I love The Bigs. I can't seem to make any big time catches and I get a lot of homeruns robbed from me and end up losing. First game I played I lost 17-0 because I didn't know how to pitch haha.

Yea, it didn't really help that there was no tutorial or anything. But yea, it was a lot of fun!

Surf's up available in the UK. The Bigs only US ?

Oh dear, are they actually trying to sell Surfs Up for actual real money? Damn its the worst thing I have ever seen since, well I dont know, but its the worst thing I have ever seen game wise, it wasnt made by Sony by any chance?

I think it's mainly for kids, come on, give it a break.

I'm in love with The Bigs. I've played the demo more times than almost any other game demo and I've played it more than Gears of War recently..so, this game will be a buy for me once I get some money.

I thought Stuntman Ignition was a lot of fun! What did you guys think?

Stuntman was my favorite demo out of this bunch, tried it today (nope, did not get my 360 back yet, my brother in law let me borrows his again). I really enjoyed it for what it is. It is by no means a great game, but definitely extremely fun.

@ Ji@nBing - I own the wheel too, and no way in hell I would use the wheel for stuntman, just to much going on. I think you might enjoy it much more with the controller. (Y)

I did not dislike The Bigs, and actually I can see really liking it, however I did not really know what was going on with it. I barely got one hit in 9 at bats. Not even kidding.

Was not impressed at all by Ace Combat to be honest. I do not personally think there has been a good flying game since Tie Fighter for the PC. None of them capture any sense of speed I think, not sure what it is but just never like flying games at all.

Blue Dragon, I did not make it out of the first room of the demo, and I am not even kidding. RPG's are not my genre at all, and this just backed it up for me. I pressed the guide button, Y for the dash, then immediately deleted it. Just not my thing at all.

Just keep playing it, I've been playing it non-stop with the demo. The more you play the better you get..it's really hard at first, but I've figured it out.

Use your contact swing the most unless a power hitter has come up to the plate and take a few strikes and wait for a tip-off pitch which is where the green circle comes up on your screen (unless it's 2-2) be protective and take a hack at it.

I'm in love with this game!

Nice. Thanks for the tips. Was wondering that the hell the green circle was all about!!

I think I have to download it again, as I may have deleted it. :shiftyninja:

Thanks. I may give it another go. I like the idea of it.

The Bigs I sucked at too. It finally turned it off once it got to 22-0 :p

Blue Dragon is really crappy I think. If you want to give a good RPG a go, try the Eternal Sonata demo. It should be out in August, or you can get it now if you have a Japanese account. It's so well done: graphics, music, gameplay, it's all really beautiful. That's really the word to describe it. It's just a beautiful game in all aspects.

If any of you get The Bigs full game, lemme know maybe we can play some online stuff :) I'm having trouble playing online as it is with my wonderful connection :(

Also, how do you go about making a "Japanese account" so you can get Eternal Sonata et al? I can't seem to figure it out (and is it illegal or anything?)

Heres hwo I created my Asian Account ...

Sign out of normal profile

Enter the Profile section in top left

Hit Y for "Create New Profile"

Choose a new profile name

Join XBox Live

Exit session when asked

It will download an update if necessary

Continue

It will check availability of new Tag

Select No to createa new LiveID (I chose this as I didnt want to associate it with my current passport account)

Then choose Japan

I think you should be able to find your way from there :)

[edit]

On a related note, you will need an japanese address in order to create a japanese account, I just googled Japan and Tokyo address until I found one with a complete postcode (zip code for US?)

The one I used was as follows ...

New Yurakucho Building

3rd Floor

12-1, Yurakucho 1-chome

Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo 100-0006

Enter the part in RED into the postcode part, including the hyphen. It will complete the rest itself.

I did want to use Sony Japans HQ address

2-6-21, Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 107-0062 Japan

But wondered if that would be accepted :)

[/edit]

BTW does anybody know where the Eternal Sonata demo is located? I looked under Games Demos but found nothing even remotely similar, unless its one of the few with a complete Japanese name instead of English with Japanese title underneath?

Thanks found it now, its 2nd from bottom, all japanese text, just after Zegapain (downloading that also as it piqued my curiosity with its title). Total of 584.12mb for Eternal Sonata (Trusty Bell) for anyone else unsure :)

Strange how TenchuZ is listed twice though ...

Whatever Zegapain is, is it also in English? :D
Nope not the littlest iota of English, had to turn console off as didnt know what the return to dash option was :( Game is a sort of mech kinda thing set in space or something, I wanted to end it as soon as it started to be honest :)
Yeah it was, didn't even know that Juiced 2 was in development !!!
Wasn't juiced 1 the game where if you lost a race, you also lost one mor more of the cars that you had spent your hard earned cash on buying? Pretty sure that was the one, and remember being very pished off when it happened :(

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Fraud OS 11 · Posted

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
