Mr.Elderly is indisposed at present and I can confirm, still without a copy of this console gem. To cheer him up I put together this selection of Far Cry 3 Wallpaper as found on the wubternet.
Get well soon mr.Elderly
(Mr. Elderly has asked me to relay that rumours of his current state being directly related to the build up of bile having tried unsucessfully to obtain a copy of Far Cry 3 in his local retail stores........

Whilst salivating at the prospect of Santa's arrival, I decided to take a peak at some of the delights awaiting us for 2013 and came across this offering from Insomniac Games (creators of Ratchet & Clank and Resistance).
A reworking of the four-player co-op game once known as "Overstrike", published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and due March 2013.
What They say....
“a 4-person co-op action shooter that thrusts players into the roles of four elite, covert agents with their own unique skills and experimental weapons.”
“Fuse demonstrates what Insomniac does best: outlandish and gruesome weapons design, over-the-top action and a touch of humor."
"....story-driven, action game where even solo players can experience the unique attributes of each agent by using the game’s LEAP feature to switch between the four characters at will during combat."
Possessing as I do the online co-op prowess and team spirit of a slug, a 4 player co-op is enough to leave me cold, nay catatonic. But that "Leap" feature, which reportedly allows solo players to switch with any AI team character at will, a newly developed game engine and Insomniac's penchant for outlandish weaponry... well who knows, but this is defo going on my must investigate more list for 2013....

For Xbox 360 and Ps3, Persona 4: Arena is a narrative heavy, 2D fighting game follow up to the cult hit JRPG series, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona by Atlus. The game was released in the US on August 7th and a release in the EU.. when they get round to it.. is set for September 7th.
The Plot
Featuring characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4, the game focuses on a fighting tournament that takes place in an alternative reality, best described as the TV World. In Arena, Players are able to follow individual characters through story mode, or take the game online to wreak havoc with your fighting skills.
Reception
Famitsu, the best selling Japanese gaming magazine, with four separate reviewers, gave the game a score of 36/40 90%. Whilst Metacritic gave the Ps3 version a resounding 86% and the xbox 360 84%.
Trivia
The game has earned itself the rather embarassing accolade of being the first region locked game on PlayStation 3. The reason, according to those that know, is to prevent re-importation. Huh!? the game includes both a Japanese and an Engish audio and apparently Japanese players would have been able to import the Us version at a far lower price than sold in Japan.
Quote of the bunch:
"It weaves the majesty and imagination of one of the best role playing franchises of all-time into the snarling bravado of a one-on-one brawler so effortlessly, one wonders why it's never been done so well until now. -IGN
Reviews Summary A fantastically realized fighting game Easily stand out even in the crowded fighting game segment. Approachable, deep gameplay, staggeringly beautiful. If you're a JRPG or fighter fanatic with even a hint of interest in the other genre, P4A is an absolute must-buy. It has a robust story, an interesting system, a magnificent roster, and wonderful music An elaborate yet engrossing fighter that packs a ton of content suffers from a few design choices. Mastering the mechanics of this engine involves a lot of time and effort in the training room. These are fighters you can care about, and this is a fighting game everyone should play.
Alf the Helper: Mr. elderly, mr. elderly!..... there is no popcorn!! Elderly: No Alf there isn't.. Alf the Helper: But that means I won't have any popcorn ready for when the viewers arrive Elderly: You mean you won't have a chance to burn the popcorn again... Alf the Helper: oh ... yes, right... I see... :(
