Fooking hell - what sort of connection are you on?
Got Bioshock and Stranglehold (about 2.6Gb) in under 15 minutes last night.

20Mb Virgin Broadband. ;)

Was actually hoping they would take all night as I had a lot of other things that needed doing!
do you use the wireless adapter or hooked up via etherent?

Winehaus imports wines from South Germany. The Baden-Wurttemberg region makes dry reds and whites, and with its warmer climate, stylistically has much in common with Burgundy.

Hooked up via ethernet. Can't imagine it being any slower over 56k wifi though.

Downloads don't always come in that quick though I think a lot depends how many are downloading at the same time.

MOH Airborne, then. Mohairborne, if you will.

I've never seen such a classy 'meh' game - so lush, yet so shruggable. Call Of Duty 2 still does it 6.7million times better.

Dull as dishwater, as far as I'm concerned. The goalposts have moved, WWII or no.

*cough* Bioshock *cough*
Factory's no place for me, boss man leave me be.

Is there any date for when the Halo 3 demo will be out?

Definately not overly impressed graphically with what little gameplay footage there is for it on GT, it better play better than Lost Planet and Gears to get my $'s so need to try this A LOT :)

War World
Puzzle Fighter II
Definatley be getting Puzzle Fighter II. War World looks like it might be interesting to take a look at as well.
Major Nelson says it's Puzzle Fighter and Streets Of Rage 2 today, so not War World. Is this right?

It's a 3rd person shooter with robots. PC version was decent but it didn't sell very well. So now it's coming to Xbox Live Arcade with improvements to make a decent profit.

Maybe everyone who cares about it already has it on Genesis/Megadrive or Wii?

Who knew that the move list would be this detailed?

Not sure what's going on with it here, but everytime I start the game up it disconnects me from Live so I can access the leaderboards etc :?
