    If I crash a car because I let go of the wheel does that make the manufacturer liable. I think not! The same is true here.

     

    I think the analogy here is that if you crashed your car due to negligence and your seat belt broke so you flew through the window and severley injured yourself, you would have a case against the car manufacturers as they supplied you with faulty (or inadequate) safety equipment. Nintendo are just covering their asses by improving the strap so that they can not be liable for any damage if some muppet decides to launch their remote into orbit.

    Anyone tried Assault Heroes yet? I downloaded it this morning before work and had a quick play. I finished the first level and unlocked half the achievements! Admittedly, the other half may take some work but I really enjoyed playing it. If anyone picks it up I'll do a bit of co-op with them anytime.

    The PC version of Star Trek is getting generally poo reviews, 58% average over at gamerankings. Is the X260 version any different? I'm definately not getting it but some people on this forum seem to be excited about it so I'm hoping it'll be better for their sakes!

    Those of you still wanting to pre-order and live around the Coventry area, the Virgin Megastore in town are still guaranteeing orders on release day, apparantly they haven't had many pre-orders yet so your chances are high. It's a 30 quid deposit so that's probably discouraging all the chavs from ordering for a laugh.

    So what do you reckon? Will the Wii specially format the SD cards for use solely with itself and make it pretty much unreadable with PCs, Macs etc? Will each file saved on the SD card be encrypted using a private key unique to the Wii it was saved on so they can't be traded from one Wii to another? Or will they allow trading of Saved Games, but has some sort of DRM in place to stop free trading of the downloadable games?

    Ok fellas, I've got a grand in the bank and want a nice HDTV, preferably 37 inches or bigger so i'm not downgrading on size from my current CRT, what does anyone suggest. I suppose at a push I could go a couple of hundred quid over a grand but would rather not obviously.

    Hey guys, I got Just Cause at the weekend and I think it's pretty good. the only problem I'm having is that it keeps crashing on me all the time! Does anyone know of any possible solutions to try and fix this as I've searched the internet and no one else seems to have this problem. I remember there being some sort of action i can take that clears the cache on the xbox that sometimes stops these crashing issues, any help would be appreciated.

    Im on trying to level everyone up now. I had to redo Miyfees missions as I accidently saved over his game. To get the secret mission you have to finish the game with everyone and then go back to Imphys missions 9 please say you have a save file with each character ) after you load her game back up another mission is there.

     

    To do that mission you will need her to be level 9 and have a deadly armband which can be found on the secret mission if you equip some clovers. The armband gets dropped by one of the deamons if you are lucky. Once you have that you can just spam the A A Y attack once your special gauge is full. Also keep dying straight away and retying the level until the level difficulty goes all the way down to 1....good luck!

     

    You probably already know this but that last achievement is only unlocked by completing every level in the game with the character at level 9... not just by getting all the characters to level nine. Sucks I know.

    Can someone please explain the obsession with gamer points?

     

    Is there a benefit you get from them that I don't know about?

     

    Is the only thing that other people can see how many points you have?

     

    If so, don't folks realise that by buying into the whole points thing they're just being played like complete fools by MS?

     

    It's fun.

     

    For me at least.

     

    I don't get much free time these days so when I get 1-2 hours free to play it's nice to have something obvious to aim for in that time. Achievements are one of the obvious ways for me to do this. The other, lesser, reason is that it gives me and my (real life) friends some healthy competition alongside the leaderboards.

    I don't understand why this means MS is playing me like a fool but if that means i don't have to take pictures of my tv showing the ending of prey and posting it to my mates as proof that i completed it then fool me up MS!

    So Nintendo go all out to say

    "We can't just make hardware that's more powerful than the last generation every time, we have to innovate, simplify the interface and reach out to a broader audience."

     

    and then they're going to add

     

    "Oh, and also, here's the next Game Boy, it's like the old Game Boy but more powerful and with a more complicated interface."

     

    I doubt it. I think Nintendo have almost painted themselves into a corner with the whole DS/Wii generation because they can't release something that's just a more powerful version of anything they've previously released without being hypocritical to the whole Wii ethos.

     

    But at the same time, you can't complain that if Nintendo stick to their guns, they are forced to innovate all the time and produce truly original hardware every generation.

    My gf is a semi gaming GF, and hot (opinion i guess but people seem to agree).

    By semi i mean that she plays some ds and xbox live arcade games.. at the moment she's the barometer i use to see if a game is casual player friendly so if she doesn't get on with the Wii when i get one, I'll be expecting it to flop (unfortunately)
