Patters

Fuck all of your shit characters. It is all about Abel, Charlie, Ryu, Bison and Cammy.

It's real http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/Das+Inchworm/new-street-fighter-character-revealed--150243.phtml

erm Should have mentioned this earlier but you sorta have to install parts of forza 3 (as far as I understand).

I hope the fix the Shoryuken movements, damn being able to push diagonally down towards the enemy is really shit.

I believe it could be because it doesn't support drop in, drop out gameplay so if playing with a random guy who drops out your game ends.

Yeah that's one f the reasons I haven't bothered with any sim games before, they just don't feel fast, Forza 3 does seem to be better than the others though, the camera isn't always perfectly focused etc.

no, it's the one where you have to do the first 4 sets of firefight on heroic.

I would recomend that anyone who considers themselves good at halo go for the Vidmaster Endure acheivement, it's one of the best cooperative experiences I have had in any game, tough as hell though, as well as taking ages (2 and a half hours). It is really damn awesome, frantic, demanding, adrenaine pumping and did I forget awesome; I doubt I will do it again anytime soon.

Was gonna suggest this.

I may well be up for this dependant on a few factors.

I'm up for it too, I would suggest doing it with cosmetic damage only, knowing how I will likely wreck every car on the track. I really like the game, it's fucking awesome.

Farcry 2 is damn good, but if you don't want to add too much to your backlog I would avoid it, but for a tenner it's a steal. With Mirror's Edge I would definitely reccomend it but others have hated it, if you can appreciate the merits of a game over it's flaws go for it. Whatever you do, do not play through hard with no shots fired, it will make you hate the game.

Have you guys considered getting this package? http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/HARDWARE/XB2LIVESTARTER-Xbox%20360%2060GB%20Live%20Starter%20Kit.html

I play it, and love it. Throw me an invite and I'll play a few rounds.

Hopefully it all goes well and the wife has a speedy recovery.

Not in Europe yet, it's out in October, apparently the discs are one for the Hub and another for the missions. EDIT: the song you guys used really reminds me of Hotel Dusk.

So I was listening to a load of podcasts including some that complain about the endings to games. So I just wondered what endings to games people have really enjoyed. Some of mine include: Skies of Arcadia: because the ending just felt right, it fit perfectly with the characters, as well as showing the rebuild after a few events which occurred in the game. Beneath a Steel Sky: with the characters and story it all worked perfectly for me. Full Throttle: I shouldn't need to explain this one.

It was in reference to the way you wrote London's pronounciation.

Birmingham?

Nice segment on ODST. I believe the explanations for the flashbacks is that they were recordings on the several screens, which are being controlled by the Superintendant, just you never see it for story telling reasons.

Really you think grid is the most realistic Racing game? One which encourages you to crash and is intrinsically an Arcade racer. With a damage engine which is exaggerated far too much, which is less noticeable on the touring cars (as they have a tendency to fall apart if you look at them) but other cars are much less likely to fall apart because of a slight collision. Also did I ever say that the Damage modelling in Forza 3 wasn't 'barebones' I said it looks cool, if you have a small collision it leaves paint deterioration which looks really fantastic opposed to the paint deterioration in Grid. With Respect to shift I had only used the BMW 135i, when I posted previously, which handles like a real car, unlike those which are faster. It's pretty clear that EA made the Developer (slightly mad studios) ship the game before it's finished to get it out before Forza 3, so hopefully they will release a Patch to combat it. A lot of the features in the game are excellent with a Fuckton of glitches preventing it form being a great game. If you truly believe that it's the worst driving game you have played you haven't played many Driving games. EDIT: Forgot to mention that there has been a set of options which helps the handlng a lot, it's still a little off but better http://forums.xbox.com/1/29123795/ShowPost.aspx#29123795.

It's pretty cool, the easy mode almost feels arcadey, which is a good thing. Medium is more sim like but with auto braking. Damage modelling is really cool, when I crash into opposing vehicles the damage caused looks great.

I listened to all but one on a train journey. It was worth it.

Yeah, I have been redownloading everything from my old 360, with background downloads. It is 1 gb if that helps.

So just a note to you guys, the demo for forza 3 is up. Also Shift is pretty good, not nearly as sim like as forza, closer to PGR 4 with a few sim features.
