Today Codemasters have released the latest video featuring in game footage of their upcoming racing game, FUEL which will see gamers racing over stupid amounts of varying terrain in a fictional present and racing in a multitude of vehicles from 4 wheels to 2.
This looks set to be the racing game of 2009 if they can deliver, it looks amazing and with "100,000 miles of roads, tracks and trails and hundreds of race events FUEL’s epic world demands to be explored" this could be one racing game. More on that nearer to its release date which has been confirmed to be this May. View the amazing video below!
You can go to the official web page for Fuel here.
In other exciting news we have the gaming BAFTA's for this year with the shortlists available to view here. You can also vote for your favourite game of the year here and be in with a chance of winning some prizes!
Odd though that included in those lists is the likes of Call of Duty 4 when that was released back in 2007. I know it was good but did it really need to top 2008 too? Maybe they are counting the recent release of the game of the year edition as a 2008 release.

We are coming back...
Well what a great start to 2009. Well kind of seems like the year has started somewhat rather bleak what with Woolworth's shutting and so many other businesses announcing job cuts however have not fear for...
Hello all AAA Fans!
Just to announce that the site will start to become active once again over the coming weeks. What with the Christmas period and the mad rush of games released by developers in the fourth quarter of last year and Akardo bogged down with Sixth form and myself bogged down with other things we seem to have neglected the site a little bit.
So we are going to bringing to your attention some reviews as mentioned over the coming weeks so please come back and keep checking as to what will be happening!
See you all soon,
The AAA Partnership
Yes you read it right me and Akardo will be coming back pretty soon with the AAA Partnership and shall be updating as regularly as possible in light of trying to get the site up and running again and being more productive with it. What with the fourth quarter rush of games having also gone hopefully we shall be able to look back on some of the releases of last year and review them along with some of the major upcoming games for this year. Most notably for myself Empire Total War and Dawn of War 2 at this minute in time.
Also planning on keeping the blog updated a lot more with varying topics either every day or perhaps every other day depending on time schedules etc. At this minute in time I have been a little lax due to other demands.

A World of My Own Public Beta Released
Well CVG just reported that the A World of My Own (AWOMO) Public Beta has just been released in the past couple of days. This is potentially quite exciting news but there are a few things which have changed since they seemingly dissapeared from the web a couple of months back.
They orginally were intending on releasing this platform with it's high speed download for games and the innovative feature of a 3D avatar world where you could meet and socialize with other gamers. This was a brilliant idea and recently we have seen the Home Beta come out for the PS3 which show cases the same kind of thing.
After all these months of no news from the AWOMO team they have come up with this beta but no 3D world on release however they do state that they will be adding this in a future update. Presumably before the platform gets the full go ahead. Currently they are offering Rome Total War to play for free and state that you could "get Rome: Total War in as little as 5 minutes"! This is pretty amazing but obviously it would depend on your connection speed but non the less impressive.
Not sure how this platform will do in the beginning as it has the potential to become quite big and perhaps compete with Steam but in its current state and without the release of their 3D world I suspect that this will be another platform which will be under Steam. If they can get the 3D world and implement it without any problems I can see this platform potentially taking off rather well. Not many places where you can meet and greet people with 3D Avatars whilst your game downloads with lighting speed.
Well time will tell and I shall be keeping you posted on updates to the platform.

Phase Two - Layout and Colour Changes - Complete
You may notice a huge difference to both my blog and You Tube channel (AJB123644) in the form of a re-design. I has orginally done a very odd scheme for the You Tube channel which was not really that pleasing on the eyes so I have changed it in light of a upcoming announcement in the New Year.
Hopefully the new colour scheme of which are both on my You Tube channel will be a lot more user friendly and be more appealing to all you visitors out there!
With regards to Phase 3 which is now what I am classing as the final transfer of all You Tube videos to my main channel. This has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances and will be merging the musicajb123644 channel over the next fortnight.

Phase One Complete
As it says in the title of this blog post phase one is now complete of my You Tube Channel merger.
After some hard thinking I have decided that having three seperate You Tube channels made life too complicated and meant clicking on far too many links in order to see the different range of videos I have on offer at the minute. Now you will be able to view all my videos that were on the GuruAJB123644 You Tube channel on the AJB123644 Channel. With them all eventually being merged into one place it should make life a lot easier for all you out there to enjoy my videos in one central place.
I shall be moving the musicAJB123644 channel's videos over the next week so keep an eye out and if you are wondering where they have gone then just check out my main You Tube channel here:

That is all for now. Soon it will be Christmas but enough of that until later!
