Who thinks the radio in gta4 isn't as go ...

Do think it is better or do you have a favorite channel? I like the talk radio stations the most because they are hysterical, but I don't like the music as much on most stations. I guess the Tuff Gong station is the best, you can't go wrong with Marley.Who thinks the radio in gta4 isn't as go ...
Aye, but I don't listen to music in the game so it is not a big deal. You can always play music through your stereo, mp3 player, or your 360's harddrive if you don't like the radio.Who thinks the radio in gta4 isn't as go ...
True but I like to try and give the music a chance to broaden my music preference. It also adds a certain feel to the game. I am just surprised to hear that you don't listen to it at all. I was also hoping that Rockstar would have made the HDD music or streaming music as an extra radio station, like the older installments.
I'm too used to San Andreas on the PC where you can make custom radio stations so I don't really care for the music in GTA IV. I sometimes listen to The Beat, Vibe, and Tuff Gong when I'm just cruising around and relaxing, but most of the time I just turn the radio off.
I was expecting the song lists to be as good as GTA: VC and SA, but it just wasn't there.
It's not bad. I enjoy LCHC, and Integrity. Not even close to as good as Vice City's radio though.
Agreedthe other games had much better (espically VC the only time i really truely cared for the radio in GTA)
[QUOTE=''SaintJimmmy''] Agreedthe other games had much better (espically VC the only time i really truely cared for the radio in GTA)[/QUOTE] Yeah, the radio in VC made you feel more immersed in the game.
the commercials and the talkshows are the funniest.
I really like the classic rock station, radio broker, and some songs on the russian channel.
I thought I was the only one! The only song I like is Top Down by Swizz Beatz. Pretty much everything else is boring to me.
Too much rap, no underground music like industrial or something,
but, I like the russian radio station.

There are good songs but there are too many bad songs... Vice City FTW.
I like Driving around at night listening to Goodbye Horses by Q-Lazzarus I mostly listen to the classic rock station some of the other stations are alright but i also like just listening to songs on my Ipod. There's nothing like Blowing up a bunch of Cars and shooting people wile your listening to ''Don't Worry, Be Happy'' By Bob Marley. 8)
vice city stations were the best.
definitely not as memorable as previous games.
To be honest, I like the stations! (except the jazz one!)
I like the stations except for Fusion (jazz), IF99 (funk) and K109 (disco).



San Juan Sounds and Vladivostok have some great songs I've never heard before (especially the two songs by Seryoga on Vladivostok).
I guess I can't really comment because I haven't played the other as much because I've always had an xbox, but I like the stations alot. They may not be as good as they use to but if not those other games had some awesome stations then. This one has music for everybody, but the hiphop stations r really good. U really feel like you're in a real place called Liberty City when the callers call in from the different bouroughs and the dj gives a shutout to different bouroughs! It's like listening to a real station, although you have to switch it up often because it seems to be on a very short loop. ''Broker Stand Up''
New stations are not any good IMO.

Yeah, that list was more so a wish list of sorts....too bad....there were quite a few points on that list that should be implemented by Microsoft.

Please hep with an Arcade game!

Ok so it sseems as though this has been a vicious circle; I had 400 ms points spare from my recent batch of 2100 and i didn't know what to get. Do i downloaded a trial of Small Arms, liked it, and downloaded the full version. After awhile, there was no message saying i downloaded it. Then i checked active downloads and said i had none on. Weird, i thought. So i went to games, and didn't see it, only the trial. Then i click Unlock full game and it said i downloaded the trial and full game already, but in game, i only get the features of the demo. Please help!Please hep with an Arcade game!
Download it again. Go to the recent downloads and redownload it.Please hep with an Arcade game!

  • New European Xbox 360 bundle using out-d ...

    There's a [url=http://news.spong.com/article/15425/Rumour_Some_European_Xbox_360_Bundles_are_Re-Cons?cb=452]rather unsettling rumor[/url] floating around the 'netwaves today concerning 'new' European Xbox 360 bundles that may be old refurbished consoles with outdated parts. The Web site Logic-Sunrise claims that the new European bundle deal consisting of two games and two wireless controllers could contain hardware that predates the Falcon motherboard, meaning they are more likely to suffer the ''red rings of death.'' The site says it has found Hitachi 47 DVD drives in the machines, as well as after-sales white labels in place of the common silver labels. One customer also reports his newly purchased 360 lacked the HDMI port, and even had pencil marks and blood stains on it. This is just a rumor until anything more concrete arises, but it's not like Microsoft has a proven track record of care and efficiency when it comes to electronic hardware. Considering the entire reason there are so many refurb units is because The 'Soft cuts corners and damns the consequences is enough to make this rather believable. It could also be a case of retailers switching out consoles themselves, like the shady wankers they are. So far, MS has not commented on the issue, but I'd check your 360 for spunk marks if you decide to buy one soon.New European Xbox 360 bundle using out-d ...

It's against the law. However if you send your Xbox in for repair Microsoft is allowed to use refurbished parts for repair according to the warranty disclaimer.

    cracked GTA 4 disc

    Has anybody had their disc crack because of the case?cracked GTA 4 disc
    While removing it?cracked GTA 4 disc
    yeah
    Not that I've noticed. The only game I've had that happen with is Disgaea 2, those PS2 cases and that center ring cracked it on both sides. I also rented the OB from Gamefly and one side had about a quarter inch crack in it but it still played luckily.If I were you I'd take it back to the store and replace it asap because that crack will just get bigger and bigger until it wont play anymore.
    never happened to any of my games, but i have heard that putting toothpaste on a disc fixes it. don't quote me on this because i don't know if it actualy works.

    When you pull a disc out of a case, do you just grab it from the edges and pull or do you actually press the little button in the center of the case to release the disc?

    Xbox 540

    So apparently they are bringing out the Xbox 540 next year. A slimmer version of the 360 and possibly with a blue-ray drive in it. Sorry if this has been mentioned already.Xbox 540
    I hope this is not true. I mean the system already has many problems, that would just be worse if there was even less room in there. I don't think they are going to be using Blue ray either.Xbox 540
    Well I don't want to see it either after buying the 360 recently. THey should wait a few more years.
    That sounds too ridiculous to be true... a blue ray add on would make more sense.
    the blu ray is more likely to happen but with an add on component like the hd hdvd player
    [QUOTE=''JKoBnZ'']Well I don't want to see it either after buying the 360 recently. THey should wait a few more years.[/QUOTE]My point is that if they made a slimmer 360, it would have more problems as there would be less room for ventilation and is not a good idea. I don't care that I already have one. I would not want it. In a few more years we will have a new generation of gaming consoles. Until then I am good with my big 360.
    Guys dont even discuss this stupid thread, microsoft would lose a fortune if they did this.Find a reliable source and we'll than talk.
    This is total nonsense. This won't happen, first there will never be a blu-ray add on and second they won't be releasing a slimmer version. They are focusing on smaller chips in existing consoles. Please quote me on that.
    And just another side note, if Microsoft did do a xbox 540, they would be declaring defeat in the war.
    So apparently everybody realized TC was trying too hard to be funny.
    It's retarded when people post stuff that are just rumors and act like its been comfirmed. TC probably seen it posted by some other user on another site and got so excited he couldn't wait to come post it here. tool

    Pariah for XBOX

    Hey, everyone. I've been thinking about getting Pariah. It's for the regular XBOX. The reason I want to get this is because I don't have much money on me right now and just want a game I could play with my friends. Can you vs. and do co-op in Pariah? I checked game details, but it said that for Ghost REcon Advanced Warfighter for 360 and it doesn't even have co-op. I dont have live. It says you can do it offline, too though.AND again I need to know if this has co-op and vsing offline. I would really appreciate it if you could help. Thanks.Pariah for XBOX
    yeh sure if u like it cus its a crap gamePariah for XBOX
    Oh, well, thanks. I'm going to try it though.
    Funny, I almost bought that game back in the day. I wouldnt mind knowing if it was any good or not.
    Hah, It's just really cheap for a brand new one [if you buy it online]. I need something to play with my friends and by myself til i get some more money lol. I read like all the reviews for it. It was either they were really high or really low.
    That was a horrible game, don't even waste your time.
    what was so bad about it? i can deal with dorky gun sounds.
    Regardless of the game's quality (or lack thereof), this is the 360 board, not the Legacy Platforms board.

