  • Games no one plays

    Post The games that are not as popular as some and that are just as great.Games no one plays
    I personally liked Stranglehold, dark sector, viking battle for asgard and viva pinata 2. No one really plays them at all haha. On wii I love excitebots but it only sold 13000 copies and it is one of the best arcade racers I have played this gen, that reminds me sega rally is great and no one plays it.Games no one plays
    Online wise, Shadowrun and both Saints Rows. Single player, hardly anyone played The Darkness and Lost Odyssey, easily two of the best games made this gen.
    I second The Darkness and Sega Rally Revo! Not only were they not very popular but nobody plays them online anymore. Pure is also a game not too many folks played. Sure it got good scores, but rarely is anyone online and I never hear anyone talk about it.
    Darkness was a great game i agree but it wasnt promoted well enough for people to care
    Lol The Darkness is a great game, but the online sucks hard.
    the Chronicles of Riddick.
    Skate II :(
    i know im in the minority but monster madness was actually fun to me. Im a sucker for any 4 player co-op shooters similiar to hunter the reckoning. i never care what the review ratings say
    i personally think Skate 2 has a nearmassive following, well either that or the people whohave itlove it so much, o wait that was topic wasnt it?I havent played it but Dead Space is one.
    Cool Keep'em comin
    Battlefield bad company.I know its not as popular (understatement) than CoD4 but, in my opinion is better.

    I still play it whenever I get a chance. and whenever I play it I shoot down trees. love it
    NOTE:I dont play Online in either game.

    Rumble roses xx
    I'm not gonna sit here and post all of them, but I do know a lot of Arcade games and could probably use more players. One game in particular I would like to find more challengers for is Super Puzzle Fighter 2 HD Remix, because I thinkthey did a great job with the game and I think I've only ever found anopponent to play once.I think challenging games like the Contras and Ikaruga, while they are games that really need players, turn gamers off a little bit because when they do play the games are just so tough that they end up quitting and don't bother coming back to the game again for a while.If anyone is into flight sims, there is one game I could recommend that they might not have thought to consider on LIVE - Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - under the XBOX Originals games. To start off with, you get free access to all the game's downloadable content, and I'm pretty sure the game supports LIVE. It's a pretty fun dogfighting game, and I don't really think there is anything like it on Arcade. For the price, compared to any 360 flight sims that there might be, it is probably a pretty good deal to get this game.

    I still play it whenever I get a chance. and whenever I play it I shoot down trees. love itNOTE:I dont play Online in either game.[/QUOTE]First, I agree with you that IT IS oodles better than any CoD game, IMO.Second, why did you put it into the ''Games no one plays'' thread... there are still like 30 to 50 thousand people playing at a time. Not as mush as CoD, yes, but at least there are no whiny six-year-olds who flock to fanboy-promoted-games. Because Im pretty sure 20 perent of teh people who play CoD, Halo, and even GoW are whiny 6-12 year olds. Fans of all those games, but really, 2o percent.The battlefield series has been a ''cult hit'' of gaming, thousands play them but they still dont get mainstreem media. Hopefully 1943 will get more media, but I just hope it does not attract the whiners...

    I havent played it but Dead Space is one.[/QUOTE]Dead Space is a pretty popular game, it got high review scores and was called a sleeper hit last fall.

    The Darkness, one of my favorite shooters this gen, and Lost Odyssey, which I think is stunning so far.
    Ghostbusters.

    Depends on the price and games available at the time. I mean Microsoft said that the xbox 360 will have a lifespan of 10 years(2015). The 360 will still be supported when the new xbox arrives, this if the new xbox arrives during that time, somewhere between 2012 and 2015. too soon to say anything at all
    It all depends on when the good games will be coming out on xbox 360. Typically, most games at launch for any console are usually poor. I would like to wait until I see something I really like for the system like a new Elder Scrolls game or a new Fable game for example.
    I don't really know that I want to spend money on games like this forever. I will always play games butI don't think I will ever put this much money into gaming again.

    2 or 3 years? ill be getting it in the first week!
    Probably wait a year or two to see the failure rate. :(
    I'll be in line on day 1.
    I lovr my 360 so probobly like 1 year.
    Hopefully we won't be seeing another Xbox for another few years, but when we do, this is the way I'll handle it: if it comes out in the first half of the year, buy it, if it comes out the second, ask for it for Christmas of birthday.
    Until they stop making original 360 games. Or after I get bored with PC gaming... Which is never, so I will probably not buy it for a while because I'm sure there will be bad backwards compatibility again.
    I hope I can buy it on day one. As soon as they make the announcement, I'll start saving so that I can preorder one.
    Not long, but hopefully it doesnt come out for a while
    If it FINALLY has blu ray ill buy that in a heartbeat haha no but i wuld have 2 play most of the games i never had a chance to on the 360
    well its obvious the next xbox is going to be portable
    I don't think I'll ever purchase another game console made by Microsoft.
    FFFOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRREEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
    Considering how many problems I've had with my 360, I'll probably consider picking up the competition instead.
    If Sony makes it to another round I'll be going that way. I'd rather deal with a company that has quality products. Microsoft is a good company but everything they make has issues.

