Customer Review: Wii Compatibility
Just so you know, you can now request an adapter free from Joytech to fix the Wii component issue. For those technically inclined, it’s actually just a resistor on the ‘Y’ signal, as the Wii provides too strong a signal for the Joytech Control Centre (and some TV’s).

Customer Review: Just what I needed
Well, all I can say in response to the people above is that it works absolutely fantastically 100% with an old fashioned non-HD TV!

So if, like me, you haven’t made the jump to HD yet, and you’re not planning to just yet - this works brilliantly. I’ve got all my consoles plugged in through composite - from Megadrive to XBox 360, and they all work really well.

The addition of having a network hub built in is great, and the only thing I would add as a “wish” to the product would be to have a web-server interface on it to save the complicated high-score-table-esque naming of the channels.

Customer Review: Perfection
Brilliant, am using to play gears of war on my pc. Absolutely no lag. If you already own a xbox 360 controller look no further. Just a note; it is only designed to work with games for windows games.
Customer Review: Great item
I have had my xbox 360 for a while now and have 2 wireless controllers. I used to have 1 wired which I used on my PC but traded that in for a wireless one. I really missed the 360 controller on my PC which is why I bought this item. It is really worth the money. Of course it would have been nice to be able to use my built in bluetooth if they were bluetooth, but that has nothing to do with this product really. It was really easy to set up and I am really pleased playing all my emulators and pc games with it. The downside to this product is that when I connect my controllers, they are disconnected from my 360, so I need to re-sync them to both PC and 360 whenever I switch between the 2. Also, I haven’t found a way to switch the controller off when using on the PC.

Customer Review: A step by step guide to setting up and using your XBox 360
This is a great companion to the XBox 360, not only does it cover the setting up and configuring of your Xbox 360 to get it going out of the box. But it also provides well illustrated, step by step guides to using your XBox to do more than gaming. Want a device to stream music to your hi-fi from your PC? Watch DVDs or videos? View your photos on your TV? This book is a useful reference to make the most of all the functionality the XBox has to offer, and makes the console look great value once you start making the most of it. Recommended!
Customer Review: It does exactly what it says on the tin…….
This is a great book for anyone that wants to do more with their Xbox 360 than play games. It not only provides step-by-step illustrations on how to set up and configure the console for gaming but it goes on to describe how you can easily connect to Xbox Live to game online and download trailers and videos (amongst other things). It also describes how you can use the Xbox 360 as a Windows Media Extender to stream audio, video or TV around you home. It really covers everything you could possibly wish to do with the console and explains it in a way suitable for beginners and the more advanced user. I didn’t know my Xbox 360 was capable of so much. This is a valuable addition to the library of any adventurous Xbox 360 owner.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: Premium Edition (Xbox 360)

In a nutshell:
Mexico City has been overrun by terrorists and only the Ghost Recon team can restore order – through the use of extreme violence. You command not just your three team mates but a high-tech array of weapons, armoured vehicles and aircraft.

The lowdown:
Although it still plays very similarly to the last Ghost Recon game this is easily the most impressive of the series so far. The graphics, particularly on the Xbox 360, are extraordinary with a whole city sprawling out in front of you at a previously unimaginable level of detail. Unlike some squad based shooters the controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to take part in the action and order about soldiers and vehicles at the same time with the minimum of fuss. The questionable artificial intelligence of your allies is the only serious flaw, but the ability to explore the city and plan your attack from any angle usually overcomes this problem.

Most exciting moment:
Calling in a helicopter gunship as you and your men are pinned down by a dozen terrorists, snipers and tanks.

Since you ask:
The game is set in 2013 and all of the high-tech weaponry is based on equipment the U.S. expects to have in operation by then – even the Metal Gear Solid style flying recon drones.

The bottom line:
Incredible graphics and one of the best squad based shooters ever.

