well miss out then bro!

2/21/2007 8:09:28 PM

to you i say...BAH. shrug, ill get them eventually. i dont have enough time to play it a ton as is for now.

2/21/2007 8:41:56 PM

I was up playing Crackdown until 4:30 last night

I hate it when they make games I like.

2/22/2007 9:11:56 AM

wait until gta iv comes out, you might lose your job if crackdown did this to you lol. on another note bullet witch is underrated i think. i am def getting that on the 27th

2/22/2007 9:14:52 AM

Eh, I don't work today

Almost all I'm doing is grabbing agility points, that shit is addictive.

I seriously don't play games a lot. The only other xbox game I play is Geometry Wars.

i thought about getting this game, but it seems like and 'in-between' game for me. maybe when the prices goes down i will get it.

2/22/2007 9:20:44 AM

Is the game like in the Demo where there are just the orbs all over the city?

I thought that might have been exxagerated a bit in the demo because they wanted to let you level up to the max to see what it would be like.

2/22/2007 9:50:01 AM

theres 500 orbs in the game for leveling up and 300 secret orbs

the real game is so much better than the demo. its just such a cool feeling flying across from rooftop to rooftop and leveling up your skills. the only bad things in my opinion are that its just too easy to kill everyone (but its supposed to be more arcade-like) and that there's really no variety in missions/tasks except to kill bosses.

2/22/2007 11:13:09 AM

Hopefully it is more challenging than the demo. In the demo you could pretty much level all the way up in agility/strength and kill all of the bosses in the demo in the allotted, what, 30 minutes?

2/22/2007 11:25:27 AM

I upped my Gamerscore last night by about 200 playing Marvel. I almost got another achievement in Lumines, but I didn't get 70 in 30. I got like 62. I was pissed.

2/22/2007 11:26:30 AM

^gotta be...the demo explicitly says that the powerups happen at an accelerated rate

2/22/2007 11:26:47 AM

yeah the demo accelerates your growth to get a better experience in the 30 mins....

I spend ~6 hours to get full agility

2/22/2007 12:12:00 PM

Check out this about to be released XBLA game. It looks absolutely incredible.

2/22/2007 12:38:46 PM

^Looks like a game from the makers of Alien Hominid, which is also coming out for XBLA from what I hear.

2/22/2007 12:41:15 PM

yeah, the demo was accelerated leveling up...plus, in my opinion, dont start the game off on the default difficulty, its kinda easy...make it harder

gonna try some cod3 online tonight now that i have a disk that works

2/22/2007 2:02:41 PM

WOW EVEN BETTER.

2/22/2007 8:37:58 PM

badass

I did read something where the devs claimed it would be something like the most online content ever for anything up to this point.

and fuck the april release date, sounds ready to me.

treetwista is well on his way to beating that

2/23/2007 4:19:20 PM

if some hot chick has a high gamerscore i'll beat her drawers

2/23/2007 4:37:18 PM

So I got COD3 yesterday from CC and got the first achievement in single player.. only 10 points There are like 28 more I think..So in total, if I get every achievement, COD3's gonna give me ~290 points?

2/23/2007 5:12:51 PM

most games have 1000 points (normal games, not xbla). easy ones dont give as much as hard ones. you probably get like 50-100 for beating the game. theres a ton of multiplayer ones too

2/23/2007 6:29:54 PM

yall see the secret achievements (at the bottom of the page) for blitz the league? haha wtf

something so satisfying about playing anti-armor, particularly blowing up a jeep full of people. too bad it isnt practical for most maps. seedless how is the number next to your name calculated in the lobby?

2/25/2007 5:23:12 PM

i am pretty sure that it is based on how well you do in the game at your present ranking relative to your teammates/opponents rankings and their score in the game over time.

MLB 2K7 shipping tomorrow, will be available tuesday. who's getting it and wants to catch a beatdown from me?

2/25/2007 9:08:08 PM

^^ nod, it is weird. sometimes i do pretty well but dont move. shrug.

im still trying to get the top points on the winning team achievement. the last game was close. was 19-9 with 22 points, but some guy captured the last flag and passed me. lame. this games a lot like CS for me though. i either rock the house or get totally raped, there is no in between.


and the gayest thing ever is blowing up a vehicle trying to kill an enemy next to it when your teammates all charge it and die. mad punishment.

