A collection of very brief reviews.

Sharpe's Fortress, Trafalgar and Prey
Not exactly deep stuff but entertaining enough. I can't say that "Sharpe on a boat" sounded particularly enticing but Trafalgar was surprisingly good.

Various books by Christopher Brookmyre
All very good. Have become a big fan of his work hence reading 5 of his books in the space of a few months.

Fallout 3
Excellent. Bloody Huge. Level too fast and/or level cap is too low.

Fable 2
Very good. Suffers due to it's size, too big. By the end of the game you feel you have seen it all so lacks the replayability factor of the first game.

Mirrors Edge
Very cool. Do badly, feel like king tard. Do well, feel like King Radical. Certainly not perfect but precious for doing something new.

Gears Of War 2
YEAH! WOO! BRING IT ON SUCKA! THIS IS MY KINDA SHIT!!!

CoD: World At War
Still undecided.

Left 4 Dead
Enjoy playing other peoples copies, don't buy it.

Saints Row 2
Where the fun cut from GTA4 ended up. As good as GTA4? A tougher question then you'd expect, which is in itself a big triumph for Volition.

Wall-E
Cute. Adorable. Great.

That'll do.

Did Sharpe single headedly win the Battle of Trafalgar then? Or would that spoil the story.

No but he just leads a boarding action against one french ship.

Oh and he does meet Nelson before the battle (meeting him after the battle would be trickier).

He certainly got about a bit. Maybe they should errect another column in Trafalgar Square to commerorate him.

Unless he survived old age too of course...
