Tesco is 35 quid i think

Played this for a few hours today and now I have really bad motion sickness! Strange really as I've never had it playing any other game before, I wonder why it happened in this game?

What's a Naruto? Should I return to my Man Cave and keep reminding myself I'm not down with the kids anymore?

That reminds me, what's with the voice over guy in Crackdown saying random things all the time? I was just jumping about from car to car the other day when he suddenly says "What a view, the finest in the City". I didn't think that the view from on top a Mini was that good to be honest!

You pay 37 pounds a month for your broadband? Or is there some sort of offer involved?

The end of the world?

This is so funny, Nintendo Europe just haven't got a clue at the moment! I sent the following email a couple of days ago: and have just recieved the following reply Now, as some people here have had their copies shipped to them for the 4th May, how can NoE NOT know that it's being released in two days time? They're getting beyond a joke now!

And all the dark blue squares are porn, yes?

I've just been using a nifty little app called WinDirStat that provides a visualisation of your hard disks so you can identify large files that you want to delete. A side effect is that the visulization looks pretty cool. Give it a try.

I'll be getting it... not sure whether to get this or Spider-man 3 360 version on friday though. I'll wait and see what people say about Spidey.

For reasons I won't bore you with, my main development PC at work is running Windows Server 2003 so I know what it's like to have a server OS as your main OS. Bottom line, don't bother. First of all, quite a few bits of software and drivers won't be suported on the OS, typically client apps and graphics card drivers. If you get into a pickle with some software and need to ring the help line, they'll tell you to run it on Vista/XP instead. I've had an ATI graphics card in my dev PC and have never been able to easily upgrade the graphics drivers because ther are no compatible ones available. Secondly, unless you know the ins and outs of server OSes, you're going to get worse performance playing games and other apps because there are numerous other processes happening in the background that aren't there in normal client OSes. I'd say pretty much anything you get with a server OS isn't useful for a pc that isn't hosting or serving a significant number of client PCs.

I doubt it's that high, there'd be more of a uproar in the non gaming press. Last figure I'd heard was 35% which is still terrible.

That's good news, I hope they do this for all customers. Do you have to pay anything at all? Delivery costs or anything? I know they used to send you a prepaid box to put it in and send back, is that still the case?

Damn, that's a shame. Something to (hopefully) look forward to in the sequel then.

Not yet, the custom pics from the camera only appear to your friends over live too which is a bit poor! Best thing to do is play a game that has some cool art and hope that it adds some new pics to your list.

You'll never let that lie will you! :wink: I hope the rumours are true about 4 player Crackdown coming, that would be even better! Woah, two hours before you said you weren't on Gold yet! Excuse me for not following your every move. Could you be a little more civil too please, I was only trying to help.

Won't be able to if you're on Silver. Only Gold members can play with other people. Sucks I know but it's worth it.

Sorry I missed it all as usual, Friday night is usually "Girlfriend Time" chez sparks so can't really get online. Hope I can get a game with you guys soon.

Wooo! Just finished Guitar Hero on Hard! Free Bird was a bitch but after a few days i got there in the end! Doubt I'll even try Expert other than to earn more money, I think i found my limit.

I'm not an expert at any means but the HDMI cable is suposed to be better quality due to the signal being digital from end to end, rather than converted to analog at various points. Also it's a little easier on the eye due the cable being just one input rather than 4 or 3.

This reminds me of the time I "retired" from working at a night club just after being caught giving my friends free booze!

I think that if the game is done respectfully to both sides of the conflict and provides plenty of "Oh Shit" moments that actually make the War look dangerous and deadly rather than a friday night in Lazer Quest, games should be allowed to portray real life wars.

I've had a quick look and can't find a release list that's up to date. The big ones for the next month or so are: Spider-man 3 Forza 2 Command and Conquer 3 though i may have missed something!

I think they should set it during the cold war and have all the soliders just sat about shitting themselves waiting to get nuked. Achievement Unlocked: Changed your underwear 20 times
