How come I cant tell what my friends are playing or what that game is in the foreground as it has generic cover ?

I thought the 'generic' Xbox cover just meant that they were only using the dashboard (not playing games or watching videos, etc.)

That is what it has been for me. Otherwise it has been showing the box art for whatever game they are playing when I look at it.

If you like golf it's well worth checking out Easy Golf in the community games. Looks like a nice little golf game, but also comes with an integrated course editor that looks pretty powerful. However since the demo times out after a few minutes it's not ideal for gauging how easy it would be to knock up a half-decent course. Worth a look though.

I'm looking forward to trying that as I'm a sucker for any golf game and that looks like one of the better Community Game efforts, but the enforced 4 minute trial limit is a killer. It's far too short to even get a feel for some of the simpler puzzle games and it's made some of the other trials pointless for me as you don't even have time to get through the instructions or tutorials.

I hope Microsoft increase it quickly, because right now it's helping neither the customer or the developer.

It's very sensitive to Live being up and fully functional isn't it. I've seen it stall horribly a couple of times when it was obviously waiting for something online. Oddly, it seems even worse in the new popup blades thing. Not super impressed by that bit!

I also still have a bunch of codes for one of the Gears 2 themes for anyone who wants them.

Hells yes, if you've still got some!

Just how many codes do you have?

If there's any left I'd love one, please.

I can't get them to work (but others can), so he's probably got one still spare.

It might be US only?

We got around 140 codes at work in and only gave out around 80 or so. I still have 5 more with about another 30 I can get from work. I still have a ton of the golden hammerburst codes for Gears 2 as well.

I wouldn't mind a golden hammerburst code if you still have one. Betamax was lording it over me on Thursday with his fancy shmancy golden lancer.

Bruuuuuuuum!

Aye, I'll take a gold Hammerburst if you have one spare- I like it as a backup gun

I've finally just played the original Gears of War thanks to my nephew who has loaned me the game.

Is it just me, or is Marcus Fenix the same voice actor who does Eeyore?

[Ratsoap]

Bender.
