Finally got the genocidist achievement in Left 4 Dead. Now I can put that game away until they add the new maps. Gonna work on Halo Wars next!
Is that L4D map comment something official or just hoping or did I miss something?
Just curious cos i've said to some pals that this game doesn't need a sequel, just downloadable content/new maps.
I finally opened up Alonguin on GTA4. This place is HUUUUUUUGE. I was going to explore the city a bit after the "call and collect" mission, but I went out with Brucie and crashed his boat. hahah I hadn't saved, so i'll just go back and do it again and explore for a bit. I'm pretty excited about it! :)

He pukes every :30 like on the dot if he has a clear shot at you.
Last night I did it for about a half hour - which got really tedious and boring as **** - and I think I killed nearly 500 zombies.
Another really good way I get huge killings is by doing the Town board on the Death Toll campaign and just come out of the safe house with the sniper rifle and just mow 'em down.
I had 355 kills on just the Town level and 250-something were headshots.

so my system randomly shot off today during GTA4. I don't know what happened, but i'm thinking maybe the power supply had a lose chord or something. It did shock the bajesus out of me though.
and i can definitely do L4D but during next week. Always down for zombie carnage! :)

I was busy with Fable II and now with Oblivion, but I really enjoy Ultimate Alliance. I found a copy of the original Gears of War in a clearance bin at Target, but I'm pretty bad.

So I bought a GH: WT guitar bundle at CC yesterday on clearance for $50 so I'd have 2 guitars. Well the guitar is totally F-ed up so I'm going to have to send it to Activision for a warranty replacement. So much for that bright idea of getting a back up guitar for cheap (and selling the game on ebay).

Not as bad as the originals. They have better cooling, and are better held onto the motherboard (which is the reason for RROD most of the time).
I did have the DVD drive chop out on my a little on my first Elite, but that was fixed within a week. It had trouble reading discs from time to time.

If it's something you're going to sit down in one long session and play, don't bother with it as it's a very repetitive game. But if you only plan on playing 1 or 2 night a week then it may hold your interest longer.

You can get it pretty cheap now so it might be worth a buy at 10-15 bucks, but I wouldn't pay any more for it. At first glance, the game is amazingly beautiful, unique, and extremely fun.....but you then repeat the same 3 tasks for the entirety of the game and by the end the game becomes a chore to complete.

I actually got red mist and Cr0wnd today, JD.
Cr0wnd actually came as an absolute shock.
It was on the Death Toll campaign and she was sitting directly to the right of the ladder I had to climb up and I panicked.
I climbed up the damn ladder and there she was, surprising the hell out of me.
I whispered "Oh ****!!" and let off 2 rounds. The first round missed and the second dropped the *****.
Funny thing was, I kept walking and forgot about Cr0wnd and maybe like 5 seconds after, the achievement finally popped up.
Red mist pissed me off, though. For some odd reason, only 2 horde waves came and left me sitting at 994/1000, so I just did the rooftop finale again real fast and got the 6 kills I needed.
I'm also 1 shy of getting Pharm-assist and 6 shy of getting Field Medic.

Its kind of the whole is boosting achievements legitimate or not argument. Some people say no, others dont care.

I guess I fall in the don't care category. I like the whole achievement system because it gives me extra in game goals which "stretches" gameplay. But I damn skippy don't care enough to play kids games or try and kill 2 zillion people to get the seriously achievement in Gears.

There is a way to do it. If you see anyone with NHL2k games that has 1000 in their score, they hack the games to get the score. There was a glitched achievement in 2k7 and 2k8 for sure that only let you get like 975 or 980. Most of the people on the top of the achievement score charts are all game savers or whatever is done to do it.

No one has answered my question to the thread I posted up so I will post it here too. Anyway I downloaded the add on content "Lost and Damned" game, played it for about 20 minutes then turned off my xbox without saving any completed missions. I played a little bit of the regular GTA IV game to get more of the story down before I played the new episode. Now I want to play Lost and Damned again but I dont know how to do it. I tried everything. Anyone please help me with this bullsheet!

Sweet, I can post in here now.
Through a program at my work, I earn points for selling certain tires. I finally saved enough points to get an Xbox 360 package with a 2nd controller and two games. I ordered it last week and just got it in. I thought the two games were just going to be the Lego Indy and Kung Fu Panda, turns out it's those two plus Lego Star Wars: CS and Sonic. I'm a big fan of the Lego games, so that works out. And not too bad for free. :D

Should I take my old ass xbox and games into gamestop and trade it in? or try and sell the sucker on craigs... im sure i will get more on craigs... but i kinda need to unload it within a week or so and figured atleast i could trade it all in for a new game possibly ?

YAY! Good for you for discovering what I think will prove to be the best 360 RPG ever produced (unless there is a sequel). Seriously, I NEVER play RPGs and I'm hooked on this game. It's the best game I have ever played, hands down. The first game in MANY years that I can sit down and start playing and before I know it, like 3-4 hours have gone by. Second in my heart only to Toe Jam and Earl.

Mercs 2 is a fun game if you can get past the glitches.
Army of Two sucks if you don't have somebody to play co-op with.

Same here. Played through the game twice with a buddy (got it specifically for co-op, never even touched it in single player). Such a good game when you're equally skilled and really tuned into each other.
Also if anyone's up for some Street Fighter 4.... I'll kick your ass.

