FEAR was a weird one. Found Doom 3, HL2 and even a year or so later Prey ran pretty well.
But the FEAR demo just totally raped my PC. Looking forward to the 360 if version.
Can't compared PS2 and 360.
My PC made Prey look a tad sharper (if you put your nose on the screen) but the frame rate was way too inconsistant.
The PC doesn't have the variety of games and the real killer for me is XBox Live and I reckon that service must have Sony spitting blood. So easy...
Top next gen games are a bit short at the moment. Games cost so much to make that they have to be multiformat so many producers are waiting for PS3 so they can sell games on both 360 and PS3 to recoup the costs.
Hence you can get bored quick if play single player games. But if you play online...
I had one but had to sell it to pay for my bike insurance. Fortunately I didn't lose any money as I got what I paid for it.
Four months later I have just gone out and bought another one so make of that what you will.
I wouldn't bother if you aren't going on Xbox Live though as it is the...
DCI80 is a wicked car. Feels miles quicker than a 1.2 16v as you get real punch out of junctions and even some torque steer as it pushes you back in the seat but obviously runs out of revs quickly. Basically feels a lot quicker than it is if you know what I mean. Its more like driving a 2 litre...
By the way are you the 172 Cup owner I have seen parked in Sainsburys a number of times on an evening. Sometimes down nearer Argos? I was down with my mate once in my 182 and he had his Mk1 V6 and the kiddy got in his car and drove off. Dunno if he had been to the cash points or the millhouse or...
Think I know this guy. Did he have anthracite wheels or standard?
I am sure he is the brother of an old mate of mine and they both work at my place (thousands of employees). I have seen him in it and he follows behind me sometimes and he turned off up the hill towards pucklechurch but lives in...
I haven't noticed that it has made any difference. I am a few levels from the end now and much more of the story has been revealed. Some good puzzles like the one where you are inside the cube - stupidly easy once you have worked it out after no doubt emptying the ammo on every gun trying to...
I bet if I tried to sell my 22 month old 9900 mile example now I would struggle to get 8k for it and would no doubt just have a few time wasters ringing up.
I just don't think people want to spend that much cash on a used car - especially one with questionable build quality that is likely to...
I just got it as well, love the bit where those ghostly girls come after you and the bit on the lift where you see the plane crashing.
I actually bought another Xbox 360 to play it on! Weird cos the salesman in Comet (ok not exactly a reliable source) said that they only had one in stock and...
I found the PC's brightness settings were fine but the 360 was way too dark so I turned up the gamma and brightness a bit.
I have played Doom 3 and of course the Prey demo but neither have done any proper outdoor scene with a nice long draw distance. Much prefer HL2 in that respect and I swear...
Ordered in terms of looks with best at the top and worse at the bottom and with the reality in brackets:
Yellow (too expensive)
That Trophy Red (gotta buy a trophy)
Black (pain in the arse)
Inferno (don't think it will look cool in 5 years time)
Racing Blue (as above)
Titanium (my choice...
Hey I just tried the PC demo. I have an FX53, 1GB RAM and an X800XT. Its a two year old system so I was shocked when it set everything to the max although I had to turn VSync on.
I was even more shocked when I found it looked far sharper and just generally looked better and had more effects...
I know I can go on my bro's 360 and still see my account on his friends list and all the achievements. I never cancelled my live account as I knew I would be back, it just renewed on my credit card a week ago as it happens.
I had an Xbox 360, sold it as I needed money at the time and am now thinking I want another.
When I set my Live account up on it what exactly do I get back???
My gamer score and all my achievments?
What about if I play PGR3 on it again (which I had finished)? Will I get everything back or...
Whooaaa just finished the demo on 360 and came back on my PC, came on Cliosport and suddenly thought the floor was the wall and I was sat on it looking vertically down at my monitor! I got dizzy and nearly fell off my chair!
Its L337!!!!!!!!!
Well David Cameron reckons we should show them a bit of understanding. That guy hasn't got a f**kin clue. I'd like to shove the broken glass up his a$$.
Careful with extra warranties.
My mate who is skint needed a car and got a loan for 3k. Rather than get a 1.6 Focus the image conscious div got an Alfa. He said he wasn't worried as he bought a warranty. I laughed knowing that it probably only covers the engine and gearbox as opposed to the...
Nimbus. I always get cars in that type of colour as it is the most low maintenance.
Doesn't fade so bad, doesn't show scratches so bad, doesn't look any different whether you polish it or not and doesn't show the dirt so bad.
I sold mine after I bought my bike as I needed money for insurance but have been waiting for the prices to come down to buy another. I can't believe they haven't been cut yet. I will probably buy a premium pack but I'd want the price to come down to £249.99 first.
In some ways I'd rather get...
I personally wouldn't as I'd only want PGR3 and the play and charge kit so I could get it new for less with some money spare for a hard disk and high def leads.
Yikes I got some bug remover out in the garage. Had for xmas! Never tried it and probably won't now! Thanks for the warning! I might test it on my old mans car first!
Did it have really thin spoked black or anthrecite wheels? If so could be the one I saw in Cadbury Heath.
Any of you 172 owners the chav that popped up to see my neighbour (owns a black supra) the other day?
Check your wheels are on properly and fitted squarely? Could be someone tried nicking your wheels and its only held on by your locking wheel nut!
Otherwise you could try getting the tracking checked and look for damage or uneven wear to the tyres?
As someone else said the rear shock could...
Not doing much for our image but a Silver Mk2 172 came up my road in the Warmley area of Bristol with the windows down and his non standard stereo turned right up so that it could be heard a mile away.
He had come to see my neighbour and after chatting to him went flying down the road flat...