    My brother told me this and I haven't seen or heard of it anywhere... I have put WAY too many hours in to ALL of the Call Of Duty games... got the first one when it came out and I put many, many, many, many, MANY hours in to it XD. I love it! I hear that if you pre-order the limited edition Modern Warfare 2 you get a code to download the game for free?...The original Call Of Duty (PC) on Xbox L ...
    you heard right. getting mine from my Modern Warfare 2 hardened edition :DThe original Call Of Duty (PC) on Xbox L ...
    Nice! :D how much the hardened edition? (is it just Limited Edition with a fancy name?)... and will there also be Single Player as well as Multiplayer? I was thinking of playing my PC Call Of Duty games sometime soon again as it's been a while... might just wait until end of the year then :D.
    Hardened edition is 80 bucks, but the game will be released on XBLA and PSN on a later date for propbably 10 bucks. Its sort of like what they did for Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Boltes where if you preordered the game you'd get Banjo and Kazooie for XBLA early.
    So is there a normal Limited Edition AND this Hardened Edition coming out? if so, what is the difference between the two? :). I think I definately want to get the Hardened Edition now... only problem is, I might get addicted to the original Call Of Duty once again and hardly play Modern Warfare 2... :P. Do you guys know if they are updating it at all? (health packs, online ranking system etc.)?
    [QUOTE=''orb_03_2006'']you heard right. getting mine from my Modern Warfare 2 hardened edition :D[/QUOTE] Exact same for me, I put over 200 hours in it on PC I can't wait to play it on XBLA

    Heh... I miss those early days of playing Call Of Duty and CoD: United Offensive on my PC online every day all the time... *sigh* XD. I put 100+ hours in to Call Of Duty games on the PC as well, but that was only when I was signed in to X-Fire (wow... haven't used that for years lol). I got X-Fire way after I got the games... so I put too many hours in to them XD. Probably more than GTAIII, VC and San Andreas...

Hardended Edition is your normal Limited Edition stuff just with fancy name. With Prestige Edition, which is $150, you get all this crap including IW Night Vision Goggles.I have no idea about the updating the orig CoD. They prolly will keep it the same. They may put in the regenative health (I dont want them too, destroys the feel of the good old days).
    I thought it was a part of the Hardened and Prestige edition. Not a pre-order.
    thats what I thought
    PLUS!!!!!!!!!

    the guy at Gamestop told me that pre-ordering it gets you a limited edition gold lvl 60 weapon. that's what he told me the other day. didn't even know about it 'till he told me lol

    Left 4 Dead:2 Special Zombies?

    As we all know, Left 4 Dead had : Smoker, Boomer, Hunter, The Witch and Tank. Have anyone heard of what we will be facing on our 2nd go around? If they havn't yet discussed this portion of the game, I would like to hear some creative new ideas from you guys.I'll start: The Hammer: Fast paced zombie with an enormous fist that is known for smashing faces apart. The Morph: Ability to change into any zombies (even the Left 4 Dead originals). Evil Gecko: having the ability to camaflauge and do stealthy kills.

    The Hammer sounds like the Charger.
    so does this game have everything the first one has AND more? is it guaranteed to be better than the first?
    no problem if hunter and smoker stays..
    One called the Charger was shown. Also, you ideas sound bad.
    there was one big zombie who was kinda fat and had one HUGE arm and the other was tiny, maybe he's a special infected
    I liked all the special infected in L4D.The new SE the charger sounds cool the higher level stage specific regular zombies sound great.The new way the witch just doesn't sit down and cry she wonders around the levels now, which sounds awsome.I really want to know what the other 3 SE are thats for dang sure.I am going off topic ,but it's good to see A topic thats not full of babies BOO HOOing about L4D2 coming out as A new game and not as DLC.I am tired of seeing ''I am BOYCOTTING L4D2'' Threads some people have to really learn to chill the heck out LOL !
    yeah, there is a new one called the charger (like others have said)...it's like a bull, and it rushes toward people so that they can't huddle up in a room all the time...anyway, I have an idea for a new special infected: The Hallucinator. It sprays a toxic gas at survivors and it causes them to see infected everywhere(including special infected), even their partners will appear as the infected.I think it would be pretty funny to see survivors shooting at each other.

    The End= Nemesis from RE3. I'd like to see something resembling The Thing from movie of the same name. Every saferoom they have to check blood samples to make sure none of them was replaced.
    I think that the one that shoots smoke was a great idea

    An idea that i had for one zombie was kinda like a grudge looking guy, i dont know what to call him but he would grab a survivor and pull him through a wall and i dont know if u guys seen pulse but when one of the people get sucked into the wall it would be funny to make it look like that. you would only be able to hold a survivor for like 6 seconds and have a reasonable cool down so they dont keep pulling you to the beginning, his other move would be like a fatigue move that makes you slow and vision blurry and weak when it comes to hitting zombies off of you :P so you would have to shoot ur way out.

    Evil Gecko sounds pretty brilliant :D
    They had a special zombie made for L4D1 called the screamer, a zombie in a straight jacket who you must shoot before it scream or it unleashes the horde. They canceled him though, maybe he will be in L4D2
    [QUOTE=''imlolmon'']so does this game have everything the first one has AND more? is it guaranteed to be better than the first?[/QUOTE]



    Nothing is guaranteed. However, it looks to be a lot more fun then the 1st. Which is hard to top because the 1st one is amazing.

    Ya the boomer pretty much makes him obsolete.
    MANBEARPIG!!!!
    The only one we actually know of is the Charger like people have said. The camo one that you suggested sounds plausable. I think they may incorporate a smaller zombie maybe child or animal sized that would poison you. Instead of doing major damage quickly, it would slowly but surely kill you. If not that, then maybe the poison would slow you down, making it harder to keep up with the group. It would be like Anti-Pills. If I worked for Valve I would defenetly put this in, I would call it the Stinger.

    What about the underwater mission in COD ...

    That mission sounds really cool. Are you guys excited for that mission? I am.What about the underwater mission in COD ...
    Yes i am too.What about the underwater mission in COD ...
    i reckon itll only start underwater like the mountain climbing one and ull eventually end up fighting on land.
    As long as its more fun than the missions in CoD4...where i stopped bothering at the 3rd mission.
    I cant wait for the full game, ive loved all of the COD games so far.

    The underwater mission sound Awesome though.

