Kool, thanks for the advise, I think I'll get one of those Xbox 360's, actually wait.................... I bought one 6 months ago 

[Mikz]

Dawn Of War is a great 2-player.

Play it with my mates at a network game, not bad

anyone knows when the Command of Conquer 3 coming out?

i heard its going to be like Command and Conquer:Tiberian Sun.

I got the Command and Conquer first decade at last, it has tiberian sun, the red alerts and add ons, renegade ,generals and zero hour all on one dvd. Its handy with the first few red alerts -no more pis.sing about trying to get windows xp to accept windows 95 drivers.
Ps-anyone who has cleared BLACK -any advice with the final level would be grateful.

I want to buy a footy manager game (PC) . Any recommendations for the best currently available ?

[JBG]

Football Manager is without doubt the best. FM 2006 can be bought for around a tenner now, if you look around.

However, a new version will be launched soon to coincide with the new season, so maybe it might be best to wait.

[woof woof !]

Cheers JBG, hate standing in HMV peering at the PC games like someone who recently arrived from the Land of the Mentally Bewildered.

I have to say that I'm getting a bit p155ed off with the lack of QUALITY games being released for the Xbox 360, I've currently only got 2 games (NBA Live 06 and PGR3), when I first bought the 360 I used to buy games like Ghost Recon, Call of Duty, Dead or Alive, Ridge Racer, etc and then sell them if I got bored but to be honest their aren't too many games that I actually want to pay my hard earned cash for, since I sold Call of Duty 2 they released a patch sorting out the online lag so I'm actually thinkin about buying that again, apart from COD2 the only game I'm looking at buying is Tiger Woods 2006

One game I can't wait for is Forza 2 but thats not out until December.............. Come on Microsoft sort it out!!!!!
