Fuck the originals, release Contra 3 and i'll be interested.

 

I have seen this man play Contra 3 and it is quite stunning.

 

I used to think the C in Mike C Fudge stood for c*nt, but after seeing him play the game I now know better.

 

Mike Cuntra 3 Fudge.

But the joke wouldn't have worked so well that way. Why let a little thing like FACTS ruin it?

[Mikey]

Oblivion? Dead Rising? Burnout Revenge? (wait a couple weeks for) Gears of War???

 

Don't know which one yet. Maybe Perfect Dark Zero. Loved the original on the N64. I'm gonna give GR: AW more time though.

PDZ isnt like PD at all IMO, its more like a overly glossy average at best FPS with some jet packs.

 

i couldn't get into GRAW either when i got it free with my 360 so i swapped it for oblivion

[Mikey]

I noticed you added me to your friends list mate. At the moment, I only have GR: AW for my 360, but I have some original Xbox Live games like GR2, GR2 SS, RS3, RS3 BA, Halo 2, and PGR2.

 

Thanks for the heads up on Perfect Dark Zero. I heard is was disappointing.

Well well well, Nov 22nd. XBOX Live Marketplace will be gaining an online TV and movie download service with another small update.

I personally enjoyed pdz more than the original, I think its because it looks fantastic on my tv and everything is shiny.

 

However I have smackdown this week, then GoW, then Viva Pinata whenever that comes out

Half Life 2 360 gameplay vid

 

Valve have to re-take their pictures for certain areas of land used in Half-Life 2. This is because their original photos are too low resolution to take advantage of the triple core processor and graphics card. Although Half-Life 2 came out in 2004, it still has decent graphics to this date. But Valve want to up the anty and produce a breathtaking new experience for 360 owners. They have released a clip of gameplay from the new game for the 360.

But it won't be available in the the uk and we all know america has better choice of tv programs and movies i would want on my 360

[Owen]

Only for USA. Just like I-Tunes really...where Europe have to wait till early next year for downloadable movies....

 

Anyway, talking of movies has anyone preordered the HD-DVD drive? I stupidly preordered with Amazon, but i was one of the first i believe, not sure wherever to trust the estimated dispatch date or not though, have to wait and see...

Most are £14.99 on play.com! £30 is to much for one movie...but not a box set.

It's not long.

 

Ive played Gears of war and it is a very very good game, i thought the framerate might be a proplem but its spot on.

[Guest Stefkov]

Plugging in my external HDD, and looking around, i realised that i could take a picture off the HDD and put it as a background, now iknow how that guy in the video i posted a while back did it. I now have that zelda image of link on horseback as the background. Thats temporary, I'm gonna make one that fits ontot he full screen.

Sony has issued a statement criticizing its rival Microsoft's TV and movies announcement, arguing that it cuts out Core system users, who will not be able to store the content, thereby splitting the user-base.

 

Microsoft's TV and movie downloads are available to owners of the higher-priced (and more popular) version of Xbox 360, but not to Core system owners who do not have a hard drive. A spokesperson for Sony offered, "PlayStation 3's content is designed for everyone to enjoy right out of the box, no matter which configuration you purchase. We would never segregate or shut out any of our consumers from our entertainment experience because they didn't buy the top of the line system. Both PlayStation 3 versions available on November 17 include hard drives for downloading content."

LMBO, good idea! I was gonna post them earlier but thought it pointless due to the lack of translation. Anyone have any idea when that is getting a western release?
