The 360 thread!

I've just tried the Pacman CE demo, and it's actually really rather lovely. I really like the tweaks to the gameplay - they make it feel quite fresh, and the updated visuals are kinda nice, with plenty of funky special effects. One really small but neat touch is that you strike sparks off the walls when you hold a direction before a turn. I was doing it all the time along straights - bzzzt!

I'm not a big fan of pacman normally, and I was pretty sceptical about this, but the demo has probably done enough to charm 800 points out of me.

It didn't exactly make me want to go and buy it, but with Forza2 already pre-ordered I didn't give it quite as much attention perhaps.

I did comment on it in my PS3 thread, it's terrible that there isn't a decent WRC game on any console now the FIA licence has expired and nobody has picked it up so was really wanting to like Dirt

The handling is just not right at all (after being told the cream of the original CMR team got blagged by Sega last year it does make sense though), feels like I'm playing CMR2 or something and I just went straight back to playing CMR2005 on my xbox, looks ok but I just don't get the handling, ah well maybe Sega will do us proud, they doing Rally for 360 aswell

Grabbed some demos tonight using my Japanese profile.

Vampire Rain: Looks like RE4 crossed with Splinter Cell, but much harder (one bite/hit/touch from a vampire and you're dead).

Eternal Sonata: Linear cute/anime RPG with nice graphics.

Tenchu Z: Does exactly what it says; Swords and stealthy ninja-ing.

Pac-Man Championship is much better than I expected. I really need an arcade stick for it, because the 360 analog kind of sucks for this kind of game and the digital pad just plain sucks, but other than that this is a really fun Pac-Man update. And that's saying something, seeing as I generally dislike Pac-Man.

How the shit do you do that eight-ghosts-in-succession achievement on Pac-Man: CE? Doesn't the first ghost you eat dash back to the hideout and become inedible again? Therefore - maximum of four edible ghosts.

Eat all 4 ghosts - eat another power pill - eat all 4 again ?

That's my guess too!

But... but... you eat four ghosts, eat another power-pill, and then how does it know to keep increasing your score from, er, 1600 to 1800 to 2100 (or whatever)?

Me so confused.

Get the second pill before the timer for the first one expires?
