Four player Metal Gear Solid coming to PSP.

Would have thought that this would have been better suited for the PSN but, hey...

I have recently been downloading films from the XBL service. It's a decent enough system that works well. Just need to sort out the pricing/range of films. I urge people to try it.

I can't say that I've ever been remotely tempted to download a film on the 360. The high price and one time viewing thing really puts me off. For the most part the cost of renting a film on that service is only one or two quid less than simply buying the dvds. That and seeing as HD doesn't really wow me, unless it's in a game, the whole shebang is useless to me.

Studio Ghibli are already collaborating with Level 5 on a DS RPG: Ninokuni.

Nice trailer, albeit one without gameplay beyond knowing it's going to use the touch screen of the DS. I promise I'll shut up about it after this comment, seeing as no one else seems to have any memory of the game nor interest, but when I finished Grandia yesterday I was left thinking it was the kind of story that could have come straight out of a Miyazaki film.

Started playing Halo 3: ODST earlier. *Snore*.

Were you even the least bit surprised? I only ever used to play the multiplayer because you could have three guests, but now me and my bro play Left 4 Dead instead and have much more fun.

On that note, roll on Left 4 Dead 2. Really looking forward to playing as the new infected and seeing how the new weapons change the pace of the game, especially the grenade launcher.

No, not surprised. It's just that whenever it's been a while since I played a Halo game I start to forget how bad the series is. Then another one comes out and I think "maybe this one will be better", so I give it a go and it turns out to be just as rubbish. Still, having a low completion ratio annoys me and it gave me an achievement the instant I started the game, so now I can't wipe it off my games played record and I'll have to finish it. What a slog this is going to be. At least it was free.

Apparently theres a Brutal Legend deo on the xbox marketplace...probably only for gold members. Someone get it and tell me what you think

Chris is playing a demo of this as I type, it looks pretty

I'll see what I can do. I'm a little distracted right now though because that Knights of the Old republic 2 mod I've been waiting for has finally arrived and is dominating my game time.

Orly? Which one and where from?

I've gotten as far as I can be bothered to go on the Batman Challenges. Got all the medals on Silent Predator but the fighting challenges are so bloody infuriating that I just can't be bothered with them. It means that I'm missing out on 4 acheivements though (16/24 medals, 40+combo and perfect combo) but I really can't be arsed with them. Instead I downloaded Shadow Complex. So far so good.

The Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker demo is brilliant, anyone with a PSP who likes MGS should get it, they got rid of the awkward control schemefrom PO and have a brand new one. The jungle/woodland environments they've managed to render is impressive,as well as the general look of the whole thing

It's by some guys at a site called Deadly Stream. It seems the original effort by Team Gizka has fallen apart thanks to its shitty forum and woefully rubbish team leader/only current member.

Screenshots?

[zeden]

There aren't any as yet, it only came out a day or two ago. There are a few teaser videos that the team made though, including one from the HK droid factory that was cut.
In leiu of a social life, something I'm completely lacking right now, I think I'm going to get pissed and play Sith Lords all night. Happy days...

Dosen't exist my man.

It must just be the Yanks only then It's mentioned in the news bit on Penny Arcade

[UnderSpaced]

Yeah, the Brutal Legend demo is out over here in the US. I have a website link to download so you can burn to a DVD and play for PAL XBOX 360s if anyone's interested.
