The best way to play video games is on a projector with a big screen to project it on. My mate hooked one up for New Years.

Hah, that's pretty cool. What machine did you have playing through the projector?

I've got a Wii, saving up for a 360 and Gears Of War. Being a massive Nintendo fanboy it's a bit unusual wanting an XBox, but you know... credit where credit's due, they got some stuff almost right. Namely Gears Of War.

We were only playing through a PS2, but it was still pretty cool.

yeah especially if you want to get a hd quality one, hence why im happy enough with my tv!

i have gears of war and i dont understand why there is such a hype about it theres nothing really that groundbreaking in it. I find rainbow six: Vegas is much better especially when it comes to online play, hands down best game on xbox live for me!!

Finally got round to giving Gears Of War a good run out after pissing about with NHL2K7 for the last two weeks. What a fab game it is. The graphics, sound, athmosphere are all great (i almost pooped myself first time i cam across a berzerker!!). Even finding cover comes as second nature once you get used to it. Gonna go on xbox live tonight and get my ass kicked at it. You've got to start somewhere :?

The berzerkers are pretty cool and indeed kack yer pants material, but not as bad as when you first come across the Corpser which is just huge...

Still getting my ass handed to me on a plate at the end of the game though :(

The Corpser was pretty imposing but surprisingly easy to brush off, but i am only playing it on casual at the moment. Playing online was pretty shitty though. I was totally taken to the cleaners :(