    I'm starting Oblivion up again, my second character, and I was quite interested in seeing if I could get the Honorblade of Chorrol early on, say... Level one? Haha. I know it's part of a three part string of quests, and the first one, reuniting the brothers, shouldn't be any trouble, but the following ones involve slaying Redguard Valley Ogres. Any tips on defeating these d00dz so as to receive the sword, which isn't levelled, I believe, and could do me quite well throughout my beginning levels, per chance?TES 4: Oblivion :: Honorblade of Chorrol
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!TES 4: Oblivion :: Honorblade of Chorrol
    have fun getting your ass kicked by ogres. that sword is crappy anyway. just go for umbra's gear.
    Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, but perhaps Ogres would be easier then fighting a level 50 NPC WITH afore-mentioned sword. Not to mention a full set of Ebony armor and insane stats. I've played the game before, and wanted to try a different approach. It's not that bad either, and shouldn't make my game too easy unlike if I got Umbra, which is one of the best swords in the game. Anyone else have helpful hints?

    No. I had spent a lot of money upgrading my car but once it got destroyed, it was gone forever.

    What's your favourite exclusive game for ...

    Vote now!What's your favourite exclusive game for ...
    Well I should've asked first, your referring to console exclusives right? If so Mass Effect but I accounted ME for bing on PC as well so I voted Halo 3.What's your favourite exclusive game for ...
    Mass Effect, then Gears, then Forza Motorsport. :)
    probably mass effect. gears 2 is a close second though.
    Fable 2. Absolutely dissapointing DLC aside, it's a solid game worth playing.
    I've put many more hours into Halo 3 than anything else, so that.
    definetly Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts.
    Forza 2
    Gears of War by far.
    Forza 2. It would be Mass Effect if it was a 360 exclusive.
    [QUOTE=''seankane'']Forza 2[/QUOTE]Another Forza fan!
    Tie between Mass Effect and Gears. Haven't played Fable 2 yet..
    all are just sooo great! :D
    Gears of War at the time it was released -- really defined this generation of gaming for me. Mass Effect was great, didn't completely blow me away, though if you asked me now which is the better game, ME is probably above Gears.
    Halo3
    Bioshock until they ported it to the ps3 but its still the best 360 game to me
    Gears of War 1 and 2 followed by Forza, i personally think halo sucks.
    Gears 2
    Forza 2 probaly and soon to be Forza 3.

  • Whats so good about Mass Effect

    Everyone i talked to keeps saying how great mass effect is. Well i played the demo and thought it was so so. I mean what makes so great? At one time i was thinking about buying it but not to sure on it. Can anyone give some good reasons why its worth buy? ThanksWhats so good about Mass Effect
    great story! Fleshed out world. its great to be able to explore planets, have squad control, upgrade weapons, play fast paced shooting style, and upgrade your weapons and characters in tons of different ways.This is a game that is greater than the sum of its parts. its 15 buck used. go to gamestop you can keep a used game for two weeks. If you don't like it you can return it and get another game with the 15 bucks or pre-order something else.Whats so good about Mass Effect
    It has very immersive gameplay for one thing. It has one of the best between-character dialogue systems ever created in a video game. It also has a really awesome story line, cool powers, and a lot of different environments to explore. I liked Mass Effect because it made me actually care about the characters I was playing with. You will sometimes be forced to choose which one of your team members lives, and which one dies.
    takes about an hour to get into the good stuff, but its worth it.
    OK thanks, well if i liked fallout 3 would i like this game since its a action rpg?
    It is an amazing RPG. The characters develop over time, you get to go on the hunt and learn about all the species and how they interact. You get to save the galaxy, that sort of stuff. You aren't going to get that in a demo.



    Now, the demo did show you probably, how much you might like the combat... and if you can't stand it, that might be a reason NOT to play it. But if you have any WRPG love in you, I think you should at least get it and play though on Easy or Normal mode just for the RPG elements. Make sure to turn off the subtitles to add to the experience.
    liking fallout 3 doesnt mean you'll like this, quite different, but i recommend trying it, it is a great game even if it takes about an hour to kick off properly
    I just started playing it and I was really enjoying it until I got into the driving part. For me that ruined the game.
    For the price which you could pick up Mass Effect for at the moment as it is in the Classics line I believe (I could be wrong) you are definately getting value for money out of it. Several of the plus points are:Fleshed out Universe for you to explorePlenty of SidequestsCharacters which have real depth and emotion, no wooden boards on this shipIt will also fill you in for Mass Effect 2, if you like any kind of rpg, or futuristic / sci - fi setting then definately check this game out. It'l be worth your time.
    Mass Effect was Excellent,shame i got rid of it a while back.
    My friend got bored of it after about and hour of playing and gave his limited edition copy to me :DI enjoyed it but you have to spend a while getting into the game
    It has a good story and some very good characters. The world seens to borrow some from shows like Babylon 5 but it is really good for a first game using it. It's probably Biowares worst game, ignoring anything done on handhelds but it is still really good. It's nothing amazing but the sequel will likely improve much of what was wrong with the first (driving, party member dialoge during missions, party interaction, make combat more fun and difficult, halfway decent inventory, fix bugs, better sidequest, varied worlds not part of the main story). If you plan to play the second playing through the first is also a good idea to get the backstory and to import your saved game for the second.
    Its a great game.But its hard to play it more then one time, because then you really start to see the horrible framerates and texture popins.Cant believe they actually released the game in that state.
    Takes a while to get into, but once your in... your hooked. I've completed it three times now.
    A better question would be ''What's not to like about Mass Effect?'' Seriously, you should go buy this game.
    • Incredibly immersive story
    • Detailed and fleshed out characters
    • Moral choices that will progressively get harder to make
    • Excellent combat(at least in my opinion)
    • Long storyline
    • Hours upon hours of side quests
    • Squad combat/tactics
    • Numerous ways to go through the story
    • Upgrade your weapons and armor along with the weapons and armor of your squad
    • Numerous worlds to explore
    • DLC
    • And lastly, it's made by BioWare. Honestly, it being made by BioWare is all you should need to know about a game before you buy it.
    And liking Fallout 3, won't necessarily mean that you'll like Mass Effect. They're pretty different games.
    these are all questions that can be answered by reading and watching reviews
    its great because it has a good story and you can make your own decisions and very in depth character customization
    Everything. Although it takes a little while to get into it, the world is just so big and the characters are so interesting.

