Universe at War: Earth Assault ?

full game any good? i didnt like the demo very much...im just getting a little tired of shooters and bad games Universe at War: Earth Assault ?
my cousin let me borrow it a few weeks ago. i played for like 2 hours then it was so boring. idk maybe it was cuz i didnt really know what to do.and how could you be tired. gtaIV is out!Universe at War: Earth Assault ?
i didnt like the demo either. but if you want to get into rts gamees but dawn of war for pc
Another one here who didn't like the demo, me. I never played the full game, you probably shouldn't either

I have it for PC, I'd stay away from it till all the patches come out. It is a step away from the norm and a good game, but there are so many bugs and glitches that can ruin it. Rent it is my recomendation if you are interested in it.
played the demo.... didnt like it.

I have it on pc and its an average rts but if youre after something different from all the shooters you will probably enjoy it

Age of Conan Hyborian Adventure still co ...

I was just wondering is Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures still going to come out on the Xbox360, how would it work as far as chating?

Im asking if its coming out is because I went to Gamestop.com and it doesn't show the 360 game up anymore.

Age of Conan Hyborian Adventure still co ...
Its still coming out on the 360 as far as i know.The game is amazing on PC and ive been having a wonderful time playing it.I am hoping that it turns out just as good for the 360, as i have heard that you might be able to play PC players and 360 players together (like shadowrun).Amazing game and is up there with NG2 are my fav games so far this yearAge of Conan Hyborian Adventure still co ...
Last time I looked it's still slated for a Q3 2008 release for the 360. And I can't wait for it!
That's good news. I not a MMO PC guy but I'm a big Conan fan and an RPG fan so this one really interests me.
yeah its still coming out but I heard the earliest is going to be winter of 2008 or at least early 2009.

download x-box orginal or buy the actual ...

i was wondering wat is better to do buy the orginal x-box game or download it. I have a elite so harddrive space is not a problem. Also i was wondering what game should i download. download x-box orginal or buy the actual ...
I'd download it if I had that much space. Unless you can get the actual game at a flea market like I can for 5 dollars. I'd go with Ninja Gaiden Black, Halo, and Black.download x-box orginal or buy the actual ...
I'd rather buy the games. Probably find them online cheaper.Ninja Gaiden Black is a good one to get.
The games are marginally cheaper when bought in disc form but if HDD space is of no concern, downloading them is your best option. Psychonauts and Indigo Prophecy are good games to download.
I'd buy the game simply because my connection is terrible and it would take a massive ammount of time to download an Xbox original.
I'm a collector so I would buy the physical game, no questions asked.This may sound stupid but I didnt know you can play Xbox games on the Xbox 360. Someone misinformed me that the 360 can only play downloaded versions of the Xbox originals. Needless to say, that's great news. Now, I can start my Xbox Original collection.
The actual game. I can see that maybe later on all games will be bought through digital copies but the actual game is a lot more appealing to have.
You can't take your xbox original digital copy to your friend's house to play.

Buy it irl. there's no real advantage for either one, but I prefer having a hard copy.
I'd rather have the disc if I can find it.
Not to mention just about every backwards compatible game runs like crap .You see people here talking about Kotor all the time , and then say oh it is just a little framerate issue . Yea sure it is . The only way backwards compatible games might not bother you is if you never played it before . I don't even put mine in the system anymore . I have yet to see an xbox game that was emulated well .

Download it if you can afford it and you want to help create less garbage. Buy the actual game if you need the lowest price possible and don't mind knowing that the box, book and disc are all going to end up in a landfill one day.
Most Xbox1 games are so cheap on ebay, like 1 or 2 pound so I'd buy them

How does Ninja Gaiden black run on 360?

well i see that NG2 released i wanna play the first one, but i dont have free space to dl the game from the marketplace, any ideas where i can get it new?How does Ninja Gaiden black run on 360?
eBay, but why is your topic question different than your past question?How does Ninja Gaiden black run on 360?
what ? i dont recall asking lol, ebay was all used
Try amazon.com, and it runs fine, I played it a few weeks ago.
one other thing what does stigma have that black doesn't?
It runs perfect, I didnt have any problems.
it runs fine. If you have EB Games or something like that, just go there and you'll probably find a used copy.
o this is lame lol
k i know this is the 360 forum etc, but here is my question seeing as i have not beaten any of NG would it be wise to pick up sigma? or NG black and why?
Sigma is essentially the same thing but with improved graphics...
hmmm k ill pursue black then :(

Believe it or not, MS is trying to fix the problem. They've created a new chip to put in the 360 that helps with the problem. You have to give them some time to fix any errors, though. It takes time to design something and then get it manufactored and out to the public. This is why games take so long to be developed. If you think you have a solution, or can come up with something more quickly, then you should contact MS about giving you a job.
ok understandable it dose take time to fix probles but i dnt see nintendo or sonys consoles having these problems from my point of view there should of been no problems with the console before they launched it. and microsft i mean come on how much money do they have if the worked hard they could of fixed it easily.

[/QUOTE]You really think sending people a refurb or repackaged broken 360 is ''fixing'' their mistake? I think not. I would bet that 70% of refurbs either never work or stop working within a weeks time..
It's fixing their mistake if those refurbs have replacement parts that are more reliable and still covered under the warranty. ALL electronics companies of ANY type are going to send you a refurb before a brand new one if they have it in stock. To expect anything else is pretty ridiculous. Take a cell phone company that fulfills warranties for the manufacturers. They do the same thing.
So, you didn't get your pie today so you wanna have a fit on here? I don't see the point of this thread at all.
ive had rrod twice and im not mad so you have no right
thats why they invented something called microsoft's free 3 year warranty.

