hova has table tennis 5/31/2006 1:38:19 PM |
guitarguy All American 8118 Posts user info edit post |
cause $40 is the right price point...anyone play the tennis game besides the demo? top spin 2... 5/31/2006 2:15:57 PM |
TreeTwista10 minisoldr 148440 Posts user info edit post |
yeah i've got top spin 2...good game i'd recommend it 5/31/2006 3:28:04 PM |
cyrion All American 27139 Posts user info edit post |
top spin 1 was great so i imagine 2 is good.
im thrown between buying fight night 3 or table tennis. i kinda get bored of sports games quickly, but they do offer the best audience for multiplayer either locally or online. graw was a posibility too or maybe nba 2k6, but much more unlikely.
ive got: oblivion, perfect dark 0, and doa4. anyone have any suggestions for a new game?

i'll give you a quick summary/rating of the games i have if i can remember them all
Burnout Revenge: A fucking plus...awesome graphics, seamless, countless game modes, great online Top Spin 2: great tennis game and i'm not a big tennis fan, good replayability, party game modes Fight Night Round 3: maybe the best sports game graphics on 360...very fun, replay is good...i played for about a month straight when i got it Madden: rushed to market, but great graphics...definitely worth it if you love football NBA 2K6: unbelievable graphics...many of my nba-hater friends love this game...plus has an in depth one on one mode for a change Perfect Dark: havent played much but great graphics Condemned: havent played much but great graphics Call of Duty 2: A+ nothing bad about this game, will not disappoint if you like any type of WWII FPS Tiger Woods: great golf game, only drawback is only 6 courses but lots of 360 extras to make up for it Blazing Angels: really sweet pilot game ww2 era, about 50 planes, good effects and audio Quake: havent played much but great graphics Project Gotham Racing: phenomenal graphics, tons of cars, great online mode, top notch game MLB 2K6: a few glitches here and there that suck, but other than that an awesome game...im more into bball and football sports games but this game is great Tomb Raider: real nice...great graphics...gameplay similar to "old" tomb raider games...pleasantly surprising Tony Hawk: American Wasteland: another genre i'm not usually into but that was great for 360...no load time, plenty of replayability, pretty fun, live games have zero lag time
i have a couple more but i cant recall right now...also go into xbox live marketplace and download some demos to see if you like the games before you buy them
also one of the best downloadable games imo is Marble Blast Ultra (think Marble Madness meets HDTV)] 5/31/2006 5:33:53 PM |

yeah burnout is good, but i had it for xbox so no need.
my main two are fightnight and table tennis. just have to decide which i think would be more fun online and which has more overall options. 5/31/2006 7:36:11 PM |

As already implied by several posts in this thread, Table Tennis with its $40 price tag is easily the best bang for your buck. 6/4/2006 6:37:24 PM |

i really think 360 is going to be ahead of the ps3 for a long time. when i bought the 360 on launch day i never thought about all the stuff they could do it such as like adding on the hd-dvd drive or updating the bios or whatever. i gotta tell ya, its cool stuff. 6/5/2006 10:42:36 AM |

There are 2 updates for the Live software a year. This new one youre looking at hasn't been released but will soon. It will allow the queuing of downloads as well as more than one at a time, and if you jump in a game it will automatically pause and then resume when you're done so you won't lag. 6/5/2006 5:49:45 PM |

the update has been confirmed for tomarrow 6/5/2006 10:45:23 PM |
TreeTwista10 minisoldr 148440 Posts user info edit post |
first thoughts of the update? it was aight...the option to set your box to initially read from Disc or go right to Dashboard is cool...organized achievements a little different...new look and approach to the download menus...i had already downloaded plenty of things so i didnt even test out simultaneous queued downloads...but i did read that during a multiplayer online game, everyones downloads are paused til teh game is over...thats good...also they now have the options for the soon-to-be-released xbox360 camera...dunno...still cant use your custom soundtracks for different things in MLB 2K6...why cant I have Ghostface blare out of the Metrodome speakers when Torri Hunter comes up to bat? 6/7/2006 10:10:02 AM |

I picked up Need for Speed and Blazing Angels this week. I agree with everyone, Need for Speed is fucking great.
Blazing Angels is the WWII flying game. The flying isn't totally realistic, but the game has a great arcade feel to it. Its one of my favorites. 6/16/2006 8:59:48 PM |

Quote : | " Grand Theft Auto IV powered by Table Tennis engine?
Source: [UPDATE] A Total Video Games piece that referenced, but did not link to, this MTV interview...
The official story: Grand Theft Auto publisher Rockstar Games had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.
What we heard: When Electronic Arts bought Criterion Games in July 2004, it did more than add the Burnout extreme-racing franchise to its game garage. The Guildford, UK-based developer is also the creator of the RenderWare engine, which powers many games published by EA rivals--games such as Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Take-Two Interactive, owner of Rockstar, must have been less than thrilled when EA bought Criterion, as the purchase meant it would have to pay royalties to its archrival for each GTA game sold.
Given the royalty conundrum and the desire for cutting-edge graphics, many assumed that the next GTA would be based on an all-new engine. So when word began to spread that MTV was saying GTA IV would be based on RAGE, industry watchers nodded approvingly. After all, the technology--which stands for Rockstar Advanced Game Engine--was developed in-house at Rockstar, meaning no royalty payments to third parties would be necessary. Furthermore, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis shows that RAGE is capable of both impressive graphics and physics, two areas that drew fire from GTA detractors.
But as logical as the TVG story sounded, it could not be verified as of press time. Neither of the game sections on the US or UK MTV Web sites had any visible stories about GTA IV, and inquiries to Rockstar reps had gone unanswered as of press time.
[UPDATE] GameSpot News got in contact with MTV, and the article is still up--it's just slightly over a month old. Rockstar voluntarily admitted that the RAGE engine would be used in all upcoming Rockstar Games, including the next GTA.
Bogus or not bogus?: Given the positive feedback on Table Tennis and the huge potential savings, this smells legit. Posted by thorsen-ink, Jun 15, 2006 4:49 pm PT 206 Comments | Post a Comment Post a Comment " |