This is the one that I have - I my 360, PS3, and Apple TV hooked into it - I have to switch out optical cords when I want to watch Apple TV, but that's not an issue. It works with Harmony remotes, too.
About 3-4 months my mom was at Tuesday Morning - she called me and asked if it was any good, so I looked it up online, liked what I read, then went and bought it. It won't blow your mind, but it's definitely worth the money if you can find it under $200, which should be no problem.

What is Boxee? A friend told me Hulu will work with Apple TV, but I haven't tried it yet.
Not knowing what Boxee is, I would go with Apple TV. You don't have to store everything on Apple TV - it can stream from your computer via wi-fi or ethernet. Plus you can buy/rent (in HD & standard) movies directly from Apple TV, as well as store & stream photos, music, & video.
I got the "small" 40GB Apple TV from my wife for Christmas, and I love it.

Race Pro- Career race at Macau with the F3000s is controller throwing difficult. That course is evil. Such a love/hate with it, if you get into "zen" mode, it's great, if not, you're pinballing off walls and your car is trashed.
Found out you can blow your engine too. You're completely dead in the water after that happens, can't even limp back to the pit to get it fixed/changed.

Are there any racers that have similar physics to motorstorm?

Thanks, I'm still debating whether or not it's worth it for me. I don't play online much, nor do I see myself doing so in the future. So I go online for demos, updates, etc... only. Right now I have to run a damn 25-foot ethernet cable across my house, but if I'm only doing it once a week or less, I guess I can manage.

You have to be finished with the main story through "The Waters of Life" quest. Then when you walk around Vault 101 you should get a distress signal from it. Then just go in and take care of what needs to be done.

Ebay search for MN-740 (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37.l1313&satitle=mn-740&category0=)will pull up the old original Xbox wireless bridge. They're relatively cheap and they work well, as an added bonus they can be positioned for the best reception. It's straight plug and play, the 360 will automatically detect it. You do not need the driver disc.

I believe I was in Megaton when I got that broadcast. Check your Pip-Boy and see if maybe you got it and didn't notice? I was checking out the Fallout Wiki (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki) (beware Spoilers) and it is possible to glitch your self out of being able to receive the broadcast if you are loading your game a lot (?) you'll have to mess around with it I guess.

Hey speaking of racing games, what are the top ones on the system? I saw Wal-Mart had PGR4 for $10 and was thinking of going back to pick it up when I got off work.
Are there any racers that have similar physics to motorstorm?
PGR4 for 10 bucks is a steal. Great game. The handling is nicely between arcade and sim. Really nice in car views, it's got a lot of tracks, good range of cars and bikes, and the weather is excellent. That'll be implented in future racing sims. I still play quite a bit of PGR4. Nothing like racing an old beemer E30 in the pouring rain on the Ring.
Have you tried Dirt? That's a lot of fun as well. A bit more arcade handling than sim, but the in car views and damage modeling are really well done.
Grid is a great racer as well. More arcade, with Japanese drift events, muscle cars, demo derbys, and European touring car and LeMans racing. It's got the 24 hour of LeMans race and the full 2006 LeMans season with 3/4 of the licensed cars and drivers. Handles similar to Dirt (Codemasters did both), and the damage modeling is insane. Also has great in car views. Fun to race the Prototypes, first next gen game to have LMP1, 2 Courages, Lolas, Creations, and F3000s.
I haven't played much Motorstorm, so I wouldn't be a good judge, but these 3 are some of my favorite racers.
Forza 2, MotoGP, and Race Pro are the others, but those are pure sims.
JaylisJayP
03-12-2009, 11:26 AM
I have tried the Grid and Dirt demos since they're on the PS3, also. I'm really up and down with racing games. I played project gotham and need for speed back on the original xbox and liked them. Since Motorstorm, and then Motorstorm 2 came out, though, they've basically ruined me on any other racing game. But I did go back and pick up PGR4 at Wal-Mart and hope to put that in tonight.
Also, Prime, just fyi I'm weakening on the wireless adapter - and xbox live gold - since Best Buy has that sale and I have a $5 reward zone coupon, I can at least get the thing new for 25% off.

Really, playing a public match, it always starts over at one, and when we'd fail a level, it'd completely go back to the menu, which, imo, is stupid. Am I not selecting the right settings or what?

Not familiar with ANY of them except Left 4 Dead.
I absolutely LOVE this game. I mean, yeah they can get a bit repetitive but the replay value is just so good.
Nothing in this game is exactly the same as the last time you played it and I love that.
There are guys on this thread who have already got the Zombie Genocidist achievement which is over 53,000 zombie kills.
To kill that many zombies and keep playing the game time after time, it's proof that the replay value is high.

Rumor Mill: Xbox 360 Elite Might Disappear
It will become a limited-edition model (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Rumor-Mill-Xbox-360-Elite-Might-Disappear-106535.shtml)
But according to Fudzilla, hardcore gamers will soon be left without the Elite model of the North American console, as Microsoft will slowly but surely retire the version in the following weeks. This doesn't mean that it will disappear, as sources close to the company say that it will be a part of high-end bundles, similar to the current Resident Evil 5 one, which sports a red Elite model together with a copy of Capcom's latest survival shooter game.
I just bought another black controller just in case:cool:
