I finally jumped in :D

[Beezy]

Today I got a 360 Pro, Call of Duty 4, Lost Planet, and Crackdown. Hopefully it doesn't RROD right out of the box.

Edit: Wrong forum, move please.

[demi]

now jump out into the gaming thread instead - punk

[Smooth Groove]

Did you get the package w/Forza and Marvel:UA? 

[MrAngryFace]

Grats dude, this is a gaming forum kinda post tho :p

[MCD]

WELCOME TO THE GAMING SOCIAL

[Beezy]

Did you get the package w/Forza and Marvel:UA? 

I bought one on at Kmart yesterday that didn't have those packed in yesterday. I returned it today and then went straight to FYE. Got it with the games packed in plus they gave me a $30 mail in rebate for I don't know what.

[Smooth Groove]

M:UA is good if you just want to have some dumb fun.  Forza 2 is AAA but I don't really dig realistic racing games.  The selection of cars is great though. 

[MCD]

Be sure to update your firmware for blazing dashboard speed + divx!

[Vizzys]

good choice, 360 is great

get xbox live gold

[Beezy]

Shit, I'm gonna have to buy a long ass ethernet cable to get online. My TV is across the room from my PC/modem/ethernet jack.

[MCD]

Do you have a laptop?

you can share a connection with that (ethernet between the two)

don't know exact details though

or you can try to find 360 wireless adapter for cheap/used somewhere like ebay

[Beezy]

Nope, no laptop yet. Ah well. I'm not gonna worry about getting online until I'm done with finals.

[CajoleJuice]

[Himu]

beezy when you get connected lets play crackdown

[CajoleJuice]

And we can play COD4

[Beezy]

No doubt! I just finished the prologue in CoD4!

Now I'm gonna go buy some food and then come back to see how sexy Forza 2 looks on my TV!

[Himu]

forza owns beezy. i hate all sim racers, but forza is fun

[Smooth Groove]

Beezy, COD4 was only $39.99 at Circuit City today.  Get a price match if you paid more than that.

That's okay. I've never heard of any stores in my area doing the price match thing anyway.

...why hasn't this thread been moved yet?

[MrAngryFace]

Moving it now LOL

[TVC15]

I like MUA a lot, but don't use it as any graphical benchmark :p  That wa sa holiday release from last year, and it decidedly lacks some polish.  I had a lot of fun with that game, though.  I still throw it in sometimes.

[MrAngryFace]

GRAW 2 is another beautiful game

[Beezy]

Forza's actually not bad. And like Himuro, I hate sim racers.

[MrAngryFace]

I dunno I always thought car games have kinda hit a ceiling in terms of visuals. Dirt looks pretty awesome, but Forza 2 looks too clean and for that reason I prefer PGR4

[Beezy]

*shrugs* I'm just happy that I'll be able to buy Burnout Paradise the day it comes out. It's the only racing game that really matters.

[The Sceneman]

yay beezy

[CajoleJuice]

[Himu]

BURNOUT!!!

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Alright.  Now all you gotta do is return Lost Planet and exchange it for Dead Rising.

[Beezy]

Lol yeah right. I do want Dead Rising though. How much does it cost now?

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I believe it's in the 360's "greatest hits" collection (or whatever the hell it's called) so that'd run you around 30 bucks new but I'm sure you could pick it up cheaper than that used.

Oh yeah, get EDF 2017.

[brawndolicious]

LP is pretty damn fun actually.  I think dead rising is pretty cheap these days.

[Smooth Groove]

Lost Planet has some pretty graphics but Dead Rising should be one of the top 360 games on anybody's list.  

[demi]

get condemned you stupid house nicca

[Smooth Groove]

Yeah, get Condemned too.  The atmosphere is fuck awesome.

[brawndolicious]

well don't "get" condemned.  just rent it.  it's only 8 hours or so but it's fucking awesome.

[Beezy]

I actually saw EDF, but I wasn't sure if I should get it. Stfu demi. I wasn't even looking for Condemned. What kind of game is it?