  • A 360 a good idea?

    Hello, i've been recently taking interest in the Xbox 360. I just tried Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War at my friends house, let me say i had a hella fun online.However, i am worried about the reliablity of a 360. I don't want mine to break a while after i get it. I had never had an Xbox and i love Nintendo because of their reliable systems. I also don't want to spend so much after i get it, the games are already 60 bucks unless i get them used. I really want Xbox live though. I hope this is easier than i think. Give me some tips please. A 360 a good idea?
    I just bought mine, had the same concerns. The newer ones have better hardware, are less likely to run into problems. MS has a 1 year general warranty, and a 3 year warranty on the Red Ring of Death, the major hardware issues. I also spent $60 at Best Buy for their 2 year replacement plan -- if my 360 malfunctions in any way, I take it back, and walk out of the store that day with a brand new 360. Well worth the peace of mind.I'd say -- go for it!!!! A 360 a good idea?
    I own all three current-gen systems and I have the most fun with the Xbox 360. Get one.
    Of course things turn out differently for different people, but I've had mine since last September and haven't had a single problem, and has been mentioned Microsoft does have that warrenty. I'd say go for it based on the 360's huge library, and if you don't mind used games there's a great selection of excellant games for little $.
    i second that -- I just picked up 4 cool used games for a little over $40.

    Modded Controlers?

    i play COD4 and i seem to be running into people with modded controlers more and more, i hate it when i rune into a person with a modded controler because i feel its noob and very very cheap, just wondering what everyone elses thought were on this matter for people who dont know what a modded controler is it just makes a single shot gun into an auto Modded Controlers?
    they're probably just the cheap junk controllers you get from game stores with a ''turbo'' button. but yeah, I have noticed people shooting 3 round bursts from M14s. Modded Controlers?
    i think their cool, but i havn't bought one couple years now. they r fun sometimes but the ones i get seem to break a lot of times.
    It's alright man, if you can't kill them with their ''modded'' controllers then you just have to get better at the game... I can seriously tell you that, in my eyes, it's not much of an advantage because I bet you would run out of ammo so fast it wouldn't even be worth it. (And no, I don't have one of them so please don't assume I do... I am just stating my opinion)
    i dont have a problem killing them i just think its cheap and very noobish
    [QUOTE=''harblock'']i dont have a problem killing them i just think its cheap and very noobish[/QUOTE]You don't have a problem with it, but your gonna whine and complain about it anyway. I have a real problem with the word 'cheap'. Coming from a background of playing competitive fighters I guess that would be expected of me. If it's cheating, it's cheating. If it's not cheating, suck it up and deal with it.Turbo controllers are not cheating, not that I would ever bother to use one. Besides, there are just as many disadvantages to using one as their is advantages. Also, why this sudden boom in mystery 'modded' controllers? How do you know people aren't just firing quicker than you?
    because you watch the kill cam and they g3 doesnt shoot that fast since it is only a semi-auto, have you ever played the game, if so you would understand
    [QUOTE=''harblock'']because you watch the kill cam and they g3 doesnt shoot that fast since it is only a semi-auto, have you ever played the game, if so you would understand [/QUOTE]Uhh, yeah I have played the game. It wasn't an accusation it was a geniune question.If that's the case, and you cannot perform that with a regular controller, then it is in fact cheating, report them and move on.

    Call of Duty 4 and GRID question(s)

    Hey allI am thinking of getting some new xbox 360 games and wanderd what you thought of:Call of Duty 4GRIDAnd maybe something else?I am into FPS, Sports, and Racing games. I have bought some dud games and want to avoid this in the future. Are there any other games that would fit this bill? I like Bioshock, GRAW, Forza 2, PGR 3, Gears of War, and Halo 3 as well as COD2.CheersCall of Duty 4 and GRID question(s)
    defo get forza 2 and gears of war although you might as well wait for 2Call of Duty 4 and GRID question(s)
    The demo for GRID is available on XBL and to download for PC off Gamespot if you want to give it a try first. I've got it on pre-order but I found the demo to be a bit different to what I was expecting, and I'm half tempted to cancel it, but half tempted to wait and try it out properly. CoD4 is good, but the single player is very short, it's more widely acclaimed for it's great multiplayer, if you're in to that.
    Definately get CoD4 if your going to play it online otherwise the single player campain will be short lived, in this case i would reccomend just renting it. Grid (going from the demo) looks amazing alot of fun to play online also so i have high expectations for this game. As for any other games GTAIV would be an obvious one, maybe mass effect, rainbow six vegas 1 %26 2
    Cool, I may see about Rainbow 6. Mass Effect I am unsure of as I have got Oblivion, Blue Dragon, and Two Worlds and none of them I have gotten into (I have started to get into Blue Dragon but its taken its time to get there). I have tried the demo thanks Zoe for the GRID game and quite enjoyed it but I am the same as you in that it wasnt what I was expecting (I was hoping for next gen TOCA) but its still good when you get into it. Online is quite good as well.COD4 would mainly be for live play as COD2 was for that for me, I like the campaign but I play more online on games like that.I am 50/50 with GTA 4, many like it but I am unsure whether I will get it to be honest, I know many of my friends have it and enjoy it but I found I didnt like San Andreas which puts me off getting the games again.
    Since you like PGR3, then you'll almost certainly like PGR4. I also really enjoyed Test Drive Unlimited and DiRT if your looking for more racing games.I got GTAIV and to be honest I'm not loving it, and seriously thinking about trading it in for GRID. I tried the GRID demo and am really looking forward to it. The drifting will take some getting used to, and it is turning away from pure TOCA racing of the previous games, but there is a good selection of licenced cars and tracks which should make it a lot of fun.GTA was fun to play through the story, but I can't see myself wanting to replay it. Once you've done all the missions there isn't really much left to do. The online side is fun, and having choppers is awesome, but the rest of it feels like a collection of ideas that other games just do better. The car handling is awful for everything apart from a small number of vehicles, making racing competitively a painful chore rather than fun. If I wanted to play deathmatch or team deathmatch, then I would play an fps instead like COD4.If you're 50/50 about GTA then I'd say wait until the price drops before trying it.COD4 is great fun, and while the single player campaign is a little short, the multiplayer is great. There are loads of people playing, and even though you may be late to start, the way the game puts players together, you aren't at any more of a disadvantage now than you would have been 3 months ago if you started then.
    Hmm some interesting points there. I may get GRID and COD4 then, maybe something else I am not sure. I have Test Drive but did not enjoy it as the rewards/punishments seem a bit harsh (I lost all my money when caught by the police for example and this makes the game really difficult to get good cars, and online is harsh as people have much better cars against you).PGR4 is something I may consider as well as it looks good and I like the cat and mouse option on PGR3 along with other game modes (team racing etc is a good laugh when with the right people who don't mess around).
    You have to get COD4 its a must, and i also recomend Forza 2 for a racing game.
    try the demo for gridbuy cod4 immediatley
    Cheers, I have Forza 2 already but its well worth the recomendation so thanks for the suggestion (I would recomend the game to racing fans). I quite enjoy the GRID demo but am open to suggestions for other games.
    Any other thoughts or recommendations? Is COD4 worth getting for sure and is GRID worth pre-ordering?
    Call of Duty 4 is one of the best games out there. You should definetely get into that.

