.

Gets a plus vote from me, if you guys at pixlbit were members of the mafia I could understand the need to use a 'witness protection' approach to commentary but other wise it would just encourage 'feeding of the trolls'
