Xbox 360

Just saw the final design, apparently, of the new xbox this morning at gamesradar.com. It looks quite strange but impressive at the same time. Very futuristic. Can`t wait to get my hands on one of these. It`s just a shame that xbox 1 has had such a short lifespan even though microsoft claim to be supporting it until 2007. We`ll have to wait and see. Roll on xmas time!

Pre-order Street Racing Syndicate on Xbox or PS2 for £17.99

Just spotted this game on sendit.com with free delivery for £17.99. It is listed on play.com for £26.99 and game.net for £29.99 so surely this is a bargain. It is out on the 6th of May. Hope it is a good game. Has anyone played the gamecube version?

RE: Cold Fear - solid!! HELP?

I agree with you. I bought it before resident evil 4 came out thinking it would be something similar but it definately isn`t. What i hated most was the lack of a map. It made things very difficult for you as you didn`t know your present location or where you were supposed to be heading for. Very frustrating.

Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory on Xbox-WOW!!!

Just got this game today for my xbox and I am blown away by it. The graphics are so stunning i thought i was playing an xbox 2 game. My friend brought the playstation 2 version over a few nights ago and it doesn`t even compare to the xbox version. The textures are so realistic you imagine you could touch them. It is so cleverly designed too. Anyone that hasn`t played a splinter cell game before has to try this one. You won`t regret it.

RE: The Amityville Horror Collection Region 1 £16.99.

Don`t mean to be picky here but it is £14.99 at playusa.com + free delivery. Just ordered mine. The sequels are very good too. The 3rd one is the weakest but is still very watchable.

Pre-order Narc on Xbox or PS2 at Play.com for £12.99!

Surely a bargain. Out in May or June according to play.com. It is supposed to be a good game from what i`ve heard. Midway have proven themselves again recently with good releases so hopefully this one will be as good as the others. Worth trying at least at this price.

Pro Evolution Soccer 4 on Xbox for £17.99 at Play.com

Not my cup of tea but i`m sure there are lots of footie fans out there that would be interested in this game especially at this bargain price. Heard that this is one of the best football games around.

Metroid Prime 2 Gamecube: £17.99 at Play.com

Just spotted this bargain on play.com as part of their easter sale. There are lots of other bargains to be had too. Ordered mine. Can`t wait for it to arrive!

Metal Gear Solid 3...what`s the verdict?

Was considering buying this game as I really enjoyed twin snakes on the gamecube but was very disappointed with metal gear 2 as there was more emphasis on watching cut scenes than getting to control the character. Can anyone advise me to what it`s like.

RE: Oddworld: Strangers Wrath - a must buy!

Ordered this game from choices direct on Tuesday for £29.99. Was dispatched the next day. Should be here tomorrow. Can`t wait! It looks like an amazing game. It definately looks like it`s using the full graphics power of the xbox this time. I`ve always been fond of the oddworld games since I played them on the playstation.

He-Man and the masters of the universe game...any good?

Used to watch the tv series when I was a kid and just noticed the video game at play.com for a reasonable £12.99 so I am tempted to get it. Has anyone played it? Is is that price for a reason, i.e:being rubbish.

P.S. Skeletor rocks!

RE: Help with DVD Swap magic

I use dvd-r discs and record them with the freeware program dvd decryptor. Just use the iso read mode and then the iso write mode at the lowest speed to avoid any errors. Lately though I have tried backing up my most recent games and they do not work with swapmagic. I copied Shadow of rome and Sonic mega collection and neither of them will play.

Goldeneye:Rogue Agent £14.99 on xbox

Just spotted this offer at play.com. Xbox version only. I know it isn`t the greatest game but at this price it is worth a look. Rented the Playstation 2 version before xmas and thought it was o.k. Definately nowhere near as good as the Nintendo 64 game though.

Chronicles of Riddick (xbox) £14.99 at play.com

Just spotted this bargain as I visit play.com often. They have plenty of other xbox bargains too like:-

Men of valor for £17.99
Psi-ops for £17.99
Second sight for £14.99

Have a look around at the other formats as there are more great offers. Happy shopping!

