If you have read some of my previous posts within the past year, you may have noticed that I am a big fan of the music games, in particular Rock Band. I have always found Rock Band to be a personal favorite over the likes of Guitar Hero: World Tour. However, what they have in game quality, is not matched in peripherals. The only thing that I have found to not like about the Rock Band games is the guitars. I can’t quite put my finger on the problem but they are just not the same as the classic Guitar Hero 3 ones. As for the drums, I love the drums, they are a brilliant piece of gaming kit. That…

Walking through the shops today, I saw, and bought, a really neat gadget holder from Red5, the gadget shop. Oddly enough it’s called the Handy Gadget Holder, and it’s so brilliant. It cost me just £7 to buy and will hold most types of gadgets, whether it’s a phone, iPod or a TV remote. All it is is a pair of hands in the position that can only be described as if they were playing a gameboy. All you do is slot your gadget in there and you know exactly where it is, whenever you want it. I’m currently using it to hold my iPod Touch which is particularly useful as if you are listening to music, you can easily…

Everyone’s favourite triangle crisps, Doritos, have released a brand new flavour, unfortunately, I can’t actually tell you what flavour that is because it’s a mystery flavour. It’s called the iD3 flavour currently, whether that will change once the flavour is guessed, but Doritos have created a whole new competition and game based around this new mystery flavour. With each pack of the iD3 flavour you buy, you get a special code which gives you 6 lives, this is where the game part comes into it. They have created an online game where you enter this code, which grants you the 6 lives, and you can guess at the mystery flavour. If you guess the mystery flavour correctly, then you will…

I am always looking to increase the amount of comments on this blog and I had seen this plugin before, plus after a couple of commenters had recommended it, I decided to install it. The plugin is CommentLuv, and what this does is, it gives the commenter a link back to one of their latest blog posts, if they have a blog that is. So, how do you benefit from this plugin when commenting? When you leave a comment, you are given the option of putting in a web address that is linked via your name in your comment. But, when you enter that address, the CommentLuv plugin scans the address to find a blog feed, and if it finds…

With 2008 over, it’s time to look forward to the new year 2009. With a great year for games behind it, which gave us titles like Gears of War 2, Rock Band, Guitar Hero World Tour, Little Big Planet, Fable 2, Grand Theft Auto 4 and many more that deserve a mention, but can 2009 really live up to 2008? Here is a list of just a few of the great titles to expect in 2009: Skate 2 – 23/01/2009 StarCraft 2 – 01/02/2009 Tom Clancy’s HAWK – 2/2009 FEAR 2: Project Origin – 13/02/2009 Street Fighter IV – 20/02/2009 Halo Wars – 27/02/2009 Killzone 2 – 27/02/2009 Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction – 3/2009 Resident Evil 5 – 13/03/2009…

And so I’m back, from outer space…. well, not quite outer space, although it would be faster to get to. I have returned from my Christmas holiday in the sunny Australia. I must say, Australia is a fantastic country, and Sydney is a great city. That’s where I started my holiday, in Sydney, mainly for sight seeing and shopping really, and there’s lots of both. I visited the Sydney Opera House, fortunately, I didn’t see an Opera. I also climbed up the Sydney Harbour Bridge, legally of course. You get strapped on with what is basically a ball and chain in a jump suit, and then you have to start the rather long journey up several ladders and many many…

I discovered this awesome WordPress plugin yesterday called Keyword Luv. Basically what it does is it allows you as a reader to get a link to your website with the keywords of your choice. It works like this: YourName@YourKeywords Example: Dave@Wacky Views Then once you fill out your comment you will receive a Do-follow link back to your website with the keywords that you entered, brilliant! Just remember, all comments written should be meaningful and not “fake” otherwise they will be deleted.
