I'm just glad you can buy more songs for the game. Adds replayability.

1/25/2007 6:47:43 PM

I use to kick ass in double dragon. though I admit I would always just elbow the fuck out out of people then maybe a couple of knee strikes for good measure.

SO YOU ADMIT YOU WERE DOWN...SORE LOSERMAN!!!

im still waiting for mine, i guess it should be here early next week (was mfg 12/8/2005). goddamn ups not shipping on weekends.

1/26/2007 7:48:27 PM

at least they pay for shipping and from what i've heard they either fix the system or give you a new one

i had one of the older (big) ps2s and mine fucked up after a couple years and i got a new one...that one fucked up after a couple months...i paid 15 bucks or whatever to ship it back to sony, they sent it back a couple weeks later, one day later it fucked up, and i went and bought an xbox(1)

1/26/2007 7:49:57 PM

i was lucky. i had an original run ps2 that never died. that said, i didnt play it a ton after the first year cuz there just werent games i was overly excited to play. pulled it back out a few years later to play GoW, then realized nothing else woudl beat that so i sold it.

1/26/2007 8:05:23 PM

Yea me and twista had a pretty good game going. I was up 15-10 in the first and he went on a nice little run to take the lead, then we traded blows in the 2nd quarter and it was 21-20. Smush Parker already had 10 points for me, haha.

1/27/2007 5:41:29 PM

I got Table Tennis over the weekend. It's pretty good. It was only $20 at Best Buy.

1/29/2007 9:00:56 AM

^ I beat it in the HARD mode.. couldn't imagine beating it in the EXPERT mode..

Btw, I have the Godftaher game for sale / trade.. if anybody is interested.

1/29/2007 11:33:18 AM

Does the VGA cable provide higher detail than the component cables for a 32" 720p tv? I can't really find a concise answer anywhere, what's the difference?

1/29/2007 2:56:44 PM

^i would think component would provide a better picture in any scenario but i'm not positive

i never was a huge fan of ghost recon games (they were alright), but GRAW was quite fun. we'll see for number 2.

For all the fans of the NFL 2K series, feast your eyes on this:

Quote :

"2K Sports Returns to the Gridiron Forget Madden, 2K Sports gives you All-Pro Football 2K8. by Douglass C. Perry January 30, 2007 - Quietly and in its own way, 2K Sports never gave up the dream of making another, better football game. Today, with little aplomb, Visual Concepts announced the return of non-Madden football in the name of All-Pro Football 2K8 -- news that will surely excite the masses. Other than its arrival on next-generation videogame systems this summer, 2K Sports provided no other details. The site says the game will feature the "legendary gameplay, innovative features, and outstanding visual quality sports gamers have come to expect from 2K Sports." IGN predicted this in a recent article, including speculation that 2K will sign up individual retired pros to get around EA's stranglehold on the licensed football market. "Football gamers have been awaiting the return of the 2K series," said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "All-Pro Football 2K8 will deliver an authentic next generation gridiron experience and we are happy to give fans another choice in the football category." We'll have more on All-Pro Football 2K8 soon. "

1/31/2007 3:45:06 PM

^so regardless of the gameplay...would 2K even be able to MENTION the NFL or any NFL teams?

1/31/2007 3:48:44 PM

I don't know. I wouldn't think so considering that Madden and EA has the licensing rights of the NFL for like the next 10 years or something like that. I think that they could talk about their accomplishments in a positive like. What 2K Games should try and do is get the license to the CFL. I know that sounds a little corny, kinda like what EA did to get the Arena League and making it current-gen only (PS2, XBOX), but I would like to see what 2K Games could do with something like that.

1/31/2007 3:53:43 PM

I still think its shitty EA did that. no competition means no innovations in game play. They turn out the same games every year. and slap a new year on it.

1/31/2007 4:00:10 PM

except not really

1/31/2007 4:16:56 PM

no, they wont be able to use any teams, names, logos, etc

and nfl2k5 wasnt really that dope, with the charge move bullshit you could bust 40 yard run averages, people just hate on EA so much

ive said it before, ea gameplay with 2k presention (for football at least, nba2k7 is heat) would be dope

1/31/2007 4:25:29 PM

i think hova agrees with my stance that EA rules with football and golf and 2K rules with basketball

or more specifically

madden > nfl 2k

nba 2k > nba live

1/31/2007 5:32:06 PM

so, for people who track it....when exactly is Halo 3 coming out

november or spring like some websites say?

1/31/2007 5:35:55 PM

Halo 3 Demo - Spring
Halo 3 Full-Game - November

1/31/2007 7:05:12 PM

When the first Madden for 64 came out they had the NFLPA license but not the license for the teams

So they had the real players but generic uniforms and logos and team names like Charlotte, Foxboro, and Minneonapolis

1/31/2007 7:19:51 PM

woot my xbox is back. finally can try GoW

1/31/2007 7:30:21 PM

So I think I'm going to buy the Def Jam game when it comes out shortly. I feel like I would already regret it, but we'll see

2/1/2007 10:25:23 AM

ever hear of renting?

2/1/2007 10:59:10 AM

^^I'm kinda iffy on the Def Jam game right now. I'll have to play the demo first before I make a decision. Even if I do buy it, I'm probably going to wait since I'm going to have NBA Street Homecourt & God of War II in heavy rotation.

