Included in the video is news of more than 70 tracks included in GT5which does not include variations of tracks which means a hell of a lot of track :) . Check it out.

Smoking is bad for your PS3

We all know smoking is bad for our health and if you smoke yourself you should quit cause it will kill you. But what’s more important is if you smoke around your PS3 it will kill that too (OH NO!)

Ive had my PS3 for about 4 years now and while I’m currently using my PS3 Slim (purchased last year) my original PS3 is still work and this is while certain friends i know have gone through 2 or 3 PS3′s and one of them has even gone through 6 of them. So why does this happen to some people more than others? Well, Don’t you think it’s a coincidence that the only people I know who have had either the Yellow Light Of Death or just straight up had their PS3′s conk out on them ALL! smoke while playing PS3.

I have to admit my original PS3 did start to over heat a little due to dust getting sucked in through the cooling fan and all it required was me to vacuum all the PS3 vents about once a month and that kept it from getting too hot where the loud fan would kick in. So we know the PS3 gets pretty hot and a high powered fan is needed to stop it from over heating, but think of what damage your doing to it if your cigarette or weed smoke (weed smoke is the worst as it clogs things up a lot more) all that nicotine and smoke gets sucked into your PS3 and clings on to it’s insides causing it to heat up and eventually it will heat up to much and cause serious damage.

I guess if your PS3′s warranty has run out and if you’re up to it, you might be able to open it up, clean it and replace the broken parts but at the end of the day you just shouldn’t smoke around your PS3.

Want to quit smoking? Here’s my advice.

I used to smoke and I managed to give up a few years ago. One of the things that helped me get though it was nicotine chewing gum. It gave me a nicotine supply without smoking and also made me realise how NASTY! nicotine is. If you chew the gum too much it makes you throw up but you need nicotine if your used to smoking cause you’re addicted to it. Try it.

Also while I was in the process of quitting, about 3 or 4 months in. someone gave me some helpfull advice. When you feel your self reaching for that cigarette, just think to your self “is it really worth giving up all those months of quitting for a few minutes of enjoyment” I think you will find the answer is no.

Quit smoking smokers it’s bad for your health and more importantly your PlayStation 3.

You ready to Move?

With only weeks to go until the Move is released I’am getting more and more excited about the plethora or great games coming our way this winter. Which brings me to my next point. It’s about to get pretty expensive so if you want to try the Move don’t forget you if you already have an EyeToy all you need is 1 motion controller and should you need a sub controller you can just use your dual shock.

I originally was only going to buy 2 motion controllers and not bother with the sub controller (which you can read about here)but it seems my financial situation has now changed a little so I have ordered the sub aswell. :)

On another note if you like me are waiting for the release of the Move I thought you might like to watch this video which shows some of the possibilities of what the Move could be used for if future game dev’s use Anton’s tech demo’s.

Also if you are buying the Move may i recommend Sports Champions. It will be released on day 1 of the Move and as i have already experienced it at the Beta event i highly recommend it as a first buy.

And if you want the EyeToy, Motion controller and Sports champions you can get them all here for $99

F1 2010 (PS3)

For those of you who know me will know I’am in painful agony waiting for the release of the GOTD (Game Of The Decade) GT5 and so anyone who releases a racing game prior to November 5th is probably going to include me as a customer and as great as F1 2010 looks and sounds I just don’t think ill be Pre-Ordering this one. Yes I’m dying for a good racing game and the last month waiting for GT5 is going to be absolute hell for me but F1 games of past have never really amounted to much.

An F1 game gets release and I buy it. I play it for a few weeks and I find it just boring and unrealistic. Even with all the new features the CodeMasters have added to this title like the ability to give interviews and talking to your fans after a race I’m still not sure about this title. It does have great potential and the replays do look amazing. It also seems to have great weather systems as well but this is going to be one title I’m going to watch after release and try to buy 2nd hand to save a little money.

It’s going to be a very expensive winter for us gamers.

Don’t get me wrong the game looks great and I’m sure a lot of people will enjoy it but I just find every F1 game I bought in the past all seem the same with the only difference being the year on the game cover. As this is the first F1 build on the PS3 by the Codies they have yet to prove themselves with this style of racing, Yes Dirt 2 (also by CodeMasters) was a great game and i enjoy’d playing it thoroughly but I have reservations when it comes to another F1 title. I hope they pull it off as the gaming industry needs a great F1 title and so far the only F1 game I have enjoy’d to date is the Gran Turismo series which may I add only includes just a small hand full of F1 cars but boy they handle great, and they’re bloody quick (yup, there’s me going on about the GT series for a change :) )

With all that said it does look pretty dam impressive with the army of new features CM have added to the game and with all the detail they have put into the weather and tracks its going to be pretty hard for me to not pre-order.

Good luck CodeMasters I hope you surprise me with a great game.

At the end of the day if the game is good then you won’t be able to find it cheap 2nd hand anywhere and end up buying it brand new at full price.
