Battlefield2 1.5 patch download
I love Battlefield2, but I’ve not played it in a long time. It’s a great game and really rewards teamplay. Some people find it buggy, but I’ve never had any problems, until now that is.

Burnout paradise save game download
Having played Burnout on the xbox a long time ago, I really wanted to be able to play it again, I thought that Burnout 3 just couldn’t be beaten, it was slick, fast paced, sometimes annoying, but the crashes that you could construct (or destruct) were amazing to watch, I often spent hours playing with friends so that we could create some amazing smashes, I’m pretty sure that my neighbours at the time didn’t appreciate the cheers coming from my living room once we’d achieve the targets!

Grand Theft Auto performance issues
If, like me, you experienced issues with rockstar’s latest release of their game Grand Theft Auto IV (if, you haven’t you can get it here from amazon, £24.99), you may have noticed that it probably doesn’t run all that hot on your machine (if it’s not at least dual core). First thing I would normally have done is tweak with the settings a little bit, but you might find that if you can play games like crisis, you would have thought that you’d be able to play GTAIV at a reasonable level of detail. It turns out that perhaps the settings levels allow for just too much detail to be rendered on-screen, making the game perform poorly on less powerful systems. In this case, I would suggest move the sliders all the way to the left (down to 1) and then try the game again.

Race Driver: GRID – save game download
UPDATE: Noticed that when my website was moved the URL to the save game download stopped working, ’tis fixed now!
So, played Codemasters Race Driver: GRID and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting too much, having played previous versions on the xbox, they were no GT beater. I was however quite impressed when I started to play this game, it’s very slick! There is a real nice polished feel to everything in the game from the soothing menu music to the very simple menu interface. The visuals in the game are perhaps some of the best that I’ve ever come across in a codemasters game, of course to get the best, you’ll need a decent graphics card. After playing my way through the game, I was always taken back with the visual quality, often watching the replays to see the car from every angle, much like I did with GT, though the replays on GRID seem so much more realistic with the camera wobble and everything.

New Toy: o2 xda IIs
It’s a cool wee gadget, I’ve highly recommend getting one. Only thing is, it doesn’t come with much software, so download some before you buy it. not only does it have a full screen, but it’s got a keyboard, bluetooth and built in wireless etc. fantastic with the wireless broadband that you’d have at home! Connect it to your pc and you can view your files over the network! You can even use windows media server to stream the content of nearly any windows to the device from your main pc. Magic.
Milestones
It’s been a while since I updated some of this stuff, but a few things have happened. Firstly, my car, has just reached 160,000 miles, and it’s still going strong, hasn’t missed a beat since I got brand new in 2000. A Peugeot 106 Zest 3 Diesel (1.5D), sadly they don’t make them anymore, but I can vouch for their build quality and robustness, and general fuel efficiency. Of course, I can talk, I do 24,000 approx miles a year on a motorway, what would I know about driving? While we’re on the subject, I had to change the last remaining original tyre on the car (a rear one), a Michelin one, which has stuck with me for the whole 160,000 mile journey, it’s true! I told the guy who changed it that it had done 160,000 miles, I don’t think he believed me…
