Oblivion's next on my hit list, I just cant get into it at the moment, too much walking around not doing much. Think I'm too used to Jap RPGs :/

You can always use fast travel to get to where you need to go (assuming you've been there before). When you get a horse it makes travel in the open so much better, and you find a lot of dungeons/mines/castles if you're on horseback as well

Heh I had a panic last night.
Was hooking up my 360 to my parents's pc to show my Dad some of the games. Plugged everything in and turned it on, red circle of doom

Thought 'aaaaargh' while my Dad's still asking me loads of questions.
Then realised one cable wasn't plugged in completely so thought I'd try it, worked.....phew.
Was worried I'd killed it on my drive to Swansea.

Really? I gotta be honest here and say I tried NG and just couldn't hack it. I'm clearly not the man I should be

So I got NGB and loved it, even if I did need the help of a girl

Didn't realise there was that big a difference. I thought it was just NG + easier mode + downloads.

With Ninja Gaiden you get the standard game with three difficulty levels (normal, hard, very hard), plus the ability to download both Hurricane Packs which are implemented differently to NGB (there is a block move called Intercept on the Ninja Gaiden Hurricane Packs which isn't there on NGB for example).

With NGB you get the updated enemies from the start, plus the extra weapons (Lunar, Smoke Bomb), and the large jump in difficulty in the harder levels (fighting some of the new enemies without Intercept is very difficult indeed!). The Hurricane Packs are there to an extent, but harder as well without the Intercept (I find Hurricane Pack 1 on NG to be stupidly easy now).

wonder what I could get for my stuff in the other place...?

I've not played most of these over BC so I don't know if any of them run slowly or not (I do remember reports of NG, Fable and Star Wars all being a little slow), but they're the games I'd recommend the most.

I can confirm that these two do run very slow at times, normally during combat, which spoiled both games for me. This is the only reason I've kept my original Xbox, just for these games.
