Recently I turned on an Xbox 360 and was presented with four red lights surrounding the power button. After the huge amount of online discussion about the “RROD” (Red Rings of Death), my immediate reaction was to panic!
Whilst worrying about whether this premium console was still under warranty and if I’d be several days without being able to play my Xbox 360, I turned the console off and began checking all of the connections. To my surprise, this was infact NOT the RROD problem, but something rather minor that can be fixed easily.
So, what was it that caused 4 red lights on the Xbox 360 console, and how did I fix it..?
So, Sony/Playstation have temporary “exclusive” rights for the Ghost Busters retail game in Europe. Annoying huh? Well, for those of you who are a bit impatient you will be pleased to know that you can still play it now! (well, shipping takes 24 hours but you can play it before the UK/Europe release date).
Ghost Busters on the Xbox 360 is “Region Free”, meaning that if you buy a copy from, say.. Canada, it will work on your European Xbox 360 console. Woohoo!
Damn, I just can’t get enough of this game at the moment. Whilst I’m not great at the online skirmishes, they are incredibly addictive.
Since I got back from my holiday last weekend (and just before I left) I have been pretty hooked on this game. Whilst it isn’t as deep as “Command and Conqueror” and other PC-based RTS games, Halo Wars is still very entertaining. For some reason it reminds me of when I used to play Warcraft 3 over and over and over again.
Like most of you I have been following the E3 lately and finding out information on the fantastic lineup of games for the Xbox 360. With all the big media sites out there, I didn’t feel that covering the E3 would offer anything new or unique. Those who want to find out about the new games could easily do so on hundreds of other blogs and websites, so I spent my time reading, twittering, and gaming instead.
Another new trailer has been released for the Batman: Arkham Asylum, featuring Harley Quinn. I’m not sure if they will be doing one of these for each of the characters in the game (it will be interesting to see how many there are), but the game is getting more and more interesting.
Originally I thought this game would just feature the Joker and loads of inmates/henchmen. I had no idea that there would be more! After a glimpse of Killer Croc I assumed that he might just be a cameo or sub-boss. Then there was Bane, and now there is Harley Quinn.
Who else will be joining the enemy roster? I can’t wait to find out. Who do you think will be the next villain to be revealed?
