im pretty clueless as to what i have to do with the files to get them to work so i gave up.

Ninja Blade demo:
No No No. its FULL of those QTE's, press A, now press Y, now tap B rapidly... repeat till you get sick of it, which happens very quickly.

Amazing graphics though.

Bioshock is easily the best single player FPS this gen

Only people I know who don't like it are people who just played the demo or the first hour of the game and got frustrated because it wasn't like CoD4

I played through it to the end, but I just didn't dig the setting or a lot of the characters

I could appreciate that the engine behind the game was top notch, but I don't think it was for me

Remember being pretty happy when I finished it because I was bored at that stage

COD4 is easily the best FPS. Bioshock was good, and i liked the story and the twist was good aswell. They done a good job with the creepiness factor aswell. I just wasnt overly awed with it.

The note about Lahinch is Mar 67. The note about the French girl is Nov 67.

The Key West newspaper clipping says 'reports of a mysterious red light which began in Europe have spread into the Caribbean'.

America is west of Ireland.
