Qosmio Review: Part 3d

06 May

Gaming

Sorry for the delay between the last part and this part – I was ill, and GTA IV was released ;)

So anyway, I have no screenshots, as the laptop has been formatted in order for it’s return later today. However I can say that apart from the very latest games, such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (CoD4) etc. This laptop managed to run everything on full settings.

The games I tried out on the laptop (albeit briefly tried) were:

  • The Sims 2 (incl. Nightlife)
  • Command & Conquer 3 Kane Edition
  • CoD4
  • Black & White 2
  • Half Life 2/Counterstrike Source
  • Unreal Tournament 2004

For a little run down of the games and how they looked and performed, click below :)

Xbox Live – Down Again??

11 Feb

I seem to be having issues with Xbox Live again…very similar to those I was having just after Christmas and around New Year.

Also they seem to be relating to Call Of Duty 4 again which seems more than a coincidence to me. If it carries on I’ll be phoning Microsoft to see what I can get out of them for it, because I know that I’m not the only person that has been experiencing this problem. :(

 
 

Xbox Live 3rd Jan 2008

03 Jan

After almost a week of Xbox Live being down, and just generally not working, it seems that the problems are almost all fixed. I had trouble signing in to the Xbox website last night, and in finding a game of Call Of Duty 4, but in the end perseverance paid off, and I managed to do both :)

Trouble is that it was still slow, so I’m hoping that it’ll all be sorted by the weekend!

 
 

Another Xbox Live Update

31 Dec

It seems that Xbox Live is still down, yesterday/this morning I noticed it was down from about 5PM until at least 3AM (G.M.T). I can’t say why this is, but I can say that it’s to do with Call Of Duty 4, because I can’t play that online during that time at all. I can play other games online (Forza 2, Guitar Hero 3) just not COD4.

I’m hoping Microsoft get this fixed soon, because if they don’t I’ll be calling them to give me an extra month of Xbox Live for free…if it continues I’d like to think some of you would do the same :)

 
 

Update On Xbox Live

30 Dec

It seem’s that Microsoft are aware of this issue, which is good. However I noticed last night (December 29th) my Xbox was doing the same as the 28th!

Basically I turn the Xbox on, sign in, and it tells me how many friends are online then I just get the loading ring, and if I wait long enough it tells me to sign into Xbox Live. The weird thing is that if I put a game in, it signs me into Xbox Live no problems.

I think this is something to do with Call Of Duty 4:MW because I couldn’t play that online at all last night, so for the last 2 nights I’ve been racing on Forza Motorsport 2. If anybody else is having these exact same issues I’d be interested to know, as it only seems to happen around 9PM G.M.T until about 2AM.

And if you want to know who I am on Xbox Live, check the about page, I’ve just added my GamerCard! And don’t forget that comments are always welcome…unless you’re spamming me :)
