The LBTN Express

Games that I've got pre-ordered at the minute:- Madden NFL 2007 (360) Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (360) WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 (360) Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (360) Call of Duty 3 (360) Dead Rising: Limited Edition Steel Case (360) Football Manager 2007 (PC) Mass Effect (360) Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway (360) Too Human (360) Splinter Cell: Double Agent (360) Saints Row (360) Gears Of War (360) Halo 3 (360) Fable 2 (360) Resident Evil 5 (360) Tony Hawk's Project 8 (360) Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 (360) Dead Or Alive Extreme 2 (360) The Godfather (360) Army Of Two (360) Marvel United (360) Didn't actually realise I'd got that many pre-ordered. The 360 has really reignited my passion for gaming. I'd gone off it for long enough in the last year or so with my PS2 and Xbox.

WoundedPrune, I let the random name thingy choose my name. I usually play COD2 online, maybe some GRAW from time to time as well.

I can't wait for the Watchmen movie. Hopefully Snyder doesn't fuck it up, but he seems to have done some good work on 300 so far so it seems to be in good hands. I wish somebody would attempt a Preacher movie. It'd be awesome if they somehow got Clint Eastwood to do it and he played The Saint Of Killers too. Doubt it'd happen though.

Mine runs pretty smoothly with no frame rate drops. The only thing that's slightly subject on mine as I said above is the bit of screen tearing during cut scenes. But this is a four month old build of the game and nowhere near the build of the game they'll have now.

Does anyone really care about backwards compatibility? I never used it on the PS2 and I've never used it on my 360. If I wanted to play the older game I'd keep my older console just like I've still got my Xbox and my PS2 and will be keeping it once the PS3 comes out.

Whaaaaaaat? God of War, Devil May Cry, Jak & Daxter, Twisted Metal Black, FFX, Virtua Fighter 4, Tekken, Guitar Hero, Katamari, Onimusha, Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet & Clank, Mark of Kri, Manhunt, and a ton of other exclusive games/series I'm sure I'm forgetting, didn't do anything for you?

It's best to wait with the sports games at this time of year. They're all still nearly full price and the next versions are due out within the next month or two.

I was hyped about Dead Rising until I learned that you have to actually do the missions because of timers etc and there's no way to actually go around and just kill zombies for an hour or so. Either way I'll still be getting it. Since you've got Prey and Chromehounds I suspect you like shooters, if so get Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter or Call Of Duty 2, they're the best games I've played for the 360. I'll run through the games I've got and tell you whether or not to bother with them. King Kong - You'll go through it once and never want to go through it again. There's no replay factor. Give it a rent, it's an easy way to get 1000 achievments points for 6 hours of play. Rent Madden 2006 - I wasn't bothered about all the features being gone, it's still a great game. But with 2007 two/three weeks away it's not worth bothering with. Don't Bother Gun - It's pretty decent, worth a rental but don't buy. Rent Dead Or Alive 4 - A great game and looks great. Give it a rental to try it out but don't buy as the next one is due out later this year. Rent Kameo: Elements Of Power - It's a good game but I got bored of it and haven't got half way through it yet. I might go back to it but I doubt it. Don't Bother Table Tennis - It's by Rockstar, so it's good. Although it's a little monotonous. You'd probably be best served getting the demo off live and playing as I can't see there being much more than that actually. Dont' Bother GRAW - As I said above it's tied with COD2 for my fave game so far. The best looking game alongside Oblivion. Buy COD2 - Great shooter. Better than the first COD and the multiplayer (now it's been patched and more maps added) is hella fun. Buy Prey - I really liked this game and loved the story. But you've got this already. Buy Need For Speed Most Wanted - I enjoyed this, but it's not worth buying. Give it a rental. Rent Burnout - Buy it. It's the best driving game out on any platform at the moment. Buy Oblivion - If you want something to fill the void until Madden comes out, don't buy this as it'll take over your nights and you'll probably forget about Madden. Buy 2006 Fifa World Cup - I just wanted something whilst the World Cup was on. If you're into soccer rent it, if not don't bother. Don't Bother Far Cry - If you've played it on the PC it's the same game. I didn't like it however, played about half an hour and tossed it to the side. Don't Bother Tiger Woods - Great game, give it a rental if you like but don't buy as 07 is due out before the end of the year. Rent Tomb Raider - It's a return to form for Lara Croft. I really enjoyed this game but it's a one time through game. Rent Battlefield 2 - Fun for the multiplayer and that's all. If you like multiplayer games rent it or download the demo, otherwise don't bother. Don't Bother Blazing Angels - I think this is among the worst flight games I've played. Avoid Totally Fight Night Round 3 - The best boxing game on any console ever. I don't know if there's another one coming out soon but rent it. Rent Hitman Blood Money - It's a great game but you'll not want to go through it more than once probably. Rent Condemned - Like so many games on the 360 you'll got through it once and never put it in again. Rent it because it's a good game. Rent I'm probably missing something but they're the ones I've got that I can remember off the top of my head. Plus if you just want a fun game, download Street Fighter from the Arcade. Also, I probably wouldn't bother buying anything if you can't buy many games because over the next three or four months there are some great games coming out like Gears Of War, Madden 2007, Saints Row, Splinter Cell: DA, Crackdown, Marvel UA, COD 3, Rainbow Six Vegas and SD vs. RAW 07. Just go through renting the backlog of 360 games, it should keep you going until Madden.