"Guitar Hero II Update An Xbox 360 version of GHII magically appears at our doorstep. Details and movies! by Douglass C. Perry January 29, 2007 - A large package arrived at out door today. This usually isn't a big surprise as we get all manner of toys and goodies at IGN, but seeing as how it was from RedOctane, we were particularly excited to rip into the box and see what it was. Neatly wrapped inside was a playable Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II and the X-plorer guitar. Nevermind the bullocks, here's Guitar Hero II! Coming to Xbox 360 this March, RedOctane's musical wonder is a near replica of the outrageously fun PlayStation 2 game in play style and looks, but with a few upgrades and customizations for the X360 version. We received a previewable build, but the review version will feature "remodeled HD graphics" and improved audio quality, online leaderboards (weekly and monthly), downloadable content on Xbox Live Marketplace (including new songs, game themes, picture packs, and other items), and 50 different Achievements. Last, 10 new songs were added to the game disc, making a total of 74 total tracks all told, with more available via download. Rip up the 10 exclusive new songs. The "remodeled HD graphics" (RedOctane's words) aren't shockingly different, but the resolution is sharper, giving the simplistic graphics a nice new edge. The other stuff is pretty basic (leaderboards and improved audio), although 10 additional songs is a great bonus. The Achievements were well thought out and feature points for things like Beating Trogdor and Thunder Horse for 10 points, getting a 1,000 note streak in Cooperative for 10 points, refusing to play an encore for 10 points, or failing a song on easy for 10 points. There are 1,000 points all together and RedOctane broke the points out widely and with a sense of humor. The 10 additional songs built into the Xbox 360 version include: Billion Dollar Babies (as made famous by Alice Cooper) Hush (as made famous by Deep Purple) Dead! (by My Chemical Romance) - Master Track Life Wasted (as made famous by Pearl Jam) Rock N Roll Hoochie Koo (as made famous by Rick Derringer) The Trooper (as made famous by Iron Maiden) Salvation (as made famous by Rancid) Possum Kingdom (by Toadies) - Master Track Drink Up (by Ounce of Self) - 1st Unlock Kicked to the Curb (by Noble Rot) - 2nd Unlock IGN's Editorial Director Tal Blevins, a notorious GH fan, ripped in to three of the new songs: Possum Kingdom by the Toadies, Salvation by Rancid, and Life Wasted by Pearl Jam, and had this to say about the Xbox 360 version: "Possum Kingdom is the original track from The Toadies and therefore sounds just like the radio version, Salvation sounds like a good cover with decent vocals, but the voice of Eddie Veder is not so convincing on Life Wasted. Eh, at least it's not as bad as the Kurt Cobain on Heart-Shaped Box. "With the additional songs on the Xbox 360 version, the song tiers are mixed up a bit differently than on the PS2. They incorporate the new songs into different tiers. Possum Kingdom and Salvation are in the first tier, and Life Wasted is in the second tier. I haven't had time to unlock any more since we just got the game this afternoon, but it shouldn't take too long to get to all of the new songs." The X-plorer guitar, besides differences in shape, shows slight modification (click on the image above for better visual detail). For the Xbox 360, the X-plorer offers a D-pad and an Xbox 360 Media button at its base, plus a jack for a headset so you can speak with others online, a requirement that's consistent with all of Microsoft's controller peripherals. While the X-plorer neck felt much thinner than its PS2 counterpart while we were playing, it is actually only 1/8-inch narrower in width (not depth) than the PS2 guitar. The colored buttons are squared off at the top, unlike the rounded ones on PS2, and the distance between buttons is exactly the same, as is the distance between all the keys and the strumming bar is also the same. Another physical addition is the location of the strap connection, which fits on a central location so the guitar can be flipped more easily for left-handers. The wired guitar features a bent controller cable that connects at the bottom of the base, and doesn't get in your way as much as the straight-fed PS2 guitar cable. The tremelo bar also felt slightly stiffer than the standard PS2 version, although that may be because this is a brand-new guitar and our PS2 guitars have seen plenty of use. IGN previously has inspected the additional jack located on the bottom panel of the X-plorer, and it's still there on the final retail unit. The odd-shaped proprietary jack doesn't fit an Ethernet or a normal phone jack. We speculate it's for potential future add-ons (perhaps pedals or effects boards?), to hit the market at some future date. There is still no word on a wireless X360 guitar, but a RedOctane representative did tell us that RedOctane and Microsoft are still in discussions on the matter and that details will be hammered out shortly. "

I know a lot of ppl are getting GH2, so I posted this from IGN's website.

2/2/2007 11:28:16 AM

Wish they'd release a left-handed guitar, but I guess fixing the strap is a step in the right direction.

2/2/2007 11:43:51 AM

i was playing r6:v last night in calypso casino on multiplayer. 2 fucking matches in a row a guy who had the package wasn't paying attention to the clock and forgot to score it when people were yelling for him to do so. i got so pissed off i slammed my headset and broke it. 40 minutes of playing time on assault team and all i got was 600 points. i started off the night so happy after getting sgt first class and orange camo. now i can't bring myself to play online for a while.
