I detect a gauntlet being thrown down, you are aware Rocky, Ely, Sickboy and myself are all pretty handy at this game. :wink:

Background downloading, queued downloading of up to 6 things and automatic pausing during online play anyone?

End of May apparently :D

Hehe. When we were developing Syndey 2000 I ended up playing it till my fingers bled. Along with Athlete Kings.

You probably are better than me though, havn't been able to look at the thing in years :)

I just watched that trailer and it's wonderful. It looks like he's using a lightsabre to kill zombies in one scene. :) I sure hope this game turns out good.
Did you see the bit where a zombie has a shower head stuck into him, raining blood down on himself? Zombie comedy gold.

Dead Rising and Lost Planet are looking like potential system sellers to me, gameplay wise they both look right up my street.

I played the Lost Planet demo some more last night, and it is looking really promising. Really shows off what the machinne is capabale of, much better than most other games I have seen.

Being able to jump in and out of mechs is smart as fuck too.
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

Couldn't find any mention of this using the search, so will post it here.

Black is now* on the backwards compatibility list and plays okay (AFAICT). 8)

Bought the game today: 8O :D 8)



* 'Now' meaning it appeared on the list at the beginning of April, but I hadn't looked at the list since the March update. :oops:

Just found out that Lost Planet isn't released until January 2007. Balls. I'd almost convinced myself to buy a 360 today for that.

Why demo a game that's so far away from release?

Yeah, but I'm so shit at gaming I couldn't get past the bit where you first land on the planet and wave after wave of enemies arrive. :oops:

I doubt I'll get very far in Black either. :roll: :lol:

Did you make sure you had the game on Easy difficulty? I've found the range of difficulty in Halo's selection unrivalled - going from pretty damn easy to "oh my god, make it stop!" if you play on legendary.

Lovely game...

Yes, on easy, but I'm not surprised I find it difficult, due to my general cackness. :D

Couldn't get past the first boss in Ninja Gaiden and similarly in Jade Empire.

Maybe Xbox games are designed for the 'slightly better than shit' player? :roll: :lol:


Little-known fact:

I used to be a member of the UK Dentists gaming clan:

http://www.ukd-clan.co.uk/

and we excelled at being really shit at games such as Operation Flashpoint and Ghost Recon.

My average life expectancy in GR was about 5 seconds on average. :roll: :oops: :lol:

Most kills in one GR game: about 4, all friendlies. :oops: :lol:

Not suprised about Ninja Gaiden - that game is *fucking hard*! Try giving Halo another go some time, it really is a wonderful game and once you get the hang of it it isn't too hard.

You're gonna find Black to be a frustrating nightmare, based on that. Good luck.
