Tiger is one game thats fun with a shitload of people...specially if the golf ball and what you're passing between turns are the same color.

I love TW PGA 08.. I am still going through the Tiger Challenge.. some are really tough / frustrating.. but nevertheless a good break from the other FPSes I've been playing (halo 3/ CoD4)

with all this xbox live downtime...does this mean a new update is coming out today/real soon?

11/13/2007 10:36:54 AM

Wasn't there some big fall update?

"Original Xbox games coming to Live Marketplace Downloadable back catalog tied to celebration that includes free Carcassonne download, new features set for December 4 firmware update. By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot Posted Nov 13, 2007 4:11 pm PT The Xbox 360 already plays a selection of original Xbox games with its backward-compatibility feature, but soon gamers won't even need a disc to boot games like Halo, Fable, Psychonauts, and Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. In conjunction with its ongoing celebration of the fifth anniversary of Xbox Live, Microsoft today announced that it will be selling those four games, among others, for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace early next month. Calling the program Xbox Originals, Microsoft will sell the games for 1,200 Microsoft points ($15) each, and the company is promising to expand the number of games offered over the coming year. A Microsoft representative had not responded to a request for comment on whether these games would have their original online features intact, or if Xbox Live support would be added into previously offline-only games, such as Halo. Xbox Originals will debut on December 4, and will be part of a firmware update that will also include new parental-control options. That isn't the only news Microsoft has to celebrate the anniversary of Xbox Live. The company has also announced that it will allow Xbox Live users worldwide to download a free game. For 48 hours beginning 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on November 15, members in Korea will be able to download Hexic 2 for free, whereas the rest of the world can grab the board game Carcassonne at no charge. Microsoft is also offering a token of appreciation to longtime Live users. The company will deposit 500 Microsoft points ($6.25) into the account of every Xbox Live member who joined the service in 2002, the year it first launched. Update: Microsoft Australia has confirmed that although the Xbox Originals service will launch in Australia at the same 1,200 Microsoft point cost on December 4, gamers down under will not receive the bonus 500 points being given away to active Xbox Live subscribers. A representative for the company explained this was due to the later launch date of the Xbox console in Australia, meaning the five year anniversary will not coincide with the North American promotion. The representative was unable to confirm whether the promotion would be offered when the fifth anniversary does occur in Australia in late April next year. UK Update: Microsoft Europe, however, confirmed that the offer is good for European Xbox Live users, who hold Gold membership and have been active since launch. "

^So, Carcassonne is free for two days starting tomorrow?

11/14/2007 4:06:20 PM

hey you've spend $250 to play online for 5 years

here's $7

11/14/2007 4:40:35 PM

all right TWW.....

I am itching to get a new game...

COD4
Assassin's Creed
timeshift
THE ORANGE BOX
or something else

already have halo3 and madden

^better than here's nothing

11/15/2007 1:50:24 AM

^ got orange box for PC, love it... haven't gotten to try it on 360 though...
i really really wanna check out COD4

id suggest one of those two

11/15/2007 1:52:50 AM

^^ Matters on the gameplay you want. Realistic FPS, definitely COD4.

Crazy off the wall FPS + a few solid games = Orange Box

RPG (didn't see this mentioned) = Mass Effect

Do NOT purchase Assassin's Creed. I haven't played it yet, but 99% of reviews are saying Rental only


And can you believe that EB is only offering $18 for Bioshock ALREADY? That's a fucking rip off

11/15/2007 7:50:21 AM

you should sell your games on ebay or CL...easily $40


i highly recommend COD4...i had orange box, its good but COD4 is way better IMO...i think the multiplayer is way better and more advanced and fun then TF...plus, its like the best looking game, one of them if youre on HDTV

11/15/2007 9:51:45 AM

i just my first playthrough of the orange box. i would highly recommend it.

11/15/2007 9:51:56 AM

noob question. When playing a game like halo 3 how can others look and tell that someone has a "slow" connection or what not. I will play a laggy game and we are done some will start reaming another guy saying he had a slow connection. Ive heard it on other mutiplayer games too. I dont wanna be "that guy." Is there a way I can check before the level starts?

11/15/2007 10:37:05 AM

if everyone one of your games seems laggy, you can about count on your connection being a problem.
in-game, there is a latency meter to the right of your name on the scoreboards.
glitching around due to lag is also very noticeable.

honestly, there's not much you can do about it except acknowledge it. if you have a generally fast connection like roadrunner, don't worry about it.

11/15/2007 10:40:34 AM

currently there is a problem with xbox live connectivity in general, infinity ward has this as the daily message in cod4. i think ms is prepping/testing the huge 12/4 firmware update.

11/15/2007 10:42:55 AM

thats what I needed to know. most of my games are fine. I didn't realize in game you could check the meter like that. thanks!!!!

Timeshift = NO
the campaign demo for that was horrible. I haven't tried the new multiplayer demo yet, but there's no way it compares to TF2 or COD4.

I dunno, the city exploration thing reminds me of Spiderman 2, and I still enjoy slinging my way across NYC. Penny Arcade said there were a ton of side quests that most reviewers are missing out on.

I wish I had Gamefly for stuff like this, I still need to play Bioshock but I heard it's a definite rental.

