Is it good? I don't own a 360.

Oh, ok. Are any of the rainbow games on gamecube?

Sorry if I sound like a retard but RS3?

Yeah I'm loving it, but now I'll spot these niggles you've pointed out :D

One thing - how do you charge up the sniper rifle? I was asking the other day and either nobody knew or they weren't telling :'(

Bugs and cheapness aside this is a great title and really feels like the title that RS3 was on the Xbox, get a good team of people together for ranked matches and hours of fun await.

There's some cheap weapons in this.

Sticky grenades are a pain since shooting someone running at you with a sticky will not prevent them from meleeing you with it, despite shooting stopping thr chainsaw attack. It seems the only way to stop them is to chainswa them and even then they'll probably blow you up along with themselves.

The charged up sniper shot makes the sniper better than a shotgun if used close-up since it knocks someone down in one hit, someone coming up on a sniper with a shotgun should have the advantage otherwise the shotgun's close-range damage is rendered utterly pointless.

Being unable to kill a person as they're performing their chainsaw kill animation's a bit sucky too but it seems the damage does mount up so you end-up dropping them straight after the kill, thankfully!

So, any good tips for avoiding those cheap sticky grenades and charged sniper shots?

Is Viva Pinata some kind of Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon-a-like? It looks that way, with the customisation of your garden and all that.

I initially though it was some party game :S

On the co-op play on gears of war can you play it split screen without a memory card or hard drive? because i havnt got 1 yet and its not letting me play co-op

Looks fun.

Finally got ranked on the leaderboards, played on a British server and it all worked.

Also played split-screen but it threw me right out of whack. :S

It's a great game, but Viva Pinata's better!

I haven't touched Gears since Pinata arrived yesterday.
