so will be cancelling that off my list until we get our better TV.

That's what stopping me playing Dead Rising !

Dead Rising's a right pain on a TV, so glad I switched to a TFT.

Coming from the Wii and PS1, never had a console game that has speech instead text dialogue, the games that did that were all on the PC...aka HL2

COD...etc.

Dead Rising started well ok, in the FMV the characters talk and I thought "wonderful !!!", then about 20 mins in he gets a call on his walkie talkie and to my horror it's text only

. No matter how i squint i just can't make out the words on a TV.

Even if you're having trouble reading the text (as I initially did before I upgraded TVs) it's still well worth playing, it's easily one of the best games on the 360 IMO, and it deserves to be played and finished

Take out a Bike on One to One Race

First Corner as well.

The game on a whole

Well the game as a whole I enjoyed though parts of it I simply didn't gel with. The concept, the weapons etc seemed well thought out. It started off really well and I enjoyed the tasks given, etc until I got to the Forrest area and then I just seemed to lose interest. Not sure whether it was the way I was playing (looking in everywhere) or COD4 but I left the game alone for what must have been 2 weeks. Then I started again and it all went great till the end, that to me was the biggest disappointment of the whole game. I just felt it ruined the whole experience. Well ok ruined might be too strong a word but it cheapened it at least.

I also thought the vita chambers cheapened the whole death experience. Towards the end of the game, unless I thought something big was on the way I simply didn't bother buying many first aid kits. Also pretty much the entire way through I didn't like having to kill the big daddies, I don't know what it was but I just felt sad about the whole thing.

Don't get me wrong there were alot of things done right with the game, the plasmids gave the whole FPS an entirely new slant and the tonics worked really well. I loved the camouflage one that got me out of a lot of sticky situations.

For now I'm finished with it so it's in the post. I will rent it again and play through it in a few months when I've forgotten lots of it and can use the guides to get the last few achievements.

I really need next month's games to come out quicker

I don't know why but I just seem bored of the games I've got, and I spend most of my time playing the PES2008 demo. The Orange Box is looking increasingly appealing just as something else to play until PES comes out on the 26th.

Come on mate you can wait 9 days till PES is out
