Smitherman

Wolfmother has pulled out according to the website, Killswitch Engage are their replacements.

Prefer Killswitch myself, so not too disappointed about it.

How easy is it for someone who isn't much into computer games to play? My girlfriend really liked Mario Kart, but she isn't exactly the best at console games, would she fnd it easy enough to get involved?

There really isn't much to it, just standard kart racing fare. If she liked Mario Kart then I can't see why she wouldn't like this.

Was thinking of picking this up. Just a quick question though, is it possible to have 2 players splitscreen and then both race against others on Xbox Live?

Didn't see an existing thread for this, so thought i'd start one.

The demo was released last week and it seems to be getting some pretty mixed reviews, mainly due to the fact that it only features online deathmatch and finding a game has been problematic, especially on PS3. I downloaded the demo on the 360 and I was impressed although the graphics aren't as good as seen in some recent games. I'm particularly looking forward to the 3 seperate campaign modes. It might not end up being a classic, and maybe the online modes wont compare to those seen in CoD, but I think it will be enough to keep people entertained for a while.

Thoughts?

I suck entirely at flying n'shit but I think I'm done for now unless someone wants to play.

I crashed a plane attempting to take off, it was rather embarassing . I might be on later, or tomorrow if you wanna add my gamertag (in sig).

I have got it but not played it much because of the servers being down during its release, but I enjoyed the little time I played it even though i suck at it.

I'm really enjoying this game although I got to 'Superstar' level on Legacy Mode, wasn't concentrating and pressed retire by accident. Now I have to start all over again

Destruction Derby was pretty good and alot of fun

My bad didn't see this lol

Anyone played this yet? I downloaded the demo on xbox live wasn't particularly thrilled with it. For those unaware its by the makers of Star Wars Battlefront (which I loved), so I was looking forward to it based off that. What do you lot think of it? Worth a buy?

Smitherman you on now? Fancy a friendly?

Can be, add us

think I need to learn to break teams down better... sooo much harder on this than Pro Evo ever was.

Same here, i've only been playing Fifa since christmas after being a Pro Evo guy and I'm finding it hard to adapt (still no excuses for my poor display). In my game against AD it just seemed as if i was running into his players and basically giving them the ball.

Not trying to be biased or anything but it was a fairly routine win in all honesty

Understatement...I was absolutely shocking. You should have scored at least 15

I have a feeling i'm gonna get destroyed here, should have thought my team choice through a little more

Smitherman - Bolton

Tag is BWFC619

I'd be up for it too

Mario Jardel (For Bolton). Got built up as this Golden Boot winner etc, and turned up as on overweight slob who couldn't score for shit.

You don't happen to be Sammy Lee by any chance?

The way things are going...you'd certainly think so

Go into like staff upgrades from the main manager mode menu, go to fitness and pay to upgrade it to 10.

Ah right. Thanks alot

Upgrade your fitness to 10. First thing I do every game.

Thanks, how do I go about doing this? (only got it for christmas , so still learning)

I'm playing as Bolton Wanderers in manager mode and getting massacred every game, pretty much on the verge of getting fired. The problem is that my team just keep getting knackered and I don't have a big enough squad to apply a good rotation system, plus the transfer window is closed. Any help?

It was great when it first came out but now it just seems like the sketches just revolve around a catchphrase or the exact same thing happening, just in a different scenario. If ya get me.

I cant stop listening to either of these songs, and like others have said if 'Cyanide' is the weakest track, then we're going to have one hell of an album on our hands.

There has been a few discrepancies (sp?) with the mastering of the new single over at the Metallica forums, saying that the quality is terrible. Has anyone else had any problems with the quality of the new single?

Yes! We are top of the league, hehe. Shame it wont last long though. I reckon Stoke are gonna have a hard season ahead of them after that.

So next week i'm recieving £250 and im kinda in a predicament over which console to buy. I've seen a pretty good deal on a Wii (Including Sonic game and Wii Sports) for £179.99, or an XBox 360 Arcade for £149.99. Trouble is the money that i'll have left will have to last me for another fortnight. With the Wii, the positives include getting games included which will keep me entertained until the next wage when i will be able to afford Mario Kart, which is one of the only reasons i'd be buying the console in the first place but on the flipside there's a serious lack of games that interest me and i'd only really be entertained with the multiplayer, so eventually it would probably just be an ornament.

With the XBox, the console itself is cheaper, but there are no games included and i wont be able to realistically afford any until the next time i get paid (3 weeks time). Grand Theft Auto IV and XBox live are the main reasons i would be buying it, but eventually I would have to fork out more money on a harddrive, XBox live subscription fees and various other things to get the maximum XBox 360 experience.

It may appear that i'm answering my own question and swinging slightly towards the 360, but i'm curious as to what you would do if faced with a similar situation. (Feel free to promote the PS3 if you think that might be a better option, but i hadn't considered it at this stage)