    Well, if you are looking for a funny name, something along the lines of ''SOMEBODY'' (you may have to use numbers for vowels) that way when you snipe them it says they were killed by ''SOMEBODY'' ... or if you are thinking about something along the lines of plain sniping I've seen ELITE SNIPER alot... especially on COD4.

    HDMI long startup time, wtf?

    so i ordered an hdmi to dvi-d converter for my monitor off ebay. i had previously been using the microsoft vga cable and i wanted to see if the hdmi actually looked any better. i've noticed that yes, it looks slightly better, but the weird thing is that when using the HDMI cable, my 360 takes a lot longer to boot up. i turn it on and can hear it working, but the 360 logo doesn't come up for 20-30 seconds whereas it usually comes up immediately when using the vga cable. is it normal for the 360 to take longer to boot up when using the HDMI cable?

    why we bought a x-box360?

    topic^^ and plz don't say halo 3 that game got boring after a month or 2 and i no the online is a better that than ps3 but what exclusive game do we have to look forward to?? gears of war 2 and what elseps. i bought by xbox cause my ps2 got boringwhy we bought a x-box360?
    fable 2, ng2, bk3, alan wake, halo warzwhy we bought a x-box360?
    I bought mine for.......JRPG's! oh and GTA IV and RE 5.
    Gears 2 is enough for me.
    GTA IV, Gears, Gears2, and Fable 2.
    I waited until there was a game that I couldn't live without, and that game was . . . BIOSHOCK!!!!:D
    [QUOTE=''strokersmoker07'']fable 2, ng2, bk3, alan wake, halo warz[/QUOTE] halo wars forgot about that
    The games, Xbox Live, marketplace. I could list a ton of stuff, but I don't feel like it.
    I was stuck between a 360 and PS3. Got 360 because of xbox live mostly and the sheer fact that a lot of games are for both 360 and ps3 and for the ones that are exclusives, i like the ones for 360 more. Plus I prefer the 360 controller over playstation's anyday.
    Dead or Alive, seriously, then again this was in 2005, eventually other games caught my intrest like GeOW, Dead Rising etc. Now I await for Ninja Gaiden II, Alan Wake, Fable 2,GeOW 2, Fallout 3, UT III, and thats it for now :P

    i got one because devolpers stoped making games for the ps2. the price went to $350 and the warranty went to 3 years. my friends got one :) wii i didn't realy think it would fit me, i would barely play it (have a gamecube last game played was re4) ps3 was expensive.
    No seriously and honestly, I bough it for Halo 3 and only for Halo 3. No other game that appealed to me.
    i got it because i try to get every system so i don't miss out on anything.
    I decided I wanted to get a 'Next Gen' Console and the 360 was the better cheaper choice.
    It was basically an impulse buy, all I wanted was RSV and a PS3 on launch date and found out that it wasn't going to be released at that time so I got it on the 360 instead.
    Halo3 and it was the first nextgen system.
    I cant just choose one reason, and im sure people will agree with me.. I picked xbox 360 because... its Xbox 360 :DBest console ever, best games, best sellers, best stuff, best, best ,best SHUT UP AND KNOW YOUR ROLE YOU JABRONI
    yes i bought mine for Halo3. But also bought it because i love first person shooters. Oh and Forza Motorsport2, Gears Of War 1 and 2, Ace Combat 6, GTA4!!!
    I Got mine for Gears, Castlevaina SOTN, and RE 5.

    Your hardest instrument to master in Roc ...

    For me, its drums. I'd say I'm pretty good at everything but i struggle on drums a lot.Your hardest instrument to master in Roc ...
    Anyone who doesn't say drums is lyingYour hardest instrument to master in Roc ...
    I don't have that much trouble with drums, but that's probably because I'm on medium and working my way up, but I'm fine with them. For me it's vocals. Lol

    honestly it's vocals for me since I really just cant sing, well I can sing but it sounds horrible so I'm bad at it mainly cause it's embarrassing.and to me, drums is actually quite easy, but the only reason for that is cause I played violin in real life for over 10 years and my sense of beat is, not to be bragging, very good. (afterall, violin is the hardest instrument to play)
    Drums, my hands and feet just don't coordinate with each other.
    [QUOTE=''morpheusnj''] (afterall, violin is the hardest instrument to play) [/QUOTE]Hey, I played upright bass (or ''Bass violin'' as you wimpy violinists call it) back in my music school days, and it was WAY harder!!!! But I agree, everyone knows that drums are easy -- you just hit things!;-)~
    actually vocals are probably the hardest but thats because i play drums all the time and its always funny to hear ppl say wow u can play expert on drums lol

    Different people coordinate different movements differently. It's not clear cut like the ''Whats harder Halo 3 or CoD 2?'' discussion (CoD2 for anyone whos wondering. By a mile)Some people can naturally coordinate their hands and feet better than others, and will not find drums as hard, while others might have more difficulty moving their fingers for the guitar. Others, like me, just cannot sing.I've not played the game yet as it's not out here until friday, but I suspect I will find drums and vocals equally impossible.
    I'd say vocals for sure! The guitar parts aren't too difficult (and a heck of a lot more fun than that button mashing that GHIII turned into) and with some practice the drums are the most fun part of the game for me. But I have absolutely zero vocal talent so for the most part it's best that I don't access that part of the game in mixed company. ;)
    Yeah, I definetly have to say vocals 'cause I can't sing to save my life, got good at guitar in GH 2 %26 3, and play drums in RL so that came naturally for me playing my hands and kick pedal at different or same times.

