Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 374

Nice one JSB

Makes such a huge improvement

I ran my 360 with a 19" monitor for a good year and a half and it was soooooo much better than a regular TV

And nice one Burble

Eurogamer hands on with Saints Row 2:

Sounds pretty good. I enjoyed the first one, will hopefully grab this one cheap in the January sales

Or maybe sooner of the price plummets

The first one was a great laugh so hopefully the 2nd one should be as good. I'll probably be getting this in the sales too.

Heh, sounds excellent, looking forward to it more now. Can't remember if it's released before or after my birthday in November, but I'll consider getting it if I've got any money left over from my other eseential purchases (Fable 2, GoW 2).

There's a lot coming in November, and it makes me wonder when we'll see the new dash. The techie in me says that you'd want it deployed and used in anger before November, because you dont want bugs in the dash affecting the big sellers (notably Gears -the new party system should be a great accessory to it). On the other hand, the causal game lineup (Scene It et al), cheap arcade console and a more consumer friendly interface is a great marketing bundle to throw at Joe public, so they could use it as a buzz generator when these games hit the shelves.

Woo I've got a copy of Infinite Undiscovery on the way to review \o/ \o/
First time I've ever had a game to review that I've been planning on buying anyhow!

*is happy*

At the moment I'm working on 1King Halo, it's holding my attention well and it'll stop me spending monies

In reality, there were 2 bastard online achievements I thought I'd be left with after finishing all the campaign ones - but I persisted and worked on one tonight and unlocked it with my last round in my last game

Double Kill with a single Spartan Laser shot in ranked free for all

Other one is Overkill - 4 kills within 4 seconds of each other. That one will take some luck but if I can bag that the rest are a matter of time really.

Haly · 12-09-2008, 23:11

Nice one

They seem pretty good achievements to aim for, not too easy but not impossible either.

Re Infinite Undiscovery: Who on earth thought 'let's start out in a fairly dull prison, then make the first main area a pitch black forest'?!
Still fingers crossed, the first hour of an RPG is usually pretty dull
