SOAL

 

Last night, I played Skies of Arcadia Legends for the GC. I hadn't played it in a long time, because of SL.

Well...

I was finding it very difficult to zoom all the way round my character. It was annoying. It effected my gameplay.

How did it effect  my gameplay? Because, I couldn't rotate the camera all the around Vyse.

I was having difficulty getting used to not having to wait to rezz.

I continued to play, thinking that I would get used to console gaming. And yes, after a while I was happily thumbing my control stick.

I still perfer the DC version of SOA. The facial graphics aren't as 'square-lined' as they are on the GC.

Wait! How much is postage for that XBOX 360?

 

I can understand being excited about the release of the new XBOX 360.

What I can't understand is why people are buying them off eBay.

These people need some patience in their lives. It would save them a butt-load of money!
