gamespot gave tenchu z a 4.9 while most others gave it about a 7/10 on average. this is kind of strange, but the demo was not impressive at all. there is some fun to be had there, but its not for me.

here is two vids, the first is of a player that doesn't know what he is doing, the second one is a very good tenchu player. i think this game fails on mechanical, presentation, and ai standpoints.

i dont think your AI argument is fair since the point of the game is that if you sneak up on someone, as a skilled ninja, its easy to kill them...when they are alerted to your presence its a different story, although the guy in the 2nd video got some nice combos to knock them into the water

still though its not for everyone but i'll at least gamefly it since i enjoyed the Playstation and PS2 games

6/15/2007 2:17:33 AM

wow Raam on Gears of War is pretty hard on Insane

6/15/2007 3:24:29 AM

^^ well if you alert them they will attack, but if you run away they go back to their post like nothing ever happened, at least in the demo this is the case.

6/15/2007 10:46:31 AM

seedless thats because most Tenchu games have been garbage with few exceptions

6/15/2007 11:54:59 AM

I couldnt beat Raam on insane by myself. always had to get a friend to help me. As I said before Dom was worthless

6/15/2007 1:30:20 PM

for ace combat 6

6/16/2007 10:11:10 AM

if you guys havent downloaded Aegus Wing from Xbox Arcade


you need to do it


its free and its four player co-op

6/16/2007 10:12:07 AM

that game is fun but I suck at it

I cant get past the first level

I guess it would be easier to play with 3 other people

6/16/2007 4:47:04 PM

just give it another shot. i died the first level the first time, but since then have gotten decent at it. made it 4 or so levels in last time.

6/16/2007 5:07:49 PM

i gotta question for some ppl ab a wireless router to connect to xbox live

my old router (for the original xbox ---the black one) died so i cant connect to xbox live anymore and its not possible for me to use an ethronet cable b/c its like 80 feet away from our modem and i dont want a cord that long

i was wondering what kind of wireless router i should get to hook up my 360 to b/c i have heard bad reviews ab microsofts 360 wireless router.

Is there a real good router that someone knows of that will work well for my 360 that i can get from best buy or staples?

6/17/2007 1:53:51 PM

all of the standard wireless routers you can buy will pretty much suck. most seem to have connection issues, but if you do get it working games will not run nearly as smooth. i played using wireless for a year and a half. some games (call of duty 3) wouldnt even let me connect to the servers. other games (old mechassault/crimson skies/etc) worked fine. yet others (doa4) were too laggy to play well.

too much of a craps shoot.

" Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Impressions - First Look at Call of Duty Gone Modern Forget World War II. Infinity Ward looks to reinvent its storied series--as well as the first-person shooter genre--with a gorgeous, action-packed new sequel. By Jason Ocampo, GameSpot Posted Jun 13, 2007 9:00 am PT It can't be easy for most publishers (that aren't named Microsoft) working on first-person shooters due out this fall. After all, said publisher's sci-fi shooter sequel Halo 3 is easily one of the most anticipated games of the year. However, Call of Duty is a pretty big series in its own right, dominating the popular World War II genre with excellent single- and multiplayer gameplay. And with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward has recharged its franchise by busting it out of the World War II setting and giving it a jaw-dropping graphics update. Get ready for Call of Duty action in a modern-day war. Perhaps the biggest news with Modern Warfare is that yes, it no longer takes place in World War II, the setting that has served it so well all these years. However, with most of World War II's major battles already featured in a Call of Duty game, it was perhaps time to move on. This new game is set in a modern-day conflict--not in the near future. While the conflict that the game portrays is fictional, Infinity Ward wanted the actual combat to be rooted in today's truth. There are no fancy prototype weapons or equipment here. Everything in Call of Duty 4 is supposed to feel as authentic as possible, and Infinity Ward talked to veterans fresh from Iraq to hear their thoughts on the modern battlefield. The new game doesn't take place in Iraq. Rather, it sets up a conflict with a mysterious Middle Eastern dictator and his henchmen, who have teamed up with a Russian ultranationalist and his henchmen, thus giving them the media-friendly name of "The Four Horsemen." You'll play primarily as one of two different characters, though you'll occasionally see the conflict through the eyes of other characters as well. The first is a British SAS commando caught up in the Russian storyline, and the other is a US Marine in the middle of the Middle Eastern conflict. How those storylines intersect is the basis of the game's overall plot. Modern Warfare's story will be told mainly through the perspectives of these two characters, since there won't be any fancy third-person cutscenes or glossy news broadcasts. By introducing a modern conflict, Infinity Ward created a storytelling challenge for itself. After all, almost everyone understands what World War II was about, and who the good guys and bad guys were. Introduce an original story, though, and you have to spend a lot more time introducing the various players and factions. Still, Modern Warfare is a Call of Duty game, and that means that you're going to experience an almost nerve-wracking amount of action. The missions that Infinity Ward showed us featured the trademark intensity that the series is known for, from a nighttime shipboard assault in the midst of a raging thunderstorm to a massive air assault featuring more than a dozen Black Hawk helicopters swooping fast and low over a Middle Eastern city. In fact, the action seems even crazier than before, thanks to the fact that modern weapons and equipment are so much more advanced and lethal than their World War II counterparts. Now, every soldier is armed with an automatic weapon, and there are night-vision goggles, Javelin antitank missiles, and grenade launchers. In at least one mission, you'll serve as the gunner aboard an AC-130 Spectre gunship, providing fire support for troops below; the gameplay looks eerily like real-world gun-camera footage, with radio chatter to match. The game will feature a brand-new story and impressive new technology. However, there won't just be wall-to-wall, over-the-top action in Modern Warfare. That tends to be a bit too emotionally exhausting, not to mention repetitive from a storytelling perspective. Instead, Infinity Ward is looking to really mix things up. "What we're really going for is massive variety of gameplay, so along with telling the story in a sort of a 24, never-know-what's-going-to-happen-next style, we're doing the same with the gameplay," said Jason West, Infinity Ward's chief technical officer. So, there will be sniper missions where you have to sneak around, or the aforementioned one-off missions where you experience life as someone other than the two main characters. You'll even get the chance to experience a coup firsthand--from the perspective of the guy being deposed. Regardless of what you do in the game, it will look absolutely spectacular, thanks to the game's cutting-edge graphics engine. Infinity Ward spent a lot of time showing off the incredible level of detail in the game, including character models that seem as detailed as expensive, 12-inch premium action figures, right down to the shadows cast by individual bullets. Of course, it's hard to appreciate this when pretty much the entire world around you is going to hell--but even the chaos looks impressively realistic. While there's no large-scale environmental destruction, there is material penetration by weapons, so it's possible to kill someone who is crouching beneath a window, or shoot up through the ceiling to get someone on the floor above. "On Call of Duty 2 we were [an Xbox 360] launch title, everyone was learning and ramping up on beta hardware... So now, the artists have been trained up from day zero, so we think this is the best-looking game you'll see on a next-gen console," said Vince Zampella, Infinity Ward chief creative officer. "We've really squeezed a lot out of the hardware, and it looks 10 times better than Call of Duty 2. And I think Call of Duty 2 looks great." The single-player game alone makes Call of Duty 4 seem very promising, but toss in the multiplayer and it becomes even more impressive. After all, Infinity Ward has built up quite a reputation for multiplayer. The developers note that the Call of Duty games are among the most popular on Xbox Live, and that Call of Duty 2 was the most popular multiplayer game on the Xbox 360 for almost a year. Modern Warfare won't just be Call of Duty 2 multiplayer with new maps and weapons; there are also a ton of new features designed to improve accessibility, community participation, and persistence. Perhaps the most intriguing new feature is the create-a-class ability, which lets you create your own custom soldier, armed with different weapons and equipment, depending on what you've unlocked. Even better are new special abilities that add an almost role-playing-like aspect to the game. There are potentially dozens of special abilities, but you can choose only one or two at any given time, so it becomes a matter of choice. For instance, there's last stand, which gives you a few seconds after you're killed to pull out and use the pistol to shoot the person who got you. Heavy endurance will let you sprint farther, and fast reload will let you reload faster. Or there's martyrdom, which automatically drops a live grenade if you die. Perhaps the nastiest one we heard of lets you eavesdrop on the other team's voice communications. Call of Duty 4 will also offer brand-new multiplayer options to go with its intense action. In terms of community, Modern Warfare will introduce a Halo-style party system that will make playing with your friends a lot easier. Best of all, the multiplayer graphics look as good as the single-player. There's no sacrifice in graphical quality that we could see, and it's quite possibly the prettiest multiplayer gameplay that we've ever seen. Having the Call of Duty name is already enough to get the attention of most shooter fans, but Modern Warfare really looks like a huge leap forward for the franchise, and it's hard to imagine how this will not be one of the biggest games of the year. The shift to modern times has injected the series with new energy and gameplay, and it all looks great. But best of all, Infinity Ward has revealed that the game is already far along in development, and it's on track for release sometime this fall. -GameSpot "

i wonder if you can use your custom soldier online

i thought that was the whole point. if you cant switch your abilties mid game though it would be lame.

6/17/2007 6:12:44 PM

I wish pacman wasn't like $10...that was actually kinda fun

6/18/2007 12:03:08 PM

i just can't get into arcade games. maybe like pac-man or geo wars i can, since they have high replay value, and not only that if you ever have a girl over that isn't into video games, this is something you can use to break some ice, since it is easy to learn, and you can let her win so you can get some dawg.

6/18/2007 12:18:19 PM

If you play Frogger with a chick you might get some

If you play Heavy Weapon with a chick she might have a seizure

6/18/2007 12:31:51 PM

hahaha

i will test this and report my data here

I hear ya. I do have 9 arcade games, with the 10th one being either Prince of Persia or Pac-Man:CE. I like them because it just gives me another option besides the retail games.