11/15/2007 1:51:51 PM

gamefly isn't worth it in my opinion

had it for one month

first game was great, speedy delivery, top choice, everything was great

second game took 2 weeks to get to me, and was unplayable it was so scratched. It took another week for them to receive my game and "log it in", and sent a replacement which was also scratched to the point of being unplayable.

I canceled right after that. I'd rather drive to the blockbuster 5 minutes down the road and pay a bit more per month than to deal with that crap

11/15/2007 3:49:09 PM

FYI i got the free carcassonne d/l... apparently it started at 12:01 am today and lasts for 48 hours... get it now if you want it. i'm not even sure i'll want it or play it, but hell, it's free and it's gotten decent reviews so i'm definitely gonna try it.

11/15/2007 7:02:13 PM

carcasonne is fun. def worth a free dl, but not worth purchasing unless you know others or are REALLY into that type of game. I wouldnt mind a tdub game sometime.

11/15/2007 7:13:42 PM

I really enjoy games like that

Very much a "board game" type game

11/16/2007 7:55:20 AM

I picked up Assassin's Creed today and played for a few hours. It's a ton of fun. The environment alone is mindblowing. I love taking leaps of faith off viewpoints into bigass piles of hay.

11/16/2007 3:13:48 PM

I'm starting to believe penny arcade's review saying that reviewers were trying to power through the game instead of enjoying the game

i'll probably get my copy in a few days, but i'm going into it expecting a 8/10 game, and that's a great value for a game

11/16/2007 4:14:15 PM

Haha, the greatest game ever is going to come out within a year....

Buy a 360 before Dec. 21 and Microsoft will send you a copy of Halo 3 free:

Fuck, I just bought new one a week ago.

Oh well, I'm probably getting deservedly owned on this one.

I think Spider-man 2 is the perfect example of a game that becomes extremely repetative but is still fun nonetheless.

11/16/2007 8:09:48 PM

alright guys, what game should i buy RIGHT NOW

i'll be getting Mass Effect in a couple days, but for now, should i get:

COD4 or Assassin's Creed

or neither and just put all my free time towards Mass Effect

11/17/2007 5:46:55 PM

If you like first person shooters, it's impossible to go wrong with CoD4.

11/17/2007 9:12:21 PM

that switchball demo is pretty cool, the physics are badass...i think i will end up buying it

i bought spades last night, that shit is always fun...if any of you guys play online hit me up

11/18/2007 11:58:14 AM

I have a question people

Can I hook my computer to the xbox360 with a cat5 cable - and use my computer's wireless internet connection to get on xbox live?

11/18/2007 12:48:10 PM

99% sure you need a wireless adapter for your xbox

but if you're alrdy connecting a cable from your PC to your Xbox, why not just get a router

unless you're ganking a wireless signal from somewheres

11/18/2007 3:01:20 PM

^^i know people used to do that with ps2s....you need to bridge your network connections, dunno if itd work for 360 though

11/18/2007 3:02:05 PM

it does work for 360. I did it this summer at my house. you just have to bridge the connections like ^ said

11/18/2007 3:09:52 PM

Is there a list of details as to what's supposed to be in the next firmware update? I thought I remember someone mentioning that it would remove the 3rd party peripheral support. I'd like to know if I could eventually expect to be able to use my X-Arcade stick with the 360 without having to go through the XFPS and PS2 adapter.

11/19/2007 11:53:37 AM

For all the achievement whores...1000 points in less than 2 minutes

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/11/18/avatar-2-minutes-b-button-1000-gamerscore/#comments


TreeTwista10, eat your fucking heart out

11/19/2007 12:35:11 PM

haha, i'm guessing i'm going to see "avatar" being played by most people at least once over the next week or so

11/19/2007 12:55:17 PM

You probably won't see them actually playing it, just the 1000 points after the fact

The whole process of inserting the game, getting the 1000 points, and ejecting the game all takes about 3 minutes.

It will have the quickest average turn around time in Gamefly history, by a wide margin.

11/19/2007 1:05:29 PM

I love that kids don't know about deez nuts. It's great when a kid on xbox live asks what my name is and I say "Deez" then they ask me "Deez what?"

11/22/2007 6:50:47 PM

is there anyway/anyplace where you can exchange an [old] 360 premium (pre-hdmi) and upgrade the console to an elite (or at least to a version that has HDMI)? i don't really care for the 120 gb models, the 20 gb has worked great for me.

i thought i read somewhere recently where you can trade in and for an additional cost you could do this, but i couldn't find it.

i'm looking into upgrading my tv as well, and researching options to maximize the experience.

side question: what is the video output on the old premiums?

[Edited on November 23, 2007 at 10:22 AM. Reason : [.]

component

11/23/2007 10:27:54 AM

component (r/g/b) or composite (y/r/w)

Just got it from amazon. It's really cool. I'd also recommend bioshock and orange box if you don't already have them.

11/23/2007 11:55:36 AM

i just got assassin's creed today....not sure how I feel about it just yet. Also picked up Gun cause it was 5 bucks at Best Buy.

11/23/2007 5:36:51 PM

^^^, ^^^^ sorry, vague question at the end, i meant what is the output resolution?

11/23/2007 6:42:37 PM

ok, mass effect just came in the mail for me, and I also got assassin's creed last week and have only played about 10 minutes

what should i play tonight?

11/25/2007 4:45:10 PM

forget AC. play mass effect all the way. AC is supposed to be awfully repetitive