    Does Anyone call you a Nolife

    I was just wondering... I play my 360 quite regularly and my friends call me a nolife all the time. I mean I'm socail and what not... Does anyone have the same problemDoes Anyone call you a Nolife
    They call you a ''nolife'', exactly like that? Seriously? They say ''You nolife! You are nolifes!''...Are you in a ''special'' class?Does Anyone call you a Nolife
    i've also been told that before, just because i know a lot of stuff about videogames,movies,and music, i mean it's not like i don't talk to people, i do have friends
    Nope never get cussed at i know plenty of people that play games. Even the ''cool'' people play games guess it's just different where i live. Games are nothing more than a hobby but if you play WoW at lunch and discuss anime everyday then those people get picked on.
    Once, by a kid that all he does is skateboard and smoke pot......go figure.
    Twice, I didn't care both times
    ive been called a nerd, i like Sci-Fi and am pretty smart or at least smarter than most of the people i hang around, so they say im a nerd lol thats what happened when every one wants to be gangsta (atleast where i live and the people im usually around)
    No, but I don't play that regurlarly. I play about two times a week. Maybe more depending on the week and how much I have to work and do stuff for my education. Which proves anyone who says you are a no life is probably wrong. Because you play allot and say you do have a life, but I don't play allot and sadly, I don't have a life to be honest. Or at least not that wildly. I haven't seen a friend outside of work in like... a month. Maybe even more I can't even remember. I've heard not hanging out with friends makes you not have a life so I guess I'm guilty.However, all my friends moved this year because of educations except for one but I rarely see him either also because he's busy with work and so am I. Plus, I hang out allot with my girlfriend. I don't know what to tell you. According to standard rules I apperently don't have a life because I don't see friends much. It doesn't feel like I don't have one though.So unless you think it's true I don't think you should worry about anything.
    yes i have, al lest a few times a week, im a 9th prestide in CO4 and i hear it at lest a few times a week, i just laugh because the people who call me a no life are in like there 6th prestige, an they judge me even know they dont know me, beside you cant take anything anyone says on live seriously
    No. Not form any real life people. Only other Video gamers. Many people around here don't care what you do with your free time. Thats a good thing because its really not up to them what I do. It's stupid though because this guys like wow you have no life rebirth, I was winning in cod4, and then he looked at my gamertag and achievements and said wow 12k you dont have a life. 12k is not even that much. But hey what can you do.
    I consider rappers to have no life.Whatever, it's stupid and it's subjective - they don't enjoy what you do, so they say you have no life. It's retarded, and it's not worth thinking twice about.
    In my hometown, the more you play games, the higher your rep8)On a serious note, I have never been referred a 'no-life' or something similar, yet have witnessed it happen to another unfortunate soul. I find that the only ones that ridicule others about gaming are the pathetic kind of low-lives that linger outside newsagents, and smoke in seedy alleyways. Bullying others helps them feel better about their miserable excuse of a life, and is nothing to take personally.
    My friends and dad call me that regularly, since I play games like... all the time, but I dismiss them as jealous of me because I can do the thing I like doing the most on my free time whenever I want to.Also it's a boring, old and pathetic subject seeing as how ''having a life'' is 100% subjective, and people who can't respect that are what we call haters.

    setting default profile?

    My 360 has 2 offline profiles and a Live profile. Whenever I turn the 360 on, it automatically logs in as the Live profile when playing a game. Is there a way to turn off this auto login? Is there a way to make the 360 ask which profile to start with each time?Thanks in advance!

  • Is Grid going to be better than Forza?

    What do U thinkIs Grid going to be better than Forza?
    its a great gamedepends on the customization for some people though. It was pretty good at first but then i started playing time trials, trying to beat the best times ect, and then the game got just pure awesome :) Ill definitely be getting it. Is Grid going to be better than Forza?
    I'm going to go out on a fairly short limb here and say no.
    First of all, going from Froza tothis game is crazy. the steering is totally different, where in forza its tight, and in grid if you turn the controller u can do a donut. The graphics are great on this game. The fact that you can do missions is cool too, but with customization features I'll have to see.
    no. it will not. i was actually really disapointed witht he demo. the cars felt the same way they did in dirt which is not a good thing considering its on road. like dirt had an excuse cause it was an off road rally racer but grid is on road which means you should be able to turn without spinning out going around the widest turns
    Hell no, the demo itself was HORRIBLE. The cars had to have butter on their tires to spin out that many times..god, what a horrible game it shall be.
    i know alot of ppl are going to think im weird for saying this, but hey its my gaming preference so dont let it bother you. Now me personally i love Forza racing very realistic and is just amazing but i also think its really cool to just go into some huge turn around some wide sweeping bank at high speeds so in my opinion i think GRID will be better (I LOVED THE DEMO)
    haha, GRID is a joke when compared to Forza2.Forza2 >>>>>Best damn racing game of all time imo.Judging by the demo it will be average at best...... NO WHERE NEAR FORZA2 though
    [QUOTE=''Uma-Chan'']Hell no, the demo itself was HORRIBLE.

    it'll offer ''racing fans'' different cars, tracks, views, gameplay etc...i wouldn't say it's going to be better than forza, but it'll be a welcomed addition!

    Is there some friction between Xbox and ...

    When I bought it my wife felt like it was a kids game. I was a little annoyed because I'm 32 and she thought that I was a little immature. Well she's from Mexico, a great country by the way, but they have limited resources so they didn't experience the video gaming revolution as me and my friends with Atari and all those stuffs. Now that she started to ask other friends she realized that many guys of my age play it so she's fine. She even gave me Fifa08 which I love. Anyone have had a similar experience?Is there some friction between Xbox and ...
    well its like radio in the 20's or 30's ....tv in the 50's and 60's...rock music in the 80's whatever people are doing that it's look at like rebel behaivor or stuff that keeps you from hanging out with your loved ones...makes them hate it...Is there some friction between Xbox and ...
    Hahaha. Yeah, I suppose so. My girlfriend of 3 years grew up playing PSX, and understands the nature of video games now as compared to the 80's and early 90's. She understands that Metal Gear and Lost Odyssey represent more than a ''children's game'' or even an ''adolescent's game.'' On the other hand, she has little tolerance for games that are time consuming like Final Fantasy. She's all about the Fifa and Forza though. 10-40 minute games? No problem. She also gets kind of embarrased when company is over and some J-Pop theme comes blaring out of the TV over anime-style graphics. I assume she would be less accepting of it if I chose them over her, school, work, and fiscal responsibility, but I don't. Sometimes, she doesn't understand why a PSX or SNES game costs more than a 360 game, I suppose that can get kind of frustrating. ''Can't you just download it?'' Yeah...not the same. I've had friends that were less understanding, and they didn't want to have sex or go out for a romantic lunch or something. So, rock 'n' roll for me.
    yes i have to endure this lovely expeirnce my self my girlfreind happens to hate my xbox thinks it for little kids and that i should do more with my life then sit there and play games, she really hates it, and hate the fact that i play it all the time, she says that are children wont have anything of the sort, and neither will i, it ganna be depressing when that day comes but untill then i will contiue playing the game i love
    I think I'm pretty balanced. Playing my Xbox is not the only thing I do but the only fact of her seeing me playing a video game used to annoy her a lot. That's what she said.
    Great topic! My wife doesn't really like the 360, but she does enjoy the Wii. She's a real basic kind of gamer, she likes the Mario games, Mario Kart Wii, Harvest Moon and Brain Age kind of games. If I can find her a 360 game that she fancies, perhaps she'll change her tune. Needless to say, it was one of the qualities I was looking for in a spouse, because I love gaming too much to give it up.
    Am I the only one in here without a wife? :( I play games with my girlfriend all the time. She actually has an Elite and I still have my 20 gig from launch. IMO, video games are no longer restricted to kids. This could've been said last generation as well. Its certainly an entertainment medium comparable to movies and books. Its just another way for story to be conveyed, and of course killing time. I don't understand why people see them as something ''immature''; at around $400 - $600 a system, one would have to be mature enough to afford such an investment. I do understand that you've said that she didn't grow up as privaledged as some people though. But thats fine, you should try to get her to play some games, maybe a moment or two on the system. Like say.... GTAVI.... or since this is America; she can experience GTAVI by stepping outside. (meant as a joke not an insult)
    My wife does not understand it , in act her and bunch of the guys wifes from work are on my space ( we call it wife space ) all the time making fun of us. However she does tolerate it more now that we have a daughter and are free time together is pretty much gone anyway. but if you have a significant other who gives you grief over it explain it to them this way:consider the alternative, I could be sitting in a bar somewhere getting drunk and picking up women, at least this way you will always know where I am.
    I'm still only 16 so I don't really involve any girlfriends with my life at home much so no friction there.My mother and family on the other hand are constantly whining. My mother was even CELEBRATING when I had to send my Xbox off >:(
    Tons of friction between myself and the fellow i spend my weekends with. He actually went as far as asking if my 360 was more intellectually pleasing than he was..:shock:Then there's always the coy puns thrown my way due to my gaming. I do not understand why my gaming poses a problem. He wouldn't have a problem with me sitting on my a$$ watching desperate housewives *cringes* or if I took up golf as a hobby.What's the big deal anyways? As long as I have prioritized my time with him accordingly, then what does it matter if i game or not?This is just one of many reasons, why I choose to remain single. :lol:
    no he is not my wife or girlfriend, but me and my brother will get into fights. like physical confrontations over a 360 issue.
    My girlfriend HATES it!! She says its a waste of time.
    just give the right amount of time to each activity and everything will be fine...
    A little. To avoid the situation I only play when she's at work and I'm not. On occasion I can get her to play Puzzle Fighter, Beautiful Katamari, or a racing game. She beat Fable before me, but hasn't been as interested in games since we had a kid. On Rare occasion I can get her to co-op Halo3 with me, but not often enough for my tastes.
    Not really...my girlfriend understands that as a male this is just something I enjoy... so she's all for me playing video games. She even joins in on a game or two sometimes. But lately I really haven't been playing much I mean with school and work and dates and stuff I realize that there's more important matters. As long as I don't put my video games before her she's fine with it.