Have you ever heard of a hasty generalization?All in all, the RROD has been quite a problem. Whether it's fixed or not, it was such a big deal at one point, that it will continue being brought up through the console's lifetime. Hopefully, our friends at Redmond will take this to heart when designing and procuring components for the next Xbox.
why r u pissed that u havn't gotten red ring of death?! i know i wouldn't if it hadn't happened to me. i'm on my 2nd 360 and my second one is working as when i got the new one.

  • Nyko intercooler?

    Summer is rolling around again, and my room..is not cool. My 360 actually gets so hot, it makes my room even hotter. Will the Nyko help this at all?Nyko intercooler?
    BumpNyko intercooler?

    The heat has to go somewhere. I suspect this intercooler will cool down your xbox but take the heat and put it out into your room. There is no way to just make the heat go awayunles you vent it out a window or something.
    the only thing that the intercooler does is that instead of warm air coming out of your 360, cool air will come out, so it will help your situation.

    two and a half years

    After having my xbox 360 pro for two and a half years, this afternoon i finally got the rrod. i guess i can't complain since it lasted this long. i've always wanted an excuse to buy a new xbox 360 elite and now i finally have one. i'm pretty sure i'm going to get it. are there any perks to buying one besides the 120gb hard drive? Another thing is i'm debating about two different games to get: call of duty 4 or ng 2?two and a half years
    i beleave there is a hdmi port in the newer ones thats about it beside the hard drive. two and a half years
    i got rrod after 1 year. got it fixed in 10 days. cod4 is a sweet game. a must have
    Ninja Gaiden 2, definitely.
    I'm with you on the 2.5 years. I got the RROD a few weeks ago and all i did was turn it off and then back on and it worked fine. Then it did it 3 times in a row back to back and wouldnt turn on anymore. I had a little cry and began unhooking it to get it ready to ship away. Then i remembered what the techs at Microsoft said about unhooking and re-hooking everything. So i plugged all my crap back in and poof. My xbox has magically started working again and i havent RROD since.(over 1 month ago). Give it a try if you haven't.

    What would it take for YOU to quit gamin ...

    Imagine you can have whatever you want, but you have to trade in any gaming system you have and never play a video game again. What would it be.I think I would trade it for time control...What would it take for YOU to quit gamin ...
    if my 360 never gets fixed and Wii fit bores me after a while....What would it take for YOU to quit gamin ...
    Probably immortality or something like that, with some cool powers.
    one million dollars (cold, hard cash).
    Age, and I'm talking 40 or 50. Even then it's a stretch. When I worked at EB I had a guy who was at least 60 who came in regularly to buy games.
    If I owned Playboy Mansion and their whole industry... omg who would need games....
    To QUIT forever.....I don't know but I did recently destroy a few games (madden, nbka 2k) because I was addicted to them. I don;t play games that don't end anymore :).For $5 a day Id quit forever.
    If i suddenly become blind or my hands get chopped off :D
    Tough question - I'm 37 yrs old and have been playing video games since PONG was out.To get me to stop playing video games forever, it would probably take a nympho who looks like Carman Electra to move into my home.
    i guess all the best looking women (std free) in the world
    When I can't afford it.
    I'd trade it for the ability to actually live out any games I want in like some alternate reality.. and like a billion dollars...
    A nuclear holocaust.
    immortality
    EA buying out the companies I like.Or being able to see through clothing.

    time control would be cool. I would just wish for all the power to do anything thought or dreamt of in the entire universe. :question: i have weird dreams.
    I would say money, but then I realised I spend most of my money now on GAMES.Maybe an STD-free nympho living in my room, ready and willing? :twisted:
    maybe if you guys didnt play so many video games you wouldnt have to wish for sex with a hot girl - that was willing.I will tell you when I cut WAY down on games everything else in my life got much better - including work and sex.I think the guys wishing for time control and immortality (theres no GOD mode in real life) have been playing a FEW too many video games - man at least say something real.

    if you first played Oblivion, did you go ...

    I played the he!! out of Oblivion and am still playing i have clocked 400 hours in the game. But everyone tells me that Morrowind is WAY better. But i've been looking back at the gameplay footage of the old Morrowind, it obviosly is old and out dated. But has anyone jump back to morrowind and enjoyed it? if so how was it going back to a last generation game that is allegely deeper? and would you recommend that I do the same if i loved oblivion?if you first played Oblivion, did you go ...
    I own all the elderscrolls games and have beat each one. With that being said, Oblivion is my least favorite game in teh series.That doesnt mean its a bad game, its just not up to par with the previous games in the series.Once again this is just my opinion. Definatly chek out Morrowind man, its not for everone and doesnt guide you by the hand like in Oblivion, but its got a muh better story, deeper missions, bigger world and the characters that you meet are more interesting. if you first played Oblivion, did you go ...
    Morrowind is only enjoyable on the PC for me... It just doesnt feel right on the xbox. I love Morrowind though, great game.
    Oblivion has several plusses over Morrowind. Oblivion obviously beats Morrowind in terms of presentation. Oblivion is also a lot more user friendly. You can fast travel anywhere, which you couldn't in Morrowind. Quests are easier to complete, due to people and places being easier to find. And whatever people may say about the ''Radiant AI'' system in Oblivion...it's way better than the non-behavior NPCs had in Morrwoind.The thing I hated in Oblivion was the scaling. I remember getting some ebony armor in Morrowind, and it was such a big deal, because it was some of the best armor in the game. In Oblivion, it's all level dependent. It really kills immersion when you become the champion of the Arena at level 5. And those bandits wearing glass armor? **** 'em. Those guys really annoyed me. Scaling took a lot of the suspense of dungeon crawling out of Oblivion. You're never going to meet some super-hardcore badguy, and you're never going to find a Coolguy Sword +5 after you sneak around him, because at level 7, you find all the same level-dependent crap in every dungeon.
    Yeah, I went back to Morrowind and I didn't like it much. But that's just because I found the lack of guidance pretty annoying and it's hard to step back from next-gen to 5 or 6 year old graphics.