Customer Review: Nice
As the 360 is my first console since the megadrive(!) and having played the rainbow six games on PC with mouse etc I was wondering how on earth you could translate a complex squad tactical shooter to a gamepad with only a few buttons. I was pleasantly suprised. The controls do take getting used to, but by the end of the first misson it was all coming quite naturally. It plays brilliantly too, If you ever stop and take a look around at this city its graphically brilliant, light shimmering off the high rise skyscrapers etc. The AI is fairly intelligent, focussing fire in chokeholes, making you work your way round, taking cover and reacting nicely although i’ve yet to encounter one that uses grenades. hat impressed me most though was the non stop aspect. You complete a mission and immediately go into your black hawk and have to use the gun to clear the landing position for your next mission…you’re in enemy territory and the game makes you feel that, theres no safe place to rest up. All in all impressed, four stars though because of a few minor gripes with the cross com controls and with the sightly linear maps, but overall a damn good buy
Customer Review: What a letdown.
This was one of the games that came with my Xbox 360 and after reading reviews online I had high hopes. The graphics are alright, not as good as I was expecting though and I can’t understand why there’s a quote on the box that says “a masterclass in what the Xbox 360 can do.” The gameplay is incredibly complicated. There are so many controls you have to remember and that sucks a lot of fun out of the game. It’s not much fun in the first place. The worst thing about this game is that you can barely take any damage. OK, this is realistic but it makes the game needlessly hard. Especially when your squadmates have been hit and you’re trying to revive them with bullets flying at you. The level of damage makes it very hard to take cover and return fire as well because every time you stick your head out to fire, there’s a very high chance you’ll get hit. I’ve only played this game on the easiest setting and it’s still proving annoyingly difficult. I’m really surprised it’s got all the hype it has when only one other game I’ve ever owned has been this disappointing.

PE HDMI to DVI-D GOLD CABLE - 5 metre
HDMI to DVI Cable. The newest digital video connection on the market. DVI supports the same high quality video as HMDI, however, it also incorporates digital audio along the same cable. No more dealing with separate digital audio and video cables, just one HDMI cable will do the trick. The HDMI connector is smaller than DVI, so it is ideal for installers and in wall use.

Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360)

January 22, 2008 | By Doug In Xbox360 | Comments(0)


Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: Worst game I have ever played!!! (except Catwoman…)
I got this game with my 360 yesterday. I had a choice between this game and pro evo 6, as im no fan of football and dont like the games i stupidly chose Battlestation Midway.WHAT A MISTAKE!!! at first i put the disk in and selected US campain. The controls are ok but like someone else has already said u cant move and use binoculars at the same time very well without crashing. The graphics are not really up to my expectations for a 360 game either, the sea is bland and flat and the vehicles dont look anything special although the sky does look pretty realistic. Now for the worst bit the fps (frames per second) On a certain mission u use an aircraft carrier ship and u deploy planes which u can fly. I liked the plane bit the best coz its quite fun flying around but as soon as u deploy a few more planes (like about 3) the fps turns abmisally jerky. You need to drop bombs on a japenese ship but the framerate is so slow that when u hover perfectly over the ship and drop a bomb the framerate cant catch up with u and u end up missing. Also when ur flying, u cant make sudden turns coz its SOOOO slow and jerky. It totally ruined my experience of a first 360 game. DONT BUY!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! hpfully other 360 games are better and more fluid…

Customer Review: Navy In Your Hand!
Now this techniqually is the first attempt at WW2 naval combat. And they have done this in such an amazing way!

Im a big fan of WW2 games, and even i was getting tired of the same old aerial, and ground combat games like, Call of Duty, and Blazing Angels, so the smart men of Eidos thought, well lets take this to the pacific ocean!

At the height of the war in the pacific where the great nation of America fights the Japanese imperial armies, now i remember theres not even many ground combat games for the war in the pacific, the only one i really remember is MOH Rising Sun, and that in some cases was unsuccessful. Naval Warfare on the other hand can be, if you know what’s going on, now the japanese navy wasn’t amazing, but it was formidable, so that gives some insight into the pacific theatre of war.

Ok then, enough history, now for the fun, the ships are BEAUTIFUL! i love them to bits, from the little torpedo boats, to the aircraft carriers of the amercian navy, re-live the battles you had only seen in Nval warfare films, and footage. Carriers- Without them, USA wouldn’t have done so well, though proving extremly easy targets, they have formidable flak coverage. And Also has the capacity of Fighters, Fighter Bombers, and Dive Bombers!

You send these planes out in three squadrons, of 3, which are unique in there own way!

Battleships-Destroyers- The brunt of the Navy, the Battleship!, powerful guns, and the speed of a turtle, these titans are amazingly powerful in the right tactical way! Remember, these also prove Large targets, but have again a powerful Flak coverage.

The work hourse of the Navy, and my personal fav, the Destroyer, nimble, and powerful, this ship provides accurate, shorter ranged fire, but if stcuj in a difficult postion has the speed, and just about enough fire to get you the hell out!

