Stuckgamer goes Ada Wong

Over the Hedge (game system to be announced)

The blurb about the game
"Over the Hedge" is the third computer animated title covered in Activisions new contractual agreement with Dreamworks. Based on the popular comic strip by Michael Fry and T Lewis, and directed by Tim Johnson ("Antz", "Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas"), "Over the Hedge" centers on a mischievous con-artist raccoon named R.J. and a timid turtle named Verne. When R.J., Verne and their woodland friends find a suburban housing development encroaching on their forest home, Verne's first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave. But the ever-opportunistic R.J. sees a treasure trove to be had from his unsuspecting new neighbors. Together, Verne and R.J. form an unlikely friendship as they learn to co-exist with--and even exploit--this strange new world called suburbia.

Set for release this April in Japan, the figurine above is a bonus for pre-ordering the title, so if it turns out a dud (which is doesn't seem likely from what little I can decipher) at least you have a plastic doll to show for it.

Draft give me a demo to play letter.
Dear (selected game company)
As an elderly gamer, I have come to the realisation that I'm much closer to kicking the bucket than many other people I know. As you can imagine this fact has created some degree of alarm. Alarm not at leaving this mortal coil, but the very real chance that i'll be dead before your fantastic game hits the market.
As my time grinds to it's inexorable end it has struck me that now would be a perfect opportunity for your game company to allow me the privilege to review your amazing new game (insert title). Just like the 232 other websites with a preview copy of (insert title) your upcoming undoubtedly exceptional product, I believe I have the necessary qualifications (eyes ears website, and a measurable pulse ) to give a valuable insight into your forthcoming undoubted smash hit. I await your reply with breathless anticipation (luckily I have been prescribed an inhaler). Yours truly
The elderly Gamer
ps. soon to be The elderly gamer RIP

What's he on about?
Earlier elderly post
Uninstalling FFXI beta from your 360 Hardrive Yikes!
In response to lost from the shoutbox (see sidebar) If you've gone through the labourious and painful 2 hour installation process, ended up running around with a question mark and no weapons for another 2 hours, attempted to chat up a female furry without the benefit of a usb keyboard, and soon realised she was a he.
You like me may have reached the end of your tether with FFXI beta. Well beleive me you haven't reached the end of your tether just yet. Try looking for the 4.5gb bundle on your hard drive, and you guessed it, you can't find it to delete it from you xbox360 dashboard. Amazing lack of foresight on behalf of Microsoft and the Official Xbox360 magazine team, not that the magazine had left me with any impression of brilliance.
Apparently the only way to delete this monster is with the installation disc. So for all that's precious in your gaming life, DO NOT! lose your installation disc. I've been reliably informed (but can't confirm as of yet) that you can uninstall from the playonline viewer. I'm going to give it a little more time before I press the panic button (to give the game a fair chance), but if the uninstall leaves so much as a feline hair on my hardrive someone is going to be hearing from an irate old man.
Of course if anybody has already achieved this feat please leave a comment below, in particular has the uninstall deleted all the content. I'll update this piece if I chose to uninstall and tell you all how it went.

Crimelife: Gang Wars (xbox, ps2) cheats, review

Why did I include it here? well to show the immense difference between hype and reality, here's one of the numerous postive press quotes issued prior to release:
Crime Life: Gang Wars is a free-roaming, crime-based beat-em-up with an engaging story that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The game focuses on the rites of passage of Tre, who must protect his own people from exploitation and abuse, and defend his crew from the violence and treachery that permeates the society he lives in. Incorporating traditional action-adventure with a morally driven storyline, you�ll find that there are consequences for all of your actions, good or bad. The Crime Life soundtrack features an all-star cast of hip hop artists, including the music, voice, and likeness of members of hit rap group D12.
