I tried Child of Light after seeing a lot of good reviews for it. Gave it an hour or so but it's not really my thing. Looks great etc, but didn't hold my interest. Did get GoW Judgement on my 360 as will prob play some horde / co-op with a mate and will get Army of Two for the same reason. I have Black Flag for the One and haven't really played it yet so won't bother with the 360 version.

Did d/l PoolnationFX tho - which is superb...def recommend you get that if you have any interest in pool. it's really addictive.

@drsuave: I had a similar problem - which only affected GTAV on my 360. Every other game I had worked perfectly. I would play GTAV for about 20 minutes then it would hang and just completely freeze. The only option was to switch off the xbox at the plug and turn it on again. Then I would get maybe another 15 or 20 minutes before it happened again. It's a heat thing. I sucked all the dust out of the 360 and put it in a different place, etc. I approached Rockstar who advised the usual (clear the cache, try the disc in a different 360, etc).

Then I fixed it. You know those freezer block things, like this...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Packs-Freezer-Blocks-250g-Blue/dp/B004LB38QM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1428404988&sr=8-4&keywords=freezer+block

...I just got 2 of these and placed them (on a cloth to soak up any condensation) on the 360 (with the 360 lying flat, not standing upright). After that, I was able to play for hours at a time. Never had the problem again (although I didn't do this anymore as I have a One now).

Try it. It's hardly practical, but it's cheap and definitely worked for me.

This sounds pretty technical. You may be better going straight to Turn 10 with this.

@Jaysonguy: Yeah - this is still broken. Tried to MP yesterday but just got something like "Downloading current play lists. Please wait...". It sat like that for about 6 or 7 minutes before I got bored and booted up the SP. It's weird. I mean - they must have released at least 30GB of patches since the game came out and it's still not working. Come on MS before people get so frustrated they decide to sell MCC and never Halo again!

Fallout 3. without doubt. i didn't even know it was an RPG when i got it last Christmas...thought it was an FPS! it's the first RPG i've ever played. it took me a few hours to figure out what was going on, but since then - WHAT a game!! by far the most involving, interesting, enjoyable way to spend some 360-time!! absolutely love it. i've been playing it for about 110 hours now....more than 4 full days. Beat that COD!!
