was my mam's 50th birthday in August and we went to Yorkshire for a long weekend. We've never been on holiday with my sister and the children before so it was really good. We also had a suprise birthday meal for her at Azurri in Newcastle, with my aunties and uncles :)
Just before I went back to university my brother-in-law won a prize on Metro Radio for a 3 course meal for 4 people at Tiger Tiger in Newcastle. Unfortunately he was unable to go so he gave all 4 places to me, so I went with 2 of my friends (I couldn?t get a 3rd friend who was available at such short notice). It was a great night and hardly cost anything as we got 3 free cocktails each and a bottle of champagne!

I've always preferred the more Arcade-ish Virtua Tennis to the more tennis sim game Top Spin, so when Virtua Tennis 2009 was released I bought it on the release date.

' UFC 2009 Undisputed ' is the newest game based on the fastest growing sport in the world MMA (Mixed Martial Arts).
After downloading the demo from the Playstation store, disliking the game and branding it as an all out button basher, I deleted it.
However, this was only my experience of playing the compuer. I tried the demo again at a friends house and thought it was brilliant when you play someone else.
So I decided to download the demo again. This time round fighting the computer was more fun for some reason, so I bought the real game.
Gameplay
The gameplay is excellent. One of the most frustrating things about these types of game is when you can't move or face the way you want, but this isn't a problem in UFC 2009 Undisputed.
The buttons are easy to get the hang of, with TRIANGLE, SQUARE, CIRCLE and X all ...
