TopGunKnacker Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 its taking a while to get back into the swing of things, the fun is still plainly there to see but the skills arent! working on turning round with the ball, my passing game and most importantly scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 SWOS has taken a back seat to the might that is Castlevania SotN. It took me a while to get going on it, purely because like a few other games we've talked endlessly about this year, stat building in an action game means that the game doesnt really show itself until you've levelled up a bit. I'm currently trying to remember where all the blocked routes are now I've got the mist form. Hendo made a good point to me the other day though, that playing this one really shows how little the series has progressed since. Also to please illdog I had the music going through my surround sound and it was awesome. However today it's been drowned out by Alice in Chains, sorry ill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose thats it really, you detonate your craft over the enemy in an effort to set off a chain reaction of explosions for massive points. Thing is your time is constantly running down, so you have to use your ability to end the exposion so as to collect more time icons before you set off another chain reaction for more points. Obviously the longer you leave a chain reaction the higher the score, but the longer you leave it the more time you run out of - it becomes very tactical.

Tee hee, only jesting. I didn't really get on with it, but I was tempted to buy it anyway just to support one of my childhood heroes until Minter went into throw-toys-out-of-pram mode.

Pikman Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I know this is off topic (kinda) but how can I get my month free xbox live membership? I only have silver and gold at a cost to choose from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Choose silver and it will give you your free month of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You should get it automatically when you create your gamertag through your xbox. I didnt get mine either because i created my gamertag through the xbob website on my PC before i got my 360, and so downloaded my account that way...

spatular Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 i think you just select silver and it gives you the free month? never done it myself though.

Shin_Seffron Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 £34.99 at Play.com for 12 months is the cheapest Ive seen it anywhere on the net. Unfortunately its out of stock at the moment, but Im sure Ed'll pop along soon with a cheaper alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
