I get home from work after some overtime and what does Dan, (my other half) have in his hands? A Titanfall controller! They had a couple of controllers in stock in Leeds GAME when he was having a browse, so he picked one straight up!<br />

It took a few seconds to open that little circular clear sticker at the bottom of the box - of course, I opened it carefully... But I was pretty excited, so I might have rushed it a bit. Inside the box, it came with 2 AA batteries and some health & safety information.</div>

The controller actually feels a bit better than the original Xbox One controllers. One of the problems I have with the original Xbox One controller is that the seaming around the back of the pad is a bit raised and uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. With the Titanfall controller, it feels a bit more rounded and smooth rather than seamed. The panels of plastic on each controller handle don't feel at all loose either, which is a problem I've seen on a few of the Xbone controllers during play and testing.</div>

I'm pretty sure that I play Titanfall 300% better on it too.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a confession to make. I am addicted to Threes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Threes is a game about numbers. And sliding tiles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's an iOS version, which is right <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/threes!/id779157948?mt=8" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also a browser version, right <a href="http://threesjs.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. This one is my favourite, but it's a bit not official..<br />And in the past few days, an Android version was released... And that's right <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vo.threes.exclaim" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No Windows Phone version though.... That sucks.</div>

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've written anything here. I've taken a step back from twinstickgaming.com for a while whilst I focus on weddings, my career, being short and other general Hollie things. I still want to continue writing however, so here is a little article about my favourite comic book artist.<br />
<br />
So... Jim Lee.<br />
<br />
Jim Lee is another comic book artist maestro, (I wrote about Fiona Staples some time ago on this very blog) most known for his pencilling and inking work with DC comics - specifically Batman: Hush. He started in the industry with work in Punisher War Journal and The Uncanny X-Men, where he hit it big and co-formed Image Comics, a publisher for independent comics. Image Comics is a fantastic concept - a platform for publishing where independent comic book artists and writers are not as restricted with their content.<br />
<br />
He also designed and drew some comic book covers for the Gears of War comic series (notably #19, pictured left).<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/12.19.10JimLeeByLuigiNovi1.jpg/230px-12.19.10JimLeeByLuigiNovi1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/12.19.10JimLeeByLuigiNovi1.jpg/230px-12.19.10JimLeeByLuigiNovi1.jpg" height="200" width="149" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jim Lee, top notch geezer</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Batman: Hush is probably one of my all-time favourite Batman story arcs, panning a total of 12 comics (Batman #608-619). The series was pencilled by Jim Lee, with inking from Scott Williams, writing from Jeff Loeb and colouring by Alex Sinclair.<br />
<br />
Jim Lee has a degree in medicine. His study of anatomy and muscle structure within his degree may have something to do with his passion for drawing heroes -well, I would definitely use a knowledge of the human body to my advantage if I were an artist!<br />
<br />
He uses an F Lead pencil for the majority of his pencilling work, and a quill for inking.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Truly a master of his art!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey! I'm new here, and wanted to introduce myself - I go by DarrenIndeed. I've been playing games for years, in fact my first memory is of playing Global Defence on the Master System back when I was about 2 or 3. I'm a huge SEGA fan, and I usually write for <a href="http://www.segashiro.com/">http://www.segashiro.com</a> if you want to e-stalk my writings.<br />
<br />
Since just before Guitar Hero 2 launched, I have been hopelessly addicted to the various music games Harmonix has put out, so it makes sense to me to use this for my first post here.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yesterday was the last official release of Rock Band DLC, and after 271 consecutive weeks of music and over 4000 downloadable songs, I am sad to see it end. Harmonix have made this little video about Rock Bands' 5 years of releases and DLC. For now we still have RBN releases though, so there will still be new songs coming.DarrenIndeedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01909966198241321115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756029603133777300.post-42659540020495850242013-04-03T01:09:00.001+01:002013-04-03T13:40:59.402+01:00XBLA Microsoft Studio saleHey folks - another sale from Microsoft with Xbox LIVE, this one looks a bit better.

I honestly don't know if they're real or fake - because to be honest, it is a pretty shocking sale. Unless you're looking for DLC for nearly 5 year old Fallout 3, then you're in luck! </ol>

