Recollection of 2008 - The SportsYesterday

I’m a big fan of sports, Football, F1, Tennis and Athletics are my main points of interest. 2008 saw a lot happening within sports in general not forgetting the little event taking place in Beijing called The Olympics. Whilst the Great Britain team saw the most successful medal haul in their history most were achieved in events I personally don’t have any interest in. For me the Olympics is all about the Men’s 100 Metres, 200 Metres and 4×1 100 Metres relay events, as these were the ones I took part in school, they hold a special interest.

Usain Bolt and Jamaica

Usain Bolt 100 Metres WR

There is only one thing to say about these 3 events Usain Bolt and Jamaica, they obliterated the competition and took Gold in all 3 with Bolt responsible for setting 3 World Records, one of which is beyond imagination (9.69 in the 100 Metres event) and taking home 3 Gold Medals in the process. Whilst the 4×1 100 Metres relay was going to the Jamaican team anyway, the only factor that could stop them would be down to how smooth the exchanges between the runners would be. The main shock and a wonderful performance was from the main man Usain Bolt, who cruised to a World Record 100 Metres win and also broke Michael Johnson’s long stan

I rarely post negative stuff on Twitter, but I didn’t think I posted that many happy tweets either:

Ridiculously Happy?

Recollection of 2008 - The GamesDecember 28 2008

This year has seen in all honesty some really good games released, unfortunately I don’t want (force myself not to) to be playing games for long periods, I just don’t have the time to hunker down and get some gaming on! I’ve got an Xbox 360 but that’s usually occupied by my brother leaving my PS2 and PC to handle the brunt of not playing games on them. Saying that I still had some time to sample some gaming this year, some more than others. So in this part of Recollection of 2008 I’ll look at what were the games I played this year:

Burnout Paradise

I’m a big fan of racing games, as I don’t have a drivers license (which probably is a good thing for society) I have to get my kicks in games and not on the street like most other licensed/unlicensed boy racers, besides it all looks so much better in games anyway, oh and you don’t get to die if you crash!

Usually my game of choice would be Need for Speed, but with the release of Pro Street , it’s put me right off, so I decided to see what else was out there; one was Burnout and the other Midnight Club. Burnout Paradise is for adrenaline speed junkies who want to be reckless whilst driving around insanely fast. It’s perfect for those that want to grab the controller and get going ASAP! The graphics are awesome (as should be expected from any modern console) and the game is exactly what it says on the box. The choice of cars are limited (it’s no Gran Turismo or Project Gotham) but the gameplay makes up for the lack of choice. I do like the open world cruising looking for races, but saying that the area is pretty small and very distracting. Overall it’s a good quick game for those wanting to get some speed racing in quickly. It’s more casual gaming than Gran Turismo or Project Gotham.

Midnight Club LA

There’s no doubt there’s one thing I like apart from watching and talking about football - that’s playing it - and Pro Evolution Soccer is my choice of game period! I tried to move over to the dark side of things and that didn’t go too well, the less about that the better! Pro Evo (or PES to it’s fans) brings realism beyond any other football game to your hands. It varies between different platforms and previous to Pro Evo 2009 I was playing it on the PS2 - mainly because this had the best realistic version, the graphics may have been better on the Xbox 360 and PS3 but the gameplay was nowhere near as good.

When Pro Evo 2009 was released there was a change on emphasis - the PS2 was more or less discarded and effort was put more on the next gen consoles. The Xbox and PS3 versions were so much more superior to the PS2 version it wasn’t worth playing. But ever since I’ve loaded it on my PC the Xbox and PS3 versions have been left playing by themselves. The gameplay and graphics (Graphics Card dependent) are so much better and realistic on the PC it makes the next gen consoles look last gen. The realism and dynamics of the movement of the players and AI are far beyond the Xbox and PS3’s. It’s the ONLY football game to be played.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Recollection of 2008 - The MoviesDecember 25 2008

In this part of my Recollection of 2008 I’ll be going through the movies I’ve seen in 2008. Now remembering from the top of my head I can remember some really good ones and some really bad ones, when I mean bad I mean BAD - epic! Straight away X-Files: I want to believe and The Promotion come to mind, more on this later. There have also been some really great movies, some which I didn’t expect to be any good. The Dark Night, Ironman and Wall-E are the main three that left an impression.

Now my memory isn’t the best when it comes to remembering general things, specific things I can remember in vivid details so luckily for me I have yet another service which has kept my records of which movies I have watched in 2008 and how I rate them - Flixster! I like Flixster because I’ve got it added on my Facebook profile and I can quickly review a movie I’ve just watched and check my Facebook at the same time.

So what does Flixster say about the movies I’ve watched in 2008? I’m going to choose 3 of the worst and best to keep it short(ish).

Let’s start off with the bad

X-Files: I want to believe (1.5 / 5)
