Hero-of-Time Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I got a text off my mate yesterday saying he was having trouble with the marketplace and yes he's with Sky aswell. I snapped up the new maps for CoD:WaW yesterday and I love the new zombie map, its so intense and I find it more enjoyable than L4D. Its a nice change of pace being able to randomly spray weapon fire without the worry of hitting the other members of your team
Cube Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I got a text off my mate yesterday saying he was having trouble with the marketplace and yes he's with Sky aswell. It seems to be fixed now. Although I've now decided that there's still too much to do in Saints Row 2 to bother with the DLC.

Tellyn Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts arrived this morning. How is it that I haven't even played this franchise until Saturday?! I love it. I've got 100% on the first four worlds in Banjo Kazooie, and I'm just working my way through Nutty Acres on Nuts & Bolts. Is the Live maintenance going on for 24 hours?
Kirkatronics Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I hope it ends soon, i dont like not having it =[
Cube Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Gears of Wars 2 is much, much better than I expected. They're pretty much improved every single aspect of the first game, and the levels are much more varied. The plot also comes across better - I had absolutely no idea why I was doing whatever it was I was doing in the first game. Oh, and giant worm FTW. Edit: My exact thoughts at the time was "that looks like the Star Wars giant spaceworm form that angle. It would be awesome if we got eaten by it... ...oh... ...awesome!" Edit: Also, the amount of colour in the game makes a huge difference. Edited June 16, 2009 by Cube
Retro_Link Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 The 360 will be 5 years old next year so I wouldn't say it's too soon. Besides, Microsoft wouldn't be dropping the Xbox merely releasing a revised and rebranded version. It would still play all existing games, but any new games that came out might be a bit shinier or run a bit faster. It's like a far, far simpler implementation of the PC model: different machines run games at different settings.But in which case all current 360 owners would need to buy a new £250 console to play the newer games... can't see Microsoft doing that. A redesign yes maybe, but not a console upgrade surely.
Gizmo Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts arrived this morning. How is it that I haven't even played this franchise until Saturday?! I love it.

Because you had no soul, but grew one on Saturday. Coincidence? I think not. But in which case all current 360 owners would need to buy a new £250 console to play the newer games... can't see Microsoft doing that. A redesign yes maybe, but not a console upgrade surely. The idea being there would be two graphical settings for games, one for 360 and one for 720 or whatever.
Tellyn Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Gizmo, I was a Sony child, so that's probably true. Gears of Wars 2 is much, much better than I expected. They're pretty much improved every single aspect of the first game, and the levels are much more varied. The plot also comes across better - I had absolutely no idea why I was doing whatever it was I was doing in the first game. Oh, and giant worm FTW. Edit: My exact thoughts at the time was "that looks like the Star Wars giant spaceworm form that angle. It would be awesome if we got eaten by it... ...oh... ...awesome!" Edit: Also, the amount of colour in the game makes a huge difference. Agreed on everything. It really is amazing what a bit of colour can do to a game. And the giant worm was brilliant. "Anya... it's a giant worm. They're sinking cities with a giant worm!"
Aimless Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 But in which case all current 360 owners would need to buy a new £250 console to play the newer games... can't see Microsoft doing that. A redesign yes maybe, but not a console upgrade surely. I think you misunderstood, all games would still work on the original 360 but playing them on the revised hardware would yield better performance or increased effects, much like PC game settings can be tailored to the hardware they're running on. Anyway it's just a rumour, and one lots of people have different takes on. Personally I'd put my money on a redesigned, rebranded machine with negligible differences to current 360 hardware — built in Wi-FI, HDD, and perhaps a dash more RAM for Dashboard purposes.

How is it that I haven't even played this franchise until Saturday?! I love it. I've got 100% on the first four worlds in Banjo Kazooie, and I'm just working my way through Nutty Acres on Nuts & Bolts. Im glad you've checked the Banjo series out, they are fantastic games and despite what many may say that does include Nuts N Bolts. Its nice to see that you have embraced your 360 a little more, Nathan
Dyson Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Its nice to see that you have embraced your 360 a little more, Nathan I agree! Good man
Hero-of-Time Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Anyone else checked out the new look of My Xbox and Friends List over on xbox.com? Its pretty sweet
jayseven Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Why do you have your privacy enabled with your gamercard? Ashamed of what you're playing? :P
Hero-of-Time Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Why do you have your privacy enabled with your gamercard? Ashamed of what you're playing? :P Not at all. Its been great getting messages off various people on Live asking why i've done this, nosey gits
James Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Not sure how that can be great...........your gamer points is a little impressive though, for me anyways. I think Jordan maybe has 10 bazillion points though.
dwarf Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Not sure how that can be great............ At least his works :p
James Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 At least his works :p touché It works now kinda, no picture though for some reason!!
S.C.G Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 touché It works now kinda, no picture though for some reason!! Change / re-select your gamer-pic, it should work then; it's probably because it wasn't working at all before that it's refusing to show the pic atm.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I've been looking through the Argos catalogue on some of their "deals". I have been thinkings of getting Assassins Creed and maybe The Last Remnant, part of their 2 for £30 thing. Good dealings?

If there is nothing better in the offer then probably but I'm sure that both of those games could be obtained for less than £15 each on eBay. Creed - £9.50 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ASSASSINS-CREED-XBOX-360_W0QQitemZ200352777794QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS?hash=item2ea5f4c642&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A2|66%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A2|294%3A50 Remnant - £14.97 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/The-Last-Remnant-Microsoft-XBOX-360-Game-Fast-Post_W0QQitemZ290326005590QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS?hash=item4398c74756&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A2|66%3A2|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50 £24.47 a saving of £5.53 might be worth it, because it'll cost you to go into town to pick them up... unless your talking online deals in which case you may as well get them off eBay anyway unless you've had problems with the site.
