I know that "Need for speed: Most Wanted" comes in two ver, and the Black ed has 2 extra cars or somting.

Would you guys say that the Black ed it worth the extra $$$.

I'm looking for one.

shell out some dough and buy the xbox360 controller for the PC.

i hear it works wonders

Anyone know where i can get that control?

Also is King Kong worth it for $19.99Can.

Also what about Need For Speed :Most Wanted which system(please note i have NFS:un1 and NFS: UN2 for my PC and i like the way the cars handle, so the keybord is not a problem.)


They are talking about the regular corded Xbox 360 controller. Its usb and microsoft has released drivers so it works on the PC. Where can you get one? Any local store that sells Xbox 360 controllers, just make sure you get the corded one not the wireless one.

NFS:MW Black, definitely. Problem is you NEED a controller, I tried playing it with keyboard and my hand cramped up. Not fun. I'm using the Logitech RublePad 2, I like the feel of it better than the Xbox 360 controller, that's just me though.

PoP: Two Thrones, get for Xbox for the controls, or PC for the graphics. Looks much better on the PC, but again, you need a controller.

1...Okay between NFS:MW the black ed for the PC and Xbox which has better grafix.

I played the demo with the keyboard and its fine but i am going to get the Xbox 360 controller for my PC, so that should sort out the controll issue's.

So basiclly which ver of NFS:MW has better grafix the PC or the Xbox.

....................................................................................................................

2...Also is there any game like "GOD OF WAR" for the Xbox?

If you don't have HDTV, there is no way the XBX360 version will look nearly as good as a computer running it at 1024x1248 or higher. All I can say is, with my old 9800XT on a Clawhammer AMD64 at 2.2GHz, I could run pretty much at max settings, low AA and AF at more than acceptable frames. It looked good enough for me. I also played through the game with keyboard and mouse, but I've never been a console gamer, and have played games on keyboard and mouse since forever.

Speaking of driving games, when is Forza coming to PC? And will they update graphics?

I think you miss understood me, i do have a HDTV and a Xbox, i don't have a Xbox360 just a Xbox.

So between the Xbox and PC, who do you think will have better grafix?

Depends on your PC. The XBOX GPU is inbetween first and second gen Geforce. What GPU do you have in your system, mated to what display? How much RAM and what type of CPU?

So can someone please tell me which ver of NFS:MW is better, the PC or XBOX.

And i don't have an Xbox360 bu i do have a HDTV.

SO which is better, grafix wise, control is not going to be an issue so which has better grafix PC or Xbox?

And if you guys want my PC spec's check my sig.

Edit....Has anyone played Def Jam: Fight for NY ?

I thinking of getting that game but the review said that it has a real jumpy framerate.

Has anyone of you guys played that game?

Since you have an X1800 and a fast enough CPU and enough RAM, I will say, definitely these games will look better on your PC.

I'm looking for one.
I just use the Gravis Gamepad Pro.
Its USB and works exactly like the PS1 controller.

But I only use the pad for emulated NES and Snes games.
Freelancer uses the mouse, and for everything else I have the Logitech Joystick.

Actually, if I felt like playing Descent 3 again, I'd probably use the pad.

you need to fix your sig, it doesn't link to your specs. ;) i was really excited about playing it but after 10 "fixes" and 10 system crashes i gave up. apparently it has issues with nvidia drivers after a certain release and i'm not rolling back a year for one game. they apparently don't care to patch it, so i'll unfortunately have to pass on it.

I don't understand, are you asking which system, the XBOX or the PC, will make your games look better, or run faster?

In either case, the PC: XBOX games do lag, mostly from DVD-reading. If you run it on the PC, you can always simply tone done the graphics detail in order to get better frames. Regardless, with an X1800, 1 gig of RAM and that CPU, you won't be toning down much or at all.

---->I fixed it, if it does not work now i have no idea how its going to work. I agree with you sometime some games just wont work, like i have Black and White 1- the game refuses to start the only way to play it is to run the cofig window for the game and leave it on and then click on the game icon.

Any way so what do you think about NFS:MW which system, my PC or Xbox, iam kind of leaning for my Xbox cause i will be able to have a two player game with out useing the internet.

What iam asking is, if you were to run NFS:MW on a Xbox and on MY PC which would look beter and by how much.

Would the diff be like comparing Half Life 1 to Half Life 2 (Half Life 1 would be the Xbox ver of NFS:MW and Half Life 2 would be the PC ver of NFS:MW, and therfore Half Life 2 would win cause it is a major grafix update from Half Life 1, Which means the Pc is a better ver to get) or would the diff be more like comparing Burnout Revenge for the Xbox to Burnout Revenge for the Xbox 360(In which the diff is very small if non at all) so it would not matter cause both look almost the same.

So which is it going to be?
