I'd be able to say more if I played the GC version of Zelda but I don't think the controls feel tacked on. Feels quite immersive with the swishing of the Wiimote, even without the 1:1 mapping to the sword. Aiming works well too. I'm happy with my purchase (looks like I skipped the evil customs taxes too ).

Nice one

Aren't you going to have to import all your games though, bit of a pain in the ass?

I imported all my Gamecube games, and I'll do it again for the Wii. I played more Zelda and the twilight side looks niiice. Forgot to take pics though, too engrossed in the game

To sum up quickly graphics are noticeably pants compared to 360 etc but when you get over that, you realise its sooo fun! Back to Zelda

(Sorry about the pic quality, I only have a cheesy cam-phone)

Are you playing this on a HD tv, if so what cable are you using?

Yep, just using the composite cable for now. I might be forced to do the component hack job on the cable if my component one doesn't come soon...

Is MotoGP 06 worth getting? Or would it get boring fast if you're not a fan of the sport?

Good enough for now? Bah, I'm 'stuck' with one for the foreseeable future. Sucks badly not being able to play any old Xbox games that aren't PAL-60, but asides from that it looks pretty decent;

Me and my trusty G3k4. You can keep your new-fangled M-TAR's, 552-C's, SCAR-H's and M8's; G3 + ACOG every time

a bit more GoW goodness

this game is awesome

Those last 2 posts calmed my worried over picking up my 360 tomorrow

Just out of interest, you said you play at 1280x720 on a 19" widescreen? I thought the 360 only hit out 720 then 1080 in high def?

I'm assuming thats just using the VGA cable, hmm, so would it be displayed at 1680x1050 on my 20" widescreen tft? :eek:

fergie666 · 2 Dec 2006 at 03:44

no, it will be played at 1280 x 720

the 360 doesnt support that res (i think)

i have a samsung syncmaster 205bw (20") and i am running at 720p and it looks superb. thats using the vga cable

the 360's native res is 1280 x 720 iirc

hope someone corrects me if thats complete rubbish lol

[Death] · 2 Dec 2006 at 05:51

yea 360 native is 720p

NumptyUK · 2 Dec 2006 at 08:39

we dont want screenshots of the Wii, we want vids of you swinging the remote around like a loon

I was holding off a 360 till after xmas but im so tempted to splurge on one today after lookin at the gears screenies.

Ahh i see, my bad, thanks for that

And larger monitors, specifically those with a higher native res won't have problems/not like running at that res? I know its a whole different kettle of fish, but acidentally hitting a pc game into 1440x900 made a game look terrible & blocky on it, just trying to get my head around it all for when i pick up the 360 today

Call of Duty 3 - 360

runing.man · 2 Dec 2006 at 11:11

Some more Gow - 360

Graphics on GOW are truely awesome, never seen anything like it. The cut scenes are immense, the one when the helicopter crashes and that big massive thing kills the captain bloke was truely amazing, I was just sat there in total awe. The scary thing, I think they will probably still improve!
