Sensible World Of Soccer on the 360 - some more screenshots

Found a couple more SWOS 360 screenshots on the net. I really am looking forward to this game.

Only one day to go until Forza Motorsport 2

Cant wait for this. I've been checking the forzamotorsport.net website and this really does look like an excellent game. Not just the driving part but you can also create custom paint jobs and sell your cars online in auctions.

Well worth a look!

This week on the Xbox Live Arcade....

is a game we already have.

Wel almost - it's Pac Man Championship Edition. It's annoyed a lot of people including those who've commented on Major Nelsons Blog about the new release. I can't say I blame them - there's already the original pac man game on the Live Arcade and now they release another version of the game with basically enhanced hd graphics and some new mazes.

I can understand people getting angry with Microsoft about this - they'll be releasing a new version of Root Beer Tapper next.

Sensible World Of Soccer dissappointment...

Found out today on the Codemasters SWOS forum that the date and location of the community day has been changed.


Whilst the date wouldn't have been a prob the location is. It's now going to be in London which from where I live in the Midlands isn't a cheap day out - £100 or there abouts return on the train which is a bit too much even for Sensible World Of Soccer.

Never mind - it'll be out soon on the 360 arcade anyways.

Xbox Live Most Popular Titles

Major Nelson has published in his blog the latest top 10 most popular xbox live games.

Gears of War is still top of the 360 titles list (I'm sure it'll be there for a while yet) with Forza Motorsport at number 7. I reckon that'll go up near the top come friday when it's released here in the UK.

Halo 2 still remains the top Xbox 1 title (that'll be there forever) with Rush n Attack at the top of the 360 arcade chart (you wait till Sensible World Of Soccer arrives in August!)

Shadowrun




Picked up Shadowrun today. I like first person shooters so this looked like the game for me.


How wrong could I be!
It's basically the same as perfect dark zero except with different weapons and skills. It's not in the same league as gears of war, ghost recon or any of the other 360 shooter games and never will be.
My advice is to avoid this game - if you are unsure then rent it first - I sure wish I did!
I played a few matches against bots to get the hang of things but when I went to play a Live game it took about 4 attempts to find a game to join.


If you have Shadowrun and want to chat to others about it check out these forum links:
