Review: Company of Heroes

Well Relic have done it again!

Dawn of War was good, Oh Yes! - but Company of Heroes is better.

A game that I was a little apprehensive about, don't know why probably felt a little precious about DoW, but I shouldn't have been.

The graphic are nothing short of excellent. 9/10, definitely.

The Sound, again again excellent. 8/10

Immersiveness = wow! 8/10


I got this game December, 23rd and so far done about 7 or 8 missions, each one gets better and better. The game play is very addictive, requiring tactics and cunning on every map.

On a side note, something that did strike me was, once installed you don't need the dvd to play the game. Handy.

Highly recommend this as a purchase, Amazon clicky

Back to the game. Coming next a review of Star Wars: Empire at War.

Stay safe and game lots!

Moving Home

Hi all,

Wow what a few weeks.

I've moved home and now come the spending times! Damn it blows!

I know this is a completely silly idea and would never happen but wouldn't be nice if previous owners of houses were responsible for inbuilt facilities (plumbing, oven, hob, radiators, etc) for several months after a purchase. Let me tell you why, we move in and here's the list of stuff gone wrong or needed action:

• New locks, previous owner left us 1 key...(plus didn't want her coming back!)
• New Fridge
• New Washing machine
• New Oven
• Boiler system (probably pump) is screwed, radiators don't work
• Soon to be new windows, as no keys were left from them and most of them don't open properly or look rotten! :(
  

The new people get landed with huge costs in one month! especially painful because we're first time buyers. I can completely understand now why moving home is the most stressful time in a persons life.

Now I'm officially skint, it's Christmas! - talk about salt in the wounds.

That aside, my wife and I live close to what we consider to be our best friends and their wonderful family who have helped at the drop of a hat....thank you!, on top of that after all these new/services facilities we will be worry free and guarantee in hand for a few years.

Onward and, well one can go upward!

Stay safe
