I never liked the Elder Scrolls games that much, and I played both Morrowind and Oblivion. Morrowind involved a lot of confusion and a mediocre at best combat system, while Oblivion refined the combat system and improved the way the game progresses, but the rest of it felt boring.

Apparently, AVG or Avast! Antivirus is meant to be good as antivirus software, and they do have free versions.

As for anti-spyware programs, you could try Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware.

This seems like a brilliant idea in theory, but whether I'll use it depends on the pricing, the performance (as latency could be a possible big issue) and the games library.

I'm gonna pass on the DSi. Considering the fact that I upgraded from a classic DS to a DS lite earlier this year as my old DS broke, I don't feel like spending £150 on what to me seems like a slightly better designed DS Lite with no GBA port and a camera and the ability to download DSiWare applications.

To be honest, the only appealing features to me are the camera and DSiWare, but I'll still pass as I perfer my DS Lite.

I thought that Sonic Heroes was ok to be honest. The team based gameplay worked quite well although level design wasn't that good. However, Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) did deserve the criticism it got. Sonic the Hedgehog had both awful gameplay, bad load times and often poor level design, and the story was pretty bad too. I haven't played Sonic and the Secret Rings though but I heard it was bad too.

But I own Sonic Unleashed, and while its better than the last game was, its still flawed. The main Sonic levels are linear and often on rails which leaves little oppurtunity to explore, and involve moving extremely fast through levels, to the point where Sonic is often hard to control. As for the Werehog levels, they are good at times but can be repetitive. The game itself sometimes has decently desiged and also poorly designed levels too. I agree with you that its not shit but its definitely nowhere near perfect.

You make some good points in that review, and it looked well edited. Keep it up.

I'd like to see a new GTA game set in either Tokyo, London, Chicago or maybe Las Vegas. Also, I didn't like GTA4 too much because I thought it strayed away from the sandbox style that made GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas so good, the story was a bit of an improvement in GTA4 but it felt like much was missing from the other GTA games, like bicycles, skill training, planes and other things too.

As far as character portrait goes, the first one looks better because it looks like a proper stealth unit which is what the Dark Templars are.

However, the second one with the scythe/warstaff rather than the one with the dagger looked better as far as character model goes.

To be honest, I think Sonic went downhill since Sonic Heroes. SA2B was awesome, while I got SA:DX for the PC and thought it was ok, but definitely noticed that the graphics were getting dated. The early 3D games had annoying controls, but they weren't that bad until later sonic games.

As for Sonic Heroes, the controls were oversensitive and the final main level of Team Sonic's story mode involved 12 minutes of gameplay and about 8 deaths from annoying platforming sections. Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) was awful, not only because of a worse control scheme but because the levels were either buggy (sometimes falling through loops or moving too fast/slowly on one causing me to die with no way to prevent it except do it again) or they were badly designed. Worse, the city challenges were annoying because of the several loading screens.

Sonic Unleashed was an improvement I think, but level design has gotten worse. For instance, Rooftop Run Day Act 3 involved the collecting of Chao in an annoying platforming level which the controls just didn't suit. I would often fall to my death because it was a bit difficult to control Sonic.
