The 360 thread!

I liked that Call of Juarez demo. Something about the setting appeals to me, and I found it nice to use six-shooters to take out those varmits. The preacher's voice made me think of Johnny Cash's, although the justice he deals out is perhaps more Clint Eastwood's. I think the full game has horses too, which sounds like a good way to check out the scenery over yonder. I know it's been out for a few months now, but after trying the demo I think I'll get this one.

I played it on the pc for a bit but the sneak sections are pants and contrived and it put me off playing further, having said that itll be a lot cheaper now in the shops since its been out a while... but i havent got darkness or bioshock yet and stranglehold and halo3 soon as well .. order of prefs...
I still think a cowboy RPG could be a neat thing though...

I played Call of Juarez on the PC, and it's absolutely fantastic.
The Reverend Ray character is one of the best videogame characters of recent years; reminds me a lot of the Saint of Killers from Preacher.

Sure, the other character's sections are a bit wishy-washy in comparison, but it's worth it to just to get another chance to play as such a badass in the Rev's sections.

I'm guessing this could play quite nicely on the 360 too thanks to the dual triggers.

Incredibly pretty game too. Really captures the setting.

5th September: Cyberball 2072 (400) and Fatal Fury Special (400)

And a half-price 'sale' - sort of - as well this coming weekend only. Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe (down to 400), Gauntlet and Dig Dug (down to 200).

Looking forward to seeing that lot squished into the subject

Cool! Cheaper games are always welcome. One of the downsides to digital distribution is the permanently-fixed price point. No secondhand market, no bargain bin -- til now. I'm all over Small Arms for 400 points. I have everything else!

I hope this is a trend that will continue! New Arcade games on Wednesday, a selection of half-price Arcade games on the occasional weekend. I buy almost everything as it is, and this will lower the barrier even more.

Might just be a back to school special sort of thing.

SoR2 seemed a bit pants compared to SoR, but that might just be looking back in fondness thinking ...

I suggest '360 updates/demos: MoH+SoR2+PF+CoJ+Cb2072+FFS+SA+ZD+G+DD'.

What's that in eV per mol?

There's a TimeShift demo up now it seems, so need to add an extra 'TS' into that subject text somewhere.

Edit: There's an NHL 08 demo too. No more room!

Is this the old TimeShift with the Slow | Pause | Rewind indicators (the old PC demo), or the new TimeShift with the 'context sensitive time button'?

Gabingo: it's the new one

Too bad Mike. "Oh man!"

This sounds promising

http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/micr ... ds-divx-a/

This might be our first hint that the leaked fall Dashboard update details containing Xvid/Divx support might be onto something.

I'm hoping MS do decide to port this extender revision to the 360. It would make sense. As a movie format WMV hasn't exactly set the world on fire and streaming divx would give a certain segment of the console buying population more reason to buy a 360 than a PS3. I'd certainly make use of it.

What's the new DLC for Bomberman? - They only released some a couple of weeks ago!

EDIT:
And it'd be nice to have a couple of new tables for Pinball FX too whilst we're about it!...
