Sega Rock!

My first blog entry in a little while and I seem to have turned into UKR!

Well, I was taking a break but cutting myself off from BXB has been almost impossible due to the fact that I have spent so much time and commited so much to the site over the last few years that me just not being there is literally an impossible feat to achieve.

I've been keeping myself busy by watching the World Cup, reading a few books, enjoying the sun and continuing to work my arse off for Mr Tesco. As I am still acting as a reviewer on BXB, I recently got my hands on Chromehounds from Sega.

Now, it seems that Sega sent out early retail code on a silver so we could all meet up for a game on Live to show the multiplayer aspects of the title. Sadly, it was too short notice for me and I couldn't make it.

However, this meant that I got the game over a week before release allowing me to play, review the game and post that review up on BXB before the release of the title this Friday.

I'd like to salute Sega for making the effort to get their code out early. They've secured themselves a great review and a thread full of discussion and enthusiasm on BXB after a demo that left a lot of people feeling pretty unhappy about the game.

You can see from my review that I feel the game does lack that certain something but overall I love it. Mechs, guns, explosions and other manly stuff just makes me happy.

Anyway, I'm struggling to not get involved in BXB again, although, I will admit that I have enjoyed the couple of weeks off.
