i have a widescreen hdtv and when i play games it's full screen, but when i try to watch movies with my 360 it just plays like it was a regular tv, and the sides of the screen are black, even if it's a widescreen dvd.

can anybody help me out?

alright, i prefer gears hands down, but that's neither here nor there.

also, gears must have done something right if it's the 360 shooter that all other 360 shooters are compared to. Until halo 3 came out, anyway.

Here's a good question to the rest of you folks. What do you think is needed to make a boss fight a good.... boss fight.Giff1988

i think the most important thing is the feeling it gives off. it needs to feel important, it needs to be happening for a reason, and you need to feel the consequences afterwards. the last boss needs to feel epic and it needs to be hard. anytime i beat a final boss on the first try, the game loses points in my book.

[QUOTE="meangoldfish"]fewer and fewer shooters have boss battles nowadays. they're considered unrealistic, a super powerful person/being/whatever. and for better or worse, modern shooters seem to aim for realism more often than not.BlindEffekt

not quite what i was going for, but whatever.

i'm aware that halo isn't realistic, but it's still not the type of game where there is one giant monster at the end that after you kill it everything is safe. the enemies in halo are organized and tough, they themselves have classes and are put together in a very realistic way, even if they are aliens. there is no single thing to wipe out and fix everything.

that's what i meant.

Final Fantasy Tactics.

It's my favorite game.
