There's a pretty major dashboard update coming early tomorrow.

Waiting patiently on Gears of War.....if you have a 360 this is one of those 'must own' games.

Just pre-ordered Gears of War from Circuit yesterday. Free faceplate, which is pretty cool. I cant wait.
I havent done the X-box Live thing. Im afraid I will like it too much and never want to leave the house. |
Right now my main game is Madden. I am not afraid to admit though that I have spent as much time playing Pac-Man on X-Box live arcade the last week. The classics never die.

Take a look at my gamercard. I've spent ALOT of time play Live Arcade because I compete with my wife for Achievements... I'm not ashamed to say I've spent HOURS playing Zuma and Bejewelled 2. |

I play COD2 pretty much exclusively up until next week when I'll get COD3. I hope to get RB6 as well. For those of you who hate playing the general public I'll recommend the site where I built my friends list up to about 90 great people Married with Children Gamers |
Quote:
That is the trick I would think. To get a group of online friends to play regularly, schedule times to meet online etc. A buddy of mine at work keeps wanting me to get on the BF2 PC online with him and his buddies. He is waaay to into it for me though. I think I will get into the online thing in not too long. I still need to tie my Home Theater and my PC together. |
Add me to the list, and thanks for the links.
http://card.mygamercard.net/gelsig/orcinus+kc.png As much as I love GRAW, the teenaged kids with Celine Dion voices and sailor mouths running non-stop gets old real quick. |
So...did this take the place of the "Handy Dandy XBL Gamertag Emporium Hut"?

I apparently just schooled the French national team in a motorcycle race in Test Drive Unlimited. Zinedine, Thierry, Claude, Djibril, Gregory, Sylvain, and Willy ain't got nothing on my Kawasaki Z1000.

I know everyone's busy having orgasm after orgasm with GoW, but I must briefly interject to mention that Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is awesome in its own right. A veritable assload of fun, it is.
There's so much variety that I doubt I'll ever settle down with just a few characters. Deadpool, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Wolverine, Blade, Luke Cage, the Fantastic Four, Colossus, Moon Knight... too bad Nightcrawler's not playable. |
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is very fun, as is Test Drive (Psi, wait until you see the pure ignorance that is terrorwrist's painted car collection..we'll get together sometime soon).
One game that I think I'm going to be forced to buy is Viva Pinata. Despite the childish graphical look, the game itself is very dark, at least according to other's impressions. Forcing a son to **** his mother and then murdering their offspring with a shovel in order to advance in the game? Sounds good to me! EDIT: Since Amazon has Viva for about $46 shipped, I had to get it. Plus, this commercial is rad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svg-DvNARKE# |

Awesome. A recently-rescued Ghost Rider (who ****ing RULES) falls off the bleedin' ledge like a twat, then Spider-Woman and Blade succumb to the sheer numbers presented by Mephisto's minions. I then flit around with Deadpool like a chicken with my head cut off, manage to stay alive, and finally take down Mephisto all by my lonesome.
|
I rented Call of Duty 3 for the first X-Box. It's fun. I'd play it more if I wasn't supposed to do homework.

Quote:
We usually roll with a combination of Deadpool, Wolverine, Iron Man (as War Machine) and either Captain America or Colossus. |

Superman Returns demo is on the marketplace tonight...it's not terribly impressive, but is fun to mess around with. Nothing next gen, however.
However, I can't argue that is a ton of fun to pick a car up and hurl it into oblivion...or people, whichever is nearer. :D |
Quote:
this is my biggest problem so far with this generation. superman returns is basically the same game regardless of which version you buy. the 360 is simply a port of the others. so you pay $60 for SR, when you can get the same experience for the ps2 for $40. /rant |
Quote:
It really depends on what game you're playing. And it's not gonna be any different on the PS3. It usually takes about a year for developers to really start tapping the potential of the box. |
Quote:
The experience was helped by my realization that Superman is a dick, so I couldn't help but make dickish comments as I rescued/froze/****ed around with people and things.. |
Quote:
i never said it was. SR is a port. many other games are ports, and it sucks that this next generation wont really be that until the old generation dies off. and you can make the case that ncaa was a port from madden 360 and in some ways that hurt the game. but thats another rant. :D |

This generation is the XBox 360. In reality, your problem is with a SINGLE GAME - Superman Returns. |
Haven't downloaded it yet, but I read the rainbow six vegas multiplayer demo is out on xbox live now. Another game I am looking foward too.
|
ncaa was built off the madden 360 engine. it was completely tweaked for the ncaa style but still contained some of maddens shot comings.
fine, replace SR with [insert any game that went across all platforms and cost $20 more on 360 with no basic difference.] |
Quote:
And yes, cross-platform games are often ports. It was like that with the XBox and PS2, why would you expect it to be any different with the XBox 360? FWIW, the PS3 will have the same exact issue. |
So I went to MicroCenter today and picked up an XBOX 360 ($100 rebate). I already have a fairly nice PC that will run all the latest games, but getting a 360 with Gears of War, COD3, and Halo3 down the road.....I couldn't resist. Now I have a bit of buyers remorse, and I'm trying to talk myself into keeping it. Heck, I have to spend another $220 just to get one game, the wireless network connection and Gold Live.
I have a 7 and 5 year old, so I'm trying to rationalize it also by saying they can use it also (just a few kid games so far). The thing that makes me think "keep it", is it's ability to serve as a media center for my plasma. I have pics and video burned on my pc, and this should allow me to view on the TV hooked up to the XBOX, correct? |

