Something about that first screen looks iffy but oh I hope it's coming soon. I have fonder memories of Duke than I do of Doom!

Me too. Doom was that game I saw some people play a bit. When I got a PC one of the first games I got was Duke Nukem 3D. I just missed out on Doom. I can still remember the first level. Hitting space till it broke offering the hookers money to "shake it baby." Someone in the comments does make a funny point. We could just download it and play it now

But not 2gevva!

Never got the chance to play it co-op because I never even knew what LAN stood for back then, let alone knew how to cook one up!

Anyone here got GRID yet?

I have the use of a shiny 360 for a while and have GH3 and Grid at the moment. Would be up for some multiplayer when I can finally put GH3 down!

On a related note, I got the 360 on Saturday and by Sunday night I had completed GH3 on medium (not to any great standard, but got the credits etc). I have gone and 5*'d every Easy track, which took me one play through of every track (

) and am now trying to 5* every Medium track. Why oh why is Hard SUCH a step up from Medium? It seems that Easy to Medium is a bit of a step but Medium to Hard is a leap.

2 reasons for that Martin - the extra speed, and the additional finger needed. It's definitely the biggest jump as the jump from Hard to Expert is just extra notes and extra speed.

Will need to practice some more then

You got Grid and/or fancy some online stuffs sometime? I rescued my old gamertag so I am back on Live

Davey_Pitch · 10-07-2008, 11:35

Not got Grid yet, it's on my rental list so it's just whether I'll get it soon or not