It's repeated again on Sky One at 02:35 on Sunday morning. If you have Sky Two it's on at 21:00 on Monday.

I have no problems with Ledger being Joker. Actually I think it's a good choice and that he'll be able to carry it well. I always thought Jake Gyllenhaal was going to be cast as the Joker ever since Nolan said Gyllenhaal was his first choice to play Batman until he was won over by Bale's audition. No doubt we'll probably see Gyllenhaal as Two Face or some other character down the line.

The 4400 hasn't started again for you poor folks? God damn that show is great.

I watched and thought it was pretty decent. The only thing that irked me was the portrayal of the females. I didn't find any of them particularly likeable apart from the daughter, but even then she was too sterotyped if you know what I'm saying. The production values were excellent considering it's a show from Sci Fi. Stargate & Battlestar are among my favourite programs but they went above and beyond them with the look for this show. It looked like something you'd expect from ABC or NBC. I think it's scheduled for 8 or so episodes is it? Hopefully it gets more commissioned as I believe it's now Sci Fi's highest rated show as it has some potential for some good stories. Also it's the perfect lead in to The 4400 which starts again next week.

It's ok, I've noticed a lot of screen tearing but it's expected with the demo being an early build of the game (I think it's from like 4 or 6 months ago). The game world seems a little small from looking at the map, especially compared to San Andreas. It seems bigger than Vice City however. The mechanics are great and knocking people down is hella fun with the ragdoll pyschics. The combat seems decent and being able to aim while driving is a welcome addition. The puncing etc. is great as well using both trigger buttons to land combos. Graphics aren't up to standard of games like GRAW and Oblivion but they're still better than most, and probably better than any game in this genre. Graphics could have something to do with it being an early build though. Some of the interactions are great as well. I was playing as a fat hispanic with cornrows and this guy in a suit starts going on a rant 'You dirty spic, you're a disgrace to this country' etc so I pistol whipped him and pumped him full of lead whilst he was on the ground. There also seems to be a good number of different NPC's. It was quite a bit until I noticed two the same. Overall, it seems like a very good game and it's me more pumped than I was before and will probably beat out GTA until the next GTA game comes out next year.

Find the quote on a website or something of them saying no-one would be leaving and print it out and take it and the shirt back to the shop, they should give you another. If not complain to the trading standards and then you'll get a new shirt. I bought a Bradford City shirt for my nephew a few months back and had Cadamarteri put on the back for him. Then he got busted for drugs. They had no qualms about changing the shirt. EDIT: Hopefully Windass will stay the whole season as I'm getting his name on the new City shirt when it comes out.

Can anyone tell me how the Packers are shaping up for the season. I haven't been following any of the news at all. They're probably in bad shape because I heard that there were a few no shows. So any news on the no shows etc would be much appreciated.

I believe a lot of people had this problem when the game first came out, although I never did. I seem to recall it being a problem with the gamertag/Xbox Live somehow not working with the game correctly. I think it was set up to read save game by your tag and not what was on the HD or something like that and I believe the problem got fixed with the first patch. What your going to have to do is delete your saved games entirely and start again making sure your tag connects every time you play the game and taking the time to make sure when you save that it's actually working. EDIT: What's your gamertag? I'll have you a game of COD2 online sometime.

I had this pre-ordered for quite a while and then played the demo and cancelled the pre-order because it was probably one of the worst demos I've ever played. It was the single player though and the game is meant to be more multiplayer orientated but I'll wait for a better mech game to come out since there's so much good stuff coming out for the 360 in the next couple of months.

Your system doesn't seem to suit Ronaldinho as he's best utilized in an attacking midfield role and you seem to play defensive (by the looks of your line up) across midfield. He'd probably still be decent pick up if you could indeed get him for £9million if you changed the way you played. Shevchenko would be worth it at 34 as he's got a decent head and doesn't need to move around much, but your forward line looks loaded. He'd probably just get lost in the shuffle and for £2million (unless you've got cash to burn as he'd probably still want a top wage as well) wouldn't be worth it unless he's starting.

I don't think it's the documentary off the BoB DVD as it's made by a different company and I believe it follows the whole of the 101st Airborne. Anyway, whilst on the subject of war documentaries I'd suggest buying the World at War DVD set narrated by Laurence Olivier which is 11 discs and contains all 32 one hour episodes. It was originally broadcast in 1973 and tt's the best war documentary ever made. I got it off Amazon a year or two ago for £79.99 and it's well worth the price.

Can anyone post their config file for the Premiership kits or just the Arsenal home kit line? The Arsenal home kit is not showing up and I've tried numerous combinations to get it to work but it just won't show up. Every other kit in the game is fine, it's just the Arsenal one that won't show up.

I missed the first couple and decided to skip it all together and wait for it on DVD. The bits I have seen of it though have been hilarious.

A red. Obviously. Sure, because we're English we're going to argue about it. But at the end of the day, a two-footed, dangerous tackle is a two-footed, dangerous tackle. I seriously wonder how bad the American coverage must be if you guys honestly think he got the ball. Like I said, he almost missed Pirlo he was so late
