Hellfire Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Ohh yeah Metal Slug 7 coming to arcade! A DS game going to arcade? Weird.
Cube Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 yes.. I love Katamari but will NEVER get their DLC... DLC at it's worst. Not one download but they spread it out so you have to pay 400 point for every tiny download or something.. grrrrr I thought Katamari didn't have any DLC. Just that you had to pay to get stuff that was on the disk.
Daniel Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Just wondering if anyones knows a good HDMI cable to go with my new 360? What kind of price is reasonable? Plus im guessing there are better ones than others so what am i looking for?
Chuck Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 No matter how shit fallout 3 looks visually Im very much looking forward to it now. Its like oblivion (except oblivion looks bad less often making it better) with the depth, storylines and such that makes the game tasty.

A £50 cable will be better than a £5 one, but not to the same extent it was on component etc. So basically, spend whatever you want to

I think ill find one around the ten quid mark
LegoMan1031 Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Some cost £50?! thats insane for a cable! I think ill find one around the ten quid mark I know, here on one on argos for £55 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0483603/c_1/1%7Ccat_10199181%7CElectrical+accessories%7C10199205/Trail/searchtext%3EHMDI+CABLES.htm LOL, my 360 has the one that comes with the elite and my PS3 just has GAME's own make. I have tried them on either console, i can't notice a difference.
Rummy Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Just got back from work. Bought me a brand new 60GB 360 for £126! Bargain, or what?!?!!? My old console is going to my bro, he left for uni today so it's being sent up with the rest of his stuff 2moz. Where on earth DID you acquire such a bargain! Turns out alot of people I know lately are after 360s. Also, why would this FFVII remake be such a big deal, and why is it that it would never happen?
Hellfire Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Got GRAW cheap, it's pretty cool so far although the controls are cluttered as hell and the AI is insufferable. Still didn't go online considering I can barely play it :P
McPhee Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Some cost £50?! thats insane for a cable! I think ill find one around the ten quid mark You think £50 is expensive? Never looked in a Hi-Fi/Home Cinema magazine, have you? :p It's the price of cables that motivated me to upgrade my 360 to a 60GB HDMI model, i could upgrade and buy a decent 5m HDMI cable for the same price as the Component cables i'd have needed to hook everything up to my projector (coming next week). Where on earth DID you acquire such a bargain! Turns out alot of people I know lately are after 360s.Also, why would this FFVII remake be such a big deal, and why is it that it would never happen? Sainsburys have been selling games consoles cheap for the past week. Xbox 360 Arcade: £99.97 Xbox 360 Pro (60GB): £139.97 Nintendo Wii: £149.97 The offer is on until Sunday. I'm staff, so 10% off those prices
Shorty Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 got 3 red lights yesterday, blinking and humming and the works. just left it on after a game, came through to my room for about 5 mins, then went back and found it doing that.... Turned it off, unplugged everything and then put it back and turned it on again. Started up fine. Bit worried though, Dan says it might only have a day or two left. Sigh.

I reckon you've got a week left at most, thats how my Elite went :/ put it this way though, at least if it goes wrong tomorrow or something you'll have it back within two weeks or less which is before the really big games start coming out.
Shorty Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah, at least this time I have some advantages: 1. I have the perfectly packaged box from last time. 2. Although I got lost once last time, this time I know the way to the UPS centre but I'm not giving up hope yet *knocks on desk but realistically expects 360 to die next time I play*
Chuck Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Im not the biggest fan of non-turn based rpgs but the last trailer for the last remnant is tasty.
Ganepark32 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I know it's strange to be asking this now but it's been bugging me for awhile now. Anyways, earlier in the year I finally beat Halo 3 on legendary. Now I had already seen the legendary ending on Youtube and it's not really a big deal but is anyone able to tell me why, after playing the campaign from start to finish on legendary, I didn't get the ending? All I got was up to the bit where Arbiter and co fly off home. Just curious. Not a big deal at all.
Caris Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Has anyone downloaded the new 007 multiplayer trailer on XBL? Honestly the game looks stunning to me, defiantly one of my most hyped games this year.

