Oh look, one of those weird motorcycle combat things. Also known as the ridiculously long: "Simple 2000 Series Vol. 111 / The Itadaki Rider: Omae no Bike wa Boku no Mono". Unfortunately despite 24 campaigns, game types and bikes, Jacked is slightly spoilt by temperamental gameplay, hindered with glitches. It Still makes speed kings & others look like a joke. European pal version becoming quite rare. Renderware, empire interactive 2003. No chance this is 360 compatible.
Short gameplay scenes from early levels of Ultimate Spiderman. A game which gets great reviews, but felt very alien to me. I disliked the race missions throughout and found it quite difficult. Spiderman also looks like he has piles for some reason. Activision, Treyarch 2005. 360 Compatible.
Most sports titles represent a lowest common denominator in videogame entertainment for me. Quickly reduced in comparison with other genres, they feature limited repetative gameplay. Football management sims and the like, I detest. I make exceptions when I spot bootsale ( flea market ) collectables for a few pence. Quick look at gameplay from original Xbox version of Rocky. Rage Software 2002, Not 360 compatible. The later 'Rocky legends' is.
Snowboarding & skateboarding arent genres I play to often. Some pretty terrible gameplay in single race mode, SSX Tricky. Well made but I couldnt hold interest in it. Also unrelated footage of old Joytech Hardware at the end. Electronic Arts 2002. Not 360 compatible, (other SSX titles in the series are).
Chocks away! Flying the Great War British BE-2 biplane with red barrons on my tail. Gameplay footage from budget flight sim wow Feels very generic, uninvolving and repetitive at first but improves. Impressive authentic looking graphics in the skies. Not so good at ground level. This published coincidentally as famous actor, Richard Todd (The Dam Busters star) dies aged 90. Take-Two Interactive, Silver Wish Games 2004. Not 360 Compatible.
My first attempt at a tutorial, vid exercise really. Very simple for beginners: how to modify an original xbox dvd dongle. Explains how to add a superficial feature to your old Xbox dongle. You can solder leds directly to the circuit board, insulating the legs with tape or hotglue. In this easier example Ive chosen to use electrical wire as an extension. An led inside the dongle casing window also looks effective. Old footage with a re-edit. Apologies for the monotone voice! Tools used: Low ...
Unfortunate washed out polygonal graphics on robotech invasion. Almost reminds me of a gamecube exclusive :-p Much preferred to the earlier cartoon cell versions. Personal gameplay footage in fps mode from an underrated title. Vicious Cycle, Global Star Software 2005. Not 360 compatible, the earlier Battlecry is. Music composed by Bjorn Lynne (PRS).

Personal gameplay from sands of time. The prince of persia series is infuriating at times, with camera problems and glitchy feeling control. But the graphics throughout made it well worth playing.