2/25/2007 10:23:50 PM

2 new Demos out on xbox live:

GRAW 2
MLB 2K7

2/26/2007 9:27:29 AM

"$2 Xbox 360 games today at Best Buy Posted Feb 26th 2007 2:00AM by Dustin Burg Filed under: News, Deals and Bargains Today, and today only, Best Buy stores in the United States are running a video game clearance to get rid of some old video game stock. According to a post on IGN's forums, select games from numerous consoles including the Xbox 360 are clearance priced and ripe for the picking. We noticed that Full Auto, King Kong, and Ridge Racer 6 are all listed for the rock bottom price of $1.99! Of course, the games are pretty crappy, but you can get some easy achievements or sell them on eBay. Other Xbox 360 titles are clearance priced at either $4.99 or $9.99 including Oblivion CE which is only $9.99. But be sure to note that this is a clearance and the available games will vary dramatically from store to store. And for your convenience, the full list of Xbox 360 clearance games and their prices are listed after the break. [Via Digg] $1.99 Full Auto King Kong Ridge Racer 6 $4.99 College Hoops 2K6 NHL 2K6 $9.99 2006 Fifa World Cup Dynasty Warriors 5 Elder Scrolls Oblivion: Collector's Edition Final Fantasy XI Moto GP 2006 Quake 4 Tony Hawk's American Wasteland"

Today only at Best Buy. I figured someone would want to know about this. Here is the link:

i just got back from bb in cary, and as of now no games have been marked-down. i did not ask an employees about it either. i just figured i would try back later.

2/26/2007 12:26:13 PM

I just played the MLB 2K7 demo. that game is sick.

you take over in the 7th inning of game 7 of the NLCS Cards vs Mets.

2/26/2007 12:56:44 PM

i was looking foward to buying up a crapload of games after work.

2/26/2007 1:05:14 PM

same here, i was going to buy a buttload of them and then trade them in at eb games and profit, lol

Sorry guys, I thought the story was legit, but I guess I was wrong.

2/26/2007 1:20:08 PM

I called up the Best Buy near UNCC in Charlotte and asked them...they knew what I was talking about ("Oh you mean the games for $1.99?") but said they had sold out earlier today

So I think it was legit but I guess plenty of other people knew and were there earlier...oh well

hahah and I'll bet you I'm not the only one in this thread who upon hearing about this did a few eBay searches for games like 'Full Auto'

2/26/2007 1:43:21 PM

yeah i would have bought about everything game I saw at those prices and traded/sold them

When does that game come out? I'll be getting it..

2/26/2007 2:53:48 PM

^ shipping today. Will be in stores tomorrow, unless u are on the west coast..then it comes out this evening.

download the demo off of xbox live. Its Mets Cards

2/26/2007 3:01:22 PM

time to send Prey back to Gamefly to get MLB

the only reason i even had it was because my 360 wasnt working and there was no point in getting a new game, even though prey sucks

quick note about Blitz: The League...I think its pretty damn fun...sure its not the detail of Madden...but luckily both games exist...Blitz games are 4 quarter games like any pro football but the quarters are only 2 minutes....that alone is cool because you dont have to dedicate as much time just to play one game...also its certainly more arcade like than a madden game...from the cussing all throughout it to the huge hits and injuries you can tell its definitely a fun game and not meant to track yards after contact for 60 seasons of a dynasty

the injuries are pretty sweet though...if you power up and hit somebody theres a decent chance you'll injure them...they've got some neat little xray type shots of either a ligament being torn or bones being broken or knocked out of place...and then if you are injured there are different options for healing...maybe you're guy shatters his knee cap...the safe thing to do might be treat him in which case he might miss 4 games...the quick thing to do might be juice him in which case he might miss 2 PLAYS...pretty neat game though...they like to joke around about the roids a bunch lol

plus one of the achievements is called "O RLY?" haha http://www.xbox360achievements.org/home/showachievements.php?type=Retail&gameID=159
