Apologies for being away for the week, I haven’t had the time to write anything; namely for the fact that I haven’t been home, and the second is the fact that, it is freaking hot here. The last three days we have experienced 40+ Celsius temperatures, and tomorrow we are supposed to have the highest recorded temperature in the Country, so I’m not expecting to be online much if at all, due to the infrastructure not used to those temps until Monday when the temps return to a more fitting 20 degrees.
One high point in my week has been the announcement of the Halo Wars demo becoming commercially available, along with another three vid docs. Granted this information means nothing to you unless you are a Xbox 360 owner, and like the Halo franchise, but I have to say, judging from what I have seen, Ensemble Studios, (who unfortunately will be closing following the release of the game), being the premiere RTS developer, it seemed to me at least that they may have finally captured the elusive RTS Console game, a market that has been filled with countless failed attempts to convert the PC perfect market to the limited key system of the consoles.
Halo Wars is an excellent game and I recommend everyone who has not already downloaded the demo do so as soon as possible, as the game itself is released on the 28th, if financially possible I plan on purchasing the game, and I hope to have a review of it when it is released.
I have also noticed that recently that people are succumbing to Zombie Fever, and while there are a number of excellent Zombie movies out there in celluloid history, it seems that recently, the franchise has been bombarded with a plethora of sub standard skin flicks that seem to be in existence purely as an excuse to show off a pair of badly built DD’s, the more obvious examples are Zombies Zombies Zombies and Zombie Strippers. Granted Zombie movies have been B-grade at best, it unfortunately has meant that there is a lot of excuse for unnecessary and I might say horribly fake bodies.
Though my other half might offer an opposite opinion to this, at least Terence see’s the same.