    People make threads like these everyday, and now and then if the topic asks for a detailed enough type of game we let it slide, but the thing is there is a game recommendation thread in this forum, so you should try checking that out, or else search through the forum's old topics to find out what games are pretty good. I mean you could even just go to wikipedia and search through the list of 360 games and read up on them, see what might be interesting to you.

    Your favourite part about GTA IV?

    For me it was the physics. The way everything moved and the way your body would fly through the air when hit by a car, or how someone would become limp and fall down when hit in the back of the head with a bat. Loved it.One time i carjacked a taxi. I pulled the cab driver out and through him in the middle of the road but he didnt fall, suddenly a car came out of no where and ran him over causing him to do several flips before smashing into a lamp post. The way he flew through the air made me lolYour favourite part about GTA IV?
    The characters, the crazy situations you can get yourself in, causing huge accidents, character interaction is unrivalled imo...



    I also enjoyed the missions though, choosing whether or not to kill this guy, robbing the bank, such an amazing game. Even beating the sense out of someone with my pistol is a good time Your favourite part about GTA IV?
    The graphics and physics
    The city.

    I personally thought the story, it had the best story of all the GTAs. Shame they didnt include all the business missions etc from Vice City then it would have been perfect.
    Everything.. Literally. There is not one aspect of the game i dont like. The bit that topped it all of for me though was the fact you could go online with up to 16 people and do anything you wanted. Exactly the same as story mode but without the missions. I honestly reckon if SR2 had a free mode with more than just 2 people then that game would be massive. Although it has its cheesy graphics and unrealistic driving it would still be a massive hit with all the' pimping' up rides and the fact you CAN get planes.

    Ive been told by many to play it as it although is abit dated it is still a great game to play.Knights of the Old Republic.....still go ...
    TFU was an ok game but it comes no where near the quality of KOTOR, you should definitely check it out providing you like RPG's.
    Yes. The graphics look a bit dated but everything else is still excellent and it can be picked up for very little these days
    Aye, KOTOR 1 and 2 are still some of my favourite games of all time. You sometimes get a few graphical glitches however, which does detract somewhat from what was an amazing single player experience. Still, definatly worth playing and it'll be dirt cheap now.
    A great game stands the test of time. While the graphics might look a bit dated now it is still a very good game.
    one of the best RPGs of all time... but it runs terribly on the 360 :(



    I'm tempted to buy an old xbox just so I can play it again.
    KOTOR has withstood the test of time,it still remains one of the greatest RPG games in history.
    Its an amazing game, you'll still like it even though there are lowed down graphics. Oh, and don't go to II unless you liked the first one a lot. Personally I hated II.
    its worth checking out. kotor 1 has best story and 2 has better overall gameplay. bewarned running on xbox360 is bad for kotor 2 anyways
    KOTOR is one of my favorite games of all time.
    The story very well written. The story alone is a good enough reason to buy the game!
    KOTOR rules. I just played through both of them again this passed winter. They both run pretty poorly on the 360 so I would recommend trying to get them for PC. If not they are playable on the 360 you'll just have to deal with some minor glitches.

    The KOTOR games are great if you take the time to learn how the combat system works. The combat is less like TFU and kinda like the turn based system found in more traditional RPG's. Some people don't want to learn how to use it so they just say KOTOR is crap and refuse to play it. It's a shame because it's actually really simple.



    The graphics and combat system is a bit dated but it's still an awesome game. Well worth checking out.
    yes, i actually enjoyed kotor much, much more than mass effect. Better story, more depth, much better sidequests, better use of the light/dark side etc.
    You might want to consider Jade Empire as well...
    KOTOR is my favorite Star Wars game. The single player is amazing, and every play through you will find something new.
    its a really good game...but in my opinion kotor 2 plays better on PC then xbox 360
    KOTOR 1 and 2 are great but they run horribly on the 360.
    If you do play it you won't be disappointed. KOTOR is one of my all time favorites.

    Why did The UFC Patch eliminate the opti ...

    first and formost i hate CAPs, i can't stand them because they give lesser gamers advantage that the normally wouldn't have with what the game gave them. I don't like to play CAPs (create a players) because no matter what anyone says their ''imaginary friends'' will always have unbelieable stats in some way shape or form. This leads to a mistake that shouldn't have been in the game after the patch, why in custom match settings u can no longer choose to have any weight class, rounds with UFC ONLY fighters. I don't wanna be force to fight those freaks and wannabes, I want dream match ups with the real fighters instead of fighting imaginary friends with max chin and ultimate reversals. It takes the fun right out the game, and if someone said u should jus make a CAP right back I don't want because like i clearly stated about my feelings of CAPs, i can't respect them nor do i think they should be involved in online unless they are in their own lobby or branch. they shouldnt be mixed in with the REAL fightersWhy did The UFC Patch eliminate the opti ...
    As far as i know you can still set it to UFC only and any weight class. Also not everyone that uses CAF (not CAP) have over powered people. I use a CAF most of the time but is stats are about the same as most of the real fighters, anyone can win with any fighter if the person controling him is good enough.Why did The UFC Patch eliminate the opti ...
    did the patch help alleviate lag in matches?that was the main reason why i never played ranked online, and the fact that i am rubbish at the game is another, but i would get on if they fixed the lag issues
    Don't forget the little problem when someone disconnects and it doesnt count as a win. If they fixed that i will go play again.