[demi]

well don't "get" condemned.  just rent it.  it's only 8 hours or so but it's fucking awesome.

it's like $10 now, you filthy poor, go bomb a mosque or something

[demi]

I actually saw EDF, but I wasn't sure if I should get it. Stfu demi. I wasn't even looking for Condemned. What kind of game is it?

first person game, creepy shit, great use of lighting and sound, play it in the dark

[Beezy]

it's like $10 now

sold

[brawndolicious]

it's like $10 now, you filthy poor, go bomb a mosque or something

I wouldn't pay $10 for it.  it's even missing 30 achievement points.

edf is the best 360 co-op game.  I bought it at $40 (full price) and have since then put about 80 hours into it.  it's just pure awesome.

and condemend is a survival horror game in first person where you can get into fights with hobos using planks and lead pipes or whatever you find in the environment around you.  it's fucking awesome melee combat.  and there are guns (you're a cop) but they're really limited so it's really tense.

[SpudBud]

Dead Rising and Condemned are both great games and you should pick them up.

You should also pick up the last game in the epic Halo trilogy, Halo 3™.

EDF is fucking nuts.  It's a decidedly 'B' grade game but I mean that in the best possible way.  It's just you and the rest of the EDF army battling colossal robots and swarms of giant ants in Japan while you level your character up and collect a ton of weapons. The amount of stuff the game throws at you and the scale of your character running around fighting these absolutely massive enemies is really something to see.  I swear there isn't a game out there that's more chaotic than the last several levels in EDF.  And the best thing is that the game can be had for cheap.

Must try to appreciate.

[Himu]

dead rising = best 360 game

[Vizzys]

another vote for EDF
its very fun, destructible environments, fun weapons, cheap.

id buy it for 20$ or less

Ive rented it but its far too long to beat in one sitting

[demi]

get viva pinata party animals too, it has me and tvc and robby in the credits

[Himu]

so Party Animals is better than the first VP? I've wanted VP but if the sequel is better I'll just get that.

[demi]

its not like viva pinata

[MCD]

get condemned you stupid house nicca

demi 

[brawndolicious]

so Party Animals is better than the first VP? I've wanted VP but if the sequel is better I'll just get that.

it's totally different.  the first one you basically raise the animals and take care of their habitat and micromanage some things and then breed them while trying to keep the "food chain" under control.  it's a lot more addictive and charming than it sounds.  in the second one, it's basically like a party game (sort of like mario party with pinatas) and you do mini-games and races or something and whoever has the most points at the end of a "round" wins (like mario party).  there's demos of both I think and party animals is actually pretty fun but I think you'd like the first one more.

[calcifer]

good man.

[Beezy]

I'll get Dead Rising, EDF, and Condemned eventually since they're cheap enough...

get viva pinata party animals too, it has me and tvc and robby in the credits

...but not this.

[Beezy]

What's an OMG looking single player 360 game that came out recently? Mass Effect and Blue Dragon? Anything else? If not, then which one of those two should I get? I wanna buy one more full priced game that's not an FPS.

[Himu]

Not even Orange Box?

A good full priced single player game? I'd say Mass Effect but you may like Blue Dragon since I know that you, like me, like jappa rpgs.

[Beezy]

Not even Orange Box?

No. No other FPS games else until I'm done with CoD4. Plus I don't think Orange Box meets my great looking game criteria. I will get it eventually though for Portal.

A good full priced single player game? I'd say Mass Effect but you may like Blue Dragon since I know that you, like me, like jappa rpgs.

That's true.

[Himu]

It's a tough decision. On one hand, Blue Dragon is the best high budget jrpg in years. On the other hand, Mass Effect is a really good game that feels like the next step for cinematic rpgs..argh.

[calcifer]

get naruto. most unappreciated and underrated game this year, i think.

[demi]

Gears of War

[demi]

Beowulf achievements arent exactly easy, dont waste a 20 on it

[Beezy]

So like, I bought Blue Dragon. I think I made the right choice.

Gears of War

My friend owns Gears of War and Halo 3. I'm not buying them.

BeoWulf. It's $20 on gamestop.com but not in stores. Meaning after you get the easy as balls achievements you can trade it for more then you spent. Gotta be quick about it though.

I'm not demi. Don't recommend me shitty games just for achievements.
