Wii - Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

I bought this game Monday, and all I can say it is extremely tiring. I don’t really like it, as soon as I started playing it, I just wasn’t happy with it. I tried for ages on some events, but it just got really boring, and my arms felt like they were about to drop off.

There is a good side to it, and that is multi-player. I roped my sister into having a go, and she just loves it. It’s pretty fun when you are playing against others, but playing the game on your own just isn’t fun.

If you are into sweating while playing your games, then get it.

Playstation 3 - VT3 + FPS

So about a month or so ago, I brought myself a Playstation 3 which came bundled with Virtua Tennis 3. I did a lot of reading up about the PS3, most of it was bad, a lot of people were recommending the Xbox 360. I decided I would go with the PS3, considering I really enjoyed the PS2.

So now a month later; I still only have Virtua Tennis 3, I wanted to get full use out of that game, though now I have got extremely bored of it, as I spent most of my time diving around the court trying to reach the ball. I look forward to seeing if the game Top Spin (not out yet?) does better.

I now am trying to decide on what game to buy next. I really want Unreal Tournament III, but that doesn’t look like it will get released here until March :( . Another game I have been reading up on is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (think it’s called that), which looks great. I have always liked first person shooters since I played Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on the N64. I had Red Faction for the PS2 which was just awesome, I loved that way you could damage the environment around you, something I haven’t read about for any of the PS3 FPS games.

Any recommendations?

Christmas Pounds

So it’s that time where you decide to go back to the gym because of the pounds you put on over Christmas. Well, it is for me :P . I am still deciding if I should get a treadmill, or just go to the gym. Hmmm, am thinking of doing the latter, though the problem is getting motivated to go back out the door after coming home from work.

My goal for the new year is to drop some weight which I put on last Christmas, and the Christmas before that, and the… ;) .

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas, I did.
