^any game that lets me use the rumble on my extra controllers is worth the $10

very relaxing but also intense. if I ever do acid I'm playing this game.

best XBLA download in a while

1/30/2008 8:14:15 PM

I always play with the controller on my crotch.

Gamefly just opened a Tampa, FL distribution center...should be good for anybody in the Southeast

1/31/2008 10:15:20 AM

fucking gamefly took something like 12 days to get me cod 4 AFTER they said it had shipped

1/31/2008 10:17:10 AM

I've always had good luck with Gamefly...I think maybe one game ever got lost but when I let them know they sent me another one...I'd recommend Gamefly to anyone, but I know people who haven't had good experiences with them...the Tampa distribution center should help

1/31/2008 10:25:04 AM

All I know is that you'll definitely get your top choice right when you sign up

and then after a month or two you'll regularly get your third choice at best, and it'll take 2-3x as long to "receive" and "ship" games than it did in the beginning

And I got two games that were so scratched I couldn't play

Not worth it to me

1/31/2008 10:36:25 AM

i got madden 08 the day after it came out...all i did was put it on the top of my queue list the day before it came out...pretty simple if you stay on top of it

1/31/2008 10:44:57 AM

I had a queue list about 20 deep, and always put the games I actually wanted at the top

I believe I had BioShock up there for about 2-3 iterations of receiving and returning games

It was also up there before the game was released

Eh, doesn't matter, some people have better luck with it

1/31/2008 10:56:08 AM

Alright I need some advice:

Buy COD4 or Burnout Pradise today after work?

I love FPSes and I love the Burnout series... and I will get both eventually but what should I get first? I am leaning towards COD4...

1/31/2008 11:21:04 AM

cod4 pwnz

1/31/2008 11:23:02 AM

cant go wrong with cod4

1/31/2008 12:28:10 PM

yeah you know how all the reviews by critics and gamers of COD4 are all positive and say good things about the game?

they're all correct

1/31/2008 12:43:46 PM

cod4 it is then

1/31/2008 1:02:16 PM

anyone getting devil may cry 4?

2/4/2008 7:54:51 PM

I plan on getting it in like a week or so. I got DMC3 for my PS2 about two weeks ago and I am just finishing it up.

2/5/2008 11:40:15 AM

i've got way too many games i've got to beat before I purchase anything else

I'm basically not buying another game until smash bros for wii, and maybe Rock Band at some point, but other than that, I'm staying away from games

2/5/2008 1:29:41 PM

im probably gonna rock lost oddesey for a bit. i enjoy cod4, but im at the point where my interest starts to fail (think im at the 2 day mark, but not sure).

2/5/2008 2:26:14 PM

i havent played COD4 in a couple weeks...been tearin up that NBA 2K8...Bobcats are in the Eastern Conference Finals!

probably go back to COD4 for a little while soon though; you don't get to kill enough people in 2k8

2/5/2008 3:29:22 PM

Maybe if you played as the Warriors instead?

2/5/2008 6:38:59 PM

haha yeah i'll make a custom team with Jayson Williams, Stephen Jackson, ec

2/5/2008 6:40:20 PM

just beat my friend on nba 2k8, pistons versus heat (i was detroit)

i made an effort to make primoz brezec (who i started) an integral part of the offense

he finished as player of the game with 23 points (10/25), 9 boards (8d/1o), 6 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 to, 3-4FT, 0-1 3PT, 4 fouls

i only won 45-37 but i held him to 10 points or less each quarter...my fg% sucked though cause i kept shooting with brezec...i still havent gotten his timing down

btw the music on 2k8 is doper than 2k7, havent played 2k6 recently enough to remember

[Edited on February 6, 2008 at 12:14 AM. Reason : .]

2/6/2008 12:10:14 AM

that'll be the day when a pro game ends 45-37

2/6/2008 8:37:06 AM

faggot ps3 with their metal gear solid 4.

2/6/2008 11:47:31 AM

I realize this is the games topic, but how many of you play on xbox live through a service other than TWC road runner?

How is the performance? I'm about to move into a house, and if I can get a cheaper internet connection I would love to...

