I borrowed a copy of Gripshift for the PSP, and all it really made me do was notice how many ways Rollcage was better than it. I've got a couple of mates who really like it though, so I guess your mileage may vary.
Yeah all I could think of was Rollcage too. I still manages to get some fun out of Gripshift mind.
Interesting, because they seem to be different games - Gripshift appears to be Super-Monkey-Ball-With-Cars, whereas Rollcage was a racing game. Although Gripshift might have a racing option too, I didn't look that far as I was having too much fun playing it like a platform game.

Steve
Gripshift had a race mode and Rollcage Stage II had a few extra game modes similar to those found in Gripshift too so there are a lot of similarities, they just approach things in a slightly different way.

Yep - it was mainly the Scramble mode of Rollcage Stage II I was thinking of (I'd forgotten it wasn't in the first game). Solo point-to-point races against the clock over tortuous terrain.

If you buy a XBOX 360 HD Drive (can be found for around Â£99) then you now get the 5 HD DVDs free offer that has been going about on some standalone players:

I just got an e-mail advertising the new video rental service and claiming that both GripShift and N+ are "out now".

Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack
Content: Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack
Price: 800 Microsoft Points
Availability: Not available in India
Dash Text: [ESRB: M (Mature) BLOOD AND GORE,MILD LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE] The Heroic map pack contains three new maps, each presenting a totally different play style. Standoffâ€™s symmetrical valley, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types, while Ratâ€™s Nestâ€™s vast, labyrinthine passages bring something quite new to the Halo multiplayer experience â€“ an indoor vehicle paradise, strongly influenced by the Campaign mode ideal for big team battles. Finally, Foundry is the ultimate Forge map â€“ players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, place stairways, walls, bridges and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map they can think of. There are no refunds for this item.

Will probably buy them but they are taking the piss with the price

The pack will be released for free in a few months. I'm waiting until then.

Yep. Honestly I'd probably pay 100 points for them but at 800 they're seriously taking the piss.

Looking at the site it seems they're adding a lot of fun stuff to forge though. Footballs!

Hmm, they're being a bit stingy with what ones we can choose:

I wouldn't pick Full Metal Jacket. According to reviews it's the worst transfer ever. Wait for the deluxe edition with the good picture quality.

Bollocks. You'll never guess what I picked and haven't even had time to open yet...

Wow, and I thought our choices here in the US kinda sucked for the 5 free movies. At least they were better than my choices for the free blu-ray ones I get with the PS3.

Were they Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Spiderman 3?

Surprisingly they weren't. Not any Spiderman movies on there at all.