    Wow, RED FACTION 3 looks amazing (mini-p ...

    It's previewed in the latest Game Informer, and I have to say that Red Faction 3 (official title is RED FACTION: GUERRILLA) is looking to be an amazing game. Since no info (besides this preview) is really available right now, I thought I'd summarize some of the cool new feature for you guys! :)- It will now be played from the third-person perspective and have a cover mechanic (like Gears of War or Uncharted).- The environmental damage that made the series stand out has been upgraded significantly. Not only will you be able to blast a hole through any wall, but damage it enough and it might cause the whole building to collapse under it's own weight! The new system is so advanced that they claimed the developers had to learn the basics of architecture design, otherwise the buildings they put up using their editors would just collapse as soon as they finished it. The preview described blasting up a building from the inside to kill enemies on the levels above you... but then hearing the building creaking under it's own weight and seeing pieces of the ceiling begin to fall, meaning...get the heck out of there! You could even damage a single support beam for a bridge, so that it doesn't collapse until a convoy of enemy vehicles drive over it! GI wrote, ''Do you use the high-end explosive that are guaranteed to blow through a door? Do you cautiously make your way through the overstressed structure? Or do you box the enemy inside the place and try to send the whole building collapsing on his head?''- Red Faction 3 continues the story of mine workers on Mars rebelling against the evil corporation that keeps them there against their will.-I forget if they were in the past games, but #3 will feature plenty of drivable vehicles- The game is going to be set in a giant, persistent, sandbox world! Wage guerrilla warfare (hence the title) any way you see fit. All possible targets are rated on how much of a negative impact they make on the corporation, with bigger targets also coming with a higher risk of retaliation. Take over a main enemy HQ, and they may try to take it back at any time (and put up heavier defenses in the process). Or the enemy may destroy some of your safe house they knew about. Players can attack anything they want and recruit other resistance fighters for the task. Or you can get missions from conversation and radio chatter with your team-mates. Hurt the enemy enough in a given area, and the resistance movement may decide to stage a huge assault without any input from the player. You will now have the decision to join the assault, or to play a support role and weaken the defenses in a completely separate attack from the main forces assault, or you can even just go about your business as normal.Also all of the NPC's will follow schedules(like Oblivion). Notice that an enemy patrol drives through an area everyday at noon? Recruit some team-mates, set up some mines in the road, and ambush them! And that about sums it up. This game is currently scheduled for the end of 2008. Hope your as excited as I am after reading this thread!Wow, RED FACTION 3 looks amazing (mini-p ...
    sounds awesome! i should be gettin my GameInformer in the next few days and i'm excited to see what pics they have of it.Red Faction 3: u heard it here first lolWow, RED FACTION 3 looks amazing (mini-p ...
    I'd much rather it be in first person and nothing like the second one. Too bad it's also nothing like the first.... It should be interesting at least.
    i loved the second one. never played the first. ill definitely take a look
    omg thats amazing.destructible environments are full of win. though ill probably get bfbc.
    Third person? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Why?!
    Looks promising, but I wish it was FPS.
    That looks to be amazing. Too bad about third person but Im willing to look past that as Im sure it will be a great game.
    the second and first were sweet! i owned my friends with the railgun. i hope they have it on this one! the secon one was very fun also. you could dig tunnels to the other players base and some weapon spawn points were only accesible by blowing hole in the map.
    I hope that it's more like the first one. Didn't like the second one too much.
    Is it playable is both third and first person? Kinda lame if it's just third person. I really like tps as much as fps, but I really liked Red Faction in first person. Hopefully the new view doesn't kill the game.
    Why did they feel the need to go to a 3rd person perspective? Oh well, still sounds like a great game assuming that they aren't overhyping the physics.
    That all sounds truly amazing, so I hope that they deliver - wishful thinking.With that being said, when I was younger I went out and bought the original Red Faction with a little bit of money that I had. Having no idea what the game was about (intrigued by the pictures and descriptions on the back, I was completely blown away by it. For hours I'd just shoot holes in the environment.
    Most people on these forums seems to always complain about the excess of FPS games coming out... And know you guys are complaining that this game ISN'T a FPS?!?! :?Besides, I just found out the reason for the third person perspective is that this game is going to make heavy use of cover mechanics (like GeOW).
    Sounds interesting but we'll see how things actually pan out. As a long time gamer I've learned that reality is never as good as fantasy. Remember how gimmicky the environment damage was in the first game?
    [QUOTE=''capthavic'']Sounds interesting but we'll see how things actually pan out. As a long time gamer I've learned that reality is never as good as fantasy. Remember how gimmicky the environment damage was in the first game?[/QUOTE]Yeah I remember it only being useful in a handful of areas, but for the most part it was just looked cool visually. This sounds like it will have a much larger impact on the gameplay.
    ok
    the latest screenshots were REALLY bad but that's most likely because of how early in developement it it. Maybe they had to sacrifice the graphics a little for the destructible environments.
    Why did they make it third person? I mean its not even a red faction game now. If the company wanted to make a third person game, make a totally new game. Red Faction is meant to be in first person. I was excited when they announced this, but now I won't be buying this. Red Faction 1 + 2 were amazing, the Third won't be nearly as good.
    3rd person = the lose......but other than that, sounds great!

    Have you hooked up with Brucie yet? He's the key.When do you get helicopters in GTA4?
    there is a heli pad on the island your on now in the bottom right side. Almost all the way at the bottom. Just go down there and steal one.
    There are also military helicopters at Francis International Airport. Just go around the back of the terminal and search among the planes, you'll find it.

    You get them from containers and stuff, grenades don't really need to be used much. I rarely used mine at all throughout the entire game.

    That would make sense right? But no, you have to randomly find them in different containers. No where to buy them. But honestly, I didn't really use them that much either.
    yeah that would make sense
    Like others have said, you have to find them. They're pretty useless, though.

    its the little things in GTA...

    has anyone else noticed that when you enter a cut-seen for a mission if there is a clock on the way it will tell you the correct time in the game. No matter how many times you have to do it the time will be correct. Its these little things that make this game so good. You have to love that attention to detail. its the little things in GTA...
    The interference on the radio that starts right before you get a phone call. I can't believe they put that in there.its the little things in GTA...
    is that going to keep you playing months from now though?
    no, thats not going to keep me going months and months from now and to be honest now that I've beaten the single player I dont know how much more time I will have with it but I have to give credit where credit is due. I also love how if you leave a dark area and go into a bright area it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to the sun.
    If you shoot or run into someone and wait around for a minute sometimes a ambulance comes up, a guy gets out and goes to investigate. And if you listen closely, the guy is saying stuff like, ''Stay with me!!!!''

