The demo is kinda awful to be honest. Graphics etc. v.nice but it plays badly and the stereotyping of the black drug dealing mo-fos is hilarious. Full version is much better.

i played one of the PC versions through, so i know it can be good....

table tennis is the most annoying game i have ever played!

 

[Johnnyc]

I think Table Tennis is deadly!

Takes a while to get used to and can be frustrating, but I find it totally has that "just one more go" element. I had a game last night where the final went to deuce about 6 times.

Table Tennis really reminded me of Virtua Fighter - you can pick it up and do okay just by smacking a few buttons. And once you master it, you can still be given a run for your money by someone who just picks it up and mashes buttons.

All this, but in a good way.

The symptoms of gaming addiction explained Bakker, are anxiety, panic attacks, sleep problems, dreaming about games, nightmares and shaking.

my mates treesixty packed it in the other day. microsofters had some lad out in a van picking it up a day or two later. seems like customer support is decent. he had one of the launch ones. turned it on last week and the green light went red on the front and a voice said " call customer support".

ya fuck that. but HMV, Harvey Norman, Smyths all have package deals. Just wondering if anyone found one that particularly rools.

 

[THRILLHO]

The Gamespot / Gamezone ones are okay, since you get a bunch of vouchers with them.

 

[Johnnyc]

Don't bother buying an extended warranty though! It's a rip off. Just bullshit Microsoft if/WHEN your 360 dies and tell em you got it a month or two ago. They won't check. The warranty you get as standard is for 3 months, which is a fucking joke considering all the probs with the hardware.

You're just itching for some 47 action, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?

fuckin right! Also, I have the money aside now. It's happening whether I like it or not. I need to play Hitman, Ghost Recon, the rest. And as soon as SplinterCell comes out, I will retire as an outdoors man and forever remain inside. Silent. Murderous. Happy. Loser.

Bring it on!

sounds good - might give that a whirl. Might even attempt to return PGR in HMV and get Hitman. How can they refuse?!
