Propane Nightmares's Weblog

Will post loads of stuff up probably Saturday. More Reviews, Far Cry 2, an interview I had with From First To Last, more Community Spotlights and Character Battles with Street Fighter. Wtf yeah dont ask haha.

Coming close to 50th review/feature now which is pretty sweet. Still got Rock Band 2 to finish up, Motorstorm Pacific Rift to start and Spyro to come so who knows maybe Ill beat my target for the year.

Listening to – Take The City Back – Snow Patrol

Feeling – Pretty damn tired.

Interview craze.

So, I can start revealing a bit more about this Artwerk feature Ive been working on now.

If you havent already then be sure to read this here.

If your a fan of games like Fifa, Burnout or Need For Speed then no doubt your well aware of EA Trax and what it does. However Artwerk takes it a little deeper in the sense it brings the music closer to the communities, and in our case. OUR community. Ill have a lot more music stuff to post up as the weeks and EA titles roll by but first I’d like you guys to come up with some questions about Artwerk so we can get our ball rolling.

Then we’ll delve deeper into the music.

Update

Mega pissed about Silent Hill 5 being pushed back! I wanted a scary game to play on Haloween! Now Ill have to get Dead Space

Other news, no reviews to do so Ive been busy on some features. Mmm yes, so currently working on a Saints Row 2 Vs Grand Theft Auto 4 comparision, will be good to see who wins that.

A Need For Speed history hopefully in time for the next release Undercover.

And more work with EA for me to do Mhmmm interesting

Oh, Im also an Xbox Ambassador now so if help is needed, give me a shout

Why are you pretending…

Right so yeah, Ive got this new pc so why dont I update this?

Im bored and lazy thats why.

I reckon Ill do a review stock pile at the end of the year, that way it looks like Ive done way much more than I do awesome.

No other news bar the fact Ill be doing a lot more features for Xboxliveaddicts and lots of exciting stuff with a friend Ive made at EA. More to come on that later.

Hmm, sticking with Xbox theme heres a featurish like insight into our new dashboard update coming later this season so click along here to check out what the marketplace/games store is going to become.

I also got the oppertunity recently to plug Inside Xbox Editor MrPointyHead from everything from his gaming habits, to his orgins of the GT, makes a great read something you should check out here!

I should have a lot more to say but I cant actually remember much of it at this moment intime, Im also going to have to come up with more imaginative and possibly more relevant blog entry titles rather than the first line i hear from the song that Im listening to at the time of writing, and hey if posting on here more often gets more pageviews then thats probably something I should keep doing!

So with the return of my pc, all new and shiny I should get writing on this again, to untense my fingers on the long stay away.

Theres a few reviews I can update here but Ill do that some other time once I count them again…lost count on what Im on now. Not quite 50 yet though.

Other than that, just been playing the ol’ Lovefilm games that Ive been getting sent to me, I cant be arsed with that whole Lovefilm review thing anymore ill just simplify it…

Dark Sector – Good story, quite fleshed out graphics and gameplay, though lacks replayability.

Overlord – Fun game, but drags on a lot and controls are a little on the clunky side.

Bully – GTA, But in a school. But shit.

Battlefield:MC – Only really got it for veteran status on Bad Company, not a bad game but obselite in this world of FPS.

Mass Effect – Interesting game, fun for a Third person, little too much dialogue and too much to go wrong because of what you say.

Ridge Racer 6 – Actually a really impressive game, especially for a launch title, looking out for this one on the cheap, or possibly a RR8.

Unreal Tournament 3 – Was hoping on an actual campaign/story. Ended up with more of the same Unreal Tournament with just more annoying friendly A.I.

Too Human – There was a good reason why I used to get confused with Too Human and Mass Effect back when neither had been released, because theyre almost exactly the same. Except ME has too much talking. And TH was decided to be a trilogy before they even started, so to save time and writing, they just produced a THIRD of a game.

More news later, well, probably not news, just jibberings.

I havent forgotten about you…

Mechanical R — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:40:21 +0000

Yeah been busy with a lot of work and going out and about getting on with things, dont worry blog…ill be back soon.

I need something, to believe in…

Mechanical R — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 23:56:32 +0000

So, since my last Happy Tree Friends review…lets have a look at the others Ive done since…*checks*

Review – Alone In The Dark

Review – Schizoid

Review – Battlefield: Bad Company

Review – Soul Calibur

I reviewed my own copy of Alone In The Dark, cos its not like XCN were going to send any, and with Acey away till this week, and Mush being away, nothing new was coming through.

Lovefilm review -

Clive Barkers Jericho
Pros: Good game, very gory, not really scary so much goes on the old massive gore fest. Interesting story.
Cons: Too short. Only 5 missions split into chapters. Can only be lengthened by playing through on Hard and thats only cos your A.I. friends are thick as shit. No multiplayer
Rating: 6/10

Thats all really. Buy Newton Faulkners album Hand Built By Robots. Its fucking class. All Ive been listening too all week.
