Gotta see what the image quality looks like on the projector. Then again, I don't see the projector being all that useful. Anyone seen something like this before?

Would you get one? These were just announced at MWC

These are actually pretty nice. Much nicer than the Xperia play in my opinion.

It's ridiculous to think that games are getting worse. I can't get enough of the latest games. There have been a lot of sequels that didn't live up to expectations though, but you can only expect that when half of their staff leaves to do new projects, or new developers take over (which perfectly describes what's happened to CoD coincidentally). I played through Enslaved and Vanquish over the last week or two, and I can tell you they were excellent. Mass Effect was very impressive too, I'm playing through it for the third time round, this time on insanity. It gave us a simple wheel to make descisions with. Back in the days of PC rpgs, you'd have to read through huge text options to select what you want to say, I think the decision wheel was a major improvement. Super Street fighter IV has been one of the greatest fighting games released, it spiked a rebirth in the popularity of fighting games.The graphics quality has progressed so much, and standards for games have increased too. Nobody will touch 2D games anymore, no matter how good they look. It's just the flow of sequels that has occurred that gives new developers a chance to make games that will still make profits and let the developers gain some experience. xDeadMarchx
Try Limbo.

[QUOTE="conmbo2"]Hi Everyone, Just joined here... Im always viewing threads so I thought I'd Join. I'm 28 and I find it harder and harder to find a video game that I enjoy. Anyone else have the same problem? I can play about 5 minutes of Gears of War 3 Campaign before I am bored out of my mind... its so repetitive. Games I loved: Uncharted Series MGS Series Heavy Rain (beat it three times) HL Series Battlefield BC and 3 Alan Wake Mass Effect Series (Favorite Xbox games) Bioshock Games I play and I like : Dark Souls (Even though the game is impossible) Fifa 12 Left 4 Dead Games I do not like or cant get into get into Batman Arkham City Killzone 2 (I know its a ps3 title) Red Dead Redemption Fallout Halo Crysis Madden Next Gen Series is terrible Sorry I could of made that list go on and on... I just thought maybe someone would have a similar taste. Can Anyone recommend a game for me? Matt

The fact you like Heavy Rain alot says alot. Part of me thinks you're looking for something different. The rest of the games you listed shows you looking for games with great narrative although you find Red Dead and Batman not in that mix. I don't have alot of time so I like playing games that I can quickly get into and jump out anytime. Here are some worth dabbling into: 1. Limbo 2. L.A. Noire 3. Dead Space 4. Dead Space 2 5. Deus Ex: Human Revolution 6. Catherine 7. inFamous 8. Prototype I also recommend playing the older game from Quantic Dream (makers of Heavy Rain). It's called Indigo Prophecy.

You'll die if you smoke.

You'll die if you don't.

I don't see a problem, so why is there one?

If your 360 controller is wireless, you'll first need one of these:

XBox 360 Wireless PC Receiver
http://www.lazytechguys.com/?attachment_id=20489

Once you have one OR your 360 controller is USB-based and does NOT need wireless you'll need to do the following:

  1. ClickStart, clickRun, typejoy.cplin theOpenbox, and then clickOK.
  2. In the Game Controllers window, clickXNA Gamepad, and then clickProperties.
  3. Click theSettingstab, and then clickCalibrate.
  4. Follow the steps in the Device Calibration Wizard.

    NoteWhen you're prompted to use the directional pad (D-Pad), use the left stick instead. If you use the D-Pad, the left stick configuration may be incorrect.
    1. To use this wizard to configure the axes of your game controller, clickNext.
    2. Leave the D-pad (left stick) centered, and then press a button on the controller.
    3. Press all the D-pad's corners (left stick), and then press a button on the controller.
    4. Leave the D-pad (left stick) centered, and then press a button on the controller.
    5. Move the Z Axis (left and right triggers) all the way up and down, and then press a button on the controller.
    6. Move the X Rotation (right stick - left right movement) all the way up and down, and then press a button on the controller.
    7. Move the Y Rotation (right stick - up down movement) all the way up and down, and then press a button on the controller.
    8. To save your configuration, clickFinish.
  5. ClickApply, and then test the operation of the controller.
  6. If you're satisfied with the new settings, clickOKtwice.
