What A Performance!!!!

BKB vs Deadly Irish Assassins

Last night produced the best performance from a Brits Know Best team to date. While mrteeps was busy watching Charlie's Anals, me, xMASTERPIECEx, Westy2k and daren brady took on Deadly Irish Assassins. We went on to win the game 3 games to 0, winning canals 5-0, fuel depot 5-0 and gridlock 5-2. With superb performances from every member of the team including stand in daren brady. Overall a superb team effort and a very special thanks to the opposition who were unlucky on several occasions.

Man of the Match - Daren Brady - Superb performance from daren which consisted of boom shot and torque bow kills of the highest quality.

On a sour note a match scheduled for 1:00am was cancelled because of a no show (something of a trend on Gamebattles)

4 Wins and a Reputation Star!!!

So we bagged our 4th gamebattles victory of the season with a 3-0 win over delusion and therefore climbed up the rankings table and have now actually got a 1 star reputation. May the winning continue and let's hope it continues tonight when we play another Gamebattles match at 11:00pm

We would like to thank team delusion for the match last night which was thoroughly enjoyable. Remember if you are interested in playing against our GOW team then either challenge us on gamebattles or send us an xbox live message to Lees75 or mrteeps.

And the free game is.........

UNDERTOW, yes your free game from Microsoft due to xbox live issues. Unfortunately those of you who already own Undertow get nothing which is bang out of order, Microsoft yet again follow up good news with bad. Customer care is something which they clearly lack match practice in. Undertow is available to download for free from Wednesday through to Sunday.

EDIT: I however feel you should all stop being miserbale bastards and just play gams...its 2 quid for christs sake...let it lie! Teeps xxx

Other news is that Brits Know Best have now entered the GOW league and tournament on Xleague. We are looking for other players to play other games such as COD4, PGR4, Fifa 08 and Halo 3. If interested please contact britsknowbest@btinternet.com, thanks.

New Demos on Xbox Live marketplace!

Two new demos flew onto our marketplace over the last few days, the first being the new Turok game. Now i have yet to play it but according to mrteeps don't expect to be entertained, i think the official words were "It's shit, it looks pretty but it's not very good" The other demo to hit the marketplace was Fifa Street 3, again i have not played this and i am expecting the worst to be honest. Westy however has played it and he loves it, he has even gone as far as pre-ordering the game. In my view it will be a waste of money but i will save my judgement until i have actually played the game. The big news regarding demo's however is the so called release of the Devil May Cry 4 demo according to Capcom's website the demo is due to come out on the 31st of January. I hope this is the case as i have really been looking forward to the game and have already pre ordered it from Game. For those of you contemplating the game please feel free to check out my demo review and full game review soon and also check out the side bar and videos of DMC4.

Happy Gaming,

Diary of a 360 Widow

Episode2 – Game Break Etiquette.

Hello again members of BKB and those of you who have stumbled across this site and are confused enough to be reading this in the hopes of discovering what this site is about. This month’s ponderings are on those moments where you have to put down your controller and irritate the hell out of the rest of your team.

Now the way I see it there are very few reasons why a hardcore gamer would leave his chair once he’s met up with his virtual companions. Now in our house things like Baby Teeps sticking lego up her nose/being sick/ smearing shit all over her room are dealt with swiftly and where possible by a singular parent (not always me) but not everyone in BKB shares our domestic set up (although there has been lodger talk) so this blog will concentrate on the 3 main reasons for game desertion.

Tea Breaks – Now certain members of BKB have more tea brakes than others and some have people who make them a brew which then goes cold while they sit blowing the faces off their rivals and occasionally their team mates. It is considered polite to inform your team that you will not be in front of the tv for a short period of time. This should be while you are waiting in a lobby rather than in the middle of a match. You should take your headset with you and offer to brew up for everyone. DO NOT under any circumstances try to drink any hot substance whilst playing a match as no good can come from it.

Comfort Breaks – It is important that you judge your timing right. There is nothing more unattractive than a man sat in his own piss. Also, if you know you need a shit and you’re the kinda guy who takes a 360 magazine to the toilet (Teeps) then inform your team and sit the next round or two out.

Spousal Abuse – Sometimes your life partner will wait until you have lined up an amazing head shot to begin an argument. This may or may not be purely to irritate the hell out of you but the situation needs to be dealt with before it gets out of hand and she/he costs you a whole night/week of gaming. For these instances it is not good idea to say into your headset ‘Hang on boys the missus is being a twat.’ As this may lead to you console flying out of a window. Instead your team should have a code phrase such as ‘I’m off before the Yanks take over.’ That way you team knows you may not be back for a while.

So the basic gist of my pondering is if you are going to disappear off for any reason TELL SOMEONE! That way your team mates aren’t left thinking you are dead/bumming sheep/shaving your legs.

Until next time.

Love and biscuits.

Mrs Teeps.

A present from Microsoft!!!!

Yes you read correct Microsoft are actually going to give us gold members a present due to the difficulties of xbox live over the last few weeks. What the present will be is unknown but speculation suggest they could be giving us all a free Playstation 3 (not true). It's good news to me as my George Forman has just broke so it's a perfect replacement.

On a serious note the xbox live service is better but still experiencing some problems so we just have to bear with it.

Other News

• It is rumored that MGS4 will be coming to 360 but 12 to 14 months after PS3 release, this has given me some second thoughts as i was planning on buying a pS3 for that title alone. This can only be good news for 360 owners.
• Unreal Tournament III is 90% complete for Xbox 360 so it seems it will be out earlier than expected.