But given the fact of where we are at today do you think that game can still be enjoyable since its so old? And in Oblivion i found that spell making and leading a team of followers was fun and imerrsive as well as getting deep into alchemny. I have three charators, one is a pure warrior who i maxed out every skill and attribute. the next is a pure mage. And now i'm playing as a thief and assassion. I don;'t use fast travel any more and have stop using the compass. So it makes the game a little more challenging. I think hardcore players liked how everything had to be worked for in morrowind. But after playing oblivion so much i found that if the difficulty bar is slide all the way to the hardest diffculty that the only way to survive in the game is to get a clan together that you get by some guild quest and some DLC. you are forced to come up with creative ways to fight in battles that are very satifiying and are always different even if you die and restart. By having endless abitlity for echanting, spellmaking, teambased playing styling akin to all RPG, alchemny and the game on its hardest setting while staying true to the class you picked out plus not using all the things that make the game to easy, it gets real immersive! I guess the story may not be to people's liking but the sheer capacity to reform and reivse the style of gameplay, is remarkable to me. I guess there's a Novice way of playing the game and an expert way of playing and i think people basis their opioion of the game from the novice level since the game condensends itself

[/QUOTE] Have to agree. Oblivion has been watered down gameplay compared to previous Elder Scroll games, but has nice graphics (At least, did...) Morrowind is vastly superior if you're looking for a deep RPG, but was considered a little ''too'' open ended for those new to the series. Oblivion tends to hold the players hand during the game, Morrowind just drops you in the world and says ''Go at it''. Overall it's definitely a game worth checking out, but I'd very strongly recommend you get the PC version. Much better graphics after some graphic overhaul mods, better combat mods, horses mods (don't have to get off the horse to fight). Plus the thousands of new quests/items and even more land to explore... I couldn't imagine playing Morrowind, or even Oblivion on a console.... The Elder Scroll series has always been about user generated content which makes the replay value virtually unlimited.
    Well actually I first played Morrowind on the Xbox when it came out. I hated it which was a disapointment as I was really looking forward to that game. Took it back the very next day and got something else. I got Oblivion the day it came out...WHY!? you ask?....I dont know?...You would think I had learned my lesson from hatting Morrowind...BUT...I ended up loving Oblivion a lot....I have over 300 hrs on that game. I like to just run around and do nothing at on in that game...So now I have went back to trying to play Morrowind again....Its still nothing great and Im not sure If I will ever get anything done in that game...BUT...Its something to play I guess.
    I played Morrowind before Oblivion was out and hated it. Everyone said Oblivion was awesome so I bought that for 360 and loved it.
    I played Morrowind first and I hated it so I was skeptical about Oblivion. But I played Oblivion and it's become one of my favorite games.

    NHL08 or FIFA08

    Which one should i buyNHL08 or FIFA08
    without a doubt NHL 08NHL08 or FIFA08
    I say FIFA, just cuz a new NHL is only a couple of months away. Both games are really good this year; tough choice.
    I just bought NHL 08 when I got my 360 and let me say that it is a fantastic game. No doubt about it, go with NHL.
    nhl08 is the greatest hockey game ever...even better than nhl94...yes, its true
    Both games are great, I just bought FIFA 08 but have had NHL 08 since launch and I was looking for another good sports game so I got FIFAHowever well I was sick of hockey I have to give it the nod because it was the best Hockey game ever so if you have not played either go with hockey

    I am buying a new Xbox 360, I need to tr ...

    I have looked every where but no one has the same situation as me.

    I already have an Xbox 360 (its the family's) But I am going to be buying another Xbox 360 (not elite) to take with me to school.

    So I need away to take my game saves with me, I already have a memory card and I have placed the saves onto it. So the major question is...

    If I recover my gamertag on the new xbox 360, then copy the saves off the memory card onto the hard drive, will I still be able to gain achievements from those game saves?

    The saves were with my profile to start with, so I am not transfering to a different profile.

    Do you think that would work?I am buying a new Xbox 360, I need to tr ...
    Yes as long as the saves are on the same gamertag as the one you recover to your new console.I am buying a new Xbox 360, I need to tr ...

    Right, I cant do this, I am not buying an elite, and also the family Xbox has my brothers profile on it and the cable will move everything
    If you are buying another 360 I say just go all out and get an Elite.
    lol I would but I'am goin to College and theres stuff I still ahve to get :D
    Couldn't you just save the HDD from your current 360 and use it instead of the Elite's HDD? Or are you buying the Elite for the 120GB HDD?

    No lol I am not trading, I am not getting a Elite(waste), and I cant switch harddrives because it is the family's xbox and so I would be taking all of their stuff as well which I cant. So that is where the memory card comes in

  • Pro or Elite ?

