Microsoft Xbox 360

[pboreham]

My GF loves Fable also, but has been playing under my GT when she has been on, thinking of getting her a 360 for her birthday, but not sure she would want that, nor would she have any clue if someone invited her to join a Fable 2 Co-Op game, shame they never got that right.

My GF used to have her own 360 when I had one and she used it alot (mainly Uno and Viva Pinata).

We played some offline co-op the other day, shame the camera movement is restricted as that pissed her off...

There is a golf game that a lot of the AVF 360 crowd really like on the communinity games section of XBL (in fact, the maker is a regular poster on AVF and plays lots of the posters on there).

Its a golf game and a course designer and you can play your courses online with 8 players on XBL.

I've had a look at some vids and it looks pretty basic to be fair, but could be a laff if a few of us get it? Think that is down to 400 points too...

Oooh, I'd definately be up for some Xbox Live Golf partys .

Alien Hominid is a laugh, it's a side-scroller. Fun but I wouldn't pay for it to be honest, gets boring quickly.

Same with the golf game that's on there, it's not great. Tiger Woods/Everybody's Golf is on another planet from it, so it's like, "why would I play a worse golf game instead of a better golf game?" Hence why everyone likes PES or FIFA but not both... It's without doubt the worse game of the three.

Exactly what I thought tbf... why would I bother playing that, when I barely play the excellent Tiger Woods 08 thats sitting on my shelf...

Course Creator looks interesting tho...

Got the MS Wheel last night... lovely bit of kit - and damn, PGR3 is as superb as I remember! Great fun on that and Race Pro last night.

Wonder why I couldnt get into PGR4, but love PGR3?

Might've just been the wheel I tried but I thought it was utter gash. The feedback was all over the place. And it felt really cheap and tacky.

Oh and PGR3 is simply better than PGR4. The handling of the cars is much, much better. Allows you to drift without using the handbrake so its far more fun.

And I don't like the setup for going through races on PGR4 either, it's too confusing. I've only just got it, but considering I've got PGR3 as well, I don't feel like going through it.

[Coopz]

Did everyone get an update from MS today?

 

[Joe]

yeh when I turned it on, Dunno what it is though

 

[Tim7]

Yeah me too.

 

[Coopz]

Just read about it and all it does is ...

"This update addresses interruption issues that some Xbox LIVE users may have experienced when playing a limited number of Xbox 360 games."

 

[Tim7]

Hopefully they've fixed the Party's that keep breaking.

 

[Coopz]

Nope

The update only does what is said above

 

[Tim7]

Yes, that might have been included in what was said above .

 

[jaygrim]

I agree with what was said above but cant confirm if they have fixed the said above features.

 

[aitken]

they havn't really fixed it. i still get cut off fifa all the time but i havnt tried gta but i dont think it will work.

im really close to buyin a ps3, ive never had this much hassle with any other console in my life.

How do i use a game save which was used from a profile i deleted?

I had a offline profile which i played GOW2 on; I've deleted that and i'm using my online profile now, but i can't access my GOW2 game save.

Is there a way i can use that game save for my current profile?

Jealous - I'd usually be washing my hair, or watching Sex in the City with a glass of wine, so the chance to sing along to Duffy with young Darren makes my toes curl with delight!!