My arcade games: Aegis Wing, Alien Hominid HD, Castlevania: SOTN, Catan, Geometry Wars Evolved, Hexic HD, Lumines Live!, TMNT: the Arcade Game, Uno

6/18/2007 12:36:26 PM

I use the auto-download so I have about all the arcade games but maybe like ~15 full versions...classic stuff like Contra, Frogger, etc and some other ones like Spades and Uno

6/18/2007 12:37:36 PM

yeah it is a nice option to have. i think i have been sleeping on the uno. also, i wish they would make scrabble in arcade game form, this would be the a highlight in my gaming career.

6/18/2007 12:38:03 PM

Heavy Weapon has been about the most fun I've had on one of the new/original XBLA arcade games...you should check out the demo if you havent

6/18/2007 12:39:39 PM

aight, i might just do that later today

6/18/2007 12:40:58 PM

^^Yeah, Heavy Weapon is really good. I just haven't got around to buying it yet. Maybe near the end of the year, or when I got MS points to use.

6/18/2007 1:09:13 PM

Nice to have some "dicking around" games if you are bored but dont wanna waste time. My stash includes: Alien Hominid, Castlevania, Contra, TMNT, Poker, Aegis Wing, Outpost Kaloki X, Geometry Wars, Hexic, and some demos.

6/18/2007 6:20:12 PM

i bought the backgammon when it first got on live and i love it.

6/18/2007 6:46:01 PM

they need cribbage online. aint no one to play with here.

6/18/2007 6:51:59 PM

they need scrabble online

6/18/2007 6:56:02 PM

ace combat 6 + joysticks posted above + a faceplate = $150...weak

6/19/2007 11:01:36 AM

i wanna trade someone this halo faceplate for the original white one...

6/19/2007 3:22:03 PM

im resigning up for gamefly now that ive moved (and am bored). aparently they've got another distribution center in the midwest now, so i should actually get decent service (instead of cali-florida).

any suggestions. ive got a few oldies in queue: marvel ultimate alliance + lego star wars, plus a variety of shooters: lost planet, graw 2, etc. mainly getting in now to get a start on things like overlord which wont be worth buying, but def worth playing.

6/19/2007 10:43:42 PM

Had an interesting thought about killing two birds with one stone as far as controllers go. I noticed that this lovely device has an adaptor for PS2 peripherals.



There's no way in hell I'm ever playing Halo again with a control pad after having used the Smart Joy FRAG for over a year now. It's not flawless, but it beats the ever loving hell out of the pad. Seeing as how I will eventually want a good fighting joystick for the Xbox, this XFPS could solve more than one problem for me. I have a PS2 adaptor for my X-Arcade stick, and I'd be interested in seeing if this would allow that stick to be used on the 360. Hell of a hardware workaround, but there's no price too high to pay for personal satisfaction - especially when control is concerned.

gears of war is kicking my ass, my man just dosent move like i want him to, and i keep getting my skull blown apart.

6/22/2007 2:07:43 AM

I still can't beat RAAM on casual

I've been to every online forum for tips and watched plenty of videos on how to do but I for the life I me I can't kill him

It's frustrating as fuck because I breezed thru the rest of the game and I'm pretty good at multiplayer

6/22/2007 6:27:50 AM

^
first of all, make sure you sit in the light and kneel behind the very first cement slab outside of the door. also, active reload your sniper rifle inside of the room before you exit for the duel.

- use the torque bow(when you pick up the torque bow in the room before exiting for the duel, wait around for a while and another torque bow will respawn and you will have a total of 12 torque bow shots so you will have plenty)to remove the krill from raam. sometime the krill will just leave him and you will know because raam was say 'destroy him' is a very throaty and muffled voice and his krill shield will attack you.

- shoot him in the head with the sniper rifle, best if you have active reloaded shots

- you will might have to run from one side of the train cart to the other when raam gets close - its just good timing and knowing your path without hitting a cube and being killed by the krill. to do this listen to the cole , when he says 'enemy spotted!' 'THE KRILL' wait until the big wave of krill has passed, and wait for raam's krill shield to reform after he says 'destroy him'. its all good timing. if done right you can flank him, even when he is 3 feet from you and run right pass him. and get to the other side and start at step one.

fyi, i beat him on hardcore on my first play through

6/22/2007 8:20:17 AM

yeah have the torque bow and sniper rifle and kneel behind the box...also if you notice the right side of the box is dark so sometimes you can lure the kryll away from raam just by going into the dark...then get back in the light before they attack you...only about 6 headshots from the sniper rifle on casual...if raam gets really close to you, blind throw a grenade and run to the boxes on the other end of the train IN THE LIGHT

first 25 min of the darkness

6/24/2007 11:52:23 AM

i dunno, ive never been able to get into these wierd first person shooters with magic and demons and stuff. i feel like they feel just doesnt merge well when you have fast paced action and these odd controls.

rpgs from first person (oblivion) work alright, but they feel like an rpg first and a shooter second. since i havent played the darkness, i cant speak for it, but thats my feeling on the subject.
