I had the best present ever yesterday, one of the bellends I have to work with decided to throw sprouts during the xmas dinner.

He hit the Infantry platoons CSM on the head.

I left the mess late, only to walk into the whole platoon outside my block, thought nothing of it. 2 mins later theres a load of shouting from outside...........

.........bellend is being held down by 8 guys as the rest of the platoon tape him up with duct tape. They then carry the christmas fool around camp before taping him to a pole outside the Naffi/coffee house/internet cafe. Soak him liberally with water and leave him hanging for an hour.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. :)

It really made my day, christmas was shite this year.

It's pretty good, it's not like the original Dead Space as it's an 'on-rails' shooter, but it's done in such a way that it's quite cinematic unlike the usual games of it's ilk, ie Time Crisis.

Although it's a prequel it manages to htell the story in quite a surprising way, and even though some familiar environments are featured by the virtue it's onrails it doesn't feel repititious.

I wouldn't say it's worth buying a Wii for, but if you've got one and like the original Dead Space it's worth checking out; I noticed that Game have got it in their boye-on-get-one-free offer at the mo.
