The second World Cup tournament I played on Sensi Soccer 2006 with England I won. Having come second in the group (beat Serbia and Montegro, beat Togo lost 3-1 to Argentina) then faced Trinidad and Tobago in the second round. They were dispatched 1-0 to set up a Semi-final with Portugal. portugal had beat Brazil [...]
This game does actually play a little like the original. But I can’t help but feeling that a joypad is the wrong controller to be using for it. There’s nothing added in terms of new controls, it’s still fundamentally pass and shoot. So bearing in mind that I used to use a two button joystick [...]
Windows Live has had another face lift. I was wondering when the Windows Live brand would start top get some traction, namely from a visuals perspective. Since I rebuilt my desktop PC (a teeny Shuttle PC that’s now about 3 years old) with Vista Beta 2 on it I’ve taken a minimalistic approach and installed [...]
After fours months of (in game time) torment in Cyrodiil the threat of Mehyrunes Dagon is ended. In a climatic final battle Martin Septim transformed into a Avatar of Akatosh and defeated the daedric lord. Hadaster, a Dunmer monk (level 36 by the end), watched in awe as the Temple of the One in the [...]
Vista Beta 2 Ultimate turbo nutter edition comes with Media Center built in. So I thought I’d try it with the 360 to see what it gives me over the simple Media Extender I’ve been using with XP.
Well it doesn’t… work that is. Seems the latest beta of Vista, although downloaded from the UK locale [...]
Tactics. Sven has proven himself to have tactics. Sometimes some antics but mainly tactics. I think the Lennon / Rooney move was all about scare tactics and drawing people out. Rooney did get scythed down a few times and Lennon seemed to beat his man almost every time. The drawing out of the T&T defenders led [...]
Hewlett Packard actually. They now have a wonderful service offering called Halo which is quite frankly jaw droppingly good. “What is it?” you scream “And what’s it got to do with the Covenant?” Err… well nothing. It’s the best piece of Video Conferencing kit I’ve ever seen.
Fundamentally the concept it to recreate an actual meeting room. [...]
My first experience of the new Office suite came when I it was still called Office 12. My excitement was about the new user interface. I must admit I am a fan of how Microsoft approaches it’s UI more specifically in it’s applications than how Windows handles it per se. So now I come to [...]
I saw that Citroen have started running a new C4 advert where the car turns into a speed skating robot. Not quite a funky as the last commercial but impressive nonetheless.
And now transformerslive.com points to transformersmovie.com
So it appears the countdown is on to Indepedence Day 2007 when the movie will air. Not sure who the [...]
A tale of the referee, his linesmen and strange Italian style ‘protect the lead’ decisions. Who is David Beckham going to cross to when Peter Crouch is in the middle of the park winning the ball? England got the three points ‘hooray’, but the performance was decidedly scary in the second half. I suppose if one [...]
