The PSN/Xbox live thread.

games i own and adore for the benefit of Fu:

Resident Evil 4
Zelda: The Twilight Princess
Super Mario Galaxy
Guitar Hero III (saw it going for £40 recently)
Mario Kart Wii
GHOST Squad
Trauma Center: Second Opinion

i also very much like Super Paper Mario, Resi Evil Umbrella Chronicles and would recommend Call Of Duty 3 and Red Steel if you don't mind grappling with some weird controls. CoD3 also has a nice bit of chronic lag in places.

y o y o y o y o y o y do Ninty not start making Wavebird pads again? i play GC games through the Wii and use the pad for some Wii games but the wiriness is so annoying.

no gamecube, I'm not a huge gamer anymore because of the kids

I've a PS2 and mostly played the Silent Hill Games , Pro Evo's/Black /Metal Gears and Streetfighter/DOA/Tekken. Other than that its now the Wii or Football Manager on the laptop.

EDIT: Oh, and Tenchu.

I got bored of Ghost Squad quite quickly, there's not enough to see in it, even though it is quite cheap, Resi UC is a much better Zapper game.

Did you have a Gamecube mate? If not, pick up a GC pad and a second hand copy of Skies of Arcadia, as it'll run on the Wii. I've lost countless weeks to that game.

this.

also, other gamecube games to consider are:

- the legend of zelda: the wind waker
- metroid prime
- f-zero gx
- the resident evil remake

i know there's not much to it but RE:UC is too finicky to be really enjoyable. it's good to have an arcadey blast after months of aiming really carefully at a single pixel. and failing.

how do you branch off in Mission 2 on the plane? there's only a couple of routes i can access so far. do they open up at later levels?

F-Zero GX was hard! That, or I was just shit at it, but it felt hard!

it was fucking brick. having 30 racers on the track was awesome, though.

could never find F Zero in my local second hand store. balls!

I think more open up on later levels, like hostages running down the aisles. Not sure tbh, I ain't played it in months. The obvious bit are the two exits where one is relatively steady terrorist killing and the other is when there's turbulence and loads of shit goes flying in front of you. It's by far the shortest of the three though. That last boss on the boat in Jungle's a pain the arse on higher difficulties.

yeah, i can choose doors to the turbulence. i keep fucking up the jungle boss on Lvl 3

I wouldn't venture up the garden path until that's sorted.

When I get it connected your on. Get ready to fail as badly as hippo in a brothel though.

EDIT: Can you connect the Wii wirelessly?

Uh huh.

Yah, inbuilt wifi.

Off subject, I used a trail version of Ableton Live 7..it expired and i dont fancy buying it.

Is there something similar like that for free?

Ableton Live googled along with the word "torrent" will probably sort you out....

I keep meaning to have a look at it, from what I've heard I really should be using it for when we play live rather than Cubase.

I dont use torrents

the last torennt i got was Roxio and it brought with it about 50 trojans.

Your torrent Fu is weak.

if my computer's running slowly could it mean i need more memory?

It's one of a myriad of potential problems, yes.

i've done system checks and bashed the viruses out so that's what i've decided's wrong. i hate messing with computer guts. i only half know what i'm doing and that ain't good enough.