Submarine- Sneaky, and very powerful, set the sub to a depth and chose your victim, launch upto 4 torpedoe’s a time, but remember, theres and oxygen count, and you will surface, making you very vulnerable.

The planes, useful for attacking airfields, and Naval facilities, Fighters intercept other fighters, or dive bombers, and fighter bombers. The dive bomber, launches a torpedo in the hull of a ship, and remember there’s a squad of three planes with you and they will fire along with you. You can track the torpedo into the hull of the ship. But to do this you must reduce speed, and get to an angle which would hit the ship, making you a sitting duck!

And to finish off, the Fighter Bomber, useful for taking out Aifields and Nval shipyards, like the name you go into a steep dive, and at the right moment release your bomb onto the target, and yes you follow the bomb, and your other teammates will release on time with yours!

Multiplayer!

With great Power comes a great mulitplayer capability, and this is shown on Midway, everyone takes a position on board, like for example, one player, would take one naval shipyard on the amercian team, and another player would take the naval shipyard on next to the first, sending a total of 4 ships out a time! (The same goes for the other side!)

When it all hits off your thinking of what to do, and its hard, no one is following a tactial route, so you must use your units, and find a way to out think, and out match your ememy, this may not always be the case though, overall the multiplayer is fantastic, with an array of vehicles at your disposal!

Customer Review: Xbox 360 with HDMI PORT!
This is now the cheapest Xbox 360 that you can buy, however it does come guaranteed with a HDMI port so you can get the best possible connection to your HD ready TV. If you was to buy a premium online then it would not be guaranteed to come with this port, so your best connection would be to use the Component setup. If you dont plan to go online then this package is ideal, as you probably wouldnt need a hard drive. You do get a memory card to save your save game files, which will probably be enough for the everyday gamer. Also a good thing with this package, is that it is fully upgradeable so if you did want to buy a hard drive, 20gb or 120gb you just attach it on as normal. Same goes with a HD DVD drive which can also be attached and again with the best possible connection at present. Loads of decent games available and coming out for the 360, which cannot be said about other consoles!!! Alternatively you could buy a blu ray player, sorry I mean a PS3…..
Customer Review: Arcade is good for me now
Well I’ve been a pretty hardcore gamer over the years and spent lots of time on Live. Just moved house and have no phone line for a while so took the plunge with an Arcade and I’m so glad I did. (Left my other Xbox360 at the family home) Though there is no harddrive the memory stick has ample space for save games as I won’t be downloading etc for a good 12 months. I have already ordered a HDMI cable ready for my Samsung LCD and I’ve had no problems pulling my saved games over to the new console…. AND ITS SO MUCH QUIETER!!! The 360 Arcade has everything I need and ?10 has got me the HDMI cable I have used before. Perfect! A brilliant purchase and such a good idea from Microsoft, not all of us can go online and don’t need that huge hardrive and expense. If and when I do need it I can buy a harddrive easily enough so I’m very happy. Definitely worth the money savings for more games, and thats what its all about :) Can’t stress enough how happy I am with the HDMI connection as standard and the lack of fan noise….. such an improvement! A++++

30m Crossover Ethernet / Patch Cable
These cables are high quality Cat5e crossover cables, great for connecting up PCs and/or laptops to share an internt connection via Rj45 port.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 (Xbox 360) Customer Review: What no Achievement Points
I initially downloaded Tiger Woods 07 on XBOX Live and really enjoyed the demo. Unfortunately I couldn’t find this version in Malaysia, however I did manage to locate the 06 version and decided to buy. The big difference, in fact the only difference, that I noticed between the two versions is the graphics. Whilst the graphics on 06 are very good - on 07 they are simply stunning with a huge improvement in face detail.

The game itself - I have really enjoyed playing. I notice that there have been complaints about the Power boost being on the left bumper button - I don’t have a general problem with this and have got used to the swing with my left thumb and bashing the bumber with my index finger of my right hand. The only issue I have is due to the button configuration if you use power boost it is virtually impossible to use the right hand joystick to draw or fade the shot. It is like some bizzarre form of finger twister!

