My Take Radio

Today, my nephew down­loaded the Toy Box Mode Free Pre­view while I was at work. He said it was awe­some and he was play­ing it for a few hours today. I got home from work and bought the full ver­sion of the DLC. After the down­load fin­ished, I launched the game and tried to start a Keys to the City match. Lo and behold, dur­ing the load­ing screen, the entire con­sole freezes. Even load­ing a nor­mal, Main Game, it freezes dur­ing load­ing. I can’t even get into the game in any way. My good buddy Slick paid and down­loaded it and is hav­ing the same issue.

The only way to fix it and make the game playable again is to go into your Mem­ory Set­tings and delete the Toy Box mode under Game Files. Now the Main Game loads up fine, but I don’t have the DLC. What I’m hop­ing for is an update patch to make the game playable again. What I’m afraid of is that it’s some­how an issue with older Xbox 360’s and that it was for some rea­son designed only for the new Xbox 360 Slims. That doesn’t make too much sense to me, but it’s a pos­si­bil­ity. Another con­cern that has been brought to my atten­tion by Slick is that the Ruf­fian Games web site is down, coincidentally.

Just be warned, do NOT pay for and down­load the DLC pack. Play the free pre­view ver­sion until a patch is released. When one is released, I will update with a noti­fi­ca­tion. Here’s hop­ing for an announce­ment of an upcom­ing patch.

Scott Pil­grim is a 6-part graphic novel series that recently con­cluded with the release of the live action film adap­ta­tion and a comic tie-in game. The final vol­ume of the novel series released at the end of July of 2010 while the movie was released in the mid­dle and the game at the end of August (The Playsta­tion 3 ver­sion released first in the mid­dle of the month while the Xbox 360 ver­sion released towards the end). This is a down­load­able game that only costs $10 (or 800 Microsoft Points). This is a great value con­sid­er­ing most down­load­able games release at $15 (1200MSP) or more. Is it so cheap because it’s only worth some pocket scratch, or is it actu­ally a very good deal wor­thy of the price? Read on to find out. (con­tinue reading…)

Gotta work on those glitches though.

This game just looks bet­ter and bet­ter with each new trailer. The com­bat looks sat­is­fy­ingly vio­lent and beat­ing the trans­mis­sion fluid out of robots never gets old, at least not for me. Octo­ber just got a bit bigger.

Here we are treated to the exten­sive intro movie for Epic Mickey which in itself is a tes­ta­ment to Dis­ney movie magic.

Some­thing about the style of this trailer makes me wish more trail­ers looked this way. Using the in-game engine, we are treated to comic book style stills of the game as Cole wreaks havoc. I am just get­ting more and more excited for this one.

Ratchet & Clank are get­ting their Lit­tleBig­Planet on in this 4-player, online co-op adven­ture due out next fall.
