I know Stan would love that!

I would, though I've stopped looking at video clips as I don't really want to spoil the game by knowing too much about it.

my xbox has been perfect too. i fret that the load times are a little high sometimes, but it seems grand otherwise

here, one problem since the spring update. only 50% of the time does it automatically log me onto xbox live, and i have to press 'connect to'.
have the settings set to sign into xbox and not into msn.

anyone else notice that?

Since the update i ALWAYS have to sign in manually, and it takes ages for my friends to come up on the thingy.

 

[Stan Bowles]

The 'taking ages to load thing' is them running stuff to weed out the modders isn't it?

I find crackdown crashes a bit too often....... And the Dirt demo won't load at all for me.

Today Microsoft Corp. and NAMCO BANDAI Games made video game history by unveiling the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” — featuring the first new Pac-Man mazes in more than 26 years — available only on the Xbox 360™.

The “Pac-Man Championship Edition” is the same beloved “Pac-Man” game played in arcades of the ’80s but is updated with new features that former “Pac-Man” fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks and high-definition (HD) graphics. Details include the following:
• Classic 2-D “Pac-Man” presentation with a new, modern look in HD
• Six new, timed game modes:
 The Championship Mode. This is the main game mode designed by NAMCO BANDAI Games and Iwatani specifically for the championship round of the Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. This mode – as well as all others within the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” – features redesigned mazes with wide maze walls and a widescreen configuration to better enable high-speed game play. Timed limit of five minutes.
 Challenge Mode 1 (Patience and Reward Course). This mode is an evolution of the Championship Mode. Patience mazes strategically offer fewer Power Pellets and Reward mazes provide a large number of Power Pellets – providing unique challenges and rewards for the player. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
 Challenge Mode 2 (The Darkness Course). In this mode, only the area directly around Pac-Man and the Ghosts is visible and the maze walls are completely hidden. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
 Extra Mode 1 (The Freeway Course). An extremely high-speed mode for advanced players, this mode features warp-speed Pac-Man and Ghosts and plenty of tunnels. Timed limit of five minutes.
 Extra Mode 2 (The Manhattan Course). A mode inspired by the streets of Manhattan — the home for the first-ever Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. Timed limit of five minutes.
 Extra Mode 3 (The Overall Course). A mix of all other modes resulting in extreme mazes for the most devout Pac-Man fans. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
• Xbox LIVE leaderboards, Achievements and Gamerscore
• Rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board
• Costs 800 Microsoft® Points
• Available for download only on Xbox LIVE Arcade on the Xbox 360 starting at 0900 BST on Wednesday, June 6, 2007

[Janer]

Mine did too until I went into the set up of the 360 and ticked the always sign in auto box.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Resident Evil 5 not out till April 2008 at the earliest.

 

[Johnnyc]

Pac-fucking-man.

What were they thinking?

Maybe EA will get the licence and release Tu-Pac-Man. Thanks.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Apparently UK based internet retailers have started to dispatch Forza 2.

Anyone in town seen it on sale yet?

 

[Johnnyc]

Hmm - I'm thinking about picking Forza up again as I'm getting better at the demo.

I'm gonna get rid of Shadow Run - I heard the phrase "Resurrect the fucking troll!" last night and immediately reset the console.

Ha! The Shadowrun demo is going up tomorrow apparently. If you trade it now you should get a pretty decent price.
