The iPad has just been released in the UK and have been debatting whether be worth  getting one or not, in the end though I gave into temptation and deceided that I do need one.

Really like using the device it is awesome, the display is perfect and whatever using it for  looks very good.

My home page of the apps will mainly be using, alot of them are from my iPhone so do not fill the full screen but sure in time they will be updated, or an Ipad version will be released

AirVideo is awesome and worth paying for, it allows you to playback video content what is on you computer,.

BBC Iplayer works very well , watched Saturdays doctor who episode last night and was impressed with the quality and how quick it was to buffer.

Browsing the web is pretty good as well , sites are easily viewable and to navigate around, pages load up fast, able to make forum posts easily.

Don’t have many full iPad games atm , We Rule, GodFinger and Aurora Feint 3 are the only ones played so far, though as a big Geomtry Wars fan and no longer own a XBOX to play it on I am downloading that

Any must have apps to download, interested in any really as long as not overpriced

Have been playing COD MW2 alot more recently one of the reasons being that three of my work mates have started to play it and with the new map pack out has become alot more fun to play again. Managed to reach prestige finally the double XP helped alot but needed to do the final three levels without the double XP help.

Best game played recently finally got more than 50 kills in a game.

Made a video of all my challenges and accolades so hopefully will be better for when I reach prestige again, glad i finally managed to get more kills than deaths.

Splinter Cell Conviction is the big Xbox 360, Pc exclusive title ( for the time being) to grab my interest into stop playing my PS3 , Having not played any of the previous SP games was a bit skeptical into getting the game , but with all the hype and footage  I had seen I couldn’t think of why I should’t be getting the game.

So far very happy that I did purchase the game, The  game does not focus on stealth witch is a big help as I suck at stealth games. Just got the cool goggles and now having to dodge laser beams which I seem to be failing at.

The campaign seems very short and easy even on Realistic dificulty but sure the co-op story and modes will increase the replay value of the game.

So MS has only managed to rob me of my money twice this year, Mass Effect 2 being the first game, and probably won’t see my money again until next April for Gears of War  3

Picked up Final Fantasy 13 on Tuesday after work finally after the long wait for this game to come out

The wait was worth it , not progressed to far into the game but so far I am loving it, Lighting is an awesome character and the graphics are amazing, hoping will be able to complete this before next Friday (GOW3)

Few changes to the game but not good at explainng so will upload a video soon so can see

Just started chapter 4 so not far into the game yet but already loving it

Completed this PS3 exclusive the other day and was very impressed with the title Watch the videos to see clips of the game and my comments about it .

Part 1

Part 2

Picked up BioShock 2 after finished work, was a fan of the original game so was looking forward to playing this to see what the difference between the two are.

The opening scene was awesome and has been fun to play so far, seems a lot more bloody and violent but that is a good thing, don’t seem to be creeped out as much as the original but that might be as I am a bit older now

Difficulty does not seem to be hard at the moment (yes i am playing on Hard) remember playing the original and having trouble with the big daddies, first one I encountered beat him fine with nice combo of electricity and water
The story is what will make me want to finish this game quickly as I dont won’t to read any spoilers posted online (facebook/ twitter)

As it is early morning UK time and should be sleeping as got work at 9 I have stoped playing for the night but will continue when get back from work.

Did play couple games of the Multiplayer though and have to say it 100 times better than I thought it would be, connection seems fine, and battles are fun , played a couple of free for all games and did pretty well Recorded video which is uploading at the moment but will be couple hours till it is uploaded and processed into HD

Recommend picking up this game ASAP as you won’t be disappointed. will post a review if do manage to complete it tomorrow night