    As time premitts i got it for the ps3 but when i start school im getting it for the xbox. maybe the ps3 got shafted again, if u can go to custom and put any in weight class and put UFC only on the fighting preference from the jump then this justifies why im going to get rid of it for the PS3

    best zombie game ever

    what in ur guys opinion is the best zombie game out there??



    i havent been playing video games for too long so my top zombie game is left 4 deadbest zombie game ever
    I always liked Dead Risingbest zombie game ever
    Yeah, Dead Rising.
    Dead Rising, Resident Evil 4-5Probably my current favorites.Left 4 Dead is also great but I dislike the online versus mode. Co-op campaigns are great, though.
    [QUOTE=''jarhead1990'']Dead Rising, Resident Evil 4-5Probably my current favorites.Left 4 Dead is also great but I dislike the online versus mode. Co-op campaigns are great, though.[/QUOTE]



    how do u not like online versus??? that was the best part getting to be the zombie
    Dead Rising, and Left 4 Dead... I agree about the Left 4 Dead online versus... I just can't seem to get the hang of it. Any tips would be awesome if you wanna PM me.
    Resident Evil 5 - Beat it once never would want to play it agian.Left 4 Dead - I was anticipating this but it gotboring real fast.Dead Rising - I couldnt stand it.
    Resi 4 is great, but a bit slowL4D is great on PC, but only time I've played it was at a LAN event, that was fudging EPICOtherwise... Probably L4D, yeah
    I really liked RE5. I think they should have made more characters for the Story Mode tho... It wouldn't go with the cutscenes and stuff but still your choices of the stegasaurus man or the black chick aren't too awesome lolOh and Left 4 Dead is good too. I kinda can't wait for L4D2
    dead rising you dont need xbox live to fully enjoy this game
    Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead.
    Killing Floor, followed closely by Left 4 Dead.
    I know most people will slaughter me for this but i have to say that Call of Duty: World at War is the best ''zombie game'' ever. The Nazi Zombie mode is amazing, especially with a new zombie map coming out every month, adding more and more features as they get released.
    Resident Evil 5 - Resident Evil 4 all over again, just now it doesn't have the awesome Wii controls and you get an annoying partner the entire game which ruins the whole idea of being by yourself/having a helpless person with you.Dead Rising - Major control issues (check my profile for my review of the game) great concept but terrible execution overallLeft 4 Dead - Does what it is supposed to, awesome co-op and online play, good single player, run and gun type play and never offers the saem experience twice. Best in my opinion so farDead Island - When it comes out will be freaking amazing

    Favorite armor in Fallout 3

    What is your favorite set of armor/clothing or your favorite combination in Fallout 3? these can be anything from fallout 3 (like the stuff from the dlc's) and if you want you can even say what weapon you like best too (that goes with the outfit) or is just your favorite :)Favorite armor in Fallout 3
    The Winterized Power Armor. Nearly infinite armor FTW.Favorite armor in Fallout 3
    For my stealthy character, I usually went with the dirty pre-war business wear, with a silenced pistol. It was badass, and U%26#1048;s%26#1090;%26#1092;P%26#1076;BlE.
    Winterized Power Armor, and I like the..Whasteland explorer. Because it's like a hoodie, and cargo pants. Its awesome.
    Winterized Power Armor FTW.The Samurai outfit is pretty radsauce as well.
    tribal power armor, its beat up and has a cow skull for a shoulder
    Any type of Power Armor.
    Leather Armor

    My character looks exactly like Mad Max. It was unintentional when I made him, but now I like it. :lol:
    Winterized T51-B. You never need to repair it so it's all good. Combine that with my simulation version of the Gauss Rifle that never needs repaired and it's epic win time.
    The tesla armour, I love sneaking around with a stealth boy on, yet having glowing lights on my back.
    Ranger Armour, Lucky Shades, 5'Oclock Shadow and the Messiest hair in the game. Toss Ol Painless over my shoulder, and it's time for that piece of dogmeat and I to go hunt down women and popcorn. That dog sure loves his popcorn.

    i only have the orig, no DLC

    but from what ive seen, either the recon armor or the rileys rangers armor
    The vault 101 dress with armor.
    My favorites are both Enclave. The Hellfire or Tesla armor. They both look good.And the outcast power armor too.Red and Black.
    I never played any dlc so I'll say the enclave power armor. Oh, and no armor if your character is a girl >___>
    the power armor you get from completing OA
    Winterized T-51B Armour. It weighs less than than the other T-45D armor.
    yup...i love that armor:Dive had it on since i got it...its freakin awesome[QUOTE=''Legendaryscmt'']The Winterized Power Armor. Nearly infinite armor FTW.[/QUOTE]
    Chinese Stealth Armor, love the fact that when you crouch you turn transparent. I liked the Hellfire armor as well.

    Copy and paste the link into the address bar. For some reason you can't click it.
    Meh. All that is really helping to explain is that panicking doesn't help. And thats right.But it doesn't help in that people who cant aim quick, wont aim quick, and they'll lose almost everytime in a 1-on-1 battle.Thats what its all about. And having good instincts when roaming the map. Part of that is experience, part of that is common sense.There is no 'reading' that will help somebody get better at Call of Duty. I'm sure of it. Its all about maintaining quick accuracy and using some common sense.
    That's what I was trying to help explain, but it's hard, and I guess it's more about what you can do to start with, and with natural experience. But tips do definitely help.

    Halo Reach graphics?

