To get a 10 a game must do something never seen before. While this game may have an awesome story and be pretty as hell there's nothing truly revolutionary about its mechanics. GTA4 got a 10 because it was the first time someone had created a whole city that truly felt alive. When I first got it I spent a lot of time just riding around in cabs enjoying the scenery and learning my way around.

Why no torrents? My internet is really flaky and a torrent is easy to resume. Also you would save on bandwidth.

do 360s have little flat watch batteries inside like computers do to keep the bios settings and clock correct? if so it might be dead.

I posted this on my blog earlier and thought I would share it with some game nerds that might appreciate it.

on my original xbox i used the component cables with my SD tv which looked fantastic and allowed me to use the optical out for surround sound. when i tried hooking my friends 360 up to my tv with his component cables that signal was all scrambles since it was trying to run in 480p which my tv doesn't support. i just got a 360 of my own and i was wondering if there is a way to get the component cables to work in 480i or if i'm stuck using s-video for better picture quality and surround sound.
