On Thursday, as Microsoft had given me confirmation that they could sort the DRM issues out, I went and bought a 360 Elite from Zavvi. It was supposed to be 270 quid with three games, but somehow I managed to get it for 260. Anyway, someone on rllmuk sent me the hard drive transfer cable which arrived a few minutes ago, and now I’m transferring everything from one drive to the other. It’s going to take over an hour! Good …

Beautiful Katamari (360)

Yeah, I know I completed it yesterday already, but there’s still loads to do. I have all the presents and cousins to find, and higher scores, faster times and online play to do as well. Much of today was spent trying to get my first 100 point score. I finally managed it (on Delightful Dirigible) after 20 or so attempts. And even then, only just. And it seems there’s a 120 point score to go for now? WHAT I also …

Beautiful Katamari (360): COMPLETED!

I had a little splurge this morning, and somehow ended up buying a new Xbox 360 Elite for £260, with three free games. I didn’t have a say in the games (Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed) which was a pain as I didn’t want Halo 3 and I already have Assassin’s Creed. And Lost Odyssey was out of stock so I had to choose something else. So I chose Beautiful Katamari! And I’m glad I did, as it’s amazing! …

My 360 RIP, part V

I’ve decided that my solution to the issues I’ve been having with my 360 are to be resolved thusly: Buy a new 360 Elite Transfer data from my current Premium to the Elite Get Microsoft to do the seemingly impossible and “flick the switch” to make my downloaded content and XBLA games playable on my Elite playable when I’m not online The sticking point is with 3. Almost everyone who has transferred their stuff from one machine to another (whether …

Must resist

I gave up on playing computer games a long time ago. Games, yes – I play them (I expect you’ve noticed), but computer games? Don’t touch them. With my recent Mac conversion, the chances of playing computer games is now even lower. Except for just one thing. I was looking for some game demos to test the 3D graphics capability of my new iMac. Someone suggested Civilization IV, which actually turned out to be quite old and not really as …

Psychonauts (Xbox)

It would appear that the Milkman is inside the guard’s head. Well, at least, that’s where I’ve been told to go. Except i couldn’t get in as I was told I needed a cobweb sweeper, which I didn’t own. So back to the shop, to find that the sweeper was 800 arrow heads to buy, and I had 200. I started to dread the trudge round collecting loads, when I saw you could buy a divining rod to find them …

Psychonauts (Xbox)

After scaling the tower again, I had to fight a tank that was being controlled by the brain of one of the kids. It was pretty easy though. Then I had to go and find Lila by the lake, only to have her eaten by a giant lungfish. So I set off underwater to try and get her back, having a huge fight with the lungfish, culminating in entering its mind and fighting through a Godzilla-type level where I was …

Psychonauts (Xbox)

I went back into the Brain Tumbler and killed the thing I couldn’t kill previously with my new shooty power. After progressing a bit further, I came across a tower, but couldn’t climb it all the way as I was told I needed to use levitation – something I couldn’t do. So I could out of my own mind again, and sought out Milla, who could teach me about levitation. This mainly involved getting to a party in her mind, …
