Posted December 21, 2008 Been at uni and my internet connection is complete bollocks.I've missed it more than I thought. Mate same here! Just came back from Uni today and played at least 2 and a half hours of FEAR and finally finished it! It felt so good to play the 360 again! Now gonna start GOW2 with my best mate as well as GTA4!

Posted December 21, 2008 I recently bought the new Prince of Persia from play.com for £20 and so far it's been a very good game. Graphically it's beautiful. Storywise it seems quite good. I like how everything is so smooth. From the wall climbing to the sword fights. Also how you can stand still, press LT and talk with Elika with the camera sometimes making it look like a cutscene. Although I do feel as if the story is really quickly paced. I don't know if it's good or bad yet. First I'm following a girl, then I'm escaping from guards, then I'm running into a building for some reason, then escaping it, then going to these places to do something to the land whilst fending off some demon type creatures. All of this within about 2 or so hours. Then going to the next area to do the same. The only thing that's breaking up the quickness of the story is having to go over the whole 'level' again to get the light orbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2008 Just started playing GTA4 and i gotta say i'm enjoying it ya know! I've never been a fan of the GTA series before but so far so good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 21, 2008 The demo has nothing on the game, especially since it stops letting you play the moment things get interesting.But it´s one of those games that are more fun played with someone else and there´s no local co-op so sucks for that. I don't know, I loved the crackdown demo so much I bought the game based purely on that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 24, 2008 Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there a way of removing games from you achievements list if they are arcade demo's that you haven't purchased? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 25, 2008 Why in the world do I need to call Microsoft to end gold subscription? It would be so much easier if I could do it myself from the account on the 360. Just found out I have been paying for it for two extra months. Only bought for one month because of Fable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that really annoys me, it should be possible either through the dashboard of via xbox.com tbh! I have no one from N-E on my friends list, I should probably go through and add some of you none of my irl friends play online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2008 Whats the cheapest way to get microsoft points? Can you buy arcade games straight up with a debit/credit card or would i need to buy more points than i need even if i only want 1 game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2008 This be the cheapest way... http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/3514596/Xbox-Live-4200-Points-Card/Product.html 4200 points card, generally if you buy M$ points through your 360 with your credit card the rate is about £20 = 2000 points so thats £1 per 100 points, but if you take that link I posted, on Play their 4200 points cards are £32.99 so it pays to buy them in bulk, unfortunately they are out of stock atm but thats your best bet, either that or finding two 2100 points cards really cheaply.

Posted December 27, 2008 Let me know what sonic unleashed is like. The last sonic game I bought nearly made me cry it was that bad.. The HUB world structure thing is awful and very confusing.

Posted December 27, 2008 Just out of interest does anyone know if downloaded Xbox originals work with a VGA cable? When I try to play some from the original xbox discs they don't In this instance you must first connect your Xbox 360 to your HDTV via a component cable, then insert the xbox disc, the game will update, now you can use it with your VGA cable on your monitor.

Posted December 27, 2008 My Dad bought the 120GB with the transfer cable for his 360 and we tried to transfer data from his 60GB HDD but it kept saying to insert the original drive which is already in, and it wouldn't transfer. So we gave up on that and tried to transfer data from his 20GB (different 360) to the 60GB, and when we tried that it wouldn't recognise that it was plugged in. So can you not transfer 60 to 120 or 20 to 60 or is something wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
