1. On OOT. Get Song of Storms, bombs and boomerang. Go to the tree just inside Hyrule castles fence (past all the guards, but before you meet Talon). Play Song Of Storms, and drop down. Blow up the wall on the left to reveal a gold skulltalla. Kill it, lock on to it and throw your boomerang. As soon as it comes back towards you, get into the portal to take you back above ground. You get the token, but the spider is still alive, meaning you can repeat to get as many tokens as you want, as long as you save it and are careful. A little tip I remembered for no apparent reason. Might be useful.

2. Geist looks ooo soooo sweet. Just watched the vid again. Me wants. Bit of genius and polish, and maybe online options, could be best shooter of recent years..maybe.

3. Ooo. Hitman 3 info and F-Zero vids at C-E. Go go! Apparently Hitman 2 has had terrible sales on the Cube. Stupid Eidos for releasing it so blood*y late! Cracking game though........

Ah yes I remember that one. Not really a big fan of some of the areas with re-spawning enemies.

Anyway that aside I have just watched the footage. Very very impressive by the looks of it despite it being a total rip off of Halo's opening where you have to get to the bridge.

The opening to Frontline was excellent though but the rest of the game wasn't really up to much. Looks interesting so far though.

Nah. It's one of the later levels where you're fighting in a ruined city, taking out tanks and things.

It does well and truely rock.

Which one is that? Is that the one in the old German house which leads up onto the roof with the church and grave stones?

I am buffering now the 16.1mb video :)

It's worth paying £14.99 for the Anaheim Knights level.

Not the CGI, they've got the opening of Pearl Harbour. Looks quite a lot like the opening of Halo actually.

Get the latest movie.

Is that the opening CGI?

I am thinking of getting Frontline as a local store has it for £14.99 new on the Xbox. I was one mission off the end when I rented it but to play the opening again is worth the small admission price.

Have you seen the footage of MOH: Rising Sun on IGN yet?

WOW!

Looks so much better than Frontline.

Indeed it is.

I am bored too. I just wish Blockbuster rentals weren't so darn expensive!
