I'm sorry, I didn't really like it. I ended up trading it in for Republic Commando, which I enjoyed a lot more.

I'm not sure what it was I didn't like about it, considering it had a lot going for it.

I've got agree with Hendo. Don't worry about the effects pedals and such. Infact, it may be better if you pick up a cheap acoustic guitar with nylon strings to learn on, as you can learn to strum and pick and sound pretty good.

I'm with you on that one. Half the tracks on Burnout Revenge and Tony Hawks 1 through 20 are as good as what's in my CD player atm anyway.

It's definitely the cache - I had EXACTLY the same problem with my copy of Oblivion. Here's the reply I got from the publishers when I complained: Dear Sir/Madam Thank you for contacting Take 2 Technical Support. Oblivion uses the Xbox 360 hard drive extensively to cache (copy and reuse) game data. ...

Hehe, my favourite lyrics are a bit 'Fight The Power', and remind me of a heated political debate I had with an apathetic student. I asked what he'd be doing when the revolution came, and he said 'probably watching it on TV.' That was both a funny and chilling comment. Anyway, my fave lyrics are by ...

I used to listen to Killers by Iron Maide when playing Elite. Wrathchild was great for taking out pirates, and there was a soothing instrumnental number in there I used for docking, before I had enough cash for docking computers. These days though I just listen to either in-game muisic or the echoes...
