So, as a way to console myself after a driving test (get it? Console myself?!?), i decided to splurge my BANS affiliate money on a brand spanking new Xbox 360. I was preparing for a weekend of gaming & other such delights.
Not so.
You see, despite the fact the console worked, and I could play Lego Indiana Jones (Awesome), Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 (good, very much like every other smackdown though), Kung Fu Panda (really don’t want to play) and Viva Pinata (probably will be on ebay by the time you read this, still in box though, any good?), I couldn’t actually save my games – the hard disk was corrupted worse than Harvey Dent – so I had to take it back.
So a quick trip to Argos I grabbed a new one, and it all works awesomely once again. Hurrah!
Also, I’ve managed to get the bad boy online. My gamertag is rhysieboy84. What’s yours?

Viva Pinata is actually awesome!
I agree with Lottie, Viv Pinata is awesome. Give it a go before you sell it. I got really addicted to it at one stage. Not so much anymore, it’s a time factor – but it is very addictive.
Games which are must buy – Halo 3. Yes, it has been out for over a year, but a seriously good game. Especially the online multiplayer. The campaign is a little short, but they are long levels. It’s the type of game which gets better the harder level you set it at. The AI is just so much smarter – I finished it on Legendary (hardest level) and many, many times I was left swearing and screaming like a trooper.
Call of Duty 5: World at War – I haven’t actually played this yet because it’s only just been released, but I have heard it’s pretty awesome. If you prefer Modern Day warfare to WWII then get COD4, which is still just awesome.
Car games – if you’re into car simulators, Forza 2 cannot be beaten. I have the XBox Wheel to make it even more fun and realistic – it’s a fantastic game, but being a simulator, really not for the faint of heart.
Umm… I haven’t really ventured out into many other games so I’m pretty much out. Don’t have enough spare time as a student. And I’m still hooked on Halo 3… even after all this time.
My gamertag is JustRhysism so you should totally add me! I won’t be online much, if at all, over the next two weeks – assignments and exams grrr….
Viva is good, but as mentioned, just very time consuming.
Call of Duty 4 is a single and multiplayer classic, prob much cheaper than buy the new one, and most poeple are saying 4 is better anyway.
Crackdown, Colin McRae DIRT, Fable 2, Bioshock, Skate, PES 2009/PES2008 are probably my favourite 360 games so far .
Add me – my gamertag is williamG1893
Oh and by the way – a new HD Street Fighter game is coming out soon – 2D graphics but all drawn in high resolution! Can’t wait (I see that you’re a street fighter player)
Tried adding you mate but it doesn’t like your gamertag.
I’m not much of a video gamer anymore. I’m old school lol SNES FTW!
