Hi

just got a XBOX 360 as a gift and need recommendations on what games to get?

Ive always had playstations since they first come out (will be getting a PS3 soon after I get bored with the 360), mainly played car racing games (GT1,2,3 &4) and little bit of shooting and sports.

so something with good graphics, not too complicated but fun, and also multi player capable so you can play with mates.

cheers

Gears of War is fun...

ive got saints row and Tony Hawks P8 but havent played either yet... but apparently Saints Row is alot of fun too...

P.S. does anyone have Dead Rising that they dont want anymore and would sell/trade?

dead rising was discontinued about november last year for no apparent reason. You can still get it if you find it, but there are no official copies coming into australia anymore.

Also saints row is going classic soon so it will be 49.95.

+1 for Gears of War, it has offline 2 player splitscreen co-op in campain mode and is still awesome.

GRAW 1 & 2 are also both pretty good, they both have lots of multiplayer options and support offline 4 player splitscreen. I'd say that I liked GRAW 2 more than 1 in regards to multiplayer, because it has more maps. GRAW 1 had a few good ones, but some were really small and over pretty quickly. GRAW 2 looks better too. :P

Rainbow Six: Vegas has a good co-op mode as well for 2 people (can be offline) and is pretty good.

hey dude, ill throw up another vote for gears of war. its a fairly good representation of what the 360 can do at the moment and is good cause you can co-op with your mates

forget nba 07 unless your into sport games btw

graw (i havent played graw2 online yet) is a good game regarding graphics but you may find that the mulitplayer is less enjoyable than a game such as COD2.

i know COD2 was a launch game but even though the graphics were of a lower standard the gameplay (or playability if you will) was a lot better than graw

feel free to add me as well my gamertag is ' spinpsycle '

cheers

I was a big fan of PGR2 and have played a little bit of PGR3, I think it's pretty good but is a little bit easier; finishing arcade mode in PGR2 with all gold medals was insanely hard! You can pick PGR3 up very cheaply now if you look around, it also comes packaged with the official 360 steering wheel (which is awesome). But there's no 4 player offline splitscreen!

Gears of war is a must buy especially if you gonna play online.

forza 2 comes out 14 of june. I didnt like the first 1 but they have reallly, really spent some serious time into the realisticness of this one and i think it should be a gem of a racing game.

I like nfs games. both carbon and most wanted are both heaps of fun on it.

Call of duty 3 is kick ass as.. as everyones saying get a 5.1 sound system and prepare for audial bliss.

PGR3 is quite fun and its damned hard to get all platinum medals too.. specially on the cone challenges (which my mate seems to think he should be so good at even though he doesnt play video games)

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