The Urbz:Sims in the city £22.99 at Game

Deal of the day. 200 copies in stock. Be quick though. Not sure if i should order it or not. Haven`t heard much about it.

Which dvd recorders can record from an rgb signal?

Please help. I recently bought a bush dvd recorder from argos and I discovered when I connected my freeview box to the scart input it would only record an analogue picture. I went through all of the settings but still it would not record in rgb. I was lucky to get a refund from argos but I am unsure what dvd recorder to get in its place. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Spider-Man 2 - The Game... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got this game on ps2. It is rubbish! Should have known better than to buy a movie tie-in game. The graphics are really awful. Much worse than in the previous game. The missions are boring and very repetitive. I was really looking forward to this game. Again like driv3r it has been a huge disappointment. I will be taking my copy back on monday.

RE: Driv3r PS2 or Xbox?

I want the game to be good as i`ve been looking forward to it for months. Maybe I will open it just to see for myself what it is like. Then if it`s poo i`ll return it!

RE: Driv3r PS2 or Xbox?

I wish I hadn`t ordered it at all now. Unfortunately my copy has been posted. I`ve just read the review on game central and it gave it 3/10. I guess I fell for the hype once again. I don`t think i will even open it when it arrives and just send it back.

RE: Driv3r PS2 or Xbox?

I have just ordered the xbox version. I couldn`t decide either at first but then went for the xbox version just incase it has better graphics and playability. The two versions will probably be exactly the same as i heard that the game was made with the stuntman graphics engine. Most of the games are developed for the ps2 anyway and then ported to the other two consoles. I just hope it is a good game after all this hype. Hopefully it won`t look rushed. I would rather wait for a game to be properly finished.

RE: 5.1 sound for x-box?

I bought the acoustic solutions 5:1set from argos and the sound quality is fantastic! Mine has optical and coaxial inputs. I definately recommend it. Especially at that price it is excellent value.

RE: Gamecube set up

The only RGB cable that works with the gamecube is the official nintendo cable (£20). None of the other cheaper alternatives will give out an rgb signal, only composite (the same as the cable that you are using). As far as i know there aren`t any cables that have both rgb scart and stereo cables. Not for the gc anyway. I have tried them all.

RE: XIII any good?

Thanks jonboy! I will rent it out tomorrow just to see what it is like. I just got a gamecube so i will buy that version if it is better. I played medal of honor last week and didn`t like it. It is very linear compared to frontline. Thanks again.

XIII any good?

Just spotted XIII cheap at various online sites and wondered if it is any good or is it reduced in price for a reason. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also which version is the best or are they pretty much identical. Thanks.

RE: XBOX or GAMECUBE

Buy a gamecube. It has a great range of classic games for kids and grown ups alike. It also has many more exclusives than the xbox (which mostly shares its games with the ps2). The xbox is a nice system too but there are only a handful of games worth playing on it (mainly the sega games). Good luck on your purchase.

RE: Manhunt, anyone played this yet?

I think Manhunt is an awful game. It has no depth to it at all. The gameplay is so shallow. When you think how much gameplay is crammed into GTA this is very poor in comparison. I was really looking forward to this game too. I returned it and got my money back.

RE: PS2 on line (How to connect)

I also would like to know how to connect. I have Bt Broadband running on my pc but there is no ethernet port on the back of the modem they supplied me (BT Voyager 100 USB ADSL). There is only an ethernet port on the back of my pc. Can i still get connected?

Silver PS2 Dvd Region free problems.

Hi! I recently bought a silver Playstation 2 after previously owning an original black model. But when i loaded up my dvd region free xploder disc and went to play a movie the dvd froze and wouldn`t go any further than the title screen. Please can anyone recommend a region free disc that is compatible with the new silver model. The blaze disc also removed the green screen when you used a scart cable which was great as the picture was really clear but it just doesn`t work anymore with this model. Please help! Thanks.
