There are a number of pretty good games.

If you like racing, PGR3 and Need for Speed are pretty good. COD2 is a definitely buy. I enjoyed Kameo. Reminds me of the old Nintendo platformers. I also really enjoyed Condemned.

I'd recommend downloading the demos (there are about 10 out there now) and playing each game to see which is the most interesting to you. It's a great way to try the game before spending $50-$60.

That is a good idea....cept I'd have to spend $50 bucks to reactivate my Live acct...which I will do, but I dont think right now.

COD2 and Kameo should be enough to get me by for awhile. Perhaps I'll rent NFS at some point.

Those are the only games that interest me at the moment.

Kameo is turning out to be pretty cool...Very visual...sometimes too much so.

Acutally, I lied. I'm interested in Condemned as well...but as a rental. I don't want to buy it since the reviews say its so short.

This new systems might actually have to make me start putting pennies away to go HDTV....damnit....always something.

I better get a ton of freelance work this year.......

But if when you open the ipod, and the songs are showing red in the dashboard, then you do need the firmware like it was posted here..

Good luck.
All i want now is a FREE copy to upgrade my pc to Windows Media Center PC. I tried lime.. but no luck. anyone? pm? pleeease!!!!?

PM ME, ILL HOOK IT UP!

You can sign up for an Xbox Live Silver account. It is free and you can download games, movies, demo's, etc...

Condemned it a great game. Very very scary and atmospheric (is that even a word??)

It isn't nearly as short as some have made it out to be. If you play it like it was made to be played - take your time, slowly go through each level, search for the hidden artifacts, it takes ~14 hours to complete.

It's probably not worth the $60, but at least a definite rental or buy it used.

The Demo is available online as well. It's one of the better demo's, and well worth checking out. As I mentioned before, you do not need to sign up for Live Gold (the regular Xbox Live account) to download demo's and all other features like Xbox Live Arcade games.

I have a gamertag I created online with xbox months ago.

It with not migrate it over. I keep getting errors. It wont let me make new one....I keep following microsucks instructions step by step and it just gets me no where.

I'm just going to have to wait to call support tomorrow and make them delete the gamertag so I can start new...or whatever. Because they wont allow multiple names to one hotmail account...and of course you HAVE to have a hotmail (or other passport) account to be a member.

This is where MS sucks my cock, and can fuck themselves silly in hell for all I care.

Strange, maybe becuase you had yours canceled. Because i transfered mine with no problems on the 360 itself.


I donwloaded PGR3 and i am glad i didnt buy it. Not my kind of racing. I did buy NFS:most wanted. Got me an RX8 and Porch Cayman both just about 1 or 2 upgrades from being as fast as they can. Ohh , I just won me a pink slip from a chick with a clk55 or something. it has a dragon with flowers on teh sides. lol. I've done so much upgrading that i got 7k in my pocket. hahahahah.

Microsoft fucking sucks.

When I signed up online...it reconized my info from my canceled account and linked it.

Then, as I was trying to get it to work last night...I linked my xbox360 to the account via SN#

I called and the guy said since its linked there is nothing they can do,and if I want to use that gamertag WITH my hotmail account I have to pay and have a gold membership....BULLSHIT.

So, they said if I want a silver account I have to make a NEW hotmail account (which I really fucking hate) and do it that way.

Go suck a shit encrusted pole microsoft.
