How do they know this? It's just someone saying that "lots" 0728 and higher have 65 nm CPUs. Did they take one apart? Has there been any confirmation of this?

Could be true, of course, but could also be someone talking complete crap.

Corvin I have no problem getting the first 6 pellets and all the ghosts my problem is after the first 4 you have to leave pellets sit without clearing the side to get all the ghosts. When I then go to clean up those pellets to get the fruit I'd say at least 75% of the time I die doing it. It pisses me off to no end. Then the three minute mark thing is purely psychological dying once at that mark wouldn't be so bad but I'm betting most of the time I string enough deaths together to kill 30 seconds with no freakin points

It's all about getting a double key level and then cause a Ghost Holocaust.

When I finish a round, which isn't often anymore, as I restart if I die, I average about 320k.
So you actually go thru a round and don't die????

It's all about getting a double key level and then cause a Ghost Holocaust.
What does this mean?

So it's pellets 5 & 6? At this part?


I've tried and tried to string these ghosts together but EVERY time I stray from the pellet path I end up dying. So getting ghosts off those two are just luck on whether or not they cross your path. I'm not exaggerating either. I've tried dozens of times, even just to nab 1 slightly off the path but EVERY time I do, it comes back to bite me in the ass.

Yes exactly, maybe those are pellets 7-8 or something? But Yes that's exactly the pattern I can't get (most of the time) if I could man that would be huge.

Yeah you were my target for the first day. I kept playing trying to beat your score because you were at the low end of 200k and i wanted the achievement as well.

I die almost every single game at the 60k mark. Every single damn time.

I started a Pac-Man: Championship Edition thread as to not bog down the main thread with discussion.

About 5 of my buddies are going to get the game and they are pressuring me to buy it. The game looks decent but I am hoping it gets a bit more fine tuned before it is released.

According to the developer of Two Worlds, Two Worlds is similar to Oblivion but meatier.

More unbiased sources seem to give the nod to Oblivion as the better game, but still say that Two Worlds is very good.

It doesn't hit the streets for another week and a half, so we'll probably know more when we get a little closer to the release date.

I made a movie once, it was like Citizen Kane but meatier.

I remember seeing Two Worlds down in the developer dungeon that's Kentia Hall at the L.A. convention center back in 2006. I was shuffled into a tiny cubicle and offered a cheese sandwich that looked homemade.

I understand the plight of the small developer when attempting to get the word out on their title lin a place like the old E3, but the demo of Two Worlds I saw was just plain laughable. The graphic engine was terrible, the fighting system stunk, and the A.I. got stuck behind every object in the enviroment.

Granted they have had a year and a couple months to work things out, but what I saw at E3 scared me out of a purchase. I'll be renting it.

Guys, check the Pac-Man thread. There's no easy way to track just DVDtalkers, so I'm adding anyone who wants in to my friends list. That way one person will have everyone and can track fairly easy.