    Is GTA 4 multiplayer very good?

    Well im getting the game and i was curious how good or bad is the multiplayer?like is it very laggy glitcly etc.?Is GTA 4 multiplayer very good?
    It's very fun with friends messing around in Free Mode. I haven't had any lag or glitches whatsoever, but the downside is all the auto-aim usage on ranked games that can make some matches pretty boring. Overall its very fun and different, but I don't think it can take away COD4 or Halo 3 crowds for much longer.Is GTA 4 multiplayer very good?
    It's okay. There's nothing wrong with it really, there are various gametypes and if you have the right friends with you, free mode is extremely fun. I guess it's the fact that Halo and COD have such great muliplayer that makes GTA's multiplayer seem not too special. Great game however.
    It is better than average, but nothing revolutionary. It's certainly welcome, though. Cops n' Crooks is a blast and screwing around in Free Mode is hilarious. Last night I was playing chicken on the tarmac of an airport with me in a SuperGT (the counterpart of the Aston Martin DB9) and racing full speed in the direction of another player in a helicopter. He was trying to kill me with his rottor blades while I was trying to evade them and make him crash. It is a lot of fun.On the other hand... Damnit, the servers are AWFUL. I get disconnected so frequently as does everyone I speak to. I also have really fast connection and I rarely lag in any game I play. It can get to be a real pain. But I really wouldn't decide your purchase of a single player based game on the multiplayer experience. That would be like buying Condemned 2 for its team deathmatch. :PI really have to say that this should be a definite buy if you are into action adventure games. I am an RPG fanboy, yet GTA IV is easily one of the best games I have ever played. I say you should pi ck it up.

    Slight GTA problem.

    I was playing GTA 4 and all of a sudden my xbox freezes. It happens every once in a blue moon but no other game freezes atleast not as frequent. My xbox is new so its not my system. I know its a huge game but I had just completed all the cop missions but hadnt save.:cry:Slight GTA problem.
    If it has done this with other games as well, no matter how often it does this, it is your system and not the game. The reason it would do it more with GTA4 is because the game runs the system harder. It does not matter how new a system is, it can still be messed up. I would give MS a call and use your warranty to get it fixed.Slight GTA problem.
    don't freak out just yet, gta4 has been known to freeze now and again. but if it becomes frequent and happens a lot with other games, then it might be your xbox.
    You should also consider turning on the auto save.

    I like the Old Guy and BairdWhen You Played GoW, Which COG Charecter ...
    The old guy's name is Hoffman and I like to use Dominic Santiago. ( he's my favorite). Carmine is also cool but that's my friends favorite charcter in multiplayer so I stop using him.When You Played GoW, Which COG Charecter ...
    I always played as cole no matter what, I don't know why though
    I usually played as Baird, sometimes Marcus
    Dom or Baird
    I always played as Baird.
    Cole. It's the pain train baby.
    dom or marcus
    I like using Bairde, which is other.
    I always played as Dom.
    I was usually Dom.
    Carmine, for no particular reason whatsoever
    I use Baird all the time. The guy you foolishly left out of your poll but included ''old guy'' instead.

    You cant really compare. I would have to say GTA IV.
    cod4 has a better mp so id say cod
    SP, GTA4.....MP, COD4. But i'd really say get both. 2 of the best on the console, and the SP for COD4 is also great and the MP for GTA4 is sweet with friends.
    I dont believe you compare these games, but both are great in my oppinion. Though i do prefer Cod4 on the PC.

    1. Recall all circulated systems and make them have a failure rate of 2% or less, and issue a public apology on the RRoD and promise it won't happen again.2. Abandon all plans for motion controls, since you would alienate the current fans while simultaneously attracting few Wii owners since they already have the console and won't want to get two.3. DIVERSIFY THE DAMN LIBRARY. I'm tired of WRPGs and shooters. Banjo Kazooie might curb this trend.4. Kick anyone off of Xbox Live that sings into the microphone (not on Rock Band).5. Make Live more reliable for the christmas season.6. Get a soul.That sums it up for me.

    Why trade in your 360? You won't get that much for it. You could just save up that extra money to get a PS3 and then you would have both.By the way another game that is coming exclusively to the 360 is Ninja Gaiden 2.

    First off most of Lionhead studio's second games are better than the first... They have the stuff the first game should have and sometimes more. Second if you don't like Gears go look at some other shooter.... i mean what there are going be another 30 this year too.... As long as they are any Hour of Victory games.Third, stop looking at the super hyped titles only because you will pass up on some amazing games. Do you remember Beyond G%26E, Psychonauts, hell Viva Pinata. VP is probably the most overlooked game on the 360 because it look ''childish'' and because all those 9 yr old kids want to play more ''mature'' games because they will be cooler or something.....Fourth, if anything, sell your 360 on Ebay because trade ins are pretty much worthless...And last.... how long do you own your consoles? If a console has one year that doesn't excite you do you honestly just sell it?
    wow you kinda listed all the reasons to keep the 360 i want to keep my 360, i love Gears1 and Fable 1 and am def. looking forward to the sequels. like some one else said just save up your money and have both. ps3 will only drop in price. and the 360 has better games (imo) as for the exclusive part

    if too human is bad ill give you 100 $ fable 2 looks awsome i think but buy a ps3 if you want your opinoins dont really matter just yours :)
    Well, all your friends have the PS3 so see which games on that you might like. Try them before switching.Close the door on the way out.
    Ugh, why can't people just decided for themselves ( even though I always ask about games :lol: )
    Anyhoo, personally, I wouldn't trade in a console for any other console because I see it as a waste of time and money. If your really want to a PS3, go save up for one.

    Looking at your collection of games, you've barely played anything

    [QUOTE=''choffy'']Plus, on top of that all of my friends have a PS3, and the one I have left is seriously considering switching[/QUOTE]Yeah, God forbid you actually have a mind for yourself and do something you want to do as opposed to following suit with your friends. Yeah, that's a valid reason to switch consoles. :roll:Apparently, you hold much disdain for the 360 and that is clearly evident. I would definitely recommend you sell your console and all it's counterparts and make your way over to the PS3. The 360 has almost three times as many games on it than the PS3....so if you could not find something to play that you enjoyed on the 360 then the odd's are likely you will not find anything on the PS3 either.
    Your loss if you do so.
    Well..... If you're willing to play the waiting game ok
    imma be honesti think the 360 is betterbut without live and friends.... the 360 is not as good as the PS3... so if for SOME reason... that i dont understand.. your friends alll switch to PS3 then go for it

    You'll miss NG2.
    I think asking why you shouldn't give up your 360 on the 360 board is rather silly... most often you're going to get fanboy replies. Honestly, and this is coming from someone who owns a 360, it's just a piece of hardware that plays video games. The differences between this and a PS3 are all based on your opinions. If you don't like the exclusives on 360, then maybe you should switch idk... and don't pay attention to graphics and stuff it's gameplay over graphics anyday. The whole friend issue is another reason in your case, and I think if you really just want to play games with your friends online then maybe you should switch. It's completely your choice though, do as you wish, but don't let petty little things decide for you, it all comes down to where you think you'll have more fun.
    Boy you caught meMy GamerTag is only in my sig

    my grandpa again...

