^ Its released already? It's on the top of my list..

I downloaded the NBA Street & the Def Jam demos. Street is really good. Def Jam ain't bad. I just got to get used to the controls. I just bought Lumines Live!, so I'm playing that A LOT. Got almost every bit of content except the advanced pack. That was 600 MS Points, and I only have 200 now.

2/11/2007 1:04:45 AM

i'm thinking that i'll pickup the new battle of midway game this week

2/11/2007 1:42:10 AM

battle of midway is a fun fun game

haven't even really gotten into the campaign yet, just tons of multiplayer

2/11/2007 3:37:24 PM

NFL Blitz demo is pretty nice although it seemed pretty easy

2/11/2007 4:56:56 PM

bullet witch looks hot

but from the videos it might just be a rental.

2/12/2007 7:05:10 PM

LOL, Halo 3 will feature a "shutup button" for online play

2/12/2007 8:34:49 PM

Hill 400 on Call of Duty 2 might be my favorite video game level ever.

I was up until 5 replaying it last night.

2/12/2007 9:28:44 PM

^^ would be funny as fuck if that was the use of the X button Bungie is tryna keep secret


and dunno if any of yall played the crackdown demo online co-op, but it was laggy as fuck

IGN review says the issue has been address and a day one release patch is already ready for release

2/12/2007 9:38:39 PM

good to hear, i plan on buying

the demo was fun as hell

2/12/2007 10:01:23 PM

i wasn't impressed with the crackdown demo at all

now nba street, on the other hand

shit is on point

2/13/2007 12:06:00 AM

I seriously had a blast just running around and getting agility points...

jumping from building to building... that's all i did...

And throwing cars was fun too if you got strong enough

and I was happy.

when we had the original xbox live tag thread i sent an invite to everyone. ive only played with 2-3 ppl on here, but have a lot of ppl's names. good way to find people just in case.

that said, id really like to play some small arms or GoW (i just started playing).

2/15/2007 9:23:38 AM

yeah if you had somebody on your regular XBox friends list and you imported/updated your XBox account to XBox360 you will still have that/those friends

2/15/2007 9:25:56 AM

yeah, it had to be

my xbox tag was not the same as my 360 tag

Awesome. I played the demo again last night and hit a Gamebreaker Triple Dunk last night with A.I. FIVE POINT DUNK. I was like "Are you kidding me?"

2/15/2007 10:06:18 AM

Mass Effect and Bioshock will be amazing this summer. Both those games are AAA titles and must-buys.

2/15/2007 1:04:10 PM

i'm looking foward to the rainbow six: vegas player's pack red edition more than most of the games coming out this year

the only games i will buy this year:
assassin's creed
guitar hero II
halo 3
forza motorsport

this will be the first year i will not buy madden, unless ea gets their shit together and decides to actually improve the game this time

2/15/2007 1:10:57 PM

^ gta IV? resdient evil 5? these assassin's creed, and MAYBE halo3 are all i am buying, unless end up buying a ps2 just to get gowII. other than that table tennis online, and cod3 online will last me for a great while.

2/15/2007 1:21:51 PM

gta 3 got really boring for me. same old shit. i'll rent it and see if it blows me away.

resident evil 5 i will buy. but is it coming out this year?

[Edited on February 15, 2007 at 1:41 PM. Reason : .]

gta 3? you mean liberty city? fuck that, get down with san andreas

GSF 4 LIFE

2/15/2007 1:49:41 PM

haha, in case you are joking i mean gta VI sorry, lol

2/15/2007 1:57:29 PM

btw "GSF 4 LIFE" doesnt mean "Get a life"

it means "GROVE STREET FAMILIES FOR LIFE MOTHERFUCKA WHAT!!!!"

2/15/2007 1:58:49 PM

twista you live at sylvan park?

2/15/2007 2:26:28 PM

i used to...from about august 2000 until about august 2003

did i see you there or somethin?

[Edited on February 15, 2007 at 2:32 PM. Reason : .]

2/15/2007 2:32:24 PM

naw, i just thought you said recently that you lived here. i was going to ask you what you thought about the free wireless set-up that they have here now.

2/15/2007 2:52:55 PM

interesting...we had dialup when we were there lol

we had a 2 bed 2 bath for under $600 a month so the complex in general is priced well

although during the ice storm of 00/01 or whenever the street was way too steep for my 2WD lol

2/15/2007 4:06:15 PM

so i sent my xbox back to microsoft...question:

should i buy a core system at walmart, only take the console out of the bag (leave the controllers, cables, manuas, etc in the plastic)...play it for a couple weeks til my 360 is back, then return it to walmart with an excuse like "yeah i bought it for a present but my friend already had one"?

2/16/2007 11:50:18 AM

lotta places have a short return policy on electronics, might want to double check before trying.

2/16/2007 12:35:02 PM

^my friend did that with his xbox a couple years back. Didnt have a problem with it then, things may have changed now though. I think they will look to match up the serial numbers from the box and the actual 360.

2/16/2007 12:44:32 PM

well the thing is, i would actually be returning the xbox i bought...just after microsoft has sent my first xbox back to me...so i wouldnt actually be trying to return a broken box, i would be returning the xbox to walmart that i bought at walmart

but yeah i need to check on the time frame thing

although one of my buddies got the "circle of doom" or whatever those red lights are called...went to walmart...bought a new 360...swapped consoles...returned it...he said they opened the box and everything looked packaged up so they returned it...and what i would be doing wouldnt even be that bad

[Edited on February 16, 2007 at 12:51 PM. Reason : .]

2/16/2007 12:50:33 PM

i knew i should have gotten a 360...i really want to play that game "what do i do while my $400 paperweight is getting RMA'ed"
