Soooooo, I'll be playing those. Starting with X-men tonight!


What do you mean you got it "modded?" So you can play pirated games? What's involved in the process?

Well, I took the console to a guy, he took it up to his appartment, did something(flashed it with some kinda firmware) to the DVD-ROM drive, and now it plays burnt(copies) games. At $10 a pop! WIN!!

My roommate has that. He plays all the major games that come out and even gets them downloaded a week or two before they're actually out.

STILL playing COD4 (360) regularly. I'm about to pop in Drakes Fortune (PS3) and run through it on hard and may do the same with Marvel Ultimate Alliance (360).

For the most part however, I'm starting to get bored with my games can't wait till November though, BioShock 2, Modern Warfare 2,

^Hard on DF isn't too bad as long as you're not trying to accomplish any of the goals. I played it while trying to accomplish the more obscure goals (the ones you have to go out of your way to do; they were all I had left)...gave up on the goals and just played it. Beating hard unlocks crushing...crushing is insane.

Oh, Uncharged 2 also comes out in November. November is going to be huge this year.

Pretty much. Nice graphics, cool control, and good ambient music...It's a pretty chill game.

I can't look up IGN because of work filters but if you do a search on that site, they did a review and etc. You'll find some material...

More like the lack of Hondas. There are none whatsoever.

I've been playing it and really like it.

^ Crysis is indeed one of the most beautiful games on the market. Especially the "First Contact" level.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a very slow starter, in fact I had stopped playing it for over 3 months until I decided to pick it up again.

To answer your other questions, yep, it is a bit repetitive and really nothing but a button masher, but once you get into it its surprisingly fun if you can ignore the obvious holes and contradictions in the story line. The multitude of characters/costumes/abilities really save the game which is the main reason why I stuck with it. The visuals aren't bad either.

I didn't actually buy it, it had come free with my Elite console along with Forza 2. I didn't really like Forza so I decided to at least finish MUA since it was free anyway.

MUA2 is not on my list of purchases and I don't really like the "fusion" idea. But I may rent it just to try it out.

Me and Ken (is300eater) have been playing a lot of CODMW(Xbox).

We should get an Acurazine clan going to be strong in these months leading up to the release of MW2.

Add me.

The last couple days I have been playing Trine on the PC. It's a bit short but a very fun and well done platformer.