    They have stated it will use a new engine instead of the outdated Halo 3 engine.Will they be pushing the system, and will MS help in anyway? Also, I remember MS saying they will announce a game at E3 that will outdo KZ2 (graphics wise), none really did but they looked great. Will Halo Reach be that game?Halo Reach graphics?
    I think MS's hype was for Alan Wake, which actually looked quite good if not Killzone 2-level amazing. As for Halo: Reach, no one can tell until we see screenshots or, even better, video.Halo Reach graphics?
    Yeah, Halo Reach should do it and look stunning, go to this link as well.
    [QUOTE=''mitu123'']Yeah, Halo Reach should do it and look stunning, go to this link as well.[/QUOTE]

    If true awesome, but the reply could have been about something else and that could all be a BS blog. Still, I expect it to look great.
    I dont think MS was talking about Reach for that matter but like @masterpinky2000 said, Alan Wake, which looks amazing.Sidenote here: Mass Effect2, as expected is looking equally amazing.

    Anyway, they have been working on Reach for 2 years now(more than ODST) with this new graphics engine, all we can do is wait for next year for images or videos. Bungie may update the extras section on ODST though...In the end gameplay>graphics but hey with Halo(depending on your taste) the awesome gameplay is there, now if you can have both at a similar level, the better. Cant say i dont like halo3 graphics though, again, theyre nothing out of this world but it sure impressed me in a lot of ways.

    Thank you !
    Awesome good to know! Thanks :)
    Awesome, but 560 seems like a weird number to price it at and damn you PC gamers you guys are lucky getting everything free.
    560 is $7. Mad that M$ wants money for a single-campaign. Hopefully Valve can implement it into L4D2.
    I'll wait till it becomes free.
    holy S***! i just j***ed in my pants! dude i play the crap out of that game
    That will add some extra fun to the game before 2 comes out.
    Glad I bought L4D for my pc. M+K 4 da Win!
    Yes! Been waiting for some DLC for this game for a while.
    i really wish they're comin out wit a little more than just 1 campaign but still awesome!!! sounds kool can't wait
    Word!
    It is only 560 MS because Microsoft made Valve charge for it. It won't be the only campaign by the way. They will keep supporting the games long after Left 4 Dead 2.
    well unless that campaign is compatible with L4D2 i wont be getting it. cuz L4D2 comes out a month later.
    Thanks for the news, I didn't know when it was getting released. I still have to decide on whether to get it or not.
    I own it on PC, and (imo) it's a garbage game.
    this is pretty cool.

    Does GTA IV run better uninstalled?

    I've heard this a lot and I was wonderng how you guys find it. I've also heard that it seems to put a bigger strain on your harddrive because I've heard that the game is done similar to Halo 3 in that it's optimized to load off the disc.I haven't tried it but it'd be nice to get an answer, I think I might just keep playing it uninstalled since it played perfectly before but I want to make sure.Does GTA IV run better uninstalled?
    I've had it installed on my HDD for about 2 months now with no problems and I usually play it daily.Does GTA IV run better uninstalled?
    My friend told me he tend to get a bit more lag in online, do you notice it or is that just bad hosts
    I never get lag, it has to just be bad hosts.
    I noticed that if you have it installed, there is a lot more graphical pop in.



    The load times are much better and I think the frame rate held up better too.
    Halo 3 problems were because of the way it saved video and stuff to the HDD. GTA IV doesn't do any of that, it just loads off the disc. Loading off HDD is faster than any part of the disc. The pop in is more noticeable because it doesn't ''fade'' in, it ''pops'' in.Also, the game is constantly streaming off the disc, you're better off installing because it strains the DVD drive less.
    Its better installed for me.
    Alright, I guess I'll give it a shot installed then

    Good Deals on Ninja Blade & Riddick

    I saw both of these games, Ninja Blade %26 The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for $10.00 at a Target in NY yesterday. The prices were pretty surprising to me because both games are pretty new, but I am guessing it has something to do with a combination of sales, stock and the economy. So check your local Target and see what you can find, hope i help someone out.Good Deals on Ninja Blade %26amp; Riddick
    I doubt either one of those games are hot-sellers.Good Deals on Ninja Blade %26amp; Riddick
    Well, I have met at least two people on here each liked one of those games, and to find a game as new and as advertised as the two of them (Saw a lot of promotional stuff in gaming magazines) at this low of a price, it's a pretty good deal I think.
    Dark Athena is a great game. I paid full price for it on release day. It's well worth picking up at that sale price.
    Dark Athena is one of my favorite games I own for the 360.

    It's a shame that it didn't sell well...

    I wasn't talking about the quality of the games, not every good game sells well.
    I'd be in for Riddick at that price. Last time I checked my Target they only had the PC riddick for 30 and Ninja blade was 30 as well in the clearance section. I would pay no more than 5 for ninja blade, but 10 for riddick sounds good. Picked up FEAR 2 there a few weeks ago on clearance for 12. Great deal IMO
    those games didn't sell too well, so it's not surprising. but at that rate, I'll eventually check them out :D

    Yeah, regardless of karma, since it is involved in the main quest you can get the gunny to train you.

    What do you guys think ?i think personally BF:BC because i liked the multiplayer way better than red factions very linear and boring mulitplayer to me I dont really like games where you can just pick up the best weapon and you can do good i like games like battlefield where you choose your weapon and also the gold rush game mode i thought was very good and new so yea.PS>sry for all the and'sBattlefield Bad Company or Red Faction G ...
    Meh. I loved both of them, but I honestly had more fun with RF:G... I still play it to this day, something I can't say about BF:BC.Battlefield Bad Company or Red Faction G ...
    I played Bad Company when it came out and I thought it was really overrated, lame story, annoying characters, sketchy multiplayer. the physics system in Red Faction is so much better and more fun to use than BC's as well. I choose Red Faction
    I would get RFG. While BFBC is awesome, BF 1943 is out, and Bad Company 2 will be out in awhile anyway.....

