Grim, what provider you with?
Not too sure about PGR4, given it a quick go just feels well weird after playing Forza. I know they're totally different types of racers, but something about it just makes me instantly dislike it. PGR2 was the best by far lol

I've just downloaded the Puzzle Quest RPG off XBLA... I'll let everyone know what i think of the demo shortly. It 1200 points to buy the full game
Posted by procterdc
Downloaded PGR4 demo, not overly keen tbh. I had a go on one of the bikes and its very hard to control. Prob jumping the gun a bit, but roll on Forza 3 lol
Posted by RyaN
yeah PGR4 is dodge mate isnt it. The bikes are awful and jerky to handle. Nevermind Forza 3, Forza 2 has plently of life left in it (well for me anyway!)
Posted by Burgaz
Anyone that's interested that Puzzle Quest game is a bit poop... It's just like Hexic but with a story....
Posted by scottt
Just downloading the PGR4 demo now.....
You cant really compare PGR and Forza imo, Forza is a simulator whereas PGR is an arcade racer..... I'm just interested to see how the weather effects are.... Rain sounds awesome with the strategically placed standing pools of water etc....

Got BT Total Broadband right now, it's the unlimited package but there's a fair usage policy in place, the same applies to most providers offering unlimited usage including Virgin.

i brought PGR4 2day, it takes alot of getting used to after playing forza 2 so much. but im actually starting to like it. at first i was hating thinking i had brought a pile of poop, but just stay away from the bikes and its pretty good fun. been doing some drifting in a M5 its great lol.
no where near as good as forza tho tbh.

You can get the demos and stuff for free but online play is about £40 a month.
Posted by Burgaz
£40 a month!!! Don't you mean £40 a year!

So i finished Halo3 last night.... I don't wanna spoil it for anyone that hasn't finished it but... When exactly did Master Chief die??? The last thing i saw of him was in the hanger with the Arbator as they left the new halo? The next thing you see is his memorial service? How and when did he die? I don't get it?

Glad I am not the only one confused with the ending, I was talking to someone not realising that it was ending and then bam, I was like what his dead or crap.
But then I am guessing his not as the franchise is still going to continue.

I need some help please - I have just bought a new LCD TV and am trying to get my head around the whole HD thing and it is driving me nuts.
So my LCD TV is a Samsung LE40R87BDX - which has a resolution of 1366 x 768 making it 720p (correct?). So my TV will look it's absolute best if supplied with a 720p signal - look good but not quite as good with a 1080i or 1080p signal (as my tv will have to down-scale the image) and look ok with any form of SD (standard definition) signal. If I have made mistakes already then please do correct me!
Now my xbox 360 doesn't have a HDMI output it only has composite (or the aditional VGA lead that can be purchased) so what quality / resolution does the 360 give out? Is there any point getting the 360 HD DVD drive if I can't get a proper HD signal to the TV due to the lack of connection options (I am not forking out for a 360 elite just 6 months after getting my xbox - damn you microsoft) Or have I got it all wrong entirely and the signal transmitted through component or VGA leads is as good / only marginaly poorer than those through a HD lead ?!?!
Please help - very confused! (and this is without going into HDMI 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3a etc etc)
Thanks,
Tom

Ok lets clear one thing firstly is that you actually have component not composite (composite is cra*) so you have the red green and blue, this can transfer HD content up to 1080i. I wouldnt worry to much about the HD-DVD drive as you TV is only 720P so if you hoping for the 1080p goodness that comes with the dvd's they will be downscaled to 720 (it will also show with a black border on top and bottom)
So personally just stick with the 720p personally its much better than 1080i in my opinion (google progressive scan vs interlaced).
With regards to the VGA leads some people have reported washed out colours again personal taste but it all boils down to your tv so I wouldnt stress to much (even if you had the HDMI version you would only be seeing 720P.
P.s you might want to invest in a receiver Yamaha is a good choice, get one with HDMI out and you can plug all your gear in and just have one cable going in to the tv.

Ps I just got my hands on Call of Duty 4 its gonna be an interesting Sunday evening only 6 more hours for the sun to go down and total darkness to settle in, lets fire up the projector
Posted by T68iKING
Game of the Year for Call of Duty 4! Halo 3 was something, but COD4 has taken the crown - single player offline mode.
Just completed it, took a while as i was playing on Hardened - some stages were insanely difficult though!
Time to go online:
"LETS DO THIS!"
Posted by Dicky Snapples
call of duty 4 is awesome online. We should have an esato death match!
