Chuck Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 NEWS Bioshock would have promised a limited edition with the addition of 5,000 signatures to their online petition. They have little under 18,000 now, so it seems to be all systems go.

Bluejay Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Gamestation in-store deal; £319.99 (could have been £314.99?) - 360 Premium - Extra Wireless Controller - Lost Planet - Gears of War - Rainbow Six: Vegas - Need for Speed: Carbon I rung my local gamestation to ask about bundles and they offered Premium + GRAW + Gears of War for £300. Maybe it varies from store to store. I have ordered the secret magic bundle from the gamestation website, which is downright awesome, (GoW + Crackdown + PGR3 + WWE + XBL Unplugged + Premium and 2 controllers for £300!!!!) I'm anticipating its arrival now, anyone had any experience with gamestation.co.uk's shipping or courier service btw? How quick is it? is a tuesday arrival realistic? Which 2 games would you guys reccomend to go with Crackdown and Gears. I'm thinking Dead Rising and GRAW or Virtua Tennis. Any others I should consider?
Charlie Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 New Halo 2 Maps on April 17th! "It's true! here's the digest version: Two new maps, both available on April 17th through the Halo 2 downloader in the game itself, and it's just $4 for the pair.The maps ar Tombstone and Desolation - remakes of Hang 'Em High and Derelict, respectively. Go look at 'em right now: New Halo 2 Map Shots! It's an original Xbox download, so there's no way to use MS points - and you WILL need an Xbox Live Gold account to download and play, since the original Xbox (even in BC mode) can't tell the difference between gold and silver. But you CAN use these on 360, just so we're clear. You just need to use a credit card for the purchase, instead of marketplace points. We'll have LOTS more info in the update later today, and in the meantime, here's the full text of the press release: HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER MAPS REVEALED Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios today confirmed the upcoming release of two new, eagerly awaited downloadable maps for “Halo® 2.” The maps will be available as premium downloadable content for Xbox® and Xbox 360™ on April 17. Fans of the original “Halo” have long requested the addition of some of their favorite maps to the critically acclaimed multiplayer experience of “Halo 2.” These re-creations, developed by Bungie and Certain Affinity Inc., are a perfect way to thank fans for their support as they surpass 800 million hours of “Halo 2” gaming on Xbox LIVE®. The two maps will bring new life to ancient battlefields and legendary skirmishes, as both are new, improved and redesigned remakes of fan favorites from the original “Halo: Combat Evolved.” For the price of $4 for the pair, these maps bring a fresh burst of action to the seminal “Halo 2” online multiplayer experience. Both of the maps will be available through the “Halo 2” in-game content downloader for both Xbox and Xbox 360.* The king of “Halo” maps has returned at last. Hang ’Em High, arguably the most popular multiplayer map for the original title, has been reimagined for “Halo 2” as Tombstone, with all-new graphics, features and a few hidden surprises. Now fans will enjoy the dangerous catwalks and trenches that made this the most requested “Halo” multiplayer map ever, with a modernized “Halo 2” flavor. The second map, Desolation, is a symmetrical, Deathmatch-oriented map and a beautiful remake of the original Derelict. With new graphics and effects and a massive gameplay overhaul, the old favorite is now faster-paced and more balanced than ever — perfect for intense “Halo 2” combat." http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=certainaffinitymaps Not sure if this has been posted already. When was Bungie.net redesigned?

That Guy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I'm still not sure whether to get Guitar Hero or not. I mean it looks really cool, but I'm usually crap at these music games unless I really 'get' the song. How hard is Guitar Hero?

Its a hell of alot of fun though, even on easy.
Domstercool Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Until you've got upto hard/expert, then easy is just boring arse shit man!
Noodleman Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I feel like such a geek, ive been playing Oblivion pretty much for the last 5 1/2 hours. I havent even done that much just a couple of caves got 2 mage guild recomendations and cured the invisble people. Just leveled up to level 3 though and im going to kick some witches ass. Then I might go do the main quest for a bit.

Oblivion and GRAW, can get em both in the 2 for £40 deal at Argos Oblivion is amazing, just wasted another evening of my life playing it. 30 hours in and ive only closed one Oblivion Gate (Kvatch), is that bad going?
Marshmellow Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Def Jam Icon is the shit. And I must of missed something because where did Hero of Time go?
KKOB Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Just leveled up to level 3 though and im going to kick some witches ass. Then I might go do the main quest for a bit. not sure i like the leveling system in Oblivion, namely how all the enemies and general bad guys also level up according to your level to maintain the challenge. its a bit weird lol anywho Oblivion is the best single player game on the 360 still, a year after its release and i'm still loving it, even if not that far into it yet, easter shall sort me out as will the allure of the extra content on XBL inc. shivering isle
The Bard Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 There's a Dimebag Darrell award? Haha, that's amazing. RIP.
Stocka Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 Finally completed all the challenges on Worms and got all the achievements. My god that got frustrating towards the end, took a lot longer to do than I was hoping. Anyone know what the next big XBLA games are btw?
That Guy Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Its extremely hard to master.Its a hell of alot of fun though, even on easy. I may get it then, even if I never play it on hard. Finally completed all the challenges on Worms and got all the achievements. My god that got frustrating towards the end, took a lot longer to do than I was hoping. Anyone know what the next big XBLA games are btw? No ones really playing Worms that much are they? After all the fuss, it's kinda been forgotten about. Anyone up for a Live weekend next weekend? Gears, PGR3, Halo 2, Worms etc.?
