Just finished playing Mass Effect. Definitely the best game on the 360, and easily one of the greatest games ever, even though planet exploration, and a lot of the characters and subquests are pretty bland and forgettable. The lack of explorable population centres (only one city, a settlement, and a tiny camp - WTF?) also bothered me, and I would've liked it if there were more 'Paragon or Renegade' decisions - not just conversation options with minimal consequences and no real impact on events. Compared to the other amazing BioWare RPGs, ME falls way below KOTOR standards but ties with Jade Empire.

Dang. Well, rumor has it "they" are making an online KOTOR in the future.

Unfortunately, EA might have a hand in it. So.... ...who knows?


In other news, Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out for the 360 next year. The sequel to one of the hardest and most amazing looking/playing games.

KOTR will remain one of the best games on XBox. They just lack in length.

Ninja Gaiden 2! I'm really anticipated that title but I don't have a 360. Luckily both of my best friends have one and are fans of Ninja Gaiden. There is also a Ninja Gaiden for DS coming out next year.

KOTOR and Jade Empire were so fucking good, KOTOR especially. Did you like the second one? I thought it still kicked ass, because of all the additional content.

Apparently if you wrap it in a towel for 15 minutes or so it helps. My brother told me that his friend did that after his was broken for months... so that's my "guarantee" on that working. Maybe you should look it up though.

There are two known ways to fix a XBox 36o and the towel trick does work but I would just send it in. With the 3 year extended warranty MS put out there is no reason to try and fix it yourself.

my thoughts exactly. + the towel trick just fucks your console in other ways.

Yah...that just sounds like a really really really....really bad idea.

It's basically a computer. When it overheats, things can only get worse.

You take a computer that's poorly put together, and things will get exponentially worse.

Don't listen to internet lawyers please... (ie, retarded kids who think they know how to fix shoddy consoles)

It works, my friends did it on one of their XBox 360s and the other one they repaired with the coolant shit they put on the processor. It's just easier to send it back.

Phil is right actually. think about it.

It makes the console expand inside with the heat so 2 wires that have detached can meet, then it cools and stops working, but while this is happening...everything else inside is overheating, the fans are working twice as hard and generally you are forcing your console to work overtime.

KOTOR is the best game of all time in my eyes, with Jade Empire and KOTOR II not far behind.

Has anyone played Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines? I recently beat it, and holy shit is it an amazing game. Storyline, characters, soundtrack - it ticks all the right boxes. I'd rank it just behind KOTOR; the gameplay style is in fact pretty similar to KOTOR.

You have to excuse my cuntiness.

I just pictured some squeaky voiced 12 year-old wrapping a towel around a 360 and it coming back to life...of course it probably only worked for a week after that.

Yeah you're thinking quite logically, actually. Sounded like complete bullshit when I heard it, too.

One of my favorite never-talked-about games is still Deus Ex: Invisible War. Hey, I've heard the original is better, but the sequel is SO good anyways. I heard comparisons to Bioshock, so I need to play more of that.

I just checked, and my warranty expired on 04/20/07. Guess they only extended the warranty for Americans.

Sweet, the towel trick worked. I managed to beat Half Life 2: Episode 2. Awesome shooter, though disappointly short at only 4 1/2 hours. I expected to beat it in the same time it took me to beat Episode 1 - around 8 hours.

It'll be down to a cold colder joint, where there is a microscopic crack that goes through the whole solder joint. When you wrap a towel round the unit, you block of the air flow to it, and due to the thermal expansion the two halves of the crack meet up, and everything is good


Until the CPU and GPU overheat.

Just got my hands on FFXII. Awesome so far, wasn't sure about the new fight system but once you start to get a party together it's pretty fun. just doesnt feel like FF though :/
story is great so far, most of the voice acting is better than i expected. liking the customization. its awesome.

i know you lot have discussed it quite a lot in here, so any tips? (WITHOUT giving anything away)

For the NeoGeo I would be entirely exclusive to SNK games, obviously. However with the PS2 I would have a billion games to play that I've missed out on and all the PSX games.

PS2 and PSX also have quite a few Metal Slug games which is possibly the only reason for getting a NeoGeo Pocket aside from the fighters.

I thought you only get two months free if you create a new Xbox Live account. I've only ever heard of 48 hour XBL cards.

That sucks Sam. :/ I've been playing CoD 4 at my mates house. Pretty good game- a shit load of people play it too but it will never pull me away from Halo 2.

Currently, I'm playing Luminous Arc which is a nice little SRPG for the Nintendo DS. It's one of the only DS games with voice acting and it also has WiFi battles which will keep me more than busy after I finish the story mode which is 12+ hours.

i've been on a massive FF binge, been playing VII, IX and XII.
i love IX so much, other than the fucking slow fights.

also had a mega drive (genesis) addiction. 2D fighters rock.

hah, give me a fuckin break. So what if you dont feel like you are 8 again, playing on your SNES while your mom brings you juice to keep you energized. I have about 500 SNES roms on my xbox. and then i have a drawer with about 20 SNES cartiges. can you guess guess what is more efficient? i think so. can you imagine what my drawer would look like with 500 cartriges?

ruin games? pff, it preserves them.

the day my local stores shipped all their SNES cartriges off to fuck knows where, is the day i stopped buying them.

