What I'm Playing - 12/12/2008 - 7:00PM
Right well as you know I've been playing Fallout 3 in order to create the play diary for you all to read and follow. I've played about 3/4's of an hour of that and I've just reached Megaton.
I've also been playing some more Lips chipping away towards those last few achievements. I sang a few more songs to add some more medals towards my 500x medal achievement and I uploaded some more songs to my Lips library in order to progress towards the upload 300 songs to Lips achievement. Lips is a game that's going to take some time to complete. The album that i uploaded this time was by a man known as Lonnie Donegan, you have probably never heard of him he is a singer from the 1950's his songs are a good laugh you may have heard of my old man's a Dustman by him, if not a copy of it is below have a listen see what you think.

Reason Behind Rise Of The Argonauts UK Delay
Codemasters have stepped up and explained why there is no Rise of the Argonauts for us UK gamers. The game should have been on our store shelves last Friday along with the rest of Europe however as stated in an earlier post the date have been moved back to 6th Febuary 2009. The reason Codemasters says is due to a lack of retail space on store shelves at the present time, Codemasters issued the following statement.
"It was quite literally a retail issue,"
"We tried to get the game into retail here in the UK in line with everybody else, but they simply could not offer us the shelf space that the game deserved at such a busy time within the retail sector."
"As a result, we decided to hold back the UK launch of the game until we could get the shelf space we believe the title deserves."
So there you have it us UK gamers will just have to wait.

Edge - Batman: Arkham Asylum
Edge online have had a chance to play around and take a look over the newest Batman game coming out for the 360 next year. Is this just another movie opportunity release or is this set to be a blockbuster worthy of standing on it's own. Personally I think it can survive as a standalone game quite easily from what I've seen so far the graphics look impressive which is always a good start but Head on over to edge using the link below to decide for yourself.

Team Fortress 2 Update..Update
A few months back Valve announced they would be providing an update to the 360 version of Team Fortress 2. This update will include everything that has been released for the PC version of the game. However since the announcement Valve have gone very quiet on the subject until today. Valve posted some information on their site saying that they are actively working on the update however no release date has been mentioned. I'm guessing it was just a quick hello we haven't forgotten sort of thing. Oh well keep waiting folks.

Here it is my first Play Diary as promised.I will not be trying to avoid spoilers really as I'm just going to tell it as I see it so if you don't want the story spoiled then don't read on. I will offer a quick guideline of where to go and what to do however this is not a walkthrough and if you try and use it like one you will get lost quick, there of plenty of places such as gamefaqs.com for walkthroughs if you require one. This Diary will record me going out into the Fallout world in order to find the 20 Vault Tec Bobbleheads required for the achievement. After I have collected these I may carry on with the main story if you so wish. Any way enjoy part 1.

It's 3 years later you are rudely awakened.
It's all gone wrong your Dad has done a runner out the vault and now everyone is after you Jonas has been murdered.
Amata gives you a gun collect your stuff off the desk and leave the room.
Let the radroaches kill the officer then finish them off before robbing his body.

Move through the Ratroach infested corridor and past the man banging on the window.
Kill the officer int he control room and rob the items and the janitors items.
Continue on and you'll find Amata and the Overseer watch the scene unfold.
Choose wether to kill the overseer or not get a copy of the office key and terminal password. Head towards his office.
