I feel kind of weird knowing about the different actors and titles for gex 2 beforehand despite never really playing it.

That GT5 QL was a perfect storm of problems: no install, server-side issues, and the poor UI layout made everything feel significantly slower and than it otherwise is. It was enough for me to question picking it up at all but thankfully my experience hasn't been as bad as GB's.

That's why I didn't even bother watching the QL. I knew that what could be wrong would go wrong in this case.

Epic Mickey seems alright, but it's not for me. It's clearly for kids with so much handholding.
 
I know I should've expected it, but yeah, Michael Jackson: The Experience is totally Just Dance, same broken, barely working technology and all. Maybe the Kinect/Move versions will be decent, at least.
 
Does the 360 automatically adjust your system time for Daylight Savings? I do have a 360 as well as a PS3, but it's being used right now and I can't remember if DST is something you have to fiddle with yourself.

Yes. It has a Daylight Savings On/Off toggle in the Clock setup.

Edit: I'm looking at the settings now. It does say for each "When connected to Xbox LIVE, the clock is set automatically and can't be changed."

Now I have a HUGE urge to buy one of the Gex games from PSN

Should I?

I enjoyed 2 back in the day

Yes, dude, the games are fun. Gex 2 was awesome, but I never beat it. Owned the N64 version. The first levels are a bit boring but if you stick through it there are some genuinely impressive ideas in there. Wish we could get a Gex game again for Wii or PSP/DS.
 
Can I get some examples of classic and funny quick looks? My neighbour have taken a liking to gb and I want to show him some of the really good stuff ^^

First off, I'd recommend the How to Build A Bomb series, showing them starting things up. It's a nice indroduction

Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Episode 4
Episode 5
Episode 6
Episode 7
Episode 8

Then for Quick Looks

New Super Mario Bros Wii (Fun)
Rouge Warrior (Anger)
Darkest of Days (Hilarity)
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire (Insanaity)
Noby Noby Boy (Confusion)
 
Awesome :D You guys rock ^^ We joke about rider meet horse pretty regularly, as it was pretty much his first QL. So he has probably seen most, if not all, QLs since Kinect was released.

Look for the UbiSoft game show games. Press Your Luck and Price is Right!
 
my god what a clusterfuck that first part of the GT5 quick look is. Some of that stuff is unforgivable for a title of GT's stature and the money poured into it. For all their talent sometimes I think Polyphony needs better management.
 
ok since the year is officially over release ( release wise ), and there is nothing good left ( unless they decide to do some QL for some already released games ), here is my Top 10 QLs of 2010.

10-Quick Look: The Terminator
9-Quick Look: Iron Man 2
8-Quick Look: Mount & Blade: Warband
7-Quick Look: RailWorks
6-Quick Look: Motion Sports
5-Quick Look: Blue Toad Murder Files
4-Quick Look: Wipeout: The Game
3-Quick Look: Wings of Prey
2-Quick Look: Def Jam Rapstar
1-Quick Look: After Burner Climax

Your time and date are not set correctly.
 
Kirby's Epic Yarn is the best QL, by far. It actually sold me on the game.

Thanks a lot for the update. Unfortunately it's the same thing (too many reference frames). At this point it doesn't seem like this will ever get fixed :(

The HD videos play fine now streaming, a couple weeks ago I had to download everything to enjoy them.
 
Last year in the lull they did the a random selection Xbox Indies too. Was one of my faves, hope they do it this year too, maybe including the Winter Uprising stuff.
