Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 293

Just picked up Forza 2 from argos for £9.99.
Will pop to the local 2nd hand games shop to see how much he's charging for COD4.
Sam's Wii has just arrived as well

(I'm gonna ache on Monday

)

Mick, you could use the 3 months love film membership to get COD4 for now and get it when you have more cash

GHII with Guitar £29.99, bargain if you havent got it

Damn! Expired already.

OK just checked my TV stats and it's only a 50Hz TV.
(It's only about 4.5 years old

)
Forza 2 says it requires a 60Hz one

What would happen if I tried to play it on my current TV?

Does COD4 require 60Hz as well?

EDIT: Just checked a different site and it says my TV is 100Hz so will hopefully be ok.
(This is my TV philips 32pw6517)
I'll have a play and see what happens.
Just off out to pick the 360 up

I can't see anything on the box regarding CoD4 requiring 60Hz

I'm not sure re Forza 2. I know that I've got 1 60Hz game that refuses to play at all without 60Hz but another one that just loads up with a warning that some effects may be distorted, but you can still play it and I've never noticed a difference.

I'm happy. Just had Kingdom Under Fire, LMA Manager 2007 and Cabela's Alaskan Adventures posted out to me from Lovefilm

Fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow so I can have a weekend of scorewhoring

Jhadur · 16-02-2008, 02:08

OK just checked out Forza 2 and it works fine

Phew panic over

Haly · 17-02-2008, 01:17

What did you make of CSI Daz?
I've spent most of the day playing LMA Manager 2007. Admittedly I'm completely scorewhoring it but I'm enjoying it anyhow. Certainly not a patch on the Football Manager series though.
Not too settled with Cabela's Alaskan Adventure. I can shoot all manners of people in games without my conscience feeling unsure, but polar bears.....no

I figure it's because I have good reasons to shoot people in the game usually, polar bears are just too innocent for me

Kingdom Under Fire isn't too bad but definite rental material. It'd be too tedious to pay money for.

Daz · 17-02-2008, 13:11

Same old same old, but that's a good thing

Fourth case was weak but overall it was entertaining and casual. Ideal as an arcade game really if they could fit it into one - I'd finished it in under 5 hours without a guide. Should have done more with the achievements, but at least it's no Avatar!

Showed itself as a quick dirty port once or twice but there have been worse adaptations

Bioshock is beginning to hook me now. It's almost cinematic as a world and story, and the gameplay mechanics are superb.

Bioshock is brilliant

One of those games I'd love to be able to go back to with no memory of the story.
