This is a blog about gaming and Trophies and as title suggests! I will probably include a lot of my personal opinions and some news from others sources!
I will try to stick to the topic but if i go off topic... well you know happens!
Hey guys, some of the oldest members will remember that this blog was in-fact called "Trophies and Gaming" blog as i was going to post some stuff that was interesting to me and also keep a log showing info on the trophies I get etc.
sorry for the short Blog i just got loads of exams coming next week so please dont expect to many posts but after that expect many posts! I shall make this up to you guys thank you for all the support!
Do you guys think this blog will still be interesting even if it was about Trophies?
New footage has been release of a co-operative game time that will be available in Fear 3, While not a big fan of a franchise and being completely honest I have never played a game the new footage seems intriguing.
Being a fan of good Co-Op experiences I enjoyed playing many MMO's and Nazi zombies yet this seems to take it to another level, personally I see two possible outcomes coming from this.
Outcome 1:
This is my preferred outcome, the game mode "F*cking Run!" will be F*cking amazing! I see this putting a lot of tension and genuinely being a very good game mode
Outcome 2:
This is unfortunately the most probable outcome, and that is that everybody will get the one idiot who doesn't know what a controller is and will eat his dinner while attempting to do his homework and play the game who will just run into the wall and guess what? Game over for everyone.
I am looking forward to further developments on this game, so in comments bellow post an Opinion of how do you think this particular game mode will work out.

P.S. this is more for my followers thank you so far for staying loyal and i understand i have been releasing less content but as soon as the exams are over i promise to knuckled down on this and provide good content for all of you guys. Thank you.
The people that actually follow have probably read my post about how PSN got hacked so without repeating myself too much I'm going to summarise it:
People got into the system in the 17th, Sony found out on 20th and Shut down their servers completely.
Now with that said and PSN being down for around half a month now you would think SONY would learn by now... Wouldn't you?
Yet apparently they didn't and a new attack has been carried out setting back further the release of a security update, more Importantly another 25 million personal details have been lost!
Simple Maths 77+25=102. Over 102 MILLION accounts have been compromised with two attacks, now being a huge PS3 fan this put me off by miles, If an attack happens you make sure another one doesn't happen again, yet Sony seemed to have failed in that respect.
Before I had some slight hope in Sony which I am starting to lose...
Sorry for the post being so late, and as usual guys answer the weekly question and Follow me for more gaming blogs.
As all of you gaming people are probably aware "Playstation Network" has been down for around 11 days as it got shut off on April 20th, with many things creating problems for Sony, Like hackers!
In the meeting this morning president of the company Kaz Hirai has apologised for Playstation Networks performance and said "This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry. These illegal attacks obviously highlight the widespread problem with cyber security," this message seems to be very warming to some, soon you will be able to pile those head shots up yet again and not have to deal with the single player!
When the Network does finally come back online there is an update that Sony have issued which also forces you to change your PSN password either through the console which you registered your PSN at or through email to which it is registered.
Another point Sony seemingly was already "undergoing" a server security update before the hack, it's up to you to believe this, but its like saying we were going to install fireproof curtains a week after the fire was set.
On the Bright side of all of this PSN will be issuing some "compensation" for this as a lot of content on the PSN will be going for FREE, yes I've said that magic word again for FREE! All gamers love that word and I am one of them, so than What is Sony going to Include in their gift package with roses?
Sony said:
Playstation Network+ (PSN+) Shall be made available for everyone for 30 days for free and for existing members 30 free days of use will be given.
Numerous items on the store will be made Free to download (to fill the void in your heart from not being able to go online for around 20 days!)
Well so far so good, but WAIT! YOU'RE SAYING WE GET PSN+ FOR 30 DAYS!?
Last time I checked PSN+ allowed you to download games with discounts as well as free demo's and beta's and even a set of Free games every month!
But, As soon as a subscription runs out so does your access to those games meaning you can only play them for 30 days?! Call me stupid, but none of the News sites seemed to have picked up on this as this gesture of "kindness" seems to me no more than a marketing move to get the PSN+ more subscribers...
SONY IF YOU'RE READING THIS! I WOULD BUY PSN+ IF ONLY IT HAD CROSS GAME CHAT!
Well I think that's 'nuff said.

Well firstly there is an easy answer to that question - Buy the version for which you own the console! I know it's obvious but if you buy Xbox 360 version for the PS3 it simply won't run.
A truly awesome game.
But here's a problem, what if you're one of those gamers that has both consoles and isn't too sure? Well basically there is a simple answer to that, buy the PS3 version, not because I am a fan of the PS3 and certainly not because I said so! Well lets see what does each version have:
PC version - The "hardcore version" I say it is but it really isn't original Portal came out on, all of those gamers that might simply get this game to remember your good days in PC gaming because even original Portal is still an Amazing game! A little side note:its good to check if your PC has the specs to run this a good website for this is - http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ So check it out if you're interested.
Xbox 360 Version - This version is just the console version of PC game, due to the good graphics engine on Portal 2 the game shouldn't be buggy or jumpy so this version is just a good standard version of the game which if you don't have a PS3 I recommend to get!
PlayStation 3 Version - Why is this version so good? Well let me tell you this version is crème de la crème in gaming especially for the fans. If you have an Xbox and have an Old PS3 laying around I honestly do recommend getting this Version!
Anyway to the point thereason why I am encouraging you guys to get this version is because with the PS3 version of the game you get a Free Version of the Game on PC through Steam! How awesome is that?! So you basically get two games for price of one, I mean I know you're still buying the game and its the same game but hey we're gamers we don't complain about free stuff and we leap on an opportunity of it!
So let's say we have this scenario, I have an Xbox which I play on most because my friends do, but I do have a brother with a PS3 or you own one yourself and use it as a Blu-ray player? Oh and also own a good PC than can run this... (I mean I know I'm pushing this, Personally I only own the PS3 and an ok PC...) You buy the game on PS3, you register it with Steam with your free voucher code and than BAM you can trade it in the next day and get 90-95% of your money back yet you still own a version on PC forever which you can play, what does this result in? Portal 2 for PC for a fiver. (I am in NO WAY encouraging this and if you do this you do this at YOUR OWN ACCORD, I am just playing out a scenario here! No hatin'!)
The Only reason the PS3 version is at a Drawback at the moment is because PSN is STILL DOWN! But on the bright side you can play Online again on Sunday when a HUGE update is arriving for the PS3, but I say the single player campaign is long enough to keep you entertained for a day or two and than it's off for one of the funnest Co-ops made!