    I'm on the verge of buying a new 360, just don't know which system to get. Do you guys/girls have an opinion on one of the systems, please share your thoughts about it.Pro or Elite ?
    The only reason to get the elite is if you're planning on downloading a lot (demos, movies, XBL arcade, DLC like rock band tracks) and if so, the Elite is a no-brainer. Also, if you have an HDMI port on you HDTV (assuming you own one), then again, the Elite is a no brainer.If you are not going HDTV and don't plan on spending a lot of money on downloads, then just get the pro. I will admit that the typical Rock Band downloader that has an HDTV will run out of space quicker than they think and the 120 GB HDD is $180! If you have never had a 360 or a PS3 and don't know how often you'll be downloading, you may as well spring the extra $$$ for the Elite.Pro or Elite ?
    Pay the extra $100 for the Elite. More HDD space and its Black!!! Well worth it Imo!!! I own an Elite and love it. All of my other components are Black, so a White console just doesnt look right to me!!
    No more thoughts/comments on this?

  • My xbox 360???

    Alright, so i've had a 360 since april 2006, and haven't gotten the RROD yet, is this weird? I have had some minor issues for ex: My disk drive gets jammed sometimes, and every once in a while i get a disk read error, but nothing major. I'm worried because I have less than a year left on the three year warrenty and I don't want to get the RROD after my warrenty has expired. I have a notion that all 360's inevitably get the RROD sometime in their lifespan due to the design and want some advice on this.My xbox 360???

Also, be sure to read thoroughly the first post in that thread, since it contains valuable information regarding the issue. Bear in mind that stickied (floated) threads usually contain useful information about general磒osting guidelines in the board in question, so it wouldn't hurt to check them out whenever you're visiting a new board.

    I had DSL but I recently got Time Warner. I also got a new router so now I can join games faster now. I would always have problems joing COD4 games but now I don't. I don't know the exact speed though.

    NG 2 demo?

    Yeah, my xbox is broken and heats up really, really fast when I play any games. Although, when I play demo's it lasts a lot longer, so I was wondering if the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo came out yet because I don't want to get NG 2 if my xbox isn't going to work. Also if I send it in, I won't get it back for 3-5 weeks.NG 2 demo?
    Its not up yet waiting for it too. That sucks for your xbox do you get the red rings when it heats up??NG 2 demo?
    No man, i get these 2 red rings and I called Microsoft and they said my heatsinks are completely dead. That's why I want to play the demo so bad because I don't want to waste my money for NG 2 even though it is such an amazing game(played it at my friends house).

    Thinking of finally getting a 360.

    Has anyone bought one recently that has had breakdown issues, RRoD etc.??I have had a PS3 for several months now..and quite frankly..I'm tired of all the warm fuzzy colors that most of the games have, GTA4, especially. And I have seen shots of several of the same games for 360 and, although similar, they seem more vibrant and rich in color. My only concern is, as mentioned, getting one..only to have it go belly-up within the first week. Have these issues pretty much been squashed now? ThanksThinking of finally getting a 360.
    i have mine for over a year without any problems at all, so i cant sayThinking of finally getting a 360.
    my 360 just broke down about 2 weeks ago? i dont remember i kinda got over it a bit...(it died on me a week before ninja gaidenII!) i personally would wait until the new motherboards come out with better cooling in september but if you really cant wait you could probably get it now with no problems
    oh well if they are going to redesign them, I'll just wait. thanks for the reply.
    I've had the Elite since August 2007, not broken yet *touch wood*
    They're making a jasper model which is supposed to be much more reliable but it's highly unlikely that you'll have any problems with the newest falcon chip model. I play hours on end sometimes and I don't have any heat problems at all but I have the best buy warranty so when the new models come out I can swap my current model for a better one.
    well that's neat!! I might go that route then if I still can.
    I've had my elite for a while too. I got it when my launch console finally broke down. it finally broke down after almost 2 years.
    Aye!

    I've been through 3 X360...

    1st one... Was kinda my fault the Nikko Intercooler, instead of helping it actually broke my console... 'cause of crappy production.

    2nd one... The lens broke... and it would freeze during gameplay (completely M$'s Fault :P)

    3rd one... Has been working like a charm... **knocks on wood** Not to mention it came with the free HDMI... A must for HDTV's like mine...

    I for one would suggest... buying it... I think the console has been through its rough stages... and the new 3 year warranty would deal with any problems thay may arise...

    yeah, the RROD problems are fixed for the most part. Just make sure you get an hdmi equipped model (which means it's newer) If you can get a jasper, even better. There is probably a way to tell if it's a jasper, so you may dig around on the internet a little bit for some tips.

    Is it because of Elite or is it I'm luck ...

    Well I bought my X360 Elite back in April 2007 and it's been over a year now and I got no problems so far, I didn't use any coolers or fans whatsoever.So is it because Eite is more immune to RROD or is it I'm just the few lucky ones?Is it because of Elite or is it I'm luck ...
    I got my Elite in August 07 and it RROD'ed. There's no ''luck'' or ''immunity''. RROD just happens.Is it because of Elite or is it I'm luck ...
    I hear the Elites are better quality-tested so that if you pay more they at least wanna make sure you really get your money's worth.
    I can't confirm nor deny the quality of the Elite's... However a good friend of mine owns one... and Its been through alot since the purchase date... and so far... It has shown no signs of slowing down...

    But I assume M$ would atleast take the time to make a slightly better machine... considering your are paying more money for it... But then again mates... always keep this in mind...

    Xbox 360 NCAA Football 09 Online Dynasty ...

    I'm running a NCAA Football 09 Online Dynasty League. I'm hoping to get a full 60 team league. There will be five conferences: ACC, Big 12, Big 10, Pac 12 (added to teams), and the SEC. I added some teams that are powerhouses from other conferences not listed, and I also took out the teams that aren't very competitive. I'm hoping to have the first kickoff on July 18th... Below is a website that will go along with the league: http://mprince5.webs.com/If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me on AIM: UNCFutureStar5 or through email: mbrett5@yahoo.com

  • Should I Get this 360? HELP!!!