Question: Where can I find a PSP emulator? I've looked everywhere but came up empty, I did find some but its said something about the emulator doesn't ectually read PSP Roms. Then why in the hell call it a PSP Emulator?!?

The reason I want one so bad is because I really need to play Silent Hill Origins but I can't cough up the money to purchase a PSP and the game.

Why did you pay that much for a mediocre RPG? You should have got FFVII or FVIII PC version or both of them for that price.

PSP roms, currently, can only run on PSPs.

This weekend I'm picking up Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. It has WiFi!

Anyone got any recommendations for a good RPG for XBOX360. Something I can really get stuck into. I'm a big fan of Zelda so anything like that would be right up my street.

If you haven't already got Oblivion, get. Other than that there really isn't much. The 360 lacks RPGs but I've heard Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and Blue Dragon are all worthy titles.

FF7, Chrono Trigger, Shadowrun, Super Mario RPG, and for GBA RPGs, hmmmm, I had Golden Sun way back in 8th grade which I thought was an alright game. It got boring at times but it's a decent RPG.

They are. Mass Effect is the better of the three in my opinion. I haven't paid Lost Odyssey yet but from what I heard and seen it looks great.

anyway, those weren't all obvious ones. I forgot to include Final Fantasy Tactics (there's a FFT Advance out as well, though I haven't played it) and Suikoden II. and just curious, why just those platforms?

Beat, beat and currently waiting for the second one.

There is no way I can play any other platforms due to lack of system.

BB, playing through Earthbound and got stuck. Didn't want to use a manual so I quit. Should I continue? Ness was the only character I got so it was fairly early in the game.

I'll look in the Grandia games. Thanks.

Thanks as well Sam.

because I wanted to play throught it and my brother sold his old bass to pay for most of it. That and three are the best suikoden games. I've already beaten FF7 and 8 like a bajillion times, and I don't like to play PC games...so yah!

Eh. Do you use your laptop as your desktop? And if so do you have a really good laptop?

I'd say probably not the best of idea if you don't have the hardware, (unless you don't have a 360 then you don't really have a choice)

Thats just dumb.

First of all the suidoken series is a seriously sick set of games. And both of those games on pc COMPLETELY blow. Blow so much that its unfathomable why you would even post such garbage.

The pc versions of those games have MIDIS as the music. The amazing compositions by Nobuo Uematsu should never be watered down into midis. Besides the games run terrible on computers. I downloaded and tried to play FF7 on my pc i don't know a year or 2 ago and ran just as shitty as it did when i had it when i was 12.

That game is so good, it made me cry.

If I was at home and my little 1 month gold hadn't just expired, then I'd hop on right now. And wow, you got CorpseEater? That's pretty good, no numbers attached

Nice. Well then i say get it. Shooters are much better ont he computer anyways. The accuracy possible with an entire arm of muscles or at least half an arm of muscles is much better than the accuracy and control of a single thumb.

Not to mention i'm sure its free to play online rather than having xbox live

I don't see how thats too disputable. I mean this is my theory on it.

Obviously one is going to be better at whichever platform they chose to use. If you play pc more, you'll be better at aiming and being precise on it, the same with a console.

But i think the difference is which one is ACTUALLY more accurate, not necessarily which one is better at. I think its pc because of how many muscles and controls possible it is to be able to manipulate the mouse rather than just the muscles of a thumb moving a thumb stick.

I mean hell i know this has to be true because if anything you can change the sensitivity of a mouse to the point where it takes alot more to make small adjustments.

Those are just my thoughts about this "PC vs. Console" shooter question.

.

to play the other side, think about playing guitar, people play much more accuratly when they only move their hand or fingers to pick as opposed to keeping their hand straight and moving their whole arm aka more muscles.

however i do play more console than pc so your right about that being a factor

Well thats kind of over simplifying whats going on.

I know what you're saying, but when you play guitar you use all of those muscles less arm muscles but you still need to use them to move your hand a little bit up or down (depending on which string you are on.)

Also you basically agreed with my statement about the thumb. There are mutiple and interlocking muscles that run the hand and wrist, so using all of them to move a mouse over using just the "single" (dunno if there are more than 1 or 2) muscles of the thumb should make it more accurate.

When I had a 360 I lived in the arcade.

Speaking of arcades, I've never got to experience one. How are they?

Instead of getting wasted on Spring Break I should visit Austin and indulge in hours of arcade haven.

I'm amazed the same aracade I spent most of my life at is still open. All the dollars I spent playing Tekken Tag could have possibly bought me a new car.

Yeah seriously. When i was about 10 they had one pretty much all over. Now i seriously can not think of the last time i saw one except when i was in chicago and this one that was... fucking HUGE.

Arcades are awesome because you can play multiplayer games that have been screen, and shit actually moves, like the seat and what not. Also you get "realistic controls" and all that.

Apparently they are still extremely popular in japan. Thats what i last heard.
