BROTHERLY LOVE

Having been a proud owner of a PlayStation 3 for the past few months and using the machine primarily as a dedicated blu-ray player, my brother in-law has tempted me into the console's gaming possibilities by lending me DARK SECTOR and UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE.

I currently only have three 'casual' titles for my PS3 (LITTLE BIG PLANET, CIVILIZATION REVOLUTIONS and BUZZ QUIZ TV) and I'm looking forward to giving the six axis controller a workout. In particular, I've heard nothing but positive things about UNCHARTED.

DVD INCOMING

For summer laughs I've ordered Frankie Boyle and Sean Lock stand-up DVDs from Amazon UK. I have exhausted my Lee Evans, Michael McIntyre, Jimmy Carr ones.

What contemporary stand-up comics do you rate? We really need the next Bill Hicks to come along.

ON YOUR FEET SOLDIER!

Having identified this title as one for me to watch from the earliest days of picking up my Wii, I've finally bitten the bullet (excuse the pun) and bought MEDAL OF HONOR: HEROES 2. I'm not expecting it to be the best game ever but fancied a bit of WW 2 FPS action having recently rekindled my interest in the shooter genre with the brilliant THE CONDUIT. I managed to bag it for a bargain on eBay to boot.

Let the Nazi killing begin!
