I didn't even know there were child accounts. What if you just change your age to 18?

 

According to UPS tracking my xbox hasn't even left England yet ¬_¬

Fable 2 video

There's probably a Fable thread but it's long gone.

This game looks fantastic. I've watched the 5 video diaries on the marketplace and some of the stuff looks to make this game really shweet.

According to the GT forums Halo Wars and Alan Wake are delayed till 2009.

Well, we have more than enough being released in 2008, plus both those games could do with extra development time IMO, they will be all the better for it, hopefully...

[Domstercool]

So I did it. I bought Rock Band fort £37.99 and manage to get the Drums for £44.99. Cheapo Rock Bandish! I already have two guitars on my 360 and those work with Rock Band, thank god for that. I'll just pick up a cheapo microphone sometime in the future!

[Dyson]

[S.C.G]

6. Calibration options for motion sensor devices.

 

Seems the rumours were true then, unless they count that crappy camera as "motion sensing".

[Calza]

Nah I reckon thats fake, there is far too much stuff on it that I doubt Microsoft would put in the update.

[Gizmo]

Hoping thats true, it's got the three things I want;

 

 

2. Option to promote Child Account from Family Settings.

11. Option to remove payment information from gamertag.

[McMad]

Oh for fuck sakes, I wish they'd just release that damn game!!

 

Ah fuck! It was announced back at E3 2005 as well!

[Dante]

Bayonetta (PS3/360)

- Directed by Kamiya

- The main character is the witch Bayonetta

- The gameplay theme of the game is "Climax Action" where you use both martial arts and weapons to fight

- Weapons are equipped on both hands and both feet

- You fight angels

- It will feel like a "different kind of action" compared to both DMC and Viewtiful Joe.

[Hellfire]

DMC with a hot chick then. I suppose the game is in early stages though, since they're only showing CGI.

[Marshmellow]

Rumored 360 Spring Update

 

Microsoft already commented on it...but it sure would be awesome if the Spring Update included all those, if not at least most of them. The 360 would be absolutely amazing with those updates.

[Owen]

Oh for fuck sakes, I wish they'd just release that damn game!!

 

I'm actually quite annoyed myself...getting a little stupid now...espicially as we have been shown hardly anything for at least a year...

[Guest Jordan]

You know, we do have E3 coming up... :p

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

I need a new game to get engrossed in now I've finished GTA. Is Viking any good?

[Hero-of-Time]

I need a new game to get engrossed in now I've finished GTA. Is Viking any good?

 

I was dabbling with getting that aswell seeing as its 25 quid in GAME. My brother got it on the PS3 and said it was pretty good. He says its a basic hack and slash and told me to pick it up as I loved N3.
