That would be Parm (the author of the article) as he's been a member of Hexus for quite a while before being an administrator on the we play X-box site.
And he hasn't had a console back yet (at least I haven't seen him logged in on my friends list)
UMK3 is already on the 360 arcade, came out a couple of weeks back.
The 360 needs a decent joystick, the D-pad is too "floaty" fro my tastes (I much prefer the snes style + shaped pad) and the analogue stick has too much travel to be any good for beat-em-ups.
KI on the snes was my favourite...
I'm running an Athlon 64 +3500, with a BFG 6600 GTOC @ Max res, med textures, no shadows, no water effects and I'm finding it reasonable (don't know exactly what frame rate as I haven't checked)
I know what you mean, When I was playing against Steve in Burnout: Revenge during one of the XBL weekends, I had a blast. He's a really funny guy.
Speaking of which, we really need to sort out some more XBL weekends, they were a great way to make friends with fellow [H]'ers
Got my camera in the week, really like it so far. My gamertag picture (for those of you on my friends list) is now my ugly mug - so now you know what I look like :)
The deal is pretty good (I went for the basic pack - cam/headset/1 month XBL/UNO) and I was tempted to get a 2nd headset...
Glad you've got it sorted out,
I've got the same joypad (although here in the UK it's a Mad Catz), the socket on the reciever is the same as the sockets on a normal joypad which are for memory cards or XBL headsets, although plugging a headset into that defeats the purpose of going wireless :)
I haven't got very far with it so far (only played for a couple of hours, and still on Imphyy), but I am enjoying it. I like button mashers, I even bought DW5: Empires (£30), simply because I wanted N3 but didn't think it was worth £50 (I eventually found N3 for £30 in Gamestation).
I'll...
actually you can download the XBL Arcade games to a memory card (I think one of the requirements of an XBL Arcade game is that the game file size is small enough to fit onto a memory card), although it's still not really practical.

I remember writing a batch file linked to the autoexec.bat so that when I booted the PC the first thing it did was display a menu with a list of my games. By pressing the right key (and, if needed, with the CD in the drive) it would automatically load the correct drivers and set the...
I borrowed Madden from one of my mates for a week before he ebay'd his copy (I'm in the UK, and know Jack about American Football, in fact I don't follow sports at all).
I got all the achievements for it in 1 week, and you know what? I found I really enjoyed the game (except for the simulate...
