So, I thought I would buy the two The Force Unleashed add-ons, Jedi Temple and Tatooine. Although a lot of fun, 800 Microsoft Points each is far too much for an hour or so each of extra play. 400 would have been better!

The Force Unleashed : Tatooine : My Achievements(3)
Dead Space : My Achievements(4)
Graphic Novels : Ultimate Fantastic Four : Frightful, Vol 6
This volume of the Ultimate Fantastic Four is actually the prelude to Marvel Zombies. The volume has a number of shorter stories before the main event, the Four Fantastic 4 vs the Zombie versions of themselves. Interestingly, there is an enjoyable "what-if", the teleporter accident had not changed them into the Ultimate Fantastic Four and I had to laugh about Thor as President of Earth.
Graphic Novels : Bomb Queen II, III and IV
Bomb Queen is 100% satire and writer Jimmie Robinson push the limits with the dangerously named Dirty Bomb, Bombshell and Suicide Bomber. Bomb Queen focuses around the life of super villain and her ownship and management of New Port City. A haven for the lowest of the low, murders, rapist, you name it, they live there, but guess what, they deserve New Port City, they deserve the Bomb Queen and that is the point. I am yet to receive Volume I, but I have enjoyed Bomb Queen thus far.

XBOX 360 : My third years gamerscore
15th September marks the date I first brought my XBOX 360 and started collecting points. This years total is 11,240 and I running at 47% of all possible achievements.
Health : My knee after Friday's appointment
As you can see from the picture, I have not had ACL(anterior cruciate ligament) reconstructive surgery. The reason, firstly my MRI was misleading and it was unlikely that I had actually completely snapped my ligament, secondly I have no instability apart from the initial traumas and thirdly the consultant who are due to the operation was part of research team working in Sweden. The teams research suggest that ACL surgery is not nessacary for Joe Average, ie; if I was a professional footballer and required the surgery to continued my career do it, otherwise improving muscle structure is safer than surgery and ACL may lead to increased risk of arthritis, not decreased as current research suggests. The paper explaining this change is due for release later this year. So, I am off the GYM to improve my muscle structure and no more football for me.

Graphic Novels : The Authority, Relentless, Book One
Nothing like reading things in reverse, so I discovered "The Authority" by reading the spin-off "Midnighter" comics. I loved the Midnighter's attitude and fight, which means I will definitely review them too. Which bring me to "The Authority", a group of super-heroes, but I use the word heroes loosely as they are what you would call morally grey, brought to together to fill the gap left by "Stormwatch", who were from what I can gather a international funded orgranisation. They fight to protect Earth but in their own way. The first book is an enjoyable read and morally grey heroes are almost always better than the usual good or bad.
