Have a look at Puzzle Quest as well Mark

Definitely want one of the games, and probably want a second. Haven't seen the other two yet. The two I want work out at 1600 MSP, and at current exchange rates that package works out at 1700 MSP, so it's all down to how much it would cost to get it to the UK as to whether that's viable (I can't find a UK supplier unfortunately).

Speaking of MSP, what's the current going rate? I've seen 2100 MSP in Tesco for £16.71 today.

PS - I picked up Game's own mini media remote for the princely sum of £0 today. Seems like a good deal to me (was half price and I used Game points for the rest).

You can get 2100 points for around £15.

Mark · 20-12-2008, 19:43

Please don't just leave me hanging like that.

(not that I'll be buying before New Year).

NokkonWud · 20-12-2008, 19:53

Oh sorry, I never realised just how unhelpful that was

My local game store, Granger Games sells them for £15 for 2100, but I know there are similar prices online. I'm not really the best person to ask as I have never bought some from a store. The person to ask here would be Abooie who has bought a frightening amount.

As for importing that game, it might not be region free so not sure if that would work. You may have to buy them separately over Xbox Live.

Mark · 20-12-2008, 20:30

They ship to the UK themselves. I should hope the games creator wouldn't ship a game that didn't actually work where they're shipping it to.

NokkonWud · 20-12-2008, 21:58

It's not whether they ship to the UK, it's whether it's region free. Many people in this country have imported consoles.

Thanks. I'll use points then.

Many thanks for the continued help guys. It's really appreciated. I'll buy a round or something appropriate.

PS - Got a bit further in all the games I've played (completed the Bejeweled demo twice now so I'll have to buy that). I'm slowly making progress through Kung Fu Panda. I know it's meant to be a child-friendly game but I'll have to admit I'm struggling. I usually have muchos fun beating the bejesus out of the minions but then I struggle with the bosses. Guess I'll have to stick with the n00b-friendly games then, but I'm not regretting the purchase one bit. I've even gone back over previous levels to collect all the bonuses (and get more 'upgrades').

Everyone's got to start somewhere Mark

None of us were born great at games (except possibly Davey who has the uncanny knack of being good at everything he picks up

) so practice makes perfect.
Main thing is you're enjoying it

Oh and I agree with Daz re Puzzle Quest. If you like Bejewelled, Puzzle Quest is perfect imo.

Mark · 21-12-2008, 02:29

Not sure I've got that on the HDD. I might get in an hour or two tomorrow but then I'll probably quit until the new year. That's when the Gamertag problem has to be solved.

I don't think I'll ever get 'good', but that isn't the point. Having fun and exploring new things is.
