The last few weeks have been a blur in more aspects than one. Work is hectic, my second job is hectic and my gaming life is hectic.

Well, the last part I guess is my own fault. After all, it's my choice whether or not I pick up that controller.

Only thing is, for the last few days it feels like it's not my choice. I feel compelled to pick up that controller. Especially when the controller is guitar shaped!

I've been rocking out to Guitar Hero III for the past week or two and I have to say, I am hooked.  read more »

I am starting to notice a very worrying trend across South African retail stores.

Less and less stores are carrying Xbox 360 games on their shelves.

Over the last month, I've walked through a few stores and with a shock found out that they do not stock Xbox 360 games at all.

These include the following stores:

• Toys R Us
• Reggies
• Some other smaller vendors

I also see other stores like Incredible Connection and CNA dropping their supply of Xbox 360 games. Where once the games occupied three or four racks, they now occupy one.  read more »

I did it! My Xbox 360 is working again.

It was a late night (into early morning) last night, but it was worth it. When you first boot that sucker up and see the ugly Xbox logo spinning around, you almost want to cry.

Anyway, without getting too emotional, let me tell you the story.

I'm not going to go into too much detail here regarding the fix itself (although I will upload pictures of my Xbox in pieces at a later stage) as most of the detail and tutorial sites were laid out in my previous post.  read more »

Well, it finally happened.

My Xbox 360 has stopped functioning.

Or rather, it hasn't. I know it's confusing, but let me explain.  read more »

This will be a quick update.

There's been some great news (for me at least) from across the waters at the E3 Media and Business Summit currently taking place in sunny Los Angeles.  read more »

I just had my first real plate of solid food.

Nothing much, but yonks better than the ProNutro I've been living off for the past few days!

I was lucky enough to experience very little to no swelling at all, due to the fact that my surgeon recommended a good dose of laser-based physiotherapy not 20 minutes after the procedure. I can tell you with all honesty that it works really well.  read more »

All right, another game finished on the Xbox!

This time around, I finished Halo 3, the third (and some think final) in the series of Halo games developed by Bungie Studios.

It took me quite a while though, but one thing I can say about Halo, is that this is really a game where the story is epic. There is no other description for it.

Everything you do feels bigger, better, more refined than both the Halo games before it.  read more »
