Also impressive is the sliver plated crystal encrusted diamond ring lip gloss which comes in a yummy plum, priced at just €11.95 it’s a must have. Another product in the collection worth mentioning is the shimmer face powder called diamond glow which is priced at €15.95 - they are in available in store at the moment & wont be leaving the shelves until early February.

How to get the Japanese Resident Evil 5 demo working on your 360

Due to popular demand..I.E. people expressing great interest in wanting to play the new RE5 demo I have put together a little guide on how to get the demo working on any xbox 360 - for this you will need the following: an xbox 360 (obviously!) - a CD or DVD burner complete with a blank disc.. the RE5 file - I will not host this file directly for obvious reasons but if you contact me through mail/etc I will point you in the right direction.

Well first off this demo will work on all regions so don’t worry where your xbox came from - the main thing is that your machine is not illegally modified (chipped) if it is then forget about it. Lets get started

Instructions:

(1.) burn the content folder to a CD or DVD using a program like Nero, most CD/DVD burning programs should do the job

(your CD/DVD should look like this - see?)

(2.) turn on your xbox & go to the demos tab on your menu

(see the screenshot?)

RESIDENT EVIL 5 (demo review)

I got my paws on the Resident Evil 5 demo tonight & I have to say its all I expected it would be & more! First off the controls at first did seem very troublesome & a little ropey but this was easily fixed by changing the controls in the options menu. The aiming can be a little tricky too & there is a little issue of having to stand to shoot..hopefully this will be different in the full game, the quick turn does come in handy when you are overcome by crowds of enemies & believe me that happens quick enough! My tip here is to always remember to reload because you don’t want to be doing that when at the wrong moment. The enemies themselves are fierce & fast & will attack with knives & axes - & yes there is waves of them, you do feel a genuine fear as they charge & because ammunition can be scarce its sometimes better to run than to face them & run out of ammo. Perhaps the best feature is the co-op which works not only online but offline too! Here you really do have to rely on teamwork to make it through & communication is essential, swapping items with your partner/assisting in jumps/watching each others backs - its all here & it all works meaninglessly. So far only 2 levels come with the demo but they are both great fun & highly detailed with a claustrophobic setting that will bring you up close & personal with the enemy & give a great idea of how the finished game will look & feel to play, the visuals are impressive & some of the best I have seen on the 360 so far. If the demo is anything to go by then when the finished game is launched on march 13th it should be really something special, of course when it is launched I will be playing & reviewing the game so watch this space.

Another busy weekend

Well as you can guess I had yet another busy weekend so I haven’t been online or blogging a lot, Saturday night was the busiest with an early Christmas dinner & a party & after being stuffed with turkey & ham I had to wake myself back up & head to my favourite club NIMHNEACH, what’s that? Why only Irelands best fetish/bdsm club, hours of dancing was had by me & of course kinky fun was had by all attending. I would highly recommend it to anyone in Ireland who wants to take a little walk on the wild side, its aimed at adults only of course & because it’s a bdsm club there is a dress-code. And now back to the blogging..