For me the two drawbacks have been that I have yet to find anyone playing online (I have had the game a month). I do not know if this is because everyone has upgraded to the newer versions or there is a problem with the EA server. The other drawback is that despite having played this game for going on 30 hours I have not achieved any Achievement Points - I have completed most of the challenges - I have completed a round 4 under par. I have 8 holes in One, over 100 birdies - this is frustrating as it appears the level set to get Achievements has been set ridicuously high.

Despite all the above comments - I do enjoy the game - and I suppose if you are looking for a golf experience i.e difficult, frustrating and requiring lots and lots of practice - this is the game for you.
Customer Review: Decent golf game in HD
Not much more needs to be said about the drawbacks of this version - fewer courses than the xbox version, fewer game modes.

I’d like to say that the game is still a decent way to spend a few hours. The graphics look way better than the previous generation, there are regular tournaments on Xbox Live, and it has all the modes I would realistically expect from a golf game.

The one gripe is the use of the Left Bumper for the power shot and spin button - this requires some finger acrobatics for a right handed person and can frustratingly interfere with the swing.

All in all, worth a play, especially at the bargain prices this is now available at. For a full price game, go for the 07 version, which has more features and better controls and targetting.

Customer Review: Better Than The Pro
The arcade is better than the core and comes with a 256mb memory card which is enough to save games and if your not going online then this the console for you. If you do need a bit more space you can buy a memory card 64mb, 256mb or 512mb or just get a hard drive from ?50 which is 20gb or ?100 for the 120gb (in my mind to much memory). Also dont worry about the red ring of death if you keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and give it breaks when it gets hot you wont have to worry.

Top Games:

Saints Row, Command and Conquer 3, Halo 3, Fifa 08, The Simpsons Game

All in all a very good console better than the PS3 which i also have so enjoy your gaming.

I don’t like the placement of the back/start buttons though, as it feels a bit awkward reaching them. Still, there is less risk of pressing them by accident like this. Buttons - feel a bit hard, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I suspect that button-mashing games will make your fingers hurt though. Sensitivy is on par with the official controller. D-pad - this actually feels more precise. I always had a wee bit of problems with the official D-pad, and especially the diagonals feel imprecise. This one’s better, and should be good for fighting games. Triggers - firmer and with more resistance than the official controller. Neither better nor worse for any practical purpose. With driving games I actually think it’s easier to maintain exactly the right level of acceleration. If you need to repeatedly press the triggers fast, they can feel a little too tough. Analog sticks - these feel flip-floppy, imprecise, and not that analog. They are too soft, and movement often becomes all-or-nothing. On shooters this can be compensated by turning overall sensitivity down, and it’s ok. But play any game which recquires precise sequences of movements (trick games, driving, FNR3) and it becomes a major pain. It is a noticeable handicap playing with this controller, which is not how I want my coop or vs games at home. Conclusions - if a good D-pad is crucial for you, to the point of not caring that much about the sticks, buy it at good value. Otherwise, wait until you can afford a better controller, or you will regret your buy like I did.
Customer Review: Do not buy!
after my friend got his 360 we put our cash 2gether to buy a cheap controller and we brought this. what a mistake, the anaolog sticks are way to sensitive and are not accuarate, the sticks feel very delayed and are a pain when playing driving games as your constantly trying to keep your car in line. The trigger were very tough too but im guessing thats because it was new. the 360 button did work and all the player lights were correct. Buy the official controller's! its worth the extra cash trust me!

Guitar Hero II with X-Plorer Guitar Controller (Xbox 360) Customer Review: thinking about the whole price??
I bought this game on a impulse buy and it really paid off. being able to rock out to beauties like R.A.T.M - killing in the name and guns and rose - sweet child of mine. what you have to look at is the price is it really worth it?? the answer is always yes! how much does a new game cost these days? around 40 to 50 quid. so for a extra 30 on top you get the guitar aswell. if you can’t play the guitar for real this game will compensate for that. And guitar heroes 3 is almost out and that seems even better. buy now you wont be disappointed.
Customer Review: If I could give it 6 stars I would
This game is utterly utterly brilliant you MUST buy it!!! Totally addictive and throughly enjoyable. Get your mates round, get the beers in and ROCK ON!!!

Prey (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Although it was announced more than a decade ago this demonstrates that the best things really do come to those that wait, with the most original and technically advanced first person shoot `em-up in years.

