Did you complete it on legendary on your own? Very impressive if you did.

Thinking of going retro and getting myself a SNES on the cheap!!

Looking to get Mario World, Mario Kart and Street Fighter with it if possible, but struggling to remember what other games were out for it...

Aye i did. There was only maybe 2 or 3 parts where i got stuck for more than 30 minutes on one checkpoint surprisingly. It's not THAT much harder than Heroic, if you stick your head out on heroic OR legendary you're pretty much dead anyway, especially if there's a bunch of Elites around. So on both difficulties it's a case of picking the tougher enemies off one at a time.

I remember getting to the final boss on Halo 2 on legendary but never finishing it. Did about 10 minutes of Halo 3 on legendary and gave up.

Star Wing!!

Ah yes, top game indeed!!

Yes I think it's better.

As for TDF, you don't actually race the whole stage, just important sections like the start, climbs, sprints and the finish. The rest is simmed. It's more of a strategy game but the user controls the speed of the rider by tapping x to gather speed which can be then maintained by holding down x and released to slow down. There are 3 bars measuring stamina to be aware of and have to be used wisely to make the stage in good time. You control the communication of the whole team (9 riders - some specialising in sprints, others in climbs etc) instructing them to form relays in an attempt to speed up or slow down the peloton, to protect important riders from the wind, attack and form a breakaway or to disrupt other teams plans. All in all it's quite difficult but it was a lot better than I was expecting, though some might find it boring.

I managed to finish Halo 3 on Legendary. You have to be pretty patient as, like you said, you have to pretty much pick off enemies one by one moving in and out of cover each time.

I pre-ordered Halo 4 not too long ago for £17.99 from Argos on a misprice. Surprisingly they're actually honouring it rather than cancelling the order.

Looking forward to the new Hitman in November as well.

Yeah, you gotta pick off the grunts and jackals before tackling the tougher elites and brutes. Scoped rifles are an absolute necessity to finish it on legendary, accompanied by the plasma pistol to drain the shields in one blast.

Any Kinect users have a view on its age-appropriateness for a 4 year old?

EA Games Face. FREAKY!

Wondering the same thing myself. All I know is Kinect adventures is no good, only game I've got for Kinect. Can anyone recommend some?


Also Sleeping Dogs seems pretty good, not got too far yet though.

It's great, kids love it. The kinectimals game is superb and the sports games are good too. The Disney game and monsters games are too.

The only problem with kinetic is the enthusiasm kids have for it. With the tv being the focus the natural instinct is to move towards it. So initially and whenever they get excited by it you will have them constantly rushing to the screen and setting off the 'move back!' warning on screen. We ended up having to put the couch cushions in the way so they couldn't move forwards too far.

As for a four year old they might struggle with the menus using gestures as it requires some precision but they should find the games I mentioned easy to play. Most of the games aimed at a young audience use very simple gesture controls. Kinectimals for example uses slapping your thighs like you do to call a dog and things like jumping, running on the spot and falling over to control the animals. Any kid able to follow basic instructions like jump, stand, fall over, sit down, roll over, wave arms etc should be able to get the hang of it very quickly.

Cheers mate, just what I was after.

Has anyone played the FIFA 13 demo yet? We're having the house rewired so won't be able to get on the Xbox for another few days. Arrrghhh!!!

Apparently F1 2012 demo is availbale too.

I've just had a look on the 360, and can't find the demo anywhere?

But have just started downloading the F1 demo.

They tweeted it will be up sometime between 10am and 2pm depending on microsoft. They are normally very keen to get things like this up before Sony.

Even the F1 demo is a day earlier on xbox

it's "xbox live gold only" and apparently doesn't work if you're on a gold trial either so I couldn't get it through the market place although I did manage to get hold of it...

only had 2 games and it does seem like they have got a lot of extra stuff going on. The gameplay doesn't seem to different in all honesty other than it being harder to control the ball and passes seem more sensitive and stray more. the new kick off feature updates stats etc into the commentary to make the whole experience realistic. but it makes the commentary sound a bit choppy and weird. i.e "the home team are 3rd in their league whilst the away team are 1st in their league" imagine the awkward pauses between words that you get in rugby league live commentary and its somewhere near that. there's also some good training/challenges whilst waiting to start the game. I can give a better insight once ive played a bit more though.

I'm off round to my mates to play it on his Xbox as its not on PS3 until tonight!

Slightly off topic here, but is Saint Viper still around here? The american state department official murdered in Libya yesterday was Sean Smith AKA "Vile Rat" from EvE online who im sure, Saint Viper knows. Sean, singlehandedly shaped the politics within EvE and was without doubt, the most respected player within the game and one of the nicest people you could wish to meet. He leaves a wife and 2 children

Re FIFA 13;

I was unaware that if you've worked some space down the flank and are free of your marker it becomes standard procedure for said defender to nigh-on WARP to your man with the ball, completely negating any space you've made for yourself

Just played my third game, overall scored none conceeded four. Friggin' 'ard!