    Looking to go HD on the 360! Need Help.. ...

    Alright so I'm looking to go HD on the 360, and I found a great deal on a monitor, so I think I'm going to make the move, but I need some help and advice.The Situation: I live at college during the school year and home when vacation comes around. I have an HDTV in my room (bought by my mother for my brother) but it has bad input lag, so I ended up switching it out with a SDTV, at least while I'm at home. I want to game in HD, but the input lag was killing me. So I'm wondering if it's a good idea in this situation to go with a monitor. I have no other need for it other than gaming, seeing as I have a laptop. I may want to watch TV on it, don't have HD now or at school. May in the future, so I'm wondering what my options were in that aspect.The Monitor: It's a 23 inch Samsung, no speakers, 5ms response time. I'm going to hook it up with VGA cables, so I'm wondering if I do that, will i experience any input lag? The input lag is crucial to gaming in my opinion, so this is a big concern for me. I have speakers, they're decent, I'm not looking to be blown away by the sound. I may invest in headphones later anyways, so this isn't a concern at all.The Accessories: Should I trust eBay on this one? I'm seeing a bunch of VGA cables for 10 bucks or less. You guys think that is reliable at all? Should I be looking for Microsoft ones or will third-party VGA cables work the same? I don't care for a warranty, I just want them to work well (HD picture and all). Also, I think I need a tv tuner, is this expensive, and is it hard to use/install? Is the picture any good? What about if I get HD channels (in the future, don't have them now or at school).So you see the situation, monitor, and the accessories. So please feel free to give me advice, tell me if it's a good decision. Or should I hold out and get an HDTV? I'm hearing there may be an HDTV war on the horizon, with prices dropping drastically. Any advice would be helpful.P.S. Feel free to ask me any question to help you help me or suggest anything to me that I should consider in this whole process. Thanks in advance everyone!Looking to go HD on the 360! Need Help.. ...
    Smaller screens and monitor screens usually have significantly less input lag, so if you're really concerned about that, I would say you should go for the monitor. But if you are patient enough, you may find a better option further down the road.Looking to go HD on the 360! Need Help.. ...
    The Monitor is a perfect choice. I have a 19'' and I LOVE IT! You won't experience and input lag at all so don't worry. Just be sure to a good speaker system!As for the VGA Cable, make sure they are Microsoft Manufactured. Some sellers put OEM which basically means it is officially microsoft. Try searching OEM VGA 360. You should get one from around 15 - 20 dollars. MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT SHIPPED FROM OUTSIDE OF USA.

  • Just bought a 20 gig hard drive

    Will it hurt my gamer tag or my saved games if I move them onto the hdd?Just bought a 20 gig hard drive
    You can always recover your account but nothing bad will happen. I don't know how to move stuff onto a 20gb harddrive though.Just bought a 20 gig hard drive
    i think if he has his profile and game saves on a memory card,he can plug in the hdd and transfer the data over...i could be wrong though:?
    I got an arcade version, and I found an option that says Move, Copy, And Delete. Down below though it says if you move this to a different save station and you are not the owner of the save than you cannot earn the achievements in the game.
    i believe thats a warning for the hackers...there is a way of getting a lot of achievements by using other peoples save files.i dont know how the heck its done though...u should be ok transfering your data over:)
    Ok thanks alot for the help guys, been a pleasure.:D
    no problem...:D[QUOTE=''Gamer-Dude-1-'']Ok thanks alot for the help guys, been a pleasure.:D[/QUOTE]

    VGA Cable Question???

    I have a 22 inch insignia lcd hdtv which has input lag, and I was told to try VGA cables to reduce this input lag. So I was wondering, does the VGA cable support 1680x1050 resolution? That's why the TV is and I heard you have to match the native resolution exactly to get rid of the input lag.VGA Cable Question???
    I just checked, it does.



    edit: Are you sure that's your TV's native res? Most HDTV's are either 1280x720 or 1920x1080.VGA Cable Question???
    My xbox is connected through VGA and yes 1680x1050 is a resolution you can play at.
    [QUOTE=''ThatGuyFromB4'']I just checked, it does.

    Yes it is, weird I know, but I double checked. Does anyone know if this will reduce input lag?
    It probably will. Dont ask me why...

    Why All The Hate For TMNT: Re-shelled?

    It makes me mad to read these reviews. I haven't even played the game, but if it is is the same gameplay as the orignal then it should be rated about 95/100. I don't understand what could possibly be bad about this game. It was one of my very favourites on Super Nintendo and I have so many great memories of having so much fun playing it with friends. I don't see any need to add anything new to it. The fact that is has updated graphics seems to be the only update it needs and is a great positive. How can they give Street Fighter 4 such great reviews when it is basically the same game as Street Fighter 2 with updated graphics, and give this game such poor reviews because it offers nothing new?!?! It doesn't make any sense to me at all. More complicated does not mean better. Some of the simpleset games are the most fun.Why All The Hate For TMNT: Re-shelled?
    I had a blast playin that ****. Worth the 800 points Why All The Hate For TMNT: Re-shelled?
    Its not so much that the game is bad so to say. It's actually pretty good for some nice co-op beat em up action. It's just what Ubisoft did was they took out all the stuff that made playing ninja turtles fun in my opinion. I know its hard to live up to a SNES/ Arcade classic like the original, but its the little things like no triple combo, clunky controls, the throwing mechanics, etc. Then you throw in the huge issues (in my opinion) like the extremely short story mode and just the terrible butchered music.I guess I expect too much considering this is one of my favorite original games all time. But I, among other fans were greatly dissapointed. New comers to the series may find it great, but in my opinion this game is nothing like its original counterpart.
    too expensive?, i dont know, looks cool to me
    Because the $10 is overpriced for an outdated genre. Beat em up games like Double Dragon, Final Fight etc have been dead since basically the mid 90's The last good beat em up games were Guardian Heroes for the Saturn and Panzer Bandit for the Playstation 1. $10 for a half hour to an hour's wroth of gameplay is inexcusable even for a downloadable title. True some games are outdated like Doom, Duke Nukem, 3d, and Wolfenstein, but those games are a benchmark for gaming. they only cost 5 dollars and they give you much more bang for your buck. It is shameful that MS was thinking about charging 15 dollars for this at one point when the Banjo Kazooie games offer much more for that amount. Even $15 for those games is pushing it when you can get Mario 64 for $10 on Wii and FF7 for $10 on PS3. You are letting nastalgia cloud your judgment.They tried to revive the beat em up genre on PS1 with Fighting force and Spawn and on PS2 with Bouncer and a couple other games. The genre is a waste nowadays.

