I played the demo of ME3 but all the talk about species of aliens, planets, spaceships, this and that gave me a headache so deleted it, sounded too much hard work to catch up on the series. the graphics were quality though but played better games!

My XBOX 360 has overheated and whenever I go onto live it just lags out and turns off.
Can anyone recommend anybody to fix it and any idea on a price?
Thanks.

I'd try Microsoft themselves first, I've nothing but praise for their customer services.

I got a free repair on my console after my two year old yanked and twisted the disk tray; I was in warranty, but I didn't think for a minute that accidental damage would be covered.

If they consider the overheating a known fault, you may just get a free fix too. Worth a quick log on to the xbox website, they'll tell you via live chat whether you're covered.

Even if you are not covered, they are often very cheap to repair through MS anyway. Always worth ringing them.

The little lads getting an increasing interest in playing on the xbox. Just wondering if people can recommend easy to play kids xbox/xbox 360 games, at a reasonable price (eg I'm not paying £15-20 for Cars for him not to play it).

I understand a Wii would be better, but wondered if anyone had suggestions.

Just playing fifa street, Quite enjoyable so far, and a few different game types to keep in a bit more interesting. Still unsure as to whether its worth 40 quid though.

Any 360 owners played Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet? I really liked the look of it last year when it came out, it's won a few awards I think and was released on PC yesterday so will probably pick it up.

I rented it and realised I pretty much have what I'd want just in the demo.

Pretty much sums it up. This could easily have been a downloadable extra to fifa 12.

4, pretty much any animated film he says atm, although would say Cars is probably his favourite (this month).