...So lets combine the two!<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="293" src="http://www.wired.com/geekmom/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saga-image.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<br />
<br />I've recently got hooked on a comic book series called Saga. It's an independent series, published by Image comics - so might sadly get overlooked by the casual comic browser. It's written by Brian K. Vaughan (writer and producer for multiple series of Lost, comic series Ex Machina and Y: The Last Man, the latter of which is currently being adapted to film) and Fiona Staples (various art in comics over the past decade).<br />
<br />
Saga is a unique epic fantasy/science fiction story, reminiscent of nothing you've ever read as a comic book before, with hints of Star Wars with Shakespearian mystical character design (on drugs). So far, the basis of the story is following that of a child, and their parents Marko and Alana, a pairing of 2 soldiers united by the wars of their species. The artwork is simply flawless, and some of the best I've seen around in a comic book. There are some explicit scenes in the comic books, so mature readers suggested.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I've got the urge to spew loads about this story and the characters it involves, but you really need to find out for yourself why it's so good. After all, there is a race of people with televisions for heads...<br />
<br />
You can feast your eyes on the first issue of the comic <a href="http://www.comixology.com/Saga-1/digital-comic/JAN120485" target="_blank">here</a>, I definitely recommend it!<br />
<br />
Also, if you get reaaaaaally hooked off of that first comic, and you're left wanting more, <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Saga-Volume-TP-Fiona-Staples/dp/1607066017/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364692310&sr=8-1" target="_blank">here</a> is the link to the Amazon page. You can pick up the first 6 comics as a graphic novel currently for a mere £6.75.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you've got a stack of your favourite SEGA and Nintendo game carts, but no longer possess your old consoles (or don't have the space for them), you can now set your sights on getting the latest Hyperkin development in hardware emulation, the slick-looking RetroN 5!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently announced at the Midwest Gaming Classic convention as the RetroN 4, Hyperkin have gone one better and announced a retro enthusiast dream addition in a 5th Famicom slot, and renaming the machine the RetroN 5.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It may be missing out on some retro format essentials, such as SEGA Master System or Amiga, but we're not complaining, since the gadget boasts complete PAL and NTSC compatibility, HDMI 720p and support for up to 4 wireless bluetooth controllers. The console also sports a total of 6 original controller ports for SNES, NES and Mega Drive, with the added function of using any controller for any game - so if you want to use a SNES controller to play Ecco the Dolphin, it's completely possible!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The RetroN 5 also comes with a wireless bluetooth controller, chargeable via a micro USB port to a USB port on the console. There are also 6 facing buttons and 2 shoulder pads, with a microswitch directional pad replacing the traditional directional pad.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If that wasn't enough, it's also possible to save games, and store saved games on the system, with an auto-save feature when the system is shutting down. You can also re-map controller layouts to your own preferred configuration, and control manual and passive over clocking for super-slow or super-speed retro gaming.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This could appeal to uber-fans of retro gaming that want to store parts of their retro collection for safe-keeping, or to the casual player who has a couple of games in their attic and wants to play their friends on their Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninjas NES cart.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey folks,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thought I'd let you know about a game that I'm a massive fan of...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a THQ published, Ukraine '4A Games' developed title, which recently celebrated selling 1 million copies on PC worldwide to a total of 1.5 million over all formats, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">although sadly had quite a quiet launch</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. The fan base is always growing, but it's a shame it didn't have the same hype at launch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/E02n8AicpNw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The game I'm talking about is Metro 2033, based on the novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky. It's a post-apocalyptic first person shooter with a difference - survival and horror elements leave you scavenging for ammunition (which is also used as currency at shops within the Metro) and jumping at every beast, nook and cranny of the Russian metro system in which you (Artyom, the protagonist) now live.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is probably one of my favourite first person shooters, aside from Halo of course! There is a sequel planned for March 2013, titled Metro: Last Light - trailer can be seen below :)</span><br />

Below are the photos from the Team17 HQ move, which took place over the past few days. The first slideshow is for the old building, which has been Teamster HQ for the past 17 years.<br/><br/>

And below are the photos for the new Team17 HQ. The move started on December 5th 2012 (Team17s 22nd birthday!), finishing on December 6th 2012. There are still a few bits and pieces left to do, such as boxes and crates hiding in places. These offices are much more modern than the previous HQ, and might I add that the Toby Carvery house and the chip shop nearby are nice extras ;)

There's also a gym. Thats the new years resolution sorted!
Also, everyone needs to start playing Far Cry 3, its great. I can't judge fully as I haven't completed it, and I've pretty much been trying to hunt boars for the skins to make ammo pouches, to no avail... But still. Looks snazzy, plays nicely. Story is decent so far.

<br />In other news, Team17 have a new HQ. It's a more modern building, and looks really nice.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />As you may or may not know, Free Radical (the developers of the Timesplitters series) went bust back in 2009. Crytek bought them out, but we are yet to see a sniff of Timesplitters 4. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">CEO Cevat Yerli has stated that he would like to make a new Timesplitters but he doesn't know if demand for a game like Timesplitters would be great on the current generation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Now this isn't a petition to get a Timesplitters 4 out there, but this petition might show Mr CEO of Crytek that there IS a demand, and make a Timesplitters 4 and IT WOULD BE AMAZING.</span><br />

So I was tending to a headache and minding my own business on Facebook, when I get a message from a friend telling me to tune into Classic FM.<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Lo and behold, a whole menagerie of classical versions of </span>video game music (composed by the London Philharmonic orchestra) flowed into my aural cavities, leaving me with a lovely nostalgic feeling. Here are a few videos taken from Youtube of tracks that were played: </div>

Now I don't necessarily agree with that list, but you can't have every single decent track on one album... Which is why the second album was released on 6th November 2012.<br /><br />You can find the complete track list to the first and second albums (and also purchase) <a href="http://www.greatestvideogamemusic.com/">here</a>.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Found these beauties in a Cash Generator in Leeds, England. They were £2.99 each.<br />Rampage and Street Fighter 2 'Special Champion Edition' I would rate as a 2/5 and 3/5 for condition. Both are missing manuals, but the sleeves and cases are intact, and the cases close.<br /><br />Sonic and Sonic 2... I own these guys a few times now - but if you find one in better condition you gotta have it, right? Sonic 2 I would rate at a 4/5, manual completely intact and undamaged, but is curled and case has a small scuff.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sonic 1 has been cellophane wrapped by the previous owner. I've tried to keep it as intact as possible whilst opening, and boy was it a treat - new game smell hit me in the face like a wet fish. It was glorious. 5/5 for condition, not a blemish, although the manual and poster advertisement inside was very slightly curled.</span><br />
