Article-writing goodness

As some of you may know, I’ve recently started writing game reviews and news for GeeksofDoom.com under the psuedonym Keyser Söze - my first being the Grand Theft Auto IV review I blogged about last time.

I have to say I’m enjoying getting my mind working in the process - its elating to actually have to think, and especially about something I genuinely enjoy. :)

Anyway I thought I’d post and give you the skinny on some more GoD goodness that I’ve done recently…

My first bit this week was just a little press release given to me by GoD editor Eve of Doom aka Empress Eve, detailing the news that GTA IV had broken 3 guinness world records… and that story also got Dugg, and became stupidly popular… :) Thats literally the first time anything I’ve actually written has been dugg properly… and at the time of writing its on 2194 diggs… and I was advised yesterday the story hit over 100,000 page views. Mental!

Anyway the next story posted this week by me is a preview of Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures… the game looks to be very good fun! So hopefully I’ll get a review done of it when it gets released. :)

The next review I have in the works is for Dark Sector on the Xbox 360, so I’ll let you know once that has been posted. :)

GTA IV - Geeks of Doom Review

My review of GTA IV hit the front page of GeeksofDoom.com early this morning, going under the Psuedonym of Keyser Söze (I love The Usual Suspects ok? lol ).

Niko Bellic - THe main protagonist of GTA 4

Anyway here’s a little exert of the review… click the linkage to read more.

Grand Theft Auto IV follows the story of Serbian war veteran Niko Bellic, who heads to the U.S. to join his cousin Roman in the pursuit of the American dream… and obviously such a task is normally undertaken via distinctly shady means. The storyline as it progresses can be a little predictable sometimes, with the usual backstabbing going on, and you being used as a mindless thug by Tony Montana wannabes. But, it’s still extremely well thought out, leading to some great cinematic set-pieces.
