The official I Love Games XBOX 360 and XBOX LIVE thread!

lots of old skool sega coming to xbla: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=214705

mentioned this over on the what's hot thread. what are some other games tht have been out for a while and weren't reviewed stellarly but are worth the £10-12 they now cost? examples of stuff I've already bought in this vein are battlefield bad co. and kane & lynch

is call of juarez worth a punt? what else? I might pick up assassin's creed too

viva pinata?

hated the call of juarez demo

wait, is kane & lynch actually good? demo did not fill me with confidence.

of course everyone else in the world seems to be loving the UFC game, and as i have mentioned way too many times, i thought the demo for that was poo city.

Mirror's Edge is a tenner now, at least in our stores. I'll probably pick that up this week.

I really liked that, £10 seems about right for how short it is.

kane & lynch is a fun enough knockabout, clunky controls and a dodgy framerate. not worth £40 but I picked it up for £7 and it ws perfect value for money

ws gun good?

played gun on str8 xbox and really enjoyed it, assuming 360 version is exactly the same, but same not bad is prob a decent enough endorsement.

suxxxx xbox ogs don't work over vga else I'd psychonauts :(

I'm trying to put all my video files on a mini drive and attach that to my 360 and it doesn't seem to be working. It's a 250gig Maxtor one touch; anybody with more tech sense than me know how I can just set up an additional drive beside the 360 to house all my video files?

What's not working? Is the 360 not recognizing the drive, or not recognizing the video files?

It's not recognizing the drive. Won't even come up as a portable device.
I've tried a 250 gig and a 1.5 tb. Is there a limit on how much it can recognize?

Works fine with an 8gig flash drive for instance

Do you use a Mac?

(Could be a formatting issue.)

nope, PC. Can anybody who has a working drive attached to the portable drive usb slot on the front of their 360 tell me what the make is?

My nephew has a Western Digital that I gave him that I know for a fact works. I think I gave it to him formatted FAT32 because I was using it on a old linux/XP dual booting machine.

My WD 250g drive is picked up fine by mine, I think it failed first time, but after that - no problems.

Sky online tv service coming to Xbox! probably cost far too much money, but a nice idea.

what if you already have a sky subscription?

I expect it'll work the way it already works on PCs - if you've already got sky then the stuff you'd have access to anyway is free. If you don't, subscriptions are minimum £7.50 a month.

Hold on - that was a pre-January price, it's actually £15 a month minimum.

So yeah, too much.

is there anything i should do before my free month of xbl gold expires? is it just for multiplayer, pretty much?

and demos, yes.

you still get demos without, just not as quickly.

I probably have a month free code lying around somewhere, if you'd like it jordan? I'll take a look and let you know

perfect dark xbla 1080p 60fps

fuck yeh

perfect dark was soooo laaaaame

only lasting thing i got out of it is saying "haven't been round here before" whenever i go somewhere new

litmus test imo

trials HD xbla confirmed

and netflix instant watching

man i tried netflix on the xbox last night and the picture quality was basically unwatchable. i'm guessing it's because my dsl was slow via wireless router, or something? because when i watch on my computer it's just fine.

Yeah, that's on your router or cable company. I watched The Orphanage a few nights ago in HD and I'm connected wirelessly.

I have my 360 connected to my wireless router via wire, and it works great.

XBL is some dangerous shit. i mean i almost paid $10 to download Doom last night.

Might as well do it, come on.

am i the only ilg dude getting chumped by an obsession w/ playing 1 vs 100

I want to play it but it never seems to be on, or I miss it, or etc.

i played it a few times but yeah, i keep missing it due to not being awesome at remembering

Doesn't exist here yet, I'm looking forward to it though.

Apparently XBL being down today also means Media Centre being down, as far as the 360 is concerned. Pretty irritating given that I've just set up a TV card for my media server and now I can't test it.

any decent recent games on xbl i shd think about buying?

i shd be getting xbox #3 over the next couple of days : )

grim fandango for xbla?

1 vs 100 right now

is it worth getting the F3: Anchorage package? i'm not all the way through the original yet so please no spoilers, but I can definitely see me wanting more of this when I am

ive heard that it is the least interesting of the 3, but i still downloaded it because of it being the gold deal of the week (which ends today?)

It's fine, it's pretty interesting really. it's not fallouty at all, it's more like playing Goldeneye in the fallout engine, and that's fun in its own little way.

on a one man mission to pound my way through clearance purchase of F.E.A.R. 2 so I can trade it in on prototype - assuming replay value is like nil, right?
