2 things out on 360 this week


1 to 100 is a free download and let's you compete with thousands of others, with your avatar, in a live quiz show, sometimes for prizes. I enjoyed it far more than I thought but that was nothing compared to Lady Mac who has made me note the times of the next live events to take part.. slightly worrying


Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition also out - still a true gem of a game, and that music!

I am gutted. Was really looking forward to buying the new Ghostbusters game, and the release date has been put back to October/Novermber! :(


Not sure why, as it seems finished, and all the sites have full reviews... Incidently, the Wii version has better marks than 360 or PS3.

Hmmm, well gamespot gave it 8, and considering they usually hate everything released on the wii, that seems a good score.


They say the main weakness is that it's short.


F**k it, I was a child of the 80s, and anything Ghostbusters has got to be worth the risk, even if Ghostbusters 2 was a sh!t film.

Ok, so I was burgled a few months ago (and am still awaiting insurance payout) and I had my PS3 nicked. Now, I have always been a gamer and not to have a console in the house feels a bit weird. The wife never really liked it as apparently I could be spending more time doing other stuff she liked doing like moaning and chatting but she has said that she will sanction a Wii if I want to get one and would look at me disaprovingly and go all thin lipped if I get another PS3.


Question is what do I get? Do I still need a console at 35 with a small child in the house and other VERY time consuming hobbies?


*corssed fingers and hopes to be told to go out and buy PS3 straight away* :))

Alwyas bought Sony consoles but not a PS3 - it just doesn't have anything worth buying on there (LBP possibly excpeted) - the 360 has way more games, a better (IMO) live service and all round experience


And it's cheaper


the Wii... has a couple of very good games but tbh I rarely switch it on

I've always been a nintendo fan, but the wii just doesn't have the games I want. It would be great fun for playing with your kid or kids, but for locking yourself away and saving the world, you're probably better off with a 360. I hope to get myself a 360 at some point.
How come she's discriminating between games consoles? I think the Wii seems to be the system that people who aren't "gamers" seem to recognise, accept or own. However once you're over the novelty of standing in front of your tv waving your arms about the Wii gets shelved to gather dust as there's not a lot of great games when compared to the xbox360 or ps3. I'd lean towards the Xbox as it's online is more established and all my chums are on it but these days both are getting most of the big games. So take the plunge and rejoin the hordes of middle-aged blokes playing video games whilst getting evils from their women.

I have started to watch a lot of films through the 360 as well - either streamed from the laptop or downloaded from the film servoce...


keef - I didn't know big, free roaming worlds were your bag - but there are plenty of stone cold gems on the 360. Piers didn't did Fallout 3 but it is frankly awesome once you get past a slow start..

How does one get this? From the dashboard??


Anyone wanna be Xbox360 Friends? My prof is rattty657 (three t's in rattty!)

ratty, I'll send you an invite later


Atthe moment 100 to 1 is free to to Gold members as it's in beta only - if you are a gold memeber you should see it plastered over the dashboard - just pick one of those and you will get an option to download the necessary


it's a live thing tho so you can't play anytime - PM me if you get stuck and I'll try and help


Keef - fair enough, Fable 2 or Oblivion for you then (Fable 2 is a bit prespcriptive for me - Oblivion let's you go aaaanywhere)


It's a couple of years old now but still looks great

tch - ratty asks for invites, gets one and ignores it


I have been rebuffed!


Still it was very amusing to play a game of 1 vs 100 with Mockney Piers and anotehr friend from devon online the other night - very freaky seeing our avatars gesturing away in a big mob


I crushed him btw ;-)

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
