Welcome to May, where Spring is going strong, and summer is just around the corner. More importantly than that, GTA IV has been released! The game we have been waiting for since the 360s launch pretty much, is here - and it's goooooood!! Anyway, that's enough of that. This guy has been around for a while now, and always seems to be sticking his nose in here or there. He recently just volunteered to start fending off the loads of PMs the staff get daily, so don't forget to send him any questions you have.... as well as friend requests on Live! Let me introduce......
Lets start by finding out a bit more about the man behind the GamerTag.
Well im 17 from the South East of London England. I am curently finishing at college and hoping to live the dream and study accounting at University (fun). I have always liked playing games since I was a kid and first got a Sega Megadrive and could beat my Dad and brother at most games. Now nearly whenever I am indoors my 360 is usually on. I like most sports mainly football (Big Palace fan) and MMA. I have used this site since it was set up and it continues to provide help today and i would like to thank everyone for all the help and hard work that goes into the site.
What is your gaming setup like?
At the moment my 360 is upstairs and my old TV that was in my room is getting repaired so im gaming on a 40" HD LCD. I also have a red gaming rocker chair that i got for Christmas and am yet to really use and currently is being used as a clothes rack.
What is your favorite game on the 360?
GTA IV by a landslide victory, the game has graphics, gameplay, story, longevity and a variety of online modes. Achievements are pretty good too, can you get a better game?
And the game that makes you scream?
So hard to choose....currently it would be either Euro 2008 or Call Of Duty 4. It has to go to Euro 2008 though just because of the amount of quitters you get online when your trying to win with a lower seeded team. Honourable mention to Call of Duty 4 because my friends are pretty good and play it online a lot and im not really any good.... gimme an energy sword and a plasma grenade any day.
What achievement are you most proud of?
I have all the agility orbs in Crackdown and i have the 10,000 kills achievement in Undertow...Im more proud of collection and longer achievements than I am of doing something that is quite hard, because im not really a patient person so for me to stick at something is good for me. I have a feeling I will be getting the 100% in GTA IV as well and i will be more proud of that.
Which achievement is the next on the hit list for you?
Anything in GTA really, I dont want the game to finish though so im doing the missions sparingly lol. I want to get the 1000 in this game so thats next on the hit list.
What was the last thing you downloaded from the Arcade?
That would be the Iron Man demo. I got a few messages of recommendation so I thought I would give it a try. I haven't downloaded anything before that in quite a long time.
Do you get games mainly for achievements, or for gameplay?
I really want to say gameplay and mainly it is but you may notice the 1000 in Fuzion Frenzy and Madden 06...I would say I buy games for gameplay and I borrow from friends and rent some games for achievements.
Is the 360 your only console currently? Do you have plans for any more?
No, I have a PS2 and 360 in my room and a Wii, Xbox and PS1 downstairs. I also have an Atari of some sort at my Nans somewhere...I have had a PS3 and some friends have PS3's and I have no intention of getting one. The console I will get next will be the next Xbox.
Whats the next game that you will be getting?
Really I dont know. GTA is going to keep me busy for a while and I still have EURO 2008 to finish. I might give Iron Man a rent though after the demo but by then there may be something better. The next game I am 100% sure to get is Saints Row 2.
And final comments….Real men use the Search button.
