My absence over the last couple days can be explained mainly by two words. Mario. Kart. That and it being my B-day. 28 years young

I was a MASSIVE fan of the origional (werent we all) and it's great that they've included a bunch of the old tracks from both the SNES version and the N64. Ghost Valley 2? Bowser's castle 3? mmmmmm good times

Assassins Creed: Pretty game- I've just been oooing and ahhhing and hopping about on things. Which is about as deep as the game gets- but its pretty. Some nice smoke and dust effects, soft edges and nice depth of field stuff too. The cities look amazing.
im not in deep enough to completely big it up but it seems engaging enough. The free-running element works great (you can literally hop onto or climb up anything- not limited to linear pre-defined areas). The control system was my only niggle, but once mastered is decent enough. It's more intuitive when mapped to a pad.

I'm still waiting on the main pressie I bought for myself- but it can be explained by this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MutvUfQcmMg

Looks like big big fun. Jumping 7 foot in the air and running at 25mph!

Let's hope I dont injure anything I need to play TF2!! I'm an ex-skater so good at falling over!

Aah. Assassins creed

I'd love a pair of those myself.

And

Oh yeah

mario kart and assains creed are fun (one more than the other on the long run i think) Happy birthday mate hope alls well

Powerisers or pro-jumps (http://www.projump.co.uk will 'only' set you back about £120 Spider. 7league boots http://www.7leagues.co.uk are around the £250 mark and are better quality so are my choice. If anyone was feeling flush Pro-skips and Velocity stilts go for between £400 and £700 a pop and are as bouncy as bouncy can be.

Also people say to go for a weight range 10kg above your actual weight for maximum boingyness and lastability.

Ill let you guys know if I'm somersaulting cars or falling flat on my face when they arrive next week

Happy birthday mate! (juju passes khola his joint)
Played a bit of the new mario kart at my sisters & as usual its bloody good, only thing is i now have to buy my woman a wii so she can play at home!