    Someone i know has a 360 that he never plays. It is the core system with a Hard Drive, so no headset. also the wired controller does not work. the 360 itself has some scratches on it and used to have a GH3 sticker on it and he tryed taking it off and some of the sticky things of the sticker left some marks. it also comes with Halo 3 Collectors edition with both discs..........................and only the cover for the Manuel. other than that both discs run fine. all this for 100 bucks. and o yea please note, my brother has a 360 with 2 controllers and a headset and a lot of good games, Halo 1, 2, 3, Rainbow six Vegas 1 and 2, gta4, cod2, forza 2, so i can just use his controller and headset and play some of his games. also i already have a Gamertag from using his 360 and Games for Windows Live. should i go pick it up today?Should I Get this 360? HELP!!!
    Yeah for 100 bucks I say go for it. The sticky crap can come off easily, but just make sure he didnt get the console banned from Live, and that he didnt tamper with it.Should I Get this 360? HELP!!!

    OK, I'm having some networking issues. When I use the Control Panel to look up devices on my network, I can see my 360. But when I go to Media Sharing on WMP11, my Xbox isn't found. Any hints?
    are your xbox and pc connected to the same network?

    is there a cure to d-bagitis?

    it seems like i can't play a game online without being bombarded by curses and name calling. i primarily play gears, but no matter what game it is people are never happy with the way you kill them. (martyrdom, m16 in cod4 and active reloads w/ sniper and pistol whipping in gears are examples). occasionally i get lucky and find a room of people who are actually pretty calm but i've found as soon as there's one d-bag everyone gets pissed at him and it quickly escalates. does anyone have suggestions for microsoft to fix this? i'm just trying to think of something they could implement but no one really cares about reputation or whateveris there a cure to d-bagitis?
    Yea, i play COD all the time and if I'm playing search , and kill someone with martydom they just whine about it for the whole time. It gets really annoying and hopefully Xbox can warn these people or beat them physically.is there a cure to d-bagitis?
    Just mute them. I didn't notice any cussing today. There's idiots everywhere and XBL isn't any different. There's going to be people like that forever and there's not much we can do about it. Ignore them and forget them is the easiest way.

    Yeap you did it, Itagaki. He may a complete a$$hole but he made a h3ll of a game. Sure he critizes all other hack and slashes but lets be serious if you came out with a game as fun as his I would do the same thing. So everyone lets say good buy to the creator of Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden 2, while talking about it's flaws.Thanks a$$hole for making a game with awesome finishing moves, but giving us the lousest camera angles.

    Listen I understand honestly the camera isn't terrible because I can manage it. It I'm just saying it could be better. Plus I could make a great game like his the only thing is I don't feel like programming in all of the complex button imputs. Trust me I programmed before and it takes forever.

    Anybody Have Incredible Hulk?

    How is it ?Anybody Have Incredible Hulk?
    I don't have it, but my friend does and he says it's like Ultimate Destuction and I don't know if thats a good or bad thing but Ultimate Destruction was an amazing game and he said the graphics were good too. But I don't know that much at the moment.Anybody Have Incredible Hulk?
    i just got it, played the first couple of missions, its a fun game and like ultimate destruction, you pretty much free roam around the city doing whatever you want and you can get a threat level , like gta's wanted level, and the army will come after you, or you can go to icons on the map and do missions.

    Would it

    I know that we have to pay for live, but is it to much to as for free downloadable game content. I don't mean the game pic or themes. I mean the DLC live Mass Effect's Bring down the sky, or Halo 3's extra maps. Then to me live would be completely worth it despite having to pay $4 or $7 a month.Would it
    i think its worth it. its pritty cheap to pay for its $5 a month 50 a year that is pritty cheap compared to like mmos.

    360 Rumble

    Since I've got my wireless controller I have never used my wired one. I was playing split screen co-op with a friend using my wired controller the other day. I noticed that the vibration feedback was much stronger, it was like playing with a completely different controller. I coiuld especially notice this while playing some racing games where i could feel every bump and crack I drove over. I had to connect my wireless controler just to make sure I had my rumble on. After playing with the wired I had to connect my wireless again just to make sure that I had the rumble on.Anyways... I was wondering if you guys expierenced the same thing. Is there way to increase the rumble feature on the wireless controller that I don't know of? 360 Rumble

    Wow, this is a new low for paid online s ...

    So, I'm primarily a PC gamer, but I do own a 360 because my friends are mainly 360 guys and for some exlusives and such.So because I'm a PC gamer, I'm pretty used to getting my online play for free (well, aside from the ISP, which my parents pay for anyway). However, my XBL Gold exipred back in February and due to World in Conflict, BF2, and other such games, it wasn't a huge deal. I have an 8800GTS and there wasn't much out on the 360 that interested me. No big deal right? However, as a long-time fan of the Battlefield series I was looking forward to Bad Company (even though it's a simpler, smaller game), and with the destruction features, new mode (plus Conquest coming soon), and other such features, who wouldn't be?So today comes and I hear from my PS3-owning friend that the BC demo is out on PSO (which updates on Thursday), so I decide to look for it on XBLM, and there it is. However, it's for Gold subscribers only.Naturally, I'm pretty upset by this. Now, I could understand if the SP portion was free and it wouldn't let me play on XBL, but the fact that it wouldn't even let me download the demo is total bull. Seeing as how I won't even have to pay them to play the full version of the SP game, there's really no justification for this.Even worse, I tried using a free trial that came with Halo 3 when I got it (and was still subscribed, and thus didn't need it). However, apparently that's only a gameplay trial and not a two-day Gold period, despite what the thing claims (it says GOLD TRIAL on it...).Any word as to if it's coming for Silver any time? I guess it's not a huge deal because BC comes out five days after my school lets out, so I can pick it up a little less than a week after school (which is when I was planning on renewing). Point is, the reason there even IS a demo is to gain popularity for your product and how the hell are you going to do that by limiting the number of people who can receive the demo?

    the limitations placed on silver accounts are there to give more incentive for people to upgrade to gold. as for not ever being able to download the demo, dont worry. I am fairly certain that having a gold membership just allows you earlier access to demos. you should be able to download it with a silver account, you just cant do it as soon as a demo arrives on XBL.Wow, this is a new low for paid online s ...

