I recently wrote a post on whether SOCOM: Confrontation was worth a look-in while we wait for new toys to play with at Christmas (Yes, I am still waiting for Modern Warfare 2!)

Despite starting with the...

As my local DVD/Game rental store had run out of MW2 copies, I figured I’d finally give Borderlands a go. I’d heard a lot of positive feedback from clan mates and so was keen to check it out. While I was downloading the latest (frikkin’) PS3 system update I set up a single player game and got stuck in. The intro video was pretty smart and was a...
