Revolution becomes Wii
Unless you have had your head in the sand for a few days you are probably aware of the name change to the new Nintendo console. The old name; Revolution, is out and up steps; Wii. Nope you read right, Wii. It is pronouced we rather wie and there are some good reasons ...
Ahh Miss Croft, you’re back.
Tomb Raider has been around for w while, in fact Lara Croft is now the largest selling female character of all time, but recently is has been a bit of a let down.
The original Tomb Raider, which I first played on a PlayStation (the big bulky grey thing) and it was something else. A woman, raiding tombs, in hot pants, with guns, what a strange combination but it was a formula for success. This was followed up with the second game that once again was a classic, adding more moves and vehicles to Lara’s aid. The third game was a PC version for me, this added even more to the mix with a quest for four mysterious artefacts from around the world. The next game ‘Last Revelation’ was very short lived and the game was wearing thin with me. I never even bothered with ‘Chronicles’ as I could not see the benefit. Lucy tried the last incarnation; Angel Of Darkness and reported that it was pants! What were Eidos doing with Lara, they had taken one of the world’s most forefront gaming characters and slowly killed her, they were mad!
Now enter Tomb Raider Legends, the latest multi platform Lara Croft game.
What a difference time makes, Lara is back!

And you can keep your achievements!
Last night should have been one of those 'lads' nights when we all get together play console and kick back. Instead I had a meeting with the cycle club so I had to bail. The venue for the meeting was just down the road from Mr. bob g bob house so ...
Can I have….Pleeeeeease…
is going to be the cry all over the land soon.
play.com have put the [[Xbox360]] on pre-order already along with a load of games and tasty little extras. Whilst I have to admit I though the price was going to be a bit higher I still think I can hold off on the purchase and wait for sales to settle.
What am I thinking, it is only a preliminary release date and it is the end of November! How about we just sit and wait and see what happens, please reframe from getting too excited, well ok just a little bit.