    Gold subscribers pay a price for a premium service. Why shouldn't we get things first? It's our membership fees that make XBL so awesome for everybody - including the cheapskates who won't pay $4 per month. Live Silver members get a huge amount of stuff for free, courtesty of the Gold members - stop whining about the one thing you don't get. In fact, you will get the demo, just one week after the Gold members. Is that so bad considering it's free?
    Just so you know, it will come to silver no more than a week later.

And it's not a case of being conceited, it just really gets on my nerves when people moan about how crappy a service is when it's free. What is MS supposed to do? Pay people for signing up for Silver? And what does being a PC gamer have to do with anything? I am too, and I enjoy playing games online for free on my PC, but the 360 is a different ecosystem and I don't see what the problem is with paying to play. It's not like MS tries to hide the fact.
    your 48 hours of gold do not start until you sign out and sign back in. do so, and you can download the demo.

    Ok, i got this in the Duke Nukem boards and i forgot the guy who got it but it wasn't me. So all cfredit goes to that guy.

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I have been waiting the full 12 years to see that. Right on.For everyone else, the good stuff starts about 3 1/2 minutes into the video.Thanks again man.This will be killer.

OOOOOHHHHH, this will be good.My youth is soon to be relived in a glorious fashion.
    its dead let it rest in peace
    I still think this game will never come out why dont they just give up on it
    The one thing that will suck is that with the old one you could buy a cd with hundreds of maps for cheap cheap cheap and I don't think that will happen with the new one. :(Hey, I just thought of something:''THIS TIME IT'S COMING FOR REAL, I CAN FEEL IT!'' - Me about 10 years ago when everyone was talking about the great new engine for it and how it was only months away. ''THIS TIME IT'S COMING FOR REAL, I CAN FEEL IT!'' - Me today.

    So today i downloaded the demo for BF BC.. and i know there have been a lot of threads on this sorry!!

    But im a huge fps mp fan... thats all i do on my 360. However, i just recently got my xbox back and never had a chance to pick up COD 4... I played it once and liked it but bought GTA 4 instead (bad choice since its not really my game).. i played the bf bc demo but i ive only played COD 4 for an hour or two and bf bc for about 4 hours..

    for those who have played both what would you recommend as the OVERALL better game/fps..

    Thanks!
    still torn...
    I'd say CoD4. One of the best games on the console and easily in the top 3 for online games. Most people would give it the 1 spot but i could never decide.still torn...
    uh CoD4, but i liked Bf:BC demo also so it's a toss up.
    BF FC? Cod4 owns, so it wouldnt be a bad choice. but im not sure what bf fc is .

    Battlefield : Bad Company

    Call of Duty 4, the online is the most addictive thing I've ever played. You can't go wrong with it, but Battlefield isn't coming out for a while so try out COD a little more for now and if it's not your thing then go for Bad Company.

    What Two X-Box Originals

    Im getting 2 X-Box originals and i dont know which 2 i should get. This is You opinoinWhat Two X-Box Originals
    I'd head over to gamestop and buy three used Original Xbox games for the price you'd pay for two downloads.What Two X-Box Originals
    The only one worth getting is Ninja Gaiden Black as it is actually cheaper to download than to buy from store i think. But on tghe downside it takes up 6 GB. But i would get Ninja Gaiden Black if your up for a challege part two just came out too, and Halo or Fable is alright.

    of the games ive played through so far, id say the end of half life; episode 2
    Even though this is not a XBox 360 game, the biggest epic moment was THE big secret from Star Wars: KOTOR. That was one of the hugest plot twist I've come across. For those of you that have played KOTOR, you know what moment I'm talking about. For those who haven't played it, I won't reveal what it is.As for the Xbox 360, I liked Mass Effect's ending. It was a great conclusion to the first part of the trilogy. An epic ending.

    I'd wait for better things to become available. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the GTAIV DLC announced for this fall.

