My 360 is dead, so I do mean Panned.

Didn't someone suggest the popping the hood and checking if the magnetic washer has come loose and resticking it?

I'll be playing:

Don't care what you're playing :p
Have no firm plans, but seeing as I got slightly back into Assassassassassin's Creed (360) I will be playing that. I've found I actually quite like just clambering about, doing the occasional good deed, collecting flags and admiring the scenery - it's quite relaxing; while taking a leisurely approach to the actual missions. The combat feels a bit wonky, but that may be more to do with me having done the tutorial about two months ago and having not played since, forgotten all the moves (if there are any) - time to put TFM in the toilet magazine rack methinks.

DMC4 (PS3) I quite enjoy playing this if I can be arsed to boot it up - it's just seriously lacking in compulsion for some reason; I think it's just a bit lacking in substance and seems to comprise of pretentious characters, big flashy weapons that don't do a great deal of damage, nice graphics with a storyline that is seriously crap and bordering on incomprehensible and gameplay that feels old and tired - if I don't play and make progress this weekend it will be getting sold on fleabay, along with a few others that need clearing from my 360 collection, I feel.

I have an urge to play Halo 3 some more, and COD4. Could one of the more zealous Halo 3 afficionados please explain to me the concept of collecting skulls - or more pertinently how you do it. I played a coop game the other week with my daughter, found the first skull, picked it up and proceeded to carry it around in my hands... WTF am I supposed to do with them if I can only carry one, nothing happens when I pick it up and I can't fire any weapons without putting it down. Or, am I only supposed to collect them in single player?

I might dust down Forza again after my loaded friend popped around yesterday to let me take his 997 Carrera S out for a spin.
