Holy shit! Grand Theft Auto V rocks! I haven't been so obsessed with a game for years. I can't remember the last time I played a game and didn't get the tiniest bit bored after just a few hours. Not with GTA V! I've been totally absorbed by it all day.

The machine gun nest of the German base perimeter has just been destroyed by a artillery barrage, send plumes of dirt high into the air. My troops and tanks scurry past and surge into the enemy's encampment. Despite the thunderous sound of tank fire and the buzzing sound of sub machine guns, I lean back in my chair, smug like a General whose just won a battle and then found a ten pound note on the floor in the same second.

A challenge indeed. I don’t know what disappointed me more, the endless wait for this title, or the game itself when it arrived. The release coincided with the recent British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, a time when the world was in the midst of rugby fever.

I never appreciated how awesome clouds are. From the ground the shapes can make faces, giraffes or Star Destroyers having intimate relations with a Snail. They are fluffy and innocent, rolling along in a nonchalant way making you feel like there are no troubles in the world. Of course, when you have a BF 109 or P-47 screaming down from those clouds with all guns blazing, the clouds suddenly seem very very evil.

I'm lying on the ground in a wooded area with the sun shining through the colourful trees and plants as they sway gently in the tropical breeze. To my left is a car that I parked up a few minutes ago while I went foraging for herbal supplies. While the trees and plants were swaying gently my arm was thrashing violently. Why? Because it had a leopard attached to it.

Graphics have come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years, with designers having the ability to make their games characters look almost lifelike. However one game, with its basic, blocky and pixelated graphics holds a place in my heart. Markus ‘Notch’ Persson’s brain child, Minecraft. Some may say it is outdated and childish, but I think it is unique, charming and almost iconic in the way it is instantly recognisable all around the world.

So, you have to be online to load the game and all your saved cities are stored on the servers. In this day and age where your phone has better internet then the majority of households did 5 years ago, it’s not such a big deal. That is until some incredibly dumb person in EA’s accountancy department decided that money was more important than whether or not the game works. SimCity launched initially in the USA on Tuesday 6th March. I was a disaster.

Treyarch have done it again! The 9th Call of Duty has finally been released and I for one practically wrestled it off the postman the day it was delivered. The question is though, will Call of Duty; Black Ops II live up the standards of not only its’ eight predecessors, but the standards of its rival competitors such as Halo: Combat Evolved and Battlefield 3? I am a self-confessed PlayStation gamer so I bought Call of Duty: Black Ops II for PS3.