    [/QUOTE]I'd say Halo's Legendary maps, and grab an Arcade game. I'd suggest N+, or Aces of the Galaxy. If you can skip the Legendary MP, you could get Penny arcade for 1600 MS Points, which I've heard is pretty good (I might be getting it soon). But the Legendary MP is fairly good, and a lot better than the Heroic one. + you get Bungie Pro for 4 months.
    [QUOTE=''dxy592'']I'd wait for better things to become available. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the GTAIV DLC announced for this fall.[/QUOTE] I agree. I'm doing the same.
    I enjoyed the Mass Effect TLC. It wasn't as amazing as Viirmire but I was satisfied. Besides you can choose from a wide array of special goodies in the end of the mission+ achievement. I also got a couple of maps for Halo 3.
    If your a big fan of Halo, get the map pack, and if your a fighting fan, Soul Calibur (from the Dreamcast) is coming to the arcades this summer as well.
    wait for Bionic Commando Rearmed
    I buy a lot of arcade games and I suggest buyng 400 point games like Doom, or all the Sega games... My favs are Golden Axe and N+ which is 800
    halo 3 legendary map pack n doom if u want but surely get halo 3 lmp
    The only DLC I've purchased is extra songs for Rock Band. Nothing else really seems worthwhile until GTA IV's stuff comes out.
    Doom, Sonic the Hedgehog and Small Arms are really good arcade games.
    If Bungie follows precedence, the Halo maps will eventually be free. I wouldn't spend money on them.If they were my 1600 points, I'd probably buy some Rock Band DLC.
    Another vote for waiting, for either GTA IV DLC or Bionic Commando Rearmed or 1942 Joint StrikeIf you aren't going to wait, Ikaruga is my fave although it's not for everyone -- play the demo first to make sure it's your cup of tea. N+ delivers a lot of gameplay but some of it is as frustrating as a video game can possibly be.
    I am getting more points later guys so don't tell me to wait, lol. I plan on getting a lot of the later things like SF II HD %26 Castle Crashers later :D...anymore ideas?
    Dont get the Halo maps, in another couple months theyll be free, you might as well wait it out seeing as how there are so many other games to play right now.
    I heard some funny things about the Penny Arcade game. Except it's way too much so I will never buy it.. not worth it at all to me, never really liked those guys.. but meh.I'd suggest a bunch of songs for Guitar Hero or Rock Band if you've got them. Map pack for CoD4, and seriously.. find yourself a theme and a gamerpic. There are so many good pictures for like.. 80 points, if you really like it and think it is a good way to represent you then grab it.I don't know, just look around and go nuts!
    [QUOTE=''Danold'']Dont get the Halo maps, in another couple months theyll be free, you might as well wait it out seeing as how there are so many other games to play right now.[/QUOTE]Dude Bungie confirmed that they aren't going to make the Legendary Maps Free (ever)

    who doesn't think oblivion is the greate ...

    I not going to start off by stating all the reasons why i think it is, rather, I just want to hear peoples specific reasons why they don't think it is. My premise of this thread that it is, in fact, the best signal player game this generation, yet, because of a lack of imagination, creativity and the lack of setting self limitations, players have failed to tap into the great wealth of gaming this game has to offer. On that note, I have bought and played most all the xbox 360 games that have any type of relevance. In the signal player aspect, I still play oblivion on a regular basis. Not becasue it's a matter of preference, but because objectively speaking it surpasses gameplay mechanics, depth and customizable features are still unparalleled. One possibility is that the on-line gaming world prefers soical gaming rather than signal player game, which is understandable because i go through though spells as well. And in those times a signal player game is not too appealing. Nevertheless, that does not affect my premise, because it is the signal player aspects of the game that are relevant in this discussion. finally, I'm sure many threads such as this one already exist, but the ones that I have read, the person arguing for oblivion's position, failed to do the game justice. That's not saying someone hasn't done that, rather, it suggest that I haven't tried researching the history of this topic since I'll find it more entertain to just discuss it myself. In light of that please refrain from raising criticism about per-phial issues.who doesn't think oblivion is the greate ...
    I like Mass Effect better, but Oblivion would probably be a close second. I'm having trouble getting myself to play through it again though, i beat most of the game and got many of the achievments on my friends xbox before i had one, and i loved every minute of it. It's just not as fun to have to do alot of that stuff over.who doesn't think oblivion is the greate ...

It's just not as fun to have to do alot of that stuff over.[/QUOTE] This is my point, it's how you play the game. I've played through Mass Effect 4 times with all different classes thereby changing the gameplay experance. mass effect was definitly a great game but it doesn't have the depth that oblivion has. the thing with oblivion is this, if you play it like it is a regualar game to just get through the story lines, which i have done it would get old fast. However, i would have to know the charator types you have played with, how many hours you put into it, class of charator and the diffuculty settting you had it on. If played correctly and in different ways there are much more options that can unfold through out oblivion.
    Oblivion is an awesome game, but it doesn't have much replay value once you've played for 200+ hours and have downloaded all the add-ons. I haven't done this but its lost a lot of supporters from this.
    They should make some more content and upgrade glitches and then it would go from great to awesome and be the greatest single player game this gen.
    I've played it as an imperial the first time, i use a custom class. I was a vampire for most of the game. I don't remember how many hours i played but my friend and I spent about 2 months playing it almost every night. The second time i was also an imperial but i used a different custom class. I think i'm like 15 hours deep. I do agree there is a ton to do, and alot of fun to be had with the different things that you can do. My only problem is all the missions are really dull after you beat them once, there are exceptions of course. So i'm having trouble progressing.
    The story never really captured me and it took out too many things from the third. It was a great experience but they stripped it down way too much. I loved the game but i just think the third with improvements in graphics and some combat tweeks would be a lot better. They made it alittle too casual and easy. The leveling system annoyed me too. I'm not saying the game sucked or anything i loved it to death just thought the third was a lot better.
    Oblivion is a great game, but Mass Effect is soooo much better IMO. The story, narrative, and gameplay is everything I've ever wanted outta a game. Oblivion's level scaling made it feel kinda weak sometimes.
    no i dont because personally i think it did everything right but the combat itself i get so immersed to be disappointed
    i liked mass effect better
    [QUOTE=''GameMasterCraig'']Oblivion is an awesome game, but it doesn't have much replay value once you've played for 200+ hours and have downloaded all the add-ons. I haven't done this but its lost a lot of supporters from this.[/QUOTE] well it depends on how you approach the game. I have like 500 hours so far and am still creating new charators and putting self liminations in place like not using fast travel and the compass. I have beat every mission and side quest already too and have every add on. I am a master at level powering and getting rich. One charator i have onws every house and still has 500,000 thousands. you can make the game better by endless spell making and with the diffculty bar on its hardest setting. however, if you start playing as a new role it changes the whole game into something new. That's the beauty in this game. People on the first go around will get used to playing a certain way that works for them and complete the game that way. However, if you take away those tactis and force yourself into playing in a whole new style then each battle feels different and the progression of the game takes longer. You have to milk this game to really enjoy it's true essence. However, one has to have displine to tap into the matcurity of the game though. Even hardcore fans critize the games simplicity because of the handicape features. Nevertheless, the same depth is still there just like morrowind if you want it to be there. But when people play through the game in a rush to see what happens then they don't feel like there is any reason to play through it as a real RPG and are therefore dissatified. I didn't come to realize this until after i started two more charactors. My first one, mind you had 400 hours clocked into to it. however, now approaching the game from new angels made me realize that those 400 hours was merely an intorduction into the possiblities of how i could play the game. The game is what you make it and can be as hard or easy as you want it. So the value of the game centers itself upon the gamer, which in my option is it's greastest strength. However, like the old adage goes, one's greastest strength is also your greastest weakness. Because a lot of gamers depend upon the game to impose certain factors that make the game become more or less harder or easyer. With the right type of mind set so many differnet type of gameplay experances can become if played right. This would have become more apparant to the gaming world if there was co-op with custimizable features included. Nevertheless, it's still there. The reason i point this out is because my feelings toward the game was mostly like yours. but since i have been broke and couldn't afford the new games the one true sandbox game that never stops surprising me is oblivion. No other RPG can truly capture this essence. I have played the heck out of games like Mass Effect and to all that can be done. But with oblivion you are the like the creator of the story. It is what you make it. And in a fast paced gaming world where we always look for the next best thing, a tresure chest like this is sadly over looked and under apprechated.

