So... Call of Duty 2's credits end with "No cows were harmed in the making of this game".........

Were they being serious, or trying to be funny?

It has that little gold "crown" in the top left corner of the square, so I think it's Gold only.

Dude, that's DEAD serious. Game design is VERY cow-unfriendly.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Invisible Tiger both 33% off. Everyone who hasn't taken the plunge yet, I suggest you do so now.

I finally got the music player working. I just plugged my iPod into the USB port on the 360.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, a Halo Reach documentary with some kick@$$ gameplay in it was released a few days ago.

SWEET

thanks RWP!

No problem. Just from that video I can see that Reach will most likely have the best graphics on the 360. I doubt it will surpass Uncharted 2, but I can guarantee it will be up there. I'm not going to judge the gameplay yet, there isn't much to judge.

Also, is ODST any good? I want to get it so I can get the Reach beta code, but I don't want to spend $50-$60 just for a code.

That is a freaking sweet braided beard that pops up around the 30 second mark

Damn, I shouldn't have watched that. Now I'm hyped up for it, and I'll surely have unrealistic expectations that will never be met!>_<

Well, I just reactivated my Xbox Gold membership, and now I like my Xbox 360 as much as my PS3. My Xbox Live gamertag is Knuckles 1990, and I will add some of you guys next time I'm online. I have a decent number of XBLA games, but I have some retail games like Perfect Dark Zero and others. I also have recently bought Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect, and Gears of War 2. I wanted to buy Halo 3 ODST and Fable II, but Gamestop did not have a copy of Halo 3 ODST for a reasonable price. By the way, is anybody else excited for the XBLA port with Perfect Dark with online multiplayer? It would be awesome for us NL members to gather together for Perfect Dark goodness when it comes out

Im getting a Xbox 360 elite tomarrow and im planning on buying Bioshock 2. I won't have Xbox Live for a little bit because im using a ethernet cable and my step dad wont hook it up right away. But i was wondering if anyone had played Bioshock 2 yet and if not could recomend me a different game.

Have you played bioshock one yet? as for other games i would say

Mass Effect
Shadow Complex
crackdown
gears of war

just to name a few

Maybe this link will help you out Sumba.

@Shingi_70 Yes i have played the first one and i liked it a lot so im gunna go ahead and get bioshock 2 and then save up for Mass effect 2.

@Chrono I looked at that and it helped but the games that got good scores my friends own so ill just borrow them from them.

ODST is awesome. Cant go wrong with it.

Thanks, MM. I'll get it eventually, hopefully before May.

I just found out that you can use custom dashboard themes. I am making one using a template that I found.

Okay, so I just need some basic game recommendations. It can be anything, I'm not looking for anything specific. I just want to increase my 360 collections size. So far I have:

Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Battlefield: Bad Company
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Preordered, so technically I own it)
Prince of Persia
Lost Planet

So, shoot. Please and thank you.

Well, if you like Banjo-Kazooie, you may want to at least rent Nuts & Bolts. I was kind of skeptical at first, but I thoroughly enjoyed that game.

Fable II I hear is a good game, though I've yet to play it. Bordlerlands I also wanted to try, as well as Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie. (Me, I'm kinda new to 360, haven't played all that many 360 games yet.)

Gears of War is good.

Lost Planet 2 is also coming out.

@RWP: Do you like Lost Planet? If so, I'd wait for Lost Planet 2 and get it.
Also, if you like the multiplayer of Lost Planet, you should check out the Colonies Edition. It can be found fairly cheap nowadays.