Three words: XBox Live Arcade My kids AND wife LOVE the arcade games - particularly Feeding Frenzy and Zuma. |
Quote:
How much do the arcade games cost? |
Quote:
Most of the games are between 400 and 800 points. The cards run about $20 for 1600 points. So the games themselves are about $5. And some of them are classic arcade games like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Smash TV. |

My brother wants an XBox 360 but my parents say he can't have it, cause he needs to do his homework. Dang. I thought this might be my chance to get to play it when I came over.
|
I guess the next question is....which games to buy first? I'm more of a shooter/sports game guy....don't really have the time or patience for RPG. Here's my Christmas list, in order of "want":
Gears of War COD 3 Rainbow Six: Vegas Madden NBA 2K7 Any other recommendations? |

i've had a lot of fun with the MP but have had MORE fun with CoD3 MP |
Anybody with a 360 played Quake 4? I'm a fan of the Quake/Doom series and was curious if it would be worth the purchase when I snag my 360.
|
Quote:
Quake 4 is a great game... for a mouse and keyboard it is way too fast actioned for analog sticks, IMO. another problem is finding games on xbox live.. the lobbies are almost ALWAYS empty.. sucks download the demo off the marketplace (if you're connected with live) |
I think my best friend pissed his pants last night when the Berserker exploded through the wall and murdered both of us.
I know I did. |

Don't have the 360 yet, but it's coming. Just trying to get a gauge of what games are worth the 50-60 bucks. |

What games are worth playing? I just bought a 360, and i need to know what are good games. I gave up on trying to get a nintendo, plus i already had a xbox live subscription, i am ready to go back to play online. I am making my return to online play. lol
I prefer action and sports games, not a fan of single player rpg's. |

Gamer Tag is kcxiv if anyone wants to play some madden or something. |
Anyone getting games for xmas? I am wanting FEAR and Battle for middle earth 2. I have GoW and Rainbow 6, and madden :whackit: , any games you all would recommend?
|
Is it me or all games are getting boring?
R6 (similar to Halo) is getting stupid & redundant. GoW is redundant also - Although story mode rocks. Madden's AI sucks - no gang tackling - ball going through people - bombs are too easy to complete. I'm looking for a first person game similar to Ghost Recon & /or GR Island Thunder. Ghost Recon fugged up big time when the went away from the gameplay of the original & Island Thunder. Now these games are too unrealistic. The take cover feature in GoW & R6 are too unpredictable and make it hard to shoot to your side while taking cover. The original Ghost Recon mastered this as you could peak your head around the corner - there was no you can see around the corner by moving the right thumb stick because of the 3rd person mode. I've heard FEAR is dumb also. Hoping it gets better than what's currently out there. |
i'll pick up need for speed carbon in the next few days.. i'm really looking forward to Lost Planet (out in june)
i'm most excited about The Lord of the Rings - The White Council .... this rpg sounds awesome.. and if they throw the fighting engine in from oblivion should be sweet. http://www.ea.com/lotr/white_council/concept.jsp |

Madden is lame, i thought i was going to get hooked on it, and i didnt. It has the exact same plays as the 2005 madden on xbox. I understand that some plays will be the same, but they havent changed AT ALL. I took the game back after renting it, and i have no desire to play it.
Tomb Raider was a damn fun game, was a bit short, but i enjoyed it alot. Also, been playing fight night round 3. its a pretty good game, but kinda easy as well. I will be trying out Gears of War soon, Also, i heard a game called Lost Planet is supposed to be pretty damn amazing. |
Anybody played Tiger Woods 2007 or Fight Night Round 3?
|
Several people here said FNR3 is a kickass game. I'm going to buy it when I'm done with NCAA.

For you guys playing EA Sports games, has EA fixed the annoying glitches we've seen throughout the years? I've heard complaints about online play.

I also love the lack of any sort of on-screen display. (If you want to know what kind of shape your boxer is in, you judge by his bruised and bloodied face and slowed reaction time.) |

it wont have the NFL license. I just hope this is correct, becuase i cannot wait to play a 2k football game again. If this rumor is true i will have this game the first day its out. I cannot stand Madden. Thank god. |
Quote:
What specifically are you talking about? I'm not a Madden fan, but NCAA on the 360 is a superb game. |
Quote:
You may be one of 500 or so people in the entire world that will pay for an NFL game that features nostalgic, rather than current, players. If the author truly thinks EA will feel any pressure from this, he's sadly mistaken. |
Quote:
While 2k may not break sales records of Madden,i can pretty much gaurantee that the gameplay will be better, if it in fact does come out. EA sports is sloppy at making games. And believe me there is alot more then 500 people that will buy the game. EA is just lazy at making games. They have no reason to improve thier product. And i als wouldnt be shocked if the game is released at 30 bucks or so. Personally, i dont care if i dont get the game everyone is playing. They can be sucker and pay 60 bucks for a horrible game. I will be playing a game that is fun. Well if its true, if not, then whats another year without a football game. its been 2 years already. |
