Gaming Time!

Re: Gaming Time!

I got my Zelda DS bundle today, looks pretty cool! They did release it in Canada but I think they are selling very fast so at least I got one. Anyone have experience with add on battery packs for these, I have a few long flights ahead of me and looking to extend my playing time!

Re: Gaming Time!

I liked lost Planet, sorta interesting story but you have to be into single person FPS to really get into it I guess. I will say that game had some awesome visuals though. Blair I would pick up a DS to USB adapter cable and one of those USB charge pack ideas. The only add on batteries I have seen are the ones where it makes the DS twice the size and stupid looking. You should get about 10 hours on a full charge so you must be taking one hell of a long flight again.

Re: Gaming Time!

I honestly could not stand the "walking" in Lost planet, drove me crazy which was dissapointing because it reminded me of bionic commando which I loved playing. It got pretty good ratings though from what I understand.

Only 10? If it's fairly new I thought it was supposed to be close to 20hrs? I'm sure i've logged more than 10 hours to a charge playing puzzle quest, I'd say over 15. I'll have to time it next time.

Re: Gaming Time!

Well I am not sure how long Sarah is getting on hers but next week I have nearly 18 hours of flights just to get to there and I have get to back and in the spring I am looking at another flight that could be 30 hours one way

Also not sure if you guys are still playing Forza or not but there was a new track (Road America) and car pack released late last week:

# Audi R8
# Audi Sport Quattro
# BMW Motorsport M3 E30
# Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
# Ferrari FXX
# Koenigsegg CCGT
# Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera
# Pontiac Grand Am SD-455
# Porsche 911 GT1 (996)
# Renault 5 Turbo
# Renault Clio Renaultsport 197

Re: Gaming Time!

Jason you may like the fact that they are making another Bionic Commando then. Battery life also depends on the brightness setting you have the screen at etc but yes 10 hours is pretty conservative.

Re: Gaming Time!

blair the cars for forza do you donwload them from live?? i guess when i get my NEW NEW 360 back lol i'll signup for live and get this going..

Re: Gaming Time!

Yes its 400 points for the pack on Live, there was also a pack from September too. You can get the Clio 197 for free if you don't want the whole pack but some great cars in this new pack! The track is 100 points to download.

Yea, I heard, can't wait (even though I remember that game being rediculously hard).

And Blair beat me to the car pack. I actually haven't been playing forza much.

Re: Gaming Time!

I ended up picking up on of these APC rechargable USB battery packs, should end up being pretty useful, can add up to 50+ hours of life and only 3 hours to charge.

Re: Gaming Time!

If you can't get a USB to GBA cable in time for you trip you can borrow mine.

Re: Gaming Time!

Thanks Brent, I will see what I can find as I probably need a travel charger too as I don't think the stock DS charger works on Australian voltage either.

Re: Gaming Time!

I have to totally disagree. Pro street is the worst NFS I have played. The physics are horrible, the "tuning" is even worse then it is in older games, the way you go from track to track is pointless and setting up multiple cars for different tracks in such a limited way is stupid. I work with a coder who worked on past NFS games and even he agrees this one is rubbish. Forza 2 yet again, FTW.

I do agree with the tuning aspect. It sucks greatly compared to need for speed underground 2.
I also like Forza 2 alot better but don't mind NFS Prostreet.

So i finished Call of Duty 4, on novice that is. When you finish it on noive are there different missions on veteran and the other difficulties?

Re: Gaming Time!

Zelda on the DS was really good. I still have to go back and try to get all the hearts and boat pieces. Is the Simpsons game any good?
