The 360 thread!

I'm liking Prototype too, took me by surprise to be honest as I've always had this one down as as something I'd play for about 10 minutes then never return to but I'm really enjoying it so far.

I've set myself a little rule whilst playing, when possible, I'll only consume the characters I have to on roof tops, simply because there's something super cool about running up the side of a building with someone flapping about in your hands, it's especially fun when you're dodging military rockets too

It's great fun though, the cynic in me is waiting for the wall running/gliding novelty to wear off but I just can't get enough of it at the moment. I'm also really impressed by the lush sky lines and lighting, it looks stunning at certain time of the day and really hammers home the games comic book stylings and also sets a really nice frame for the action. Top stuff. I've never felt so superhero-y

I'm also really looking forward to The Specialist mission now, just finished the water tower/hive mission last night and that took me two attempts, and i'm playing on easy, like a fag

I think I'm playing on Easy too, but managed the Hive in one go, although I did wonder near the end just how much longer I'd have to survive.

Not done any more of the main story yet, just a couple of side Consume events to get more back story, along with levellling a military base.

One minor niggle is when trying to get into a base under a time limit, trying to find a commander just so I can get in the door can be fucking annoying.

Agree with gravy on the pluses and minuses except for getting in tanks, as I've not had a problem yet.

Haha, yeah, the reason I died on the hive mission was because I got a little carried away and thought I could handle it all with my claws. I got wise and popped in a tank on my second attempt

I've not done any consume events yet but have had ago of couple of roof top race events, they're ok I suppose but I have more fun just jumping about the city hunting orbs to be honest.

Yeah, getting in tanks can be slightly annoying at times but so far I've never found it to take any more than two attempts which I think is a fare trade off as they do come in handy for taking out a ton of trouble. Mashing the button to get in is a a chore tho but I love the dramatic camera angles when you're prising open the hatch.

Ummm that kinda thing sounds very familiar.

Slightly familiar, but the orbs in Prototype don't make any sound, so finding them is a lot harder.

Rocket Riot is out on XBLA next week apparently. This has been on PartnerNet for absolutely ages - and is as mad as a box of frogs. Kind of a real-time Worms-like game, but everyone has a rocket launcher and a jetpack. Well worth a look.

I've been catching up with the recent XBLA releases I've missed, and ended up buying Rocket Riot. I think it's a great laugh, and yeah it is a kind of cross between Jetpac and Worms. I really like the 2D style made of 3D pixels, a bit Super Paper Mario in a way. Oh, and the loads of particles which you get after blowing chunks out of the scenery and enemies.

Nice round number. Not bad seeing I only got it for my birthday in August.

I'm trying to catch up to my nephew who is 16 - trying to see if I have some gaming stamina still.

He's on 26000-ish so I still have a way to go... And just to be difficult he keeps playing games and moving the goal-posts. No fair.

If you want to close the gap (and don't mind some ridicule), there are a few games you can rent to bump the score up quickly...

Avatar is the classic, 1000 points in less than 10 minutes.
TMNT is a very easy 1000, as is King Kong.

It should be noted that none of these three are on my profile. I'm a bit of a gamerscore whore, but I've never bought a game purely cause it has easy points.

I've borrowed a few for some easy points, like Avatar. I don't do it anymore though. Now I just get the games I actually want to play and if I pick up the points, cool. I've stalled just shy of 38000 as I've been playing my PS3 much more lately.

[The Caffeine Kid]

I pretty much get games based on price rather than easy of getting the points.

I have a few games I've not played yet like The Darkness and Vegas. Most of my games I've got for a £5-£8 or less on ebay or in trade ins at CEX.

Although I'm gaming on a budget and don't get to play many current titles (I'm usually a couple of years behind) I'm still having a lot of fun.

Make that your next priority then. It's fantastic and hugely underrated IMO.

Ay, Starbeeze are one of the most underrated devs out there. Rumour has it they're doing the Syndicate reboot, and I can't think of anyone better.

I'm a member there and I suspect my Fusion Frenzy achievements I've just got are not worth much, but never mind.

It's a good site too - lots of helpful hints and helpful people.

Seconded. The Darkness is bloody ace.

We MUST get a multiplayer session on the go at some point though.......
