best bit is you can pretty much get everywhere too

I'm trying to find that tower I kept seeing him climb in the videos. The view from there must be astonishing.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at AC once I'm done iwth my current games. Will look at hiring it out

leowyatt · 16-01-2008, 17:22

Aye it was certainly a hire title for me

need to get back to it at some point

Not sure if anyone else is interested but Game are currently doing Fifa 06 RTWC and Fifa 06 World Cup for £2.98 each preowned, and Fifa 07 for £4.98 second hand.
Just picked up the World Cup title and Fifa 07 as I figured it's practically the price of a rental

Also picked up Prey for £7.99 in Gamestation.

Just switched to using the HDMI port for the 360. The colours are more vibrant but that may be because I've been using a 3rd party VGA cable anyhow.
Still, it's worth the £7 for the cable as it's freed up the VGA connection for when I want to plug a PC into it.

The colours seemed ok on the 3rd party VGA cable I had but would like to try out an official one to see if there is any real difference. Anyone got one I could borrow

Haly · 18-01-2008, 17:13

I was always happy with my 3rd party one

It's only now I'm looking and thinking 'oh....maybe it wasn't that good'

Seemed it at the time though.

The colours over VGA are largely considered to be a bit washed out, even with the official cable, which is why they added those reference options or whatever they are in last spring's dash.

In theory it should be a sharper picture over VGA (more pixels), but you wont really notice on screens our size
