@Jordan (oh god I've become twitterified), Definitely up for that. Achievements agogo baby!

 

Curses, I've lost the bit at the end of the controller that connects the round connection to the usb. I can't seem to find them around on the internet, irritating as I imagine it'd be quite cheap to replace Anyone know where I can find these or what they're called?

Finally a date has been set!

 

Atari has announced plans to bring Namco Bandai's Xbox 360-exclusive Tales of Vesperia to Europe in June.

 

The latest in the long-running RPG series puts you in the role of Yuri Lowell, a former Imperial Knight, who lives on the planet of Terca Lumireis, where the people exist in an uneasy bubble of protection afforded to them by the Empire's control of an ancient technology, "blastia".

 

As you'd imagine, Yuri "will explore the complex relationship between blastia, the government and its people, setting foot outside the safe confines of the cities to explore a mysterious and dangerous world", according to Atari.

 

Then he will of course do some punching, using an upgraded version of the Tales of the Abyss real-time battle system, which now includes encounter-linking (bringing roaming enemies into battle) along with the old surprise encounter system, and special objectives within boss fights.

 

You will be able to chain together attacks, deliver commands to others in your party as you fight, and take advantage of Fatal Strikes, Burst Artes and a multistage Overlimit (see Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Symphonia). Later you can do some cooking, which is something of a series mainstay.

 

Tales of Vesperia has been out since last August in Japan, where it made a decent impression on the charts and picked up some impressive scores (35/40 in Famitsu), and also came out in the US around the same time, doing likewise.

 

For some reason we didn't take a look at it at the time, which is unlike us. Why else did we buy that US Xbox 360? We'll grab a copy soon and let you know what we reckon.

....you're using wired controllers? Also, couldn't you just... find it? It can't be far away.

No, it was on my RB instruments. Unfortunately I think it's been lost in transit between my uni flat and my house :(

well, it's called a breakaway cable if that helps you look for another

^ was wonder if or when that'd get a mention. Watched it last night and it's disgusting to say the least that Microsoft will not replace discs if the console has done the scratching and it has not come about as a result of moving the machine. The machine shouldn't be able to do it in the first place. Gonna be interesting though to see what happens with the US court case about this very subject cause I don't think Microsoft have a leg to stand on with a machine that clearly has a fault. If their not careful, this kind of lawsuit might start popping up elsewhere.

So I looked on the web and ebay and have been unable to get hold of a breakaway cable. I then call Xbox Support to see if there's anything they can do about it and all I get is "Buy a new controller" before being hung up on. Fucking angry.

FINALLY managed to bag a copy of Battle Fantasia the other night and it arrived this morning. Its pretty sweet actually, not a patch on SFIV but still a really enjoyable beat 'em up. Anyone else got it? Its had a really limited release here and its a shame because it would be great to be able to find a match online but there's no-one out there!!!

The pleasures of being late to the 360 party.

 

I noticed that shopto are doing Overlord for £9.99 and it was something I was keen on picking up (being a Pikmin fan) so I couldn't resist it at that price.

 

Arrived today and it seems like a solid enough , fun and enjoyable game , still very early on though and the lack of a map may be a problem , but should be good practice for Overlord 2 when it hits.

 

I may need to start work on the games backlog soon though , as it's getting a little out of control.

I got it for the PS3, its a shame it got completely overshadowed by SFIV. It really is a good game in its own right.

I found out today that i shouldnt play my xbox360 while its standing, it broke 2 of my games, laser burn or somethin :( Only had them for about 2 weeks. I called up gamestation told what happened and they'll replace the 2 games. They also said that the xbox360 isnt broken and should be played lying on its side.

What Caris said. It is designed to be played either way, hence how the green lights change position depending which way you have ur console...

 

Its like GAME telling me a few weeks ago that my controller wasn't faulty even though as soon as i started using it both joysticks were unbarably squeeky (after the manager saying that though he still changed it for me).

^ well done. Don't let those idiots make you settle for less than you should get. Can't believe they tried to fob you off by saying you have to play the 360 on its side otherwise it'll wreck the discs. Actually, I can believe it but really it's disgraceful they said it in the first place. At least they did replace it though.
