The 360 thread!

[Bubba]

Was gonna post about this - it certainly fills in the desperate thing, although I suppose if casual gamers want it then MS should be doing all they can to get them on board what with the Wii currently dominating that market.

It's ironic really - Microsoft have the best platform for casual games in the form of XBLA - I mean come on have you tried downloading a Wiiware title recently?!. What they really need to do however is fix the damn interface, shoot the hardware engineers in the legs until they can build one which isn't made of soggy wet string and roll the wireless adapter into the console. A ThreeSixty with a new case design, integrated Wireless and a 60gb hard drive would be all they need to shake off the wanky reliability issues, I hope someone is working on it otherwise MS really have shot themselves in the foot...

Cheers

has anybody here bought 'aces of the galaxy'? just wondering if it gets more exciting than the demo, which i found a bit 'meh'.

i mean, its not bad it just lacks the level design and charm of starfox (its obvious inspiration)

Everyone else loves Aces of the Galaxy, but it left me cold. I sunk much more time on Novastrike on PS3, which is a ton of fun despite being much too difficult for its own good. Buy a PS3 and play that instead.

That sums up my feelings perfectly. Aces of the Galaxy looks great, but does nothing for me, whereas Novastrike is great fun even if the easiest difficulty kicks my arse.

'ello 'ello 'ello, wot's all this then?

[chub]

In case anyone's not been looking, there are some new demos on XBLM, namely Lego Indiana Jones, Top Spin 3 and Prizefighter. Downloading now...

No online multiplayer, apparently.

[Flabio]

If you've got it on Dreamcast I'd say don't bother. Wait for SC4.

Unreal Tournament 3 is out
Finally people will know what my gamertag actually is.

Supports dedicated servers as well, apparently. The UT's since UT 1 haven't convinced me - theres too much decent multiplayer games out there.

[Bod]

Is UT any good then?

[Anders]

The first UT was good, but I can't stand the clown weapons that shoot snot and balls of light anymore or the endless "industrial" themed maps.

Well I'm enjoying it. Haven't taken it online yet though 'cos I'm shit. Exploding bots into kibble is fun enough.

[shock combo]

What playing bots is boring or frustating depending on the difficulty,
The weapons are pretty balenced so online is pretty fun, you respawn straight away anyway.

If you fancy a game send me a message.

Schizoid and Golf: Tee It Up on XBLA Wednesday:

http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/ ... 59812.aspx

Schizoid's the first title developed in XNA to make it on to XBLA. It's rather pretty and worth a look if only so you can fry your brain with the Uberschizoid mode - a single player mode with both ships controlled on one pad.
