Modern Warfare 2 Online Multiplayer Guide

It seems the posts linking to my game guides are getting a lot of clicks, so - if you guys want game guides then you got 'em!

I'll post them over time though so you don't feel like you're getting spammed!

Here is a very comprehensive guide to Modern Warfare 2 online , although you can apply some of the tips to any Call of Duty Games that you play.

If you have found yourself thinking of nothing except Modern Warfare 3 then you really need to replay the MW2 online mode just to help with the wait. Even if you're still playing another CoD game I'm pretty sure you'll find something in this guide that'll suit you. Don't worry though I'll be posting more online game guides for the other CoD games too.

Lady Gaga and Marilyn Manson

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's noticed how many similarities there are between Pop Icon Lady Gaga and Shock Rocker Marilyn Manson.
Aside from their clothing choices (and believe me they have a lot more outfits in common than just this one) and love of ridiculously high platforms and heels they have had both their sexuality and gender brought into question in the tabloids (Manson's true gender became a popular topic after the images released for his Mechanical Animals album). They have both taken their music a step further than their competitors in an attempt to shock and inspire their audiences.
Both stars love to cause controversy, especially when being interviewed personally. So why was everyone so shocked when it was announced that they recorded a remix of Gaga's single Love Game? To me Gaga and Manson doing anything together just seems right, they seem to be doing the exact same thing but in two different sections of the music industry. Apparently they both have a crush on each other too so let's hope they will team up together again in the future.

Gears Of War 2 Collectibles Guide

I wrote this walkthrough a while ago and I feel its not reaching enough people so I'm posting it here too.
It seems that every game is getting pushed to the side now that Modern Warfare 2 has been released (not that I'm complaing - I love the game).
I'm planning on posting some more guides for Modern Warfare 2 here soon so keep your eyes peeled.

Book review: Living With The Dead - Kelley Armstrong

Firstly I want to thank the people of Little Brown and Orbit publishing for granting me a review copy of the following book.

Living with the dead is a book that reminds me of Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake vampire Hunter Series but with more realistic characters. When I say realistic I am comparing Armstrong's characters to Anita Blake - Blake is the overly brave main character in the Anita Blake series. All of Blake's characteristics are very strong - almost to the point where she seems unrealistic.
Armstrong's characters, however, are very believable. There are six major characters in the story - Robyn, Karl, Hope, Colm and Adele. Robyn is the only character devoid of any supernatural powers.

Adele is a paparazzo who's assignment is to follow Portia Kane (basically Armstrong's version of Paris Hilton - very famous and very pointless). Adele is also somewhat psychic and has the power to remote view through other's eyes, a useful power for a paparazzo. Colm is her arranged fiance - arranged by the psychic family they're apart of. He's clumsy and always messing things up even though his main aim is usually to please Adele.
At the beginning of the story Portia takes a snapshot of her 'frenemy' jasmine wearing a hideous dress, but she has also, unknowingly, taken a picture of something much more important. Portia forwards the image to her PR Robyn - who later turns out to be the prime suspect in Portia's murder. Robyn's best friend Hop and her boyfriend Karl (who's a werewolf) try their best to solve the murder and clear Robyn's name, all the while they are being followed by Adele who needs to delete that picture.
The cop who's investigating the case also has an advantage - he can see ghosts, and he has a very helpful one for this case.

Each chapter is written from a different character's point of view, which adds a nice touch because it allows the detective's efforts in solving the crime to become part of the story even though he doesn't have much interaction with the other characters. Robyn has the most page time in the book, which means that for the beginning of the book there's not a lot of supernatural activity. As the story continues the detailed and interwoven supernatural society of Armstong's world is slowly revealed and you won't be able to put the book down until you find out how it ends.

Review: Free Zombie Music Graphic Novel - Zombies Can't Dance

For the first time you can experience a graphic novel through the medium of music! And its free and fully downloadable too!

And this isn't just any story either - its a zombie apocalypse. Unlike the usual zombie apocalypse idea Zombies Can't Dance introduced zombie-killing robots and more. Each chapter is sung in a different musical style, and the lyrics tell the story of the apocalypse, in an almost humorous way that is sure to make you smile. Each song is accompanied by an illustration that aids the lyrics telling the story.

My favourite song/chapter is No. 4 'Aim For The Head'. The song has a country feel to it, which really reminds me of the demo level for Left 4 Dead 2 (the level is based down South y'all). The story that the lyrics tell about survivors climbing a tree will make you grin (and remind you the importance of zombie preparedness).

For those of you who like the zombie apocalypse genre (yes I consider it to be its own genre) this is something you just have to experience. It's unique, it's fun and quiet frankly I'm kinda pissed I didn't think of it first.