The lowdown:
Although it was conceived at a time when 3D graphics cards were still optional the basic idea behind the Prey portal technology is still the same as it ever was, allowing you to instantly step from one world to another in the game. You can even create the portals yourself as you battle grotesque enemy bosses in one area and jump back to another to recover. The game casts you as a Cherokee Indian with a number of magical powers such as spirit walking that let you explore the game world as a spirit, and deathwalk which replaces the normal need for intrusive quick saves with an innovative mini-game set between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Most exciting moment:
Not only is the portal technology amazing but the game’s use of gravity is equally inspired with gravity escalators that run up and across ceilings and some excellent zero gravity sections where you pilot spaceship pods and explore a tiny rotating planetoid.

Since you ask:
Originally intended only for the PC, the Xbox 360 version is being developed by British team Venom Games, who previously created Rocky Legends for Ubisoft, and features an 8 player multiplayer mode.

The bottom line:
Looks like being one of the top predators in the shoot `em-up world.

Customer Review: You get what you pay for.
So Ive played about half of the game and its far too dull to keep me engrossed. Theres nothing spectacular about this game I can think of that makes me want to play it anymore, if it wouldn’t cost me more too return it than the money I’d get back I would no longer own the title.
Customer Review: well worth the money
Before buying the game it might be a good idea to play the demo which is available at the XBox Live marketplace. Looks like many elements of the game are borrowed from science fiction movies dating back as far as ‘Dark Star’ (the bouncing beach ball in the movie). I think the story is nice and there is some surprising little puzzles in the game. If you like Scifi and saving the world from time to time then you should consider buying this game, I think it’s worth the money.

Customer Review: An Essential Piece of 360 Kit
If you have wireless controllers for your Xbox 360, this is a must buy. The kit comprises a charger, mains cable and one rechargeable battery pack.

The charger can take two battery packs at any one time and will charge both in around four hours, or a single battery in about two hours. The battery pack lasts ages in your controller so charges shouldn’t be too frequent. There are status lights on the front indicating if the batteries are still charging or have finished.

There is also a separate Play & Charge Kit for the 360, which plugs your controller into the console’s USB port to charge the battery. All well and good, but it doesn’t charge as quickly and the cable defeats the object of having a wireless pad. For these reasons, the Quick Charge Kit is a better bet.

Extra battery packs cost about ?9-10 and are worth the investment. The whole set-up will pay for itself within a matter of weeks compared to the equivalent cost in AA alkaline batteries, so get one today!

Customer Review: Good but be careful!
I got this peice of kit for xmas and it works brilliantly. It charges full in about 1 hour and lasts for 25 hours of play which is ruddy good. Here comes the but, the battery pack has small metal strips to connect it to the charger and if you charge alot the metal strips where away and you cant charge anymore (like mine). Im going to try the play and charge kit as i dont have to take out the battery therefore wearing away the strips.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Truly brilliant racing game.
NFS Most Wanted is a total success, because it manages to be exciting, addictive & this 360 version looks amazing. The city of Rockport is huge & it has a gritty & grimy look that’s very realistic.

The choice of cars is very extensive, & the career mode is the main part of the game where you work your way through, win races, earning money as you go & meeting new challengers in the game’s “blacklist”. I must also mention the movie scenes in between the races. These look absolutely superb & have real people in them, & not CGI characters !!

Finally, the police element in the game is wonderful. It’s huge fun to have the chance to make a getaway & have several police cruisers on your tail !!! Awesome.

A racing game that’s really special !!!
Customer Review: The best NFS for ages
Owning and completing this game on PS2 was a lotta fun so now owning a 360 I had to get it and play.
Let me start by saying I own both Carbon and Most wanted and most wanted is a far better game in every department.
For starters it the first one I can remember that actually races in the day allowing you to take in the beautiful graphics and overall design of the game.
The police chases A huge huge bonus they actaully make you feel tense as your wanted level goes up as you cause more chaos whilst racing.
The story is brilliant with hilarous FMV;s brilliantly cheesy and a lot of fun to watch. - Not sure if they where supposed to be comical to start with but by half they are cracking to watch.

The Cars themselves are good in number and choice, with the usual upgrade options on visuals/performance etc, with special limited parts becoming available as you win races from the main characters in the game.

An extra challenge series of some 50 set races allowing adds to the single player mode - but generally I would say getting all 100% will set you back 30+ hrs.
This is an excellent arcade racer for a good price that has an open play style of racing and the speed/panic it brings that only a few racers could hope for and in my view is only beaten by Burnour Revenge(at current time) as being king of the arcade racers.
