Ever since Grand Theft Auto first came out back in 1997 (god that was ages ago!) I have always said to myself, and others, that nothing would beat it, that it is a unique game that would be on our console systems for years to come. I was right about one thing – it has been on our console systems for years and has just sold over 10 million copies of GTA IV worldwide. But now I am asking myself – is it still the best, or has something better come along to challenge it?
There are many websites that provide you with the chance to play games online for free. Not only are the modern games available, but also the rare and hard to find ones that the younger generation is probably not even familiar with. These games are the so-called NES games from the old and first original Nintendo consoles. These once revolutionary games you now play NES games free online. This is a fun thing to do and will probably bring back many good memories. You can also play games online for free with friends or
family and it is something even children will enjoy. The best way to play NES games free is by first finding a site that has the widest selection available.
It is easy to search for free gaming sites and you can check several out before sticking to one or another. Some offer different games than others, so you might have to switch between couples of sites to find all of the old NES favorites.
The highly anticipated ‘Lips’ for the XBOX360 is due to be released in the UK on 21st November 2008. This is an exclusive for the Xbox360, so if you like to think that your singing in the car, or the shower, or even on the toilet is pretty good, then you want to pick yourself up a copy of this when it comes out.
‘Lips’ is to be the only purely singing game and it will come with two wireless microphones so you can dance and sing in your living room, without having to worry about tripping over any wires. Xbox360 controllers can be used to play percusssion also. If that isn’t tempting you to buy this game, then how about if I tease you with the opportunity to sing along to your own songs from your MP3 player! Yes, that’s correct! Upload your own music and sing along to it.
If you’re heading down to London for the London Games Fringe and have a DS it ’s worth taking it with you to the event.
As well as the GRL GMR Tournament, London’s first girl gamers event, DS: London will also be taking part in the London Games Fringe Festival. DS: London are attempting to break the world record (currently 381) of number of DS players in a room.
If you’re interested in the event it will be held on the 25th of October and will start at 4pm. For more information visit this post.
Hey girls,
So, the GirlGamers forums moved over to GamerStyle to make the forums more universal. At the moment, there’s a seperate GirlGamers forum on GamerStyle and you also get to be part of that community.
But I’m wondering, do you girls want your own GirlGamers forum instead of being linked with GamerStyle?
This is my first review on here, so I hope you girls enjoy it. Please feel free to let me know what you think of my review. I’ll try and review as many games as possible, but I thought I’d start with a favourite of mine.
Abit of History on Tomb Raider
(For those of you unfamiliar)
The very first release of Tomb Raider was back in 1996 where we see the fictional British character, Lara Croft, on a hunt for artifacts and other historic items in places such as Egypt and Peru. Six of the Tomb Raider games were developed by ‘Core Design’, but the last two Tomb Raider games were developed by ‘Crystal Dynamics’. Lara Croft is probably one of, if not THE, most recognised video game character of all time.
I’ve found an interesting gaming event for female gamers.
As part of the annual ‘London Games Fringe’, a week long gaming event, the London Metropolitan University is hosting a day exclusively aimed at girl gamers to kick start the event.
During the day, there will be 5 different games to play; Wii Tennis, Tekken, Unreal Tournament, Kuri Kuri Mix and Mario Kart.
There will be five winners at the end of the tournament for each game, but there will only be ONE overall champion.
This is the first girl gaming tournament in London, as part of the London Games Fringe.
If you’re interested, then sign up at GRL GMR Tournament but hurry as there are limited places available. The event is free and family and friends are more than welcome to come with you.
Hope this may be of interest to anyone?

Okay, so last weekend I FINALLY got up to major grade 2.
Moments later
I jumped with joy and humped the air like some horny teenaged loser. I called my husband and told him I finally did it, and then played for 5 hours straight after that.
Two days later
I downloaded the new patch with the new achievements and was totally excited. I then got online and noticed that my rank was gone, I looked at my service record and saw that it was still there before I started pulling my hair out.
I then played lone wolves and saw that people who were lower ranks than me now had higher ranks. I wondered to myself wtf this was.I looked at Bungie.net…they told me it was this new “True Skill”
Soooo I thought to myself….”So now everyone is on an even playing field”…so this entire year of Halo I have been playing, dreaming to get to major grade 2 means nothing now?
So I know this is a stupid thing to get mad about, but I sat around for about 3 hours being pissed about this.
Am I the only one who is totally mad about this? Am I just being a weirdo?
this weekend was the biggest national holiday in Korea, Shushok (not sure how its spelt), a time where people hit the road in the millions to go home and pay their respects to there family.
Korea is pretty closed during that time as everyone is going home so i had left to go to seoul for several days ending on sunday (the main day of shu-thingo). took a flight from the small airport here and had a pretty bumpy ride, i dont mind it but the guy near me was in panic mode.
this time was at a hotel in the business district, so some pretty average food type places around… however hotel made some good pizza so i was happy, although a little sick from going overboard on the pizza.
2nd day there spent the entire day in the electronic district, pretty damn awesome place… i think by the end of the day i only was in one of the big buildings but so much there, floors each with different catagory of gadgets and things. so easy to spend ages if your a GG. price was pretty good because of all the different shops of the same type right next to eachother. but they all see pretty happy to help eachother too as with a few different stores i needed something they didnt have so they went to another shop to pick it up for me.
tv dvx box with 500gig hdd, upgrade for mini laptop, portable dvd burner, portable HDD and a sony media player later and i was done for the day.
subway is nuts by the way, easy to get lost and english isnt a really big thing in some parts of korea so gotta make sure you have a map and a plan.
day 3 was spending a day in the shopping areaishy thing, streets of people and mainly clothes and resturaunts but lots and another place to spend a day.
day 4 was day of everything being closed but went for a walk in a big tome/park area just behind the hotel, beautiful and luckly open. funny seeing a park surrounded by huge buildings… really not many parks in seoul.
another pizza later and off to the airport to go back to SaCheon.
exhausted after all the walking, so today and im pretty sure tomorrow too, ima going to be resting.
hope everyone is doing well and peace out from South Korea for another week!
sorry no pics this week, will add some when i can.