    Street fighter 4 is not the same game as Street fighter 2. Theyre very different in terms of combos, balancing etc



    Beat em ups arent as popular these days and theres no beebop and rocksteady.



    Remakes need updates. Look at the gamecube RE1
    I haven't played it, but everyone I've talked to says that it's NOT the same gameplay. They simplified it and made it easier when there was no point in it, and doesn't play like the same game with 3D graphics. It's ragged on because it was a bad remake.
    ok i was jus comparing this remake with my SNES copy and the truth is the SNES ver. is WAY BETTER!!! the art style, music and controls are way better on snes

It is pretty awful, but still entertaining to some degree. It would have made a much better cell phone game IMO.
    gameplay wise it is fine. Yeah the 3D does change it up from the classic 2D, but that doesn't mean it is worse. I however dislike the music. The classic music and voices or sounds for that matter were awesome compared to this new stuff.But anyway it is just peoples opinions. I like this someone likes that and it doesn't mean one is better or worse.

    uhm i think in everyones op the SNES is better than the remake
    I LOVE the original. it saddens me to hear such negative comments. I'll play the demo :P
    there are 2 things that mad me mad. 1 is the took out one of my favorite stage inside the technodrome which would have been stage 4. The second is the narrator. i used to love the way they said the name off the stage. Now the way it is very meh at best. On the good note i did have alot of fun in the 4 player coop with friends of mine.
    I got it, and beat it 4 times already. It only takes an hour to beat the game. They dumbed down the gameplay and made the levels REALLY short. It's nothing like the original.



    BUT, I liked it nonetheless. All thanks to the survival mode. :)
    I had a good time with this remake, but utterly disappointed in it also, the original SNES and Arcade versions are literally the best Turtles games ever made, but this remake took away from all that, for starters the updated graphics, control scheme, and gameplay just didn't do it for me, and didn't feel the same as the past versions.''Ubisoft, please consider a re-release or free patch to add the original versions of this game, I would have loved to play the SNES game remade or not.
    honestly i'd rather go out and hunt for an SNES and a copy of the SNES version.
    since people say its easier...is there a hard mode?
    Who's hating? who doesnt love TMNT?!
    uhm i think saying everyone would be untruthful because i stated i didn't think it was better or worse, but different. That makes what you said not really right.... kind of question why you said it anyway...
    People who say it's nothing like the original are blinded by nostalgia. The fact of the matter is, the game is pretty simple and didn't age as well as people thought. It's not bad at all, it's just average by today's standards.

  • If 50cent was in MW2 single player then ...

    Im glad 50 cent is only in MP. IF he was in single player I think the script would go something like this:Cpt: 'Smith, I need you to flank left with Andrews and hit em with grenades. Stanley and Jefferson are gonna provide covering fire while the rest flank right and attack from the rear. Is that clear soldiers?'50 Cent: 'Yeh Mother ******! Im gonna show them ****** who's boss. Mah name's fiddy cent and I got the magic stick'lol But seriously, do you think 50cent should be in the game at all?If 50cent was in MW2 single player then ...
    its not like hes gonna be rapping next to you all the time, hes just gonna be cole train of modern warfare 2 (i didnt mean that to sound racist just incase anyone says anything). hes bound to be better than oblivions voice actorsIf 50cent was in MW2 single player then ...

    This is not a racist thread and I did not find your comment racist. If 50cent iis by your side i hope he doesnt talk too much im not really a fan of him
    good :D and yeah i hope he doesnt talk alot coz i can imagine alot of F bombs dropping all the time which wuld just get annoying. i know its going off topic and whatnot but does anyone know how many spec ops maps theres supposed to be and if they dynamically change at all like left 4 dead mixed with terrorist hunt on rainbow six vegas?

    Not sure what the answers to your questions are

    but i dout they will say any F bombs because they dont tend to swear in COD
    That would be fun, imagine hunting down enemies while 50 cent's rapping next to you to keep you company and you could use him as a human shield, I mean look he's taken like 9 bullets and still alive :P
    Just because he's black and a rapper doesn't mean he acts like that all the time. In fact he only acted like that in his video game to put on a show for his fans.

    lol.
    I didnt even realize 50 Cent was supposed to be in MW2. Must have decided that they were joking and blocked it from my memory.I just dont want him to be like a main focus just because its 50 Cent.
    He is just gonna be the voice for some dude, and that dude is not 50 cent, so I doubt he'll gangsta talk in it... unless he's a terrorist... hmm...
    if 50 rapped by my side in MW2 it would just make it all the more funnier when i get a headshot
    wow talk about stereotypes.



    he is just going to say ''reloading'' and ''tango down'', and stuff like that. I don't think he's gonna be a character, just the voice of the extra marines.

    read the OP: 50 Cent: 'Yeh Mother ******! Im gonna show them ****** who's boss. Mah name's fiddy cent and I got the magic stick'



    that's stereotyping 50 Cent, making fun of ''rap'' slang, etc, etc, etc.
