The Old XBOX Megathread

[tristy]

Yeah, I hate football so fuck that

[King Ellis]

I imagine you wont be able to buy it caus it wont be on the EU marketplace but worth a shot, I guess.

Other than that, you'd have to buy it on your American account so even more outlay for 1200 more points. Sucks.

[Cactus Drags]

Points are region-locked too though, aren't they?

I almost hope the trial is shit so I don;t have to bother.

[Dan]

I was pissed when I found out it was NA only but bought it with my American account with paypal.

I'm sure I'll find some use for the points I've already got.

Finally ordered a new hard drive too, got an official 320gb one on the way for £50 and it comes with a code for Lego Star Wars 3 too.

Been using a 20gb for far too long, broke it out of it's shell and put into my slim when I got that but the sheer amount of content I own is way more than 20gb now and factor in installing games too.

Totally buying Blitz after work tonight - pretty pumped for it, even though they took out the late hits I've heard.

[King Ellis]

For the health concious NFL.

[apsham]

I went ahead and played the demo - glad I did. I don't know what I was expecting but it's a definite pass from me.

Burnout Crash is 400 this week and is pretty fun, seeing as a few of you seem to have MS points burning a hole in your pocket.

[Cactus Drags]

I bought Crash for 400 already, haven't played it yet though. Gonna be a gaming-heavy day off for me tomorrow

Blitz is fucking awful by the way. The controls are stupid, the commentary is good for about 12 seconds til it starts repeating itself constantly and it's just too bare bones to warrant the price. I've heard good things about the Battle and Elite modes, but the core gameplay's put me off. And why are there no fucking running plays?

[Dan]

I thought it was a good laugh and the game modes are cool, the lack of run plays is a bit shit but the option to do multiple passes on the same play makes up for it.

[King Ellis]

I'd just want to troll and pass between people behind the line for the whole half.

[LL!]

Shut up, troll.

[Cactus Drags]

It's just another Madden Arcade, with even less attention to detail, they can't even do left-handed quarterbacks.

[apsham]

Aye - they could really have something if they just put a little bit more work into it all.

Thanks for the tip on Burnout Crash, Dragsy. This is fun as heck.

[Dan]

It's just another Madden Arcade, with even less attention to detail, they can't even do left-handed quarterbacks.

I never bothered with Madden arcade so that might be the reason I quite enjoy it.

[Benji]

With Gears allowing re-ups, we need to play more often again. Anyone up for a Gearsfest tonight?

[King Ellis]

Gears!

[9 to 5]

Yeah I could play later.

[Benji]

Any time in particular?

[9 to 5]

An hour?