    OK this is legit first of all.but anyways, i went out and bought a new 360 after my alzheimers grandpa destroyed my old one.SO he asked me if I wanted to go out and play some tennis (we're both avid players), and I quickly accepted the offer.Anyways, his car is parked right behind the fence where hes serving and he decides he'll serve first. He tells me he needs a can of balls, so being all alzheimer-y, he goes to the car and i think nothing of it.but when he gets back on the godforsaken court, he throws my BRAND NEW 360 into the air and smashes it with his raquet into the ground. He starts yammering on about how the glowing green light when its plugged in reminded him of a tennis ball, and as such, it simply had to be served onto the ground.he tells me it's not right for him to pay AND because I left the court, he won the match and is the superior player.Should I be mad or what? What do you think of this dreadful situation?my grandpa again...
    Dude you are a jag off! Why do you keep posting this crap?my grandpa again...

    I believed the first one, but not anymore. First of all why would you let him by the second one if you knew what he did once, and also, where is he gonna see the green lights on the console, as you need to plug it in and there is nowhere to do that in a car. Even if you had it plugged in to make it greeen he would have to turn it on, not to mention when he turned it on he would have to turn on 4 controllers to actually make a circle shape. Next time you make up a bogus story think these things through and make sure it is somewhat believeable

    Birthday Decision Help???

    Hey, well my birthday is june 24th, which isnt all too long from now. My birthday list this year isn't much, all ive got besides game-related items is a new guitar. The gaming systems i have right now, as far as current-gen consoles, are the 360 and the wii. I wanted to know what kind of input you guys had on this list. I am looking for good online games, which i should have taken care of with cod4 and vegas 2. Then i was just looking for some good solo games to play, as well as some rgeat games to play with friends, as far as having fun, like multiplayer mini-games and such. Before you recommend anything i already have, please check my collection to make sure you're not recommending an old game i already own. This is my list so far:cod4 Rainbow six vegas 2Burnout ParadiseBully: SESSBB - wiiSuper monkey ball banana blitz- wiiMario kart- wiiScene it: LCAThat's it for now, i can't find my list at the moment but off of the top of my head, that is most of it. So are there any hot games out right now that are any good? I was looking for feedback on condemned 2, and what you guys think of alone in the dark and the hulk game. Or, if any of these games don't look too good, i just want some feedback on them. Thanks guys for any help.Birthday Decision Help???

    What should I get - purchasing problem.

    Ok, I'm about to step into the new-gen era. I know its a little late, but if you people can help me out, it would be great. I'm thinking about getting a 360. I've chosen this because not only are the games great, but online seems worth it for the 50 bucks. Now my options are the Pro, Halo edition, or the Elite. I don't want an arcade because...well, no hard drive. I'm kind of on a strict budget, but I'm willing to spend the extra cash if it seems worth it. I also have to add that I have a CRT T.V., but I'm planning on picking up an LCD is the near future. Thank-you for reading. What should I get - purchasing problem.
    I don't think there is any advantage to have the ''Elite'' because what are you going to do with all of that HDD space? Just get the Pro.What should I get - purchasing problem.
    it all depends on what you plan on doing with you 360 it you going to download movies or stroe music and such then get the elite but it you dont plan on doing any of this then just get the pro
    Oh, sorry, I have to add that I'll probably mostly play games and store music. But I might download movies too. But not as much.
    unless you see yourself downloading lots of demos and other stuff on marketplace then the 120 gb of space may not be worth the price of a elite.. and since your a bit tied down on cash i suggest you get the pro. With the money left you can get a couple games. The ones i recommend are 1) GTA IV2) Halo 33)Call of Duty 44) Oblvion5) Gears of war
    Any other opinions?
    just get the pro i was late into the next gen era aswel i was playing my ps1 in 2007 when i found it there was such thing as an xbox 360 lol :P :D
    Ok, most people say ''Get the Pro''. Does anyone have the Halo Edition or Elite versions? And if so, how are they? Do you like it?Thanks.

    One of the greats???

    Okay, so if you look past the real minor flaws with GTA IV, it is truly a special and intriguing video game experience. With that said, for all of you that love this game, could this rank up there with your list of your favorite games of all time? I know that it reaches my Top 15, then again, I don't nit pick like many gamers do. Let's hear your opinion...One of the greats???
    it blew me away at first but im starting to get a little fed up w/ the car chases. id say its up there w/ mass effect and cod4One of the greats???
    I completely agree with you. The car chases are very very annoying. Other than that I love it!
    I've got a lot of issues with GTA IV (repetitive mission design, laggy multiplayer, difficult achievements, change from San Andreas) but I love the game. If a game is good enough for people to look past the flaws, it should be ranked very high.
    [QUOTE=''dxy592'']I've got a lot of issues with GTA IV (repetitive mission design, laggy multiplayer, difficult achievements, change from San Andreas)[/QUOTE]you know.. its things like that that make me question how this got a perfect score, when absolutely NOTHING ever gets a perfect score. i still like it, but im starting to notice the same qualities you mentioned
    im not going to bash the game but i think that it deserves more like an 8/10 or something along those lines it just seems like the missions become more and more redundant. its like go kill these people oh no they have a car chase them down and kill them. there are so many missions like that and it seems like the innovation that used to make the franchise so good is no longer there because it feels like we have done this before. i cant say its one of the beat games that i have ever played. but it deserve to be recognized as its a great open world an amazing physics engine the missions and the gameplay have just worn out on me.
    I haven't gotten far enough into the game to really know just how great it is, but I've been having a blast with it. I feel like those 10s were handed out awful fast, though.
    its within my top 10 favorite games but it in no way deserves a 10/10, it doesnt really add anything new and better than the previous gta's
    I sort of wish it was like Oblivion where you could go in like every building. That would be great for the GTA series.

    has BioShock been discounted?

    just wondering since the digital download for PC (and i think the PC retail version) is $30. I'm asking because BioShock is the game i plan on buying soon and having a cheaper price will help me out since i may have to buy a new controller (long story)has BioShock been discounted?
    Well its $39.99 USD for the 360 version. On ebay you can probably get a used one for $30 or less. has BioShock been discounted?
    I wouldn't say it's discontinued, but it's most likely in a production remission from low sales. They're probably repackaging them as platinum hits, and with all the hype about a new movie and a sequel, the price drop will probaly attract some new buyers.

    I would say just rent it, unless your really into achievments. It's an amazing game that is a must play imo, but the second playthrough is just leagues worse than the first.
    The console version is selling new for $39.99. My next purchase... well, after MGS4.
    I bought my copy for $29.99 earlier this year from Fry's Electronics.

    Umm, wowza..

    This may be in the wrong forums, I'm not sure, so don't give me any crap please. As many know, I am selling my Xbox 360. I was wondering, how much do you all think I can get out of this:

    Xbox 360 premium, with controller, and battery charger. Games include:
    Grand Theft Auto 4, Halo 3, Call of Duty 2, 3, and 4, Lost Odyssey, Graw 1 and 2, Samurai Warriors 2, Lost PLanet, Saint's Row, Gears of War collectors edition, Rainbow Six Vegas 1, and Splinter Cell Double Agent. 14 games.Rough estimates please?
    And once again, sorry if this is the wrong place for discussion.Umm, wowza..
    Call Gamestop to see what the trade in would be. Check eBay to see how much things are selling for.Umm, wowza..
    $500-600 depending on how high the bidding goes, used 360s are worth nothing, the games are where you'll get your money.