If so then enjoy playing through it again The final ending cutscene (IIRC) was played out after them.
Ganepark32 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 ^ No. I didn't even get the credits on completion. After the bit with the Arbiter I got the congratulation message that appears and it went back to the menu. Oh well. As I said, it's not a big deal. Was just curious.
Dante Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 outsold Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 for the fourth consecutive week in the latest video game sales data from Japan. Media Create Co. on Fri. reported that the Xbox 360 sold 8,271 units between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5. By comparison, the PS3 sold 7,232 units in the same period. The 360 ranked two titles in the top 50 game sales, including Raiden IV at No. 38 and Tales of Vesperia at No. 46. Microsoft this week said it will raise its sales forecast for the Xbox 360 in Japan on stronger-than-expected demand for the hardware. Xbox 360 sales in Japan were bolstered after a price cut enacted on Sept. 1, which discounted the hardware to as low as 19,800 yen ($189). DS Lite 42,385 PSP 26,045 Wii 25,330 PS2 8,618 Xbox 360 8,271 PS3 7,232

Nintenchris Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Fable 2 or Far Cry 2? That is the dilemna.... Both. Cos im greedy like that
spirited away Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Both. Cos im greedy like that I'll be getting both of course; but which to get first? Probably get Fable 2.
Chuck Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Fable 2, Far cry 2, Dead Space and Little Big Planet. The wallet is begging for mercy.
Dante Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 GameRader's Why Saints Row 2 is the antidote to GTA IV? One of GTA IV’s biggest strengths – and possibly one of its biggest problems – was its insistence on keeping the action as realistic as possible. No longer could you stand on top of moving cars and terrify the drivers; you’d lose your balance and fall off the second they started moving. SR2 defiantly rubs GTA’s nose in this by not only enabling players to stand on top of moving cars, but by turning it into a traffic-surfing minigame. It’s also worth noting that, like every other activity in the game, you can do this naked Although Saints Row 2 takes most things in a radically different direction than GTA IV, there is one little thing it could be accused of copying, albeit wrongly: giving players a cell phone to dial numbers, punch in cheats or call up “Homies” to come watch your back. The difference is that Saints Row 2’s cell phone (which actually debuted in the first Saints Row) is barely integrated into the gameplay at all; you won’t use it to fool your targets into revealing themselves in public, for example, and none of your imaginary friends will ever use it to invite you out for a drink. Again, whether that’s good or bad depends on how much Niko’s ever-buzzing phone irritated you in GTA IV. One of the saddest things we saw during the run-up to GTA IV was all the misinformed saps who thought that “multiplayer” meant they could plug in a second controller and play through the story with a friend. And while you can’t do that in Saints Row 2, exactly, you can play through the entire story online with a buddy, and that’s always a plus. Over the course of GTA IV’s rags-to-slightly better rags story, players earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, almost all of which were spent on guns, body armor and ammunition for Niko. You could buy clothing and food, too, but in general the money didn’t do much aside from enabling you to pay for dates and survive a little longer in a firefight. You couldn't even spend money on property, like you did in earlier games; instead, it was all handed to you, for free, as part of the story. In contrast, there’s no shortage of things to spend money on in Saints Row 2. Instead of simply moving between a series of small apartments, you can buy 11 “cribs” scattered throughout the city, and then spend more money to upgrade them with new décor, better furniture and gigantic televisions. High-performance cars are also for sale if you know where to look, and dropping more cash will turn them into garish purple monstrosities with spinning rims and spikes that shoot out from the wheels. Also, while GTA tried to keep playing dress-up to a minimum, Saints Row 2 enables you to buy layers of ridiculous clothing, jewelry and tattoos and mix them together however you like. Grand Theft Auto IV caught some flak over its watchable in-game TVs, which were a nice touch but featured shows that weren’t quite up to the series’ high standards. SR2 doesn’t even bother with trying to create its own channels, and the TVs in your apartments are useful only for two things: re-watching cutscenes (which is kind of fun, because any changes you’ve made to your character since the events happened will show up in the cinema) and playing a videogame called Zombie Uprising. Zombie Uprising plays like a crude imitation of Dead Rising, in that your task is to fend off endless waves of zombies using your fists and whatever else is scattered around. It’s usually only fun for five minutes at a stretch, but the amount of detail that went into making the shambling, bloated zombies almost makes us sad that they didn’t suddenly surface to menace the city in the final act of the game’s story. Also, they’re really fun to carve up with a chainsaw. What? “Eclectic music picked out by people with excellent taste?” What the hell does that mean? All we know is that among Saints Row 2’s thrash-metal and hip-hop radio stations is one that plays “The Final Countdown” and “Take on Me” seemingly every five minutes. And if you can’t enjoy that on some level, then we have nothing more to discuss.
