Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 8:06 pmAnother game I played recently: Farenheit. I think it's called Indigo Prophecy in the States.
If you want to rent a game for the weekend, you really can't go wrong with. I played the XBOX version.
The game basicaly plays like an interactive Hollywood movie, where you, the director, controls the three main protagonists. The first scene is set in a cafe bar toilet. The main character uncontrolably stabs the shit out of some random guy while he is taking a leak. You job is to hide the body, and try to get rid of as much evidence as possible before a cop stumbles in on you. The other two characters you play as are the two cops tracking down the killer. It sounds weird, but the plot works itself out really well.
This game doesn't have an "energy bar" like most games, it has a mental state bar. Your character is either happy or sad (depressed) depending on what actions you take during the course of the game. For example, if you take one drink of whiskey, you get +5 to the bar. Drink any more however and you get -10. You control the characters from the third person, with the camera changing a bit like Resident Evil. Alot of the games action sequences are very Hollywood movie style. I wont give to much away on the plot, but the killer starts to see "things" after going a bit mental. You have to avoid these "creatures" by tapping the analogue sticks as direcid by the on-screen display. It's a bit like the Dance Dance... games but with the sticks on the game pad.
Some people may find this quite a tedious game since instead of controling the fight scenes your just tapping directions. The plot is very good however, and the atmosphere is brilliant. Graphics are top notch too.
I give this game a good 80%. There is good replay value but it seemed to be a little easy even on hard mode.

Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 1:04 pmIs Black any good? I heard mixed reviews.
I got Rainbow Six Lockdown last night. I was so dissapointed that they took out ALL of the mission planning sections, but the graphics and detail on the weapons are brilliant. I must say, I do prefer games with realistic guns rather than BFG lasers.

Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 2:13 pmIve only just started it really but I got it because the Edge Magazine review of it was very good. Im trusting Gamespot reviews less and less recently, I think they're in the pockets of too many developers or something.
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:21 pmNothing at the moment, althougth theres an arseload of new DS games out in the next month and a half that I want - Tetris, Pheonix Wright, Rainbow Islands and Trauma Centre.
Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:58 pmI quite like the sound of Animal Crossing actually although following my unsuccessful attempts to hijack my next door neighbour's wireless internet connection I'll have to get a USB dongle to take my DS online.
Whats the damn deal with those things anyway?! I even tried sitting in McDonalds which is supposed to have a free wireless connection and it just will not connect to the damn thing.
IP info fails or some shit every time even though the server shows up with a nice unlocked blue padlock. Bah.

take it from a guy who sits everyday answering phonecalls about wireless.
you ip address is needed to get onto the internet(each place has a specific ip address).if your using a compant laptop,there might be a ip address thats "hard -coded" on ur laptop
goto start-settings-control panel-network conenctions-righ tclick lan-properities-highlight tcpip interent protocols-properities,check and see your obtaining an ip and dns automatically.if not select them.(COPY UR ORIGINAL IP ADRESS,SUBNET MASK,,ETC to a piece of paper)
try it now and see what happens
also,amake sure your connect to the right network too.
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:53 amYeah thats all pretty much straight forward but its a bit different with the DS. On the net it says if you get a blue unlocked padlock then you should just run the test settings option and off you go.
In reality you get the blue padlock, run the test settings option and it says 'Cannot locate IP' or something along those lines. Even in those free hotspot wireless network areas it does the same thing.

Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 9:38 pmNope, nothing on the DS. Maybe you need the MAC.
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 7:51 pmnothing wrong with the MAC,easy to troubleshoot and nothing "ever" goes wrong it.if there is something,its either a firewall or some program controlling his wireless configuration
..we tend tyo tell our "guests" to use wndows or their OS to control their wireless connections