    $600. Why are you selling it?
    To be honest, I am getting bored of it and want a PS3 instead.
    dont do it, I too thought the same and I am now the proud owner of a black paperweight that plays movies twice a month.
    [QUOTE=''imakillaholic'']To be honest, I am getting bored of it and want a PS3 instead.[/QUOTE]what do you expect to be so different about a PS3?
    [QUOTE=''imakillaholic'']To be honest, I am getting bored of it and want a PS3 instead.[/QUOTE]So you sell your 360. Buy the same games that you already had (GTA IV, CoD4, ETC) and you will be less bored? Unless looking at the PS3 is entertaining, you are wasting your money.
    why would any one consider selling there Xbox when you got Gears of War 2 coming out and other great games later in the future. Only reason to get a PS3 Right now is MGS4. Witch is a pretty good reason to get one but still it's just one game and then you have to wait till next year for KillZone 2. Just keep your Xbox Unless your a Huge MGS fan like i am then just go for the PS3.

[/QUOTE] ya just make sure that you really, really want a ps3. because it might sound like a good idea now but you could regret it later.

    i wouldnt do it just save up and get a ps3 and have both i got rid of my box last year to get a ps3 and within a month i bought another 360 now i got both so just save yourself the time
    yeah believe me i just bought a PS3 last week and there is hardly any difference between the two system except for that xbox 360 has way more and better internet features and better exclusives, and do not buy a PS3 thinking u can play PS2 games on them unless u buy a used 60GB or 80GB cause they discontinued PS2 compatibility on all new PS3 models and believe me so far they only have a few games that r exclusive to the system that r worth playing the other ones r not that great, trust me wen i say this stick to ur 360 and if u r going to buy a PS3 at least wait until u save up the money for it so that way u dont have to sell ur 360
    lol people these days
    I would say anywhere from $500-$550. This is second-hand talk, but I would say not to go to GameStop. I hear they screw you with selling used products, eBay or Amazon is probably the way to go.
    [QUOTE=''imakillaholic'']To be honest, I am getting bored of it and want a PS3 instead.[/QUOTE] To be honest, I have all three systems and my PS3 is collecting dust until MGS4. Dont get me wrong I love the PS3. It has rock solid games like Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, GT5, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, the list goes on, but Xbox 360 just feels different, in a good way. Personally, I gotta have all systems. They're all great in their own right. Keep it and save up for a PS3. You'll miss out big time if you sell it. Trust me. ;)
    If you aren't in a situation where you can save up for a PS3 on top of a 360, than I guess you should go ahead and sell your 360. On the otherhand, I have heard that most people who switch consoles (in either direction) end up regretting it eventually. I am not into the whole system wars debate, it is really all about preference. I simply like the games and controllers better on the Xbox 360. If you can, I'd suggest selling all the games you can live without and using that money to save towards a PS3. If I added it up right, you can get about $200 from all of those games together. I think the PS3 is at about $400 and if you could shave off $200 it would be much easier to save up for. That's just my 2c, but I would do that if I were in your shoes. Good luck with your decision.
    I wouldn't get a ps3 now. Their best games are avialable on 360. At least wait til Crimbo.

    What is the best game u ever payed on xb ...

    Devil may cry 4. and Gears of War What is the best game u ever payed on xb ...
    Oblivion. By a lot.What is the best game u ever payed on xb ...
    Lost odyssey or Oblivion.
    cod 4
    I have only had my 360 for a few months now, so I would say Mass Effect, or the Orange Box.
    Blue Dragon.
    Oblivion. No question.
    Gears of War. I have put the most time into that game than any other.
    I've only had my 360 for about two-three weeks, so I don't have much experience with it. I'd go with Halo 3 just because the multiplayer is so damn enjoyable when you're playing with your friends.
    It's probably for me Rock Band. Simply too amazing with 3 friends. However, GTA4 is simply an amazing work of art that's going to have me entranced for a long while.
    Its between Assassins Creed and GTA IV in my opinion.
    MASS EFFECT
    Gears of War and GTA IV. Both fantastic games.
    Mass Effect !
    The Guitar Hero series, followed by Grand Theft Auto 4. Haven't really gotten my money's worth on next-gen yet. :(
    i would have to say COD4 or Gears of War
    Oblivion, I've had the game since it came out and I still play it to this day.
    GTA IV
    gears of war
    GTA IV and Mass Effect. :)

    Get off your fail canoe

    There are moments when we game when we all think to ourselves ''How could I be that stupid?'' What moment in your gaming career made you wonder that? Mine had to be the time I bought Two Worlds....I thought they were going to kick me off the fail canoe into the fail lake. What was I thinking?I am trying to recall moments in gaming where I failed.
    et off you
    Get off your fail canoe
    When I spent half an hour in Halo 3 trying to get a skull and when I finally got to it I realized the skull disapears after you destroy the anti-air tank?

  • Your Favorite weapon on GTA IV

    what is itYour Favorite weapon on GTA IV
    Combat pistol definitely. It feels so unrealistic running around with an M4 when I can pull out a pistol that's just as accurate and powerful.Your Favorite weapon on GTA IV
    M4A1
    Grenades are pretty fun to mess with, and the shotgun is pretty satisfying blowing people away.
    m4carbine is great with the zoom on but i also love he mp5
    i found the grenades massively useful in the bigger gunfights. but i think my favourite gun for general mischief is the MP5. It would be the M4, but a) its too expensive, and b) you can't run as fast with it. RPG is pretty fun too, but again, the massive expense dampens its appeal.
    Combat shotty and RPG.
    [QUOTE=''ZarMulix'']Combat pistol definitely. It feels so unrealistic running around with an M4 when I can pull out a pistol that's just as accurate and powerful.[/QUOTE]

    Yes. I love the pistol.
    I love the AK in GTA, I don't know why it just feels and looks awesome. My second fav is a tie bewteen the Combat Pistol and the Shotty they both pack a huge punch.
    AK47. Quite simply my favorite weapon in ANY game as long as that game doesn't also include the AK74 series or any German WW2 weapon. The ratta-tat-tat the AK makes never ceases to put a smile on my face when mowing down mobsters.
    Combat pistol. It is so badass. Even if it is more practical to use a combat shotgun or combat assault rifle, something about pistols rings true for me. I destroy with that.
    After using the combat pistol (desert eagle) for an extended period of time I decided to go back to the standard pistol (glock). Even though the combat pistol is technically the superior gun, I find the glock much more satisfying to use.Aside from the glock, the combat shotgun is my favorite weapon. Nothing like unloading 10 rounds in a few seconds into the front windshield on an approaching cop car.Edit: Typos

    Freerome achicements possible?

    Freerome achivements ?is it possable ?Freerome achicements possible?
    what?Freerome achicements possible?
    on gta 4 if i play online with a mate on freerome will i get achivements
    no
    darn
    You can only get the online achievements while in a ranked match. Free Mode is a player match so that would be a no.
    well thats not fun
    [QUOTE=''TDC007'']well thats not fun[/QUOTE]Why? Because you can't boost for them?
    i like to play with my mates, not play with my self. the game is much better if your rolling a car with 4 mates and you all the the achivement :) its ok ill be yourfriend if you really really need one :p

It makes it more of a challenge to have to do it without help. I did not mean to offend you. I just hate when people brag about getting an achievement that they boosted for as they did not earn it. To each his own though.
    na that cool, its just i like to work with my friends to get something it becomes more fun. ive never bosted noir do i care about achivements, i play for fun :) its just all fun n games
