i gave my little review for the game. should tell you that i like it a lot as well.

6/27/2007 2:53:35 PM

actually, buy it for $50 from CC this week only, if you beat it and dont like it or something then you can sell it! i like it, its fun and refreshing

reviewers are complaining about how its only 10hour game and multiplayer isnt awesome...yeah thats because it wasnt supposed to be a multiplayer game, i hate when reviewers try to review something one way when its not that way at all, like a mainly single player game. anyways, i sat there for 2 hours and i dont think i scratched the surface. length depends on how long you play around and stuff, im sure its short if you just run through it like any other game

6/27/2007 4:08:29 PM

yep, i watch the tv a lot and look for collectibles. i spent probably two hours alone just doing that.

6/27/2007 4:24:21 PM

have any of you tried multiplayer yet? Does "not good" mean "it's not halo"? Because...obviously not all games are halo and gears

6/27/2007 4:30:52 PM

i have not, but from the videos i have seen it looks par, maybe does not have long lasting appeal tho. but i have cod3 online until cod4 comes out anyway

6/27/2007 4:32:56 PM

the game wasn't intended for multi. i believe it's 1 on 1...one human, one darkling...i may be wrong though. i read a review that said the creators laughed when asked about multiplayer because it was just to let people play as a darkling...i am probably wrong though.

6/27/2007 4:33:09 PM

WAY off

you can play human - human, darkling-darkling or mix and match them

with up to 16 people i think.

6/27/2007 4:36:47 PM

i think its 8 players online, but yeah everyone is a mobster and you can switch into a darkling at any time...i read in some reviews the said its like quake used to be stuff, etc...

i havent played online yet but its got deathmatch, team deathmatch, ctf, etc...

i heard though that theres issues with lag on the servers and theyre addressing it

6/27/2007 5:27:41 PM

BTW if you haven't downloaded the ShadowRun demo yet...do it!!!! It has online play and is a fun new concept for a FPS!

6/27/2007 5:28:44 PM

the old-police will now issue you a citation sir

It was a reminder for all of our new viewers out there, Bob.

6/27/2007 5:34:27 PM

naw but i will

6/27/2007 5:37:04 PM

I like plenty of games a lot but I wouldn't necessarily buy them

6/27/2007 6:40:11 PM

that Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is pretty boring

6/27/2007 7:26:05 PM

agreed^

i gamefly'd it and we played some co-op for like thirty minutes until we put it back into the sleeve and into the mailbox the next day

def jam: icon was a hell of a rental, though

the fighting is kinda eh

but the graphics, music integration, and story mode is dope as fuck

6/28/2007 2:18:26 PM

^cool i'll have to add that to the queue

marvel seemed initially like it might have some replay value since there are so many characters...but i dunno...boring...same moves over and over...fairly weak graphics...didnt really like it...maybe if i was big into comics or something, i dunno

6/28/2007 2:39:52 PM

the darkness has some parts that feel like a different xbox 360 game...i won't say which one because i don't wanna spoil it, but you'll know it when you get there...it's kind of unexpected.

6/28/2007 4:45:53 PM

so i haven't used my 360 in 2 months and signed on today and was treated to a free download of Austin Powers! When did this start happening?

6/29/2007 12:03:59 AM

huh?





i got to the end of gears last night, havent beat Raam yet tho... that big nigga took 12 torque bow hits and then some grenades and didnt die...

6/29/2007 12:21:26 AM

yeah I had super problems with RAAM as chronicled on the previous page of this thread

finally got the fucker tho

and wtf do you mean with the Austim Powers nonsense?

6/29/2007 12:30:45 AM

on the xbox live tab there was a mcdonalds advertisement that says "download austin powers for free" so i went to it and now i'm downloading a free copy of the movie. i knew you could buy tv shows and movies now, but i didn't know they were giving free stuff out like this

6/29/2007 1:11:37 AM

cool I guess

itd be even cooler if they gave us movies less than 10 years old

6/29/2007 1:17:08 AM

they randomly give out stuff for free every once in a while

some south park HD episodes were free once, they have movies for free every once in a while

don't worry, you'll keep having to pay for extras in the games you've already bought

remember back in the day when this stuff was free? Or if you waited 4-5 months it became free? Gone are the days where video game companies actually care about the customers

6/29/2007 7:56:28 AM

Im really enjoying forza

Cant get enough

6/29/2007 8:54:13 AM

project gotham 4 is due this fall. not trying to compare it to forza. anyway, i am pretty much buying ever top fps this year, except for halo 3. i am just tired of that game i played so much of it and i just can't take the looks and sounds of it anymore.

6/29/2007 8:56:59 AM

red ring of death FTL. damnit

6/29/2007 11:39:41 AM

Forza bricking the shit out of systems

Quote :

"In what appears to be an effort to conceal the over 900 replies gamers provided on the official Forzamotorsport.net forums about Forza Motorsport 2 crashing on the Xbox 360, Microsoft has deleted the long thread, now stating that it’s “exclusive content for registered forum users” only. However, the thread was removed entirely, even to registered members. This comes after the thread was revealed and reported on yesterday, gaining plenty of attention. In the thread, hundreds of gamers posted their stories on what happened to the 360 when playing Forza 2, and expressed frustration, anger, and disappointment."

