much like Puerto Rico the premise of the games hoarding resources and whatnot sounds boring as hell, when in fact the games are awesome. You just have to play them for yourself to "get it".

Subway: Timgad's Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.

Realized I should have posted this here too for greater exposure.
Puzzle Quest is coming to XBLA later this year - http://kotaku.com/gaming/fahey-faint...bla-256696.php
If it includes online multiplayer, I'm definitely in for a rebuy (once I get my 360, of course).

Plus the game has 3 DVD9s of pre-rendered video.. that's got my really worried too.

The VGA cable comes with an optical audio slot, which is preferred. it also comes with, I believe, the regular red/white audio out and an adapter to turn that into a computer audio out, so you can connect it through your computer speakers.
You'll still need some kind of monitor switch to switch the video between your 360 and your computer, however.

Thanks a lot for any info!

"Depending on your audio system you’ll need to either connect the left and right (white and red) audio connectors to the audio input on your monitor, receiver or amplifier. If you have a surround sound system with digital audio input, connect the audio digital output found on the AV connector of Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable with your system using an optical cable."
If you have a single audio input on your PC/monitor/receiver, you can buy a converter at Radio Shack that combines left and right inputs into a single audio input.
2) You need a KVM switch. This is a pretty good cheap one:

That will let you toggle between two input sources on a single VGA monitor.
