Sup guys, been yearning to play some light gun games recently and obviously found out that they don't work on LCD/Plasma/any sort of modern screen.

I've got Time Crisis 4 and it works pretty well using the GunCon 3 and the sensors it comes with, but unfortunately Time Crisis 4 itself really isn't that good.

I got House of the Dead and Ghost Squad for the Wii, but they don't use line of sight like the old light gun games and feel really floaty and just not like light gun games should do. Annoyingly, House of the Dead: Overkill on the PS3 can only use the Move controller, and using it as a light gun is the same as the Wiimote so feels terrible.

Anyway, I've seen some light guns that are made specifically for LCD's (http://www.consolesandgadgets.co.uk/catalog/lcd-topgun-all-tv-compatible-for-ps3-pc-ps2-and-xbox-p-2246.html) and from a few youtube videos I've seen of them, they seem pretty cool. Before dropping £65~ on it though I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with them and if they were any good and felt like a proper light gun.

Obviously the real answer is just to buy a CRT TV, but I don't have anywhere near enough space for one at the moment.

The last 3 tires of Inferno 3 seemed really easy. Especially with having a checkpoint on each one, I managed to get over them with only 1 fault.

@RandyF: Well damn, that's actually a really good reason. The whole thing could have probably been done a little better, but I didn't think about that.

I had read the first compendium of the walking dead, which is the first 48 issues, and watched both seasons of the show. Since playing it though, I've read up to issues 52 of the comics.

Loving the game so far, can't wait for the next episodes.

Went with minimal, there wasn't too much pixel hunting with the cursor being so big. Only time I got stuck was looking for the keys and that was because they weren't in the store.

Also, looking for a way to get the brick, it looked like it was easily in reach but I couldn't work out how to get to it.

I'm expecting lots of lasers. Pew pew pew.

@Eselhut: I've been going through the bombcast backlog as well, and the fake time travel thing is awesome.

I think it was either Vinny or Brad who just said that Halo 4 wasn't going to be on the 360.

@PillClinton said:

What the fuck? MS used to play old school jungle before their press conferences I guess. Weird.

Jungle got pretty big back in the day. Even the main theme of Super Mario 64 had a little bit of it.

@NickL: It's the same basic premise of Trials, except to lean forward/backward you'd press the left/right button once and it would shift your weight a certain amount, and then you press space to flip the direction you're moving in.

@WilltheMagicAsian: They can definitely sell us DLC tracks, these guys are working full time on this game and have spend whatever time it took to make the game, they know how to make good tracks, have plenty of time to make them and are getting paid to do it.

Sure, it can be recreated by anyone in the community, but unless they know the exact geometry of the level, the exact location of every single item, etc. it won't be the exact same track. You're not just paying for new levels, you're paying for new levels with good level design.

Also, I really hope it does come to PC, user created content would be insanse without the 360's limitations.

EDIT: And of course with new DLC they can put in more achievements which people will eat up.

@SpaceInsomniac Just tried out Yeti, really good. He's uploaded 2 more Yeti tracks as well now. Yeti 2.0 which is more fleshed out, looks a lot more polished and has more track afterwards. Also Yeti Lulz...this guy has destroyed the editor with this track, it could quite possibly be the best track in the history of all racing games.
