What a week this promises to be!

Long Weekend quote suggestions.

“Honey, I think I lost around Euros200 cash. What? What games? Oh these. These are old ones!”

“Yeah mum, the teacher did not give us any homework for next week.”

“I am sorry honey but it’s best not to go anywhere this long weekend. It will be so crowded.”

“I think we need to save the money for our proper summer holidays”

“Sorry mate I can’t come over today. I am baby sitting”

“Beach? No way, the water is still too cold.”

Best excuse of the week Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption (PS3, 360).

Also other good excuses are Alan Wake (360), Split/Second (PS3, 360, PC) and Prince of Persia (PS3, 360).

It arrived. Collector’s edition, Limited. Currently reading the Clay Steward files with soundtrack playing in the background, one for the car me thinks. 5o pages in and the story’s got me, although, it’s hard to keep concentrating with the game disc and bonus disc waiting in the box. Still, having already waited years for the game, an hour or so of atmospheric tunes and background story aren’t much of a further hardship.   Gotta love that artwork, some of the manuscript pages look a little slapdash but the overall aesthetic appeal of the package and contents are pleasing enough. 

They finally arrived. Euros 170 retail, but Monty acquired them for less. 7.1 surround sound (okay, okay I know that the 360 only does 5.1) but they’re the dog’s testes, the nuts, the business... ad infinitum.
