Ahhh right thanks!

I saw 'FREE' and excitement took over!

Still be nice to know how to do a Korean account now in preparation

[ChrisF]

Wonder if they're going to see the number of Korean accounts double over night?

[JP]

...I knew Evo-1's PSN multi-account whoring would come in handy some day...

You say whoring as if you think it's a bad thing Yoshi!

[PeteJ]

Screwjumper - just dreadful in every way. You freefall down a tunnel and from a top down 3rd person view you have to aim for green targets to smash through them. But avoid red targets. When you reach the bottom you fly back up.

I guess the idea isn't too bad but it doesn't work at all. The controls are horrible, it looks horrible and it plays horrible!

So not worth the 800 points then!

[toythatkills]

My feelings exactly. The controls were horrible, I couldn't line anything up with any accuracy, it was just an awful game. Did you also fall for the trick where they try to make you buy it? There's a message comes up, something like "not all characters are available in the trial" and then I pressed "A" to continue, and ended up on the purchase page!

I thought "X" was the traditional "unlock game" button. Sneaky so and sos.

[ChrisF]

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but theres a load of free Live is 5 themes on USA Marketplace... Halo 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Mech Assault, Ghost Recon 2 and Gears of War.

[Paulos G]

They are also up on the UK Marketplace.

[Paulos G]

Also, Carcasonne is now available for free download (two days only).

[ChrisF]

Ah cool. Didn't realise they were on the UK place - was just having a mooch on the USA one

Hexic 2 up for free in Korea now as well. Hurrah!

[Friction]

How can I get a Korean account?! I need HELP lol! I want my Hexic 2!

[ChrisF]

Just create a new account via the dashboard.. "Join XBOX Live" then select "Korea" as your country Mash any old address in, but you need a real postcode. Think I used 100085.

Mid way it'll ask if you want to redeem a subscription card, or if you want to have a Silver account. Select Silver, and then you qualify for a free gold trial.

[Friction]

Ah nice thanks. I've done it for US and Japan before but so long ago I can't remember! I do an email address though right?

[ChrisF]

If you've got one, then you can use, it otherwise I think you can create one during the process.

[Friction]

Ah right nice thanks! Think It's all sorted now

Now to see if I can get the game....

[toythatkills]

Hexic 2 are get. Don't have clue which one the trial is though!

Coming soon: Ban-me-do
