I just got the 3 red rings of death....I did buy the $40 2yr replacement plan through best buy and it expires in about 2 months. If they give me any trouble I'm gonna raise some hell.

Other games (cough, Dungeon Keeper, cough) have tried to turn the RPF around and have you take the role of the villain instead of the hero, but none of them have been nearly as engaging. Nice balance of evil mayhem and flat-out humor - whether it's killing cute, cuddly halflings or your minions putting pumpkins on their heads as helmets. Speaking of minions - is that the coolest game mechanic ever? I think it might be. |

I rented C&CIII yesterday. The controls are pretty slick. The only thing I've had a problem with is selecting aircraft. A way to make one of those boxes to pick multiple units is needed. I hadn't played the series since Tiberian Sun which was a while ago and it hasn't changed much, which is good I guess if you're looking to get back into it. The AI on this one if ****ing hard though. In my first skirmish I'm sitting there building my base up and in the first five minutes I've got wave after wave of enemies coming from all directions.

M$ just lowered the price on the HD-DVD add-on... not like it'll help much now that the next-gen format war is pretty much over.

anyone ever experience this:
played NCAA 08 FB and shut down around 11pm; next day, went to play again around 3pm; ....no ring of light; no power light on the console etc. Zero green lights typically seen when the console is on. however, the game and audio still showing up in HD. I figure, "ok...not that big of deal" but then, I can not connect my controller; at all. Put brand new batteries in etc. Nothing. I installed a new Sony hometheater w/ wireless rear speakers via IR from the last time I played until I tried again. Unplugged my surge protector during installation etc.. X-box has worked fine even with a 2.4Ghz wireless router within 3' for about 10 months; then all of a sudden it goes tits up. Contacted x-box etc....they said they'd send me a box to send it in for repairs. Just curious; could an over-saturation of RF signals lead to this? I hooked the console up to our bedroom TV tonight to see if it was the RF over-saturation etc; but still couldn't connect to the console. The only thing i haven't done is try to connect a differnt controller to it; but I think it's moot; given no ring of light on console; not even a green light indicating the power is on, despite the game showing up on the TV. Just curious if anyone had experienced this. I'm planning on moving my router upstairs out of the cave the the replaced/refurbished console comes back. Zero problems so far wth the 360 - I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Otherwise I'm going to PS3.

I love the mechanics but it got to be slightly frustrating in the elf forest when you have to move them up roots while avoiding water. I lost so many reds that way. oh well, I would've sacrificed them for my health anyways I had to run home to Mississippi - i've been forced to stay a few extra days and i'm really looking forward to getting back and playing this. I'll try the online portion when i get back.
