Sims 3 - How to start or grow your own Garden Xbox 360

2012-01-26T00:20:00.000-08:00

This is a relatively simple task which Sims 3 makes very difficult. Firstly, you need to acquire a gardening skill. This can be done by purchasing Vol.1 of Gardening from the bookstore. Then just read the book (by clicking on your sim -> inventory -> choosing the book.) Once your sim has read the book, he will get a gardening skill and some seeds.

To plant the seeds, go outside to some grass. Now access the buy or build mode. Then enter family inventory, press the right bumper and find the seeds. Just click on them and you can place them.

Then enter live mode, click on the seeds and press plant!

Note: This works for Xbox 360 version.
Some seeds require a high gardening skill in order to plant it.

Manually Open your Xbox 360 Harddrive/CD Drive Tray

2011-10-11T09:16:00.000-07:00

So I have already got a few posts up on this however with my Xbox now giving me the same problem I decided to post a solution that has worked for me. It is very simple and easy, requires no tools except a paperclip.

The problem I had was that my tray would not open hence i could not put a game in or take one out. The solution is simple.

1) Make sure your Xbox 360 is plugged in and ON
2) Secondly, remove the faceplate from either of the Xbox
3) Removing the face plate exposes the tray and just below the tray there is a little hole.
4) Press the eject button on your silver tray and while its stuck and the Xbox is trying to push it out, insert the extended paper clip into the whole and move it left or right.
5) Your tray will now open

(In the picture above, the hole where you insert the paper clip into is a small hole under the eject button, more accurately under the "O" on Xbox 360 engraved on the tray.)

Jonah Lomu Rugby Challange Trailer

A Trailer of the previosuly mentioned Jonah Lomu Rugby Challange Post

Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge

2011-10-11T09:05:00.000-07:00

So in relation to my last rugby post regarding "Rugby World Cup 2011" game, being exceptionally disappointing, there is still hope. The Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, available on Xbox 360 and PS3 is the best Rugby game out on the market currently. Although better than Rugby World Cup 2011 it is still rough around the edges, with a few problems in relation to gameplay, broken and slow graphics. However overall its a winner with Rugby fans and if a rugby game should be bought it should be this one.

A bonus this game adds, is the ability to add and create tournaments and then create and edit teams with relation to this tournament, essentially, you being able to add the Six Nations, World Cup or local derbys onto your game.

The other plus, is that it has a tutorial allowing you the opportunity to learn how to play the game whereas Rugby World Cup 2011 was missing this.

Overall, a decent rugby game, although it has its flaws, the best option currently available.

Rugby World Cup 2011 - GAME!

2011-08-23T07:09:00.000-07:00

Remember the 2008 EA Sports Rugby Game? Well youve waited 3-4 years to be.. disappointing. The Rugby World Cup 2011 game, being released at the normal retail price is just disappointing. Having removed ALL tournaments except the World Cup, having a friendly game mode and an odd International Test and Practice session, this game boasts nothing that Rugby 08 didn't have. Infact Rugby 08 could be seen as a better game comparatively. The graphics are just as poor with a pathetic crowd and game play. The players are all generic-looking-like. Just like the old PS2 graphics of FIFA etc, where all players looked more or less the same. In short this game is a disappointment, over priced and total rubbish.

Resistance 3

Need For Speed: The Run

2011-08-20T04:45:00.000-07:00

IGN's post on Need for Speed: The Run :

Need for Speed: The Run has one of the best set-ups for a Need for Speed game ever. Players must compete in a field of 200 in a race from San Francisco to New York, and it's not just for fun. The game's protagonist – Jack – is a marked man, and only by winning this cross-country race, can he save his life. The idea is that The Run will offer an intense racing experience backed by a story component that really gives players a motivation to be the fastest across America.

In my personal opinion this game isn't looking too good as what E3 is making it out to be. The previous Need For Speeds have be utter disappointments when compared to the likes of Need For Speed: Underground, or Most Wanted. My opinion? Stop trying to integrate traditional racing based skills with new age concepts. Bring out NEED FOR SPEED: UNDERGROUND 3!

PSP 2 - Revealed

2011-01-24T02:28:00.000-08:00

Sony have announced that they will be releasing a sequel to the Playstation Portable - however, there has been very few details on the product itself or its release date. However many rumors confirm (if that is possible) that Sony will be announcing an official release date for the PSP 2 some time this coming week.

Official news on the gaming console is that it will support 3G connectivity meaning faster internet connection without the need to rely on Wi-Fi connection. However 3G may not appeal to consumers who have internet caps or financial issues. This will cause the new PSP to become more expensive altogether.

Quick Hackers Tip for Xbox 360 Live

2011-01-20T04:45:00.000-08:00

For all of those gamers out there who are passionate about their Xbox 360 (they're many) you would've noticed when connecting to Xbox Live recently an update which Microsoft prompts you to install. Beyond all the garbage of fixing that bug and making this and that run smoother Microsoft has added a little component in that update- which once installed, will alert them of any copied Black Ops or MW2 games being played online. This will then cause your online feature for these games to SHUTDOWN.

Just a friendly tip. Beware.
