What they said about Game Mode: The Game mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response, and enhances the sounds of your games. Game Mode is among the settings menu just press the menu button and navigate down till you find the Setup menu. Most people use "Movie mode" though because they didn't like the look of Game mode. Both modes have Dynamic dimming and contrast disabled by default.

As far as I remember going through Ravenholm was one of my favourite moments in the game..

Yup that's what I heard too, I have no idea when it'll arrive now, is the Orange Box too large for a postbox so I have to make sure I'm in to receive it? I don't think Royal Mail are well organised enough to cope with this in the first place.

Ah, I'll check it out when it actually arrives which it still hasn't. You better be right :p Maybe they added HDR or something. P.S. BLOODY ROYAL MAIL it was sent off on Wednesday by FIRST CLASS and it's been three days since, I've received something off gameplay.com the day after ordering fine last week, I have to send that back because I've changed my mind but I dread to think it'll get lost on the way back.

Well you can get tired of one genre and the 360 has a ton of FPS's that include Bioshock and Orange Box even though as I said they're great, some people might want to play something different now and again. Portal looks interesting though. I might start from the beginning from Half life 2 again or Episode One first though, it better arrive later today.

As much as I enjoyed Half life 2 and Episode One and even Bioshock yes I'd classify them as that, they are GREAT games however. That's because there's already so many shooters on the 360 and a few more coming out later this year. Call Of Duty 4 is only a couple of weeks away also.

Is Anelka out though? He really is a class player amongst a crap team.

Better graphics than the PC version? Are you sure you played it on a good enough machine when you did last played it on the PC? I don't think they could of made it look any better with a poweful enough machine. Also the controls are obviously better on the PC. Anyway whatever version it's a great game, HL2 and Episode One were both fantastic although Episode One is short and Episode two is only slightly longer but still I can't wait to play it whenever Royal Mail decide to deliver it. The Orange Box will last you longer Eternal Sonata is really short apparently for a modern RPG, it's up to you whether you want another decent JRPG or another shooter.

Nothing received here either. I also ordered Eternal Sonata for next day delivery off softuk before 3:30pm which they said to do but that hasn't arrived either. I've only received something from play.com which should have arrived 3 days earlier.

Virtua Tennis 3 was pretty poor IMO I wonder how this will play like.

NiGHTS has been delayed till next year but alot of the stuff I don't really need. Besides Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Galaxy I mostly want Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars 2 and NiGHTS which are all coming out this year in the US but they don't look like they're coming out over here in the UK this year.

It's out of his England's hands, Croatia just need a point from their last two games and Russia have Israel and Andorra and have to win both games. Double checked the tables and fixtures and that's about right Russia and Croatia both have a game in hand left. England are such a huge letdown and having a manager who doesn't know what he's doing is not much help.

Steve McClown has done it again. I'm gonna watch Brazil tonight then it's back to the Real stuff this weekend.

My cards' been authorised this morning and it was being pick and packed but the status hasn't changed so far. I was going to replay Bioshock but if this is coming soon I won't bother.

I know but Diouf should be a name you've heard of alot : peace:

It's Diouf not Deauof :p Well I can't wait for the club games to return, international week is so boring. By the way has anyone seen the live games for Arsenal in December? http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?thisNav=News&article=482882&lid=NewsHeadline&Title=December%27s+live+TV+games+announced 7 games both on Sky and Setanta including the game vs Chelski and the North London Derby is finally being shown live!

They got rid of the usual bright cartoony look to the game..

I hope they don't neglect the offline bots like some FPS's lately it adds more fun when playing with 4 other people in person or less. 7v7 or 6v6 on the Wii and 10v10 on next gen anyone? Also the level designer should be easier in the Wii version.

Those Americans already got The Orange Box right now dammit. I've been reading TF2 might have some framerate problems though.

They have a backlog of items which is why they said it may not be back to normal service so soon so don't be suprised about any delays. Friday is probably the earliest and Saturday the latest. http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=1000002&mediaId=51600692

Half life 2: Episode One was so short but still rocked. It's been too long since then and I can't wait to see what happens next. I've never played Team Fortress before when it was on the original Half Life but I have played Unreal Fortress, TF2 is a bonus for me but I'm looking forward to Episode two finally more than anything. Hopefully it lives up to the original at least and lasts longer than Episode One.

You're on disc 3 already I'm guessing? The sidequest areas are great and one of the other islands has a colony of Poo snakes they give you massive amounts of SP when you gather many of them into a multi monster battle, also one or two platinum ones appear which gives even more SP than the usual snakes. Also in the underground river there's a barrier you have to remove to get to a ton of Kelolon's there that give alot of SP, five or six of them at a time will get you alot of SP for ranking up.

Well I've collected are the Mystery parts finally and got the achievement, the Golden Mecha Robot is very very quick and powerful but when you fight him there's no boss music.

It's mainly Team slayer so yea you've probably not encountered that yet.

I just don't want to be forced to play a single gamestyle repeatedly, there's not even a game browser as there's always been in since the early PC online FPS's. It's been a system used online for ages and it's easy to use but I can live without it if it plays the right mixture of gametypes without it getting repetitive. But it looks like they're fixing the frequency of how often shotty snipers appearing.