2/7/2008 10:54:46 AM

I tried the bobcats in a franchise but they're not that fun to play with

So I started a new one with the Lakers and they're 10-6 at the moment

I only play 29 game seasons tho at 5 minute quarters...82 games is way too long, and I tried longer quarters to get realistic stats but the games took too long

2/7/2008 11:08:27 AM

^^ I've been stuck with Pavlov at UVillage... it's meh... TWC RR, despite some of the faults... is a lot better.
Halo 3 became fun again when i went home for a week over Christmas... it's always good when your shots count

[Edited on February 7, 2008 at 11:24 AM. Reason : ]

2/7/2008 11:23:46 AM

^^i have a 25 game season with 7 minute quarters

but i have the sim length to 1 minute quarters so the bobcats compose the nba all first team

2/7/2008 2:20:15 PM

Don't feel like reading back through to see if this is old or not, but you can get a free 48 hour gold membership from this promotion http://www.keepingittwisted.com/xbox_register.aspx from Tropicana.

i just got the three red rings on my launch system.

ms has stepped up repairs even more. i get a free year of xbox live and a guaranteed return time of 2 to 3 weeks instead of the original 4-6 weeks.

What about something like Bellsouth DSL? Or Verizon DSL?

2/10/2008 5:47:47 PM

Bah, missed the edit by just a little bit

Final option, does anyone have Road Runner Lite? How does that fare on live?

2/10/2008 6:20:41 PM

a guy i work with has it and we banned him from partying up with us because it's so laggy.

rr lite blows.

2/10/2008 6:28:53 PM

They need to make Star Wars jedi power battles 2.

2/10/2008 6:29:13 PM

Dammit. I got mine back 2 weeks ago and only got one month live.

2/10/2008 7:13:04 PM

call me late, was stuck on the multiplayer for a while

but COD4 is the illest single player campaign i've played in a long long time


bout to tear up DMC4 now, see if I still gots it from the ps2 days

2/11/2008 9:19:44 AM

Im interested to see what yalls impressions of DMC4 and Lost Odyssey are.

Im looking for a new game to play, and dont know what to pick. I didnt pick up mass effect, not sure if its my style.

2/11/2008 10:16:05 AM

i've logged many many hours in mass effect

definitely my type of game

can't wait for the next oblivion as well

2/11/2008 10:41:19 AM

I'm gonna pick up DMC4 today, I'll probably be playing it all evening so I'll let you know. I LOVED the other DMC games, especially the third one.

2/11/2008 10:45:43 AM

ill be hopping on lost oddesey this week im sure.

2/11/2008 12:25:18 PM

^^^actually the next Elder Scrolls...Oblivion was just the name of this edition, like how Morrowind was the name of the last one



I'm anxiously waiting for mlb 2k8 as my next purchase...splitting time between nba, call of duty and fifa until then

2/11/2008 1:58:34 PM

yeah I know, I just said oblivion because that's what more people are used to hearing

2/11/2008 3:02:36 PM

Live 08's graphics look a lot better than 2k8

2/11/2008 3:07:33 PM

maybe

but I switched to the 2K series around 2003 and never looked back

2/11/2008 3:10:05 PM

yeah the fluidity of 2k basketball games has been better than live for a good few years

plus now that 2k has the 3point and dunk contest, what do you need live for?

i do miss the good old days of like maybe 2005 when 2k forced ea to be competitive and you could get Live for $40 and 2k for $20

2/11/2008 3:12:48 PM

Hell yeah that 2k with Ben Wallace on the cover was 20 bucks and the Live I think with Melo was 30

I picked up both and it was still less than one new game costs today

2/11/2008 3:23:53 PM

yeah melo was on the live cover i remember that

and i like the 2k dunk contest, how you can throw down two handed 360s while jumping over cars, but live's dunk contest was cool too cause you could throw an alley off the scoreboard, catch it and do a 720 dunk

2/11/2008 3:30:59 PM

I definitely miss the $20 2k days

2/11/2008 3:31:34 PM

is frontlines a series or some shit? i dont really recall much about it, but 32 player multiplayer on live + vehicles really makes me interested. loved me wild and crazy shit like that. 60 weapons too wtf?

2/11/2008 10:21:00 PM

^ didn't that MP demo come out today?