    [QUOTE=''SaintJimmmy'']no i dont because personally i think it did everything right but the combat itself i get so immersed to be disappointed[/QUOTE] The funny thing is is that we are both right. It can be really disaponting if you play it one tyope of way. My question is how have you played it? How would you have like to played it? Because I bet you could change it into something a alot more entertaing if you have an open mind. My first hundred hours was hack and slash and only buying heal potions. It was so dam boaring after while. I promise that there are som many ways to creat depth in the game play you would humbly change you mind about it's gamesplay.
    [QUOTE=''mike_03'']i liked mass effect better[/QUOTE] In what ways. The linear story line is better becasue of the citmatic feeling. however, after the smoke has settled oblivion stands the test of time. Because after you go through the nice story's lines and have been through the cut seens i have and i'm sure others have gotten reall acustmed with the X button to skip it all. Then after a few charater changes the game gets old fast. However, like i said, oblivion, it the right hands, can be molded into a master piece. I'll admit, its hard to reach that point and take a lot of time to realize it. Especialy when we are always moving from one game to another. I have a libary of 20 xbox 360 games and have sold about 15 others. And the only signal player game, after 500 to 600 hours later, i'm still getting surprized by the game when i try new things.
    I wouldnt say its the best of the generation but it was probably the best of that year.
    i think the combat is terrible so i would put it behind bioshock, mass effect, and gta4
    Trinitarian you need to except the fact that poeple's opinions differ from yours. If you think that Oblivion is the greatest game this generation then cool. But don't try to make everyone else feel like you.
    [QUOTE=''TheActionFigure'']Oblivion is a great game, but Mass Effect is soooo much better IMO. The story, narrative, and gameplay is everything I've ever wanted outta a game. Oblivion's level scaling made it feel kinda weak sometimes.[/QUOTE] Level scaling critism is overated. Because the smarter you become in this game and the more resoruces you draw upon, you can trample those higher level bad guys with an over whelming force which in turn provides more satifaction for defeating hardcore eneimes with so much power at your disposal. But the hinge of my argument is that oblivion has deapth unparalled. Whereas Mass Effect is fun a couple times around but then it has nothing to offer after that. Oblivion, has so many unknown possiblities to gamers.
    [QUOTE=''TheActionFigure'']Trinitarian you need to except the fact that poeple's opinions differ from yours. If you think that Oblivion is the greatest game this generation then cool. But don't try to make everyone else feel like you.[/QUOTE] i'm not, rather i wanted to get why people don't think that it is, whereas, i'm arguing it is objectivily is. I wanted to review people's points agaisnt the game and see if there is validlity. however, so far I have not heard creditable information that would indicate otherwise. Which points to the conclusion of my arguement, the issue revolves around the mindset of the gamer to make the game great. Which is its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. I thought it would make an interesting disscussion, therefore, i'm not arguing for the sake of argueing, i really like disscussing this issue. I'm not taking any persoanl offense that would be inmmature, rather, the topic to me is enteretaion. Sorry if you've felt otherwise
    [QUOTE=''nahmean187'']i think the combat is terrible so i would put it behind bioshock, mass effect, and gta4[/QUOTE] again, what was your combat prefence in the game? Just to jump right in the game the games you listed are better, but it takes several hours to reifne the combat to your taste. When you reach that point Oblivion is unparalled. Conseqently, it become more satisfing becausenot only is it more indepth but it is also something you helped creat and modify when you desire. You can custmize the gameplay endlessly so therefore it never gets old. Again, this reafferms my position that the weakness in oblivion revolves around the player to create something inovattive, which requires a ot of effort. So i think the thing i'm getting at is that some players don't want to create something in a game, they want it to be created already for them. Which is understandable, but, if one experanced the thrill in creating the gameplay in differnt ways that is possiable, then the genisness is found in oblivion that can't befound anywhere else