6/29/2007 12:05:52 PM

pretty sheisty

6/29/2007 12:06:46 PM

so are they just going to keep pushing back the dates on the 360's qualified for semi free fixing as they release games that are going to keep causing them to crash?

I am really afraid of what games like GTAIV and HALO3 are going to do to my 360.

6/29/2007 12:37:20 PM

I saw Hour of Victory at EB yesterday

I checked online and it sounds like a crap WWII shooter.

Sounds like I'll be waiting for Medal of Honor: Airborne and the new Brothers in Arms.

6/29/2007 1:11:34 PM

hahahahaa

they deleted the thread...awesome

"what problem? we haven't heard of a problem..."

6/29/2007 5:48:42 PM

hearing stuff like that makes me feel guiltless when i pull walmart swaps

6/29/2007 5:52:29 PM

hour of victory got the worst review that i have ever seen on the internets

6/29/2007 11:59:40 PM

^^^ HAHA that was funny.

6/30/2007 5:41:16 PM

marvel ultimate alliance is a nice change. after playing lego star wars for a few hours i forgot what i good hack and slash game was supposed to be like.

what made lego star wars bad:
-bad platforming just leads to frustration
-somewhat slow

it was cute and had a nice sense of humor, but i just didnt want to keep playing. im sure marvel has no replay value after you finish, but it is good at what it does. too bad all the faggy superheroes are in it. im forced to stay with colossus, spiderman, iron man, and iceman cuz everyone else is too lame. oooh wow, spider woman, ms marvel, mr fantastic, what great choices.

6/30/2007 9:53:20 PM

if you have rainbow six, the black edition map pack is out now for free. not sure if it's gonna stay that way or not, but i know earlier in the week it was released for $10 then pulled from marketplace for a few days. now it's back, free of charge.

hopefully the red pack will be out soon for free.

7/1/2007 1:58:45 AM

just got splinter cell: double agent in the mail

prolly gonna check it out after work...reviews look good and i liked the last couple

7/1/2007 8:35:40 AM

MLB 2K7

Free download of Olympic Stadium (former Montreal Expos stadium) in XBox Live Marketplace...if you start the game up on XBox Live it will ask you if you want to download it

There will be more stadiums in the future to download, maybe/probably to pay for, but this one is free

7/1/2007 8:46:09 PM

beat raam, downloaded new GoW map packs (one of which is free) and bought The Darkness this weekend

7/1/2007 9:53:05 PM

huge fallout 3 article on ign. woot.

7/1/2007 10:05:59 PM

i beat the darkness friday...pretty cool game...i still have tons of stuff i need to go back and do.

7/2/2007 12:05:34 AM

dang that was fast

I guess that's a game you can blow through pretty fast, but has tons of side items to try and collect?

I'm still up in the air about that game...I'm getting a little FPSed out. I want to save it up for BioShock and Halo 3

7/2/2007 8:09:45 AM

i am playing it on hard, and trying to blow your way through the game would be pretty much unsuccessful. i have been playing since day one and have not finished it yet, and thats only because i have only played about 1 hour in each sitting, and explored as much as i could outside of the objectives. i also play games on he hardest difficulty available in general (expect cod2 and 3), and try to get the most out of the game in the first playthough, since i usually only play game once and thats it.

7/2/2007 8:25:08 AM

oh for those that don't know, there is a gta iv theme and picture pack om marketplace for free, and its bad ass. just go to where you can't download the gta iv trailers and you will see it.

7/2/2007 9:32:03 AM

^I downloaded both the theme and picture pack. I really like the black Rockstar logo. Badass.

I'm currently playing Command and Conquer 3, and I'm currently stuck on the Croatia mission in the GDI campaign. It's a lot of fun. I got the new Booster and Tokyo Club Mix packs for Lumines Live over the weekend. Good stuff. NCAA Football 08 in about two weeks, and I am very excited.

7/2/2007 2:00:37 PM

TimeShift video looks pretty cool... but I heard the demo (not available for download yet) was kinda weak last year, but has improved

7/2/2007 2:44:20 PM

damn, i was gonna get this for the ps3...but i gotta get it for 360 now

"Missile Command fires onto XBLA Atari's arcade classic has all systems go for Xbox 360 launch this Wednesday. By Tom Magrino, GameSpot Posted Jul 2, 2007 12:09 pm PT When Atari announced it would be bringing six of its classics to Xbox Live, it didn't take a rocket scientist to predict which Wednesday the publisher would choose to light up the skies with ballistic missile explosions. Today the publisher sends word that its arcade classic Missile Command will launch onto Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, July 4, at 2 a.m. Pacific. Like its arcade original, Missile Command forces players to man three antimissile batteries to defend six cities from a barrage of incoming ICBMs. Players will be able to team up to repel the invasion locally or over Xbox Live. And as with many other XBLA games, Missile Command will feature updated visuals, music, and sound effects, as well 200 achievement points. Missile Command is rated E for Everyone and will sell for 400 Microsoft points ($5). "

Also, I want to play Carcassone. I've been hearing nothing but good things about the game. If anyone has it, let me know how it is.
