jayseven Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 GGIPBYHWARC! My old collection of games was majorly purchased when teh games were sub-£10. There are plenty of bargains out there for that price, just be sure to get a rottentomatoes score as there are obviously some stinkers in the bargain bin.

The Bard Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Played the demos for both The Darkness 2 and Syndicate (co-op) today, and by god those are two games I will purchase. The Darkness was a given since I really loved the first game, and even though it's Digital Extremes working on it rather than Starbreeze, it is going to be pretty fantastic, and it plays pretty well even though I'm interested in it from more of a story perspective. Syndicate on the other hand, by god, it feels mechanically great, although the shooting functions are ripped from Crysis 2, it still looks to have enough of it's own quirks to make it interesting. Funnily enough, it's being developed by Starbreeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Similarly, I tried the Darkness II demo and the Goldeneye demo this weekend. However I was left with the desire to own only one of those, can you guess which? :/ I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the one that felt like Call of Duty: James Bond Edition. I don't understand why they've gone for cartoon graphics on the Darkness II though; I preferred the look of the first. In fact I think I hate those kinds of visuals, it was probably the one thing I didn't enjoy all the way through Borderlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've also given the new Goldeneye a shot as well, i knew it wouldn't be like the original. With that in mind, i looked at the demo as if it were a new title. It wern't brilliant really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 GoldenEye is actually quite different than Modern Warefare. You get to be much stealthier (if you choose). The single player is much more fun than any after CoD4. The worst thing about it...you know that epic Trevelyan speech by the helicopter explaining why he turned in the film? It's been replaced with "I'm evil because the bloody bankers got their bloody bonuses!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The demo stopped before you jumped off the dam (...) but I didn't really feel much opportunity to be stealthy after the first sniper tower. How on Earth I was going to infiltrate the main base after killing 20+ enemies from a truck and blowing up a tanker with my AK47, I never got to find out.

It could be better on the Wii than the 360/PS3, i'll have to look into it though.

Caris Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Guys I have a question about Xbox DRM. I know you can transfer licenses to a new console once a year. But if you get a new console before that time And you've already used the transfer can you play your DLC or is it useless till the year is up? I think I remember someone saying you can still use it but you need to be connected to live to do so? Can someone clear this up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your signed in online with the gamertag that bought the dlc/xbla then it will work. I went like two years without knowing about transfering licences as I only have my gamertag signed in when I got a new one when mine broke.

Caris Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Cheers Mike, so what happens if you try to play the content whilst you're offline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoMan1031 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Cheers Mike, so what happens if you try to play the content whilst you're offline? I would assume it will just be a 'computer says no' moment, where it will ask you to sign into xbox live with the gamertag. As I was only ever signed in I never really encountered what would happen. ------------- In other news just watched an unboxing vid for the star wars 360, it's released on the 3rd April. Love the sound effects! Edited February 8, 2012 by Mike1988uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Cheers Mike, so what happens if you try to play the content whilst you're offline? It dont work if your offline without transferring. Registers to your console and gamer tag, neeeeda transfer the console license to play offline on a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Played the demos for both The Darkness 2 and Syndicate (co-op) today, and by god those are two games I will purchase. The Darkness was a given since I really loved the first game, and even though it's Digital Extremes working on it rather than Starbreeze, it is going to be pretty fantastic, and it plays pretty well even though I'm interested in it from more of a story perspective. I started and finished The Darkness II yesterday and I have to say that it's not a patch on the original game. Now I loved the first one and was pretty excited for the sequel, but the game is just far too short and easy. I think total campaign time was around the 5 hour mark. You do get another little campaign to do in the form of Vedetta, but even that is only about a couple of hours long. The story isn't as interesting as the first game, although the end was pretty cool. The Darkness powers aren't as good either. I miss being able to send out my little darkness snake/worm and rip peoples throats out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Probably get rid of my 360 this week I think, its just sitting around never getting used. Anyone got any idea how much Game or Gamestation offer these days for trade in for a 250gb 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Does anyone else feel like it's been such a slow, unexciting year for gaming so far? In November, things went crazy, and Skyrim and Dungeon Defenders have tided me over quite nicely since their release. March is looking fantastic. But it feels like a real drought in between. I'm really looking forward to SSX and Mass Effect 3, as well as the new Naruto game, but it feels like they're taking forever to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Can't really argue there, though honestly it hasn't impacted me at all. Skyrim, Dark Souls and Rayman have more than tided me over in the last few months and there's a tonne of games like Batman I never even picked up.

Jimbob Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It does seem most companies have pushed out their final 360 titles, even though a new Xbox wouldn't be out until 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
