Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 355

I know exactly what you mean Pete it took me 4 attempts to actually kill the damn thing. All in all a great demo and certainly a game I plan on playing, whether I'll start my rental again to play it or buy it I don't know, but it certainly looks promising.

Part of the problem is that you can keep on attacking it, but then accidently stand in the wrong place and it kicks off the scripted sequence. You have to hit x, a, x in a matter of seconds. Theres just no time to respond. That happens too often and distracts from trying to kill it. Also its annoying you can't force push it off a ledge, despite you can everything else and the fact that it should fall off. Its annoying that they go to such lengths to put physics in and then say "Oh well you can push this guy off but not a giant machine that would fall over if a child sneezed next to it."

I kept falling off the edges after stringing a series of attacks together.

I really liked that demo, and found the walker quite easy to kill. I guess my experience on God of War 1 and 2 gave me plenty of practise for the button sequence as I did it first time no bother. Great fun just picking people up and seeing how far I can throw them. This one is definitely on the "must rent or buy" list.

Yay for more TF2 \o/

I heart it so.

I must pick up The Orange Box again sometime and give TF2 another go. It's had a lot of updates since I last played and I remember the main problem was it felt so laggy which should be fixed by now.

And the rest! Iirc you never really got started with it

£20 in Gamestation atm. Lot of gaming hours for £20 that.

I've never really been able to get into HL2

Played it on both PC and the 360 and just not been fussed :/
Portal was good from what I played though

I was the same Jen, didn't really give a hoot about the story but soldiered on.
