Rez HD baby! I've got the Dreamcast and PS2 versions. I've got the demo for Rez for 360, has some wierd options like changing the visuals to certain themes (sepia, bloom, HLE, glare etc.) plus you can also reverb the sound. Such basic gameplay, but the sound and visuals just suck you in...gonna buy some MS Points tomorrow to get the full version.

You can use an average of 1598.05 MB quota, and 5032.14 MB offpeak quota per day until your next reset and not be shaped

Someone want to help me rinse my quota? I'm outta ideas!

Is it meant to be like the PC one or the console "OMG I HAVE TEH SUPER MUTANT POWERS LOLLOL" one?

saintberry · Post by **saintberry** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:02 am

What games have you got quick. I bet they are tres lame.

And what's wrong with the 360s interface? Bah!

There has been a distinct lack of games since December I must say though. I'm hanging for some decent action games.

Has anyone played the new Devil May Cry?

Sooo hanging for GTAIV

Are you fully For Serious???

I haven't connected my TV. 360 is all I need (well, food and air are up there too).

Elder Scrolls Oblivion is like Crack Cocaine, Guitar Hero is the greatest co-op game of all time, Halo 3 is a worthy end to the trilogy, Lego Starwars is lol, esp. when Chewie has the stormtrooper helmet perched on his head... every game I have is pretty sweet.

Still playing Mass Effect ... fucking rules! Doing every mission and side mission, taking me forever.

Got serious guns though, geth melting.

mecka · Post by **mecka** » Fri Feb 22, 2008 5:00 pm

^
Mass Effect on Insane is fucking hard. But with most of the difficulties there is a turning point once you start getting the good weapons where it really does become quite easy.

I'm playing through as a Vanguard (close combat & biotic abilities) and the first fight after the prologue took me about an hour to beat.

In the past 3 days my PC's been completely fucked. I've got the Optus Security Shield antivirus and yet my CPU's running at 100% or near it all the freaking time. What gives? Is there anything I can do? I 'end task' on some applications and processes that I know I'm not using like winamp etc just to try and make it run faster but something fishy.

Help?

Post by **huge** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 4:51 pm

in task manager, click on the CPU column on the Processes tab. whatever is using all your CPU will have the highest number. end that. see what it is and if you need it etc.
