Topic: The Xbox 360 Thread

@BrazCanaMan
I tried the demo and and am going to DL it when I get paid on Tuesday. I'll try to hit you up then.

My Xbox 360 red rings all the time. I just turn it off, let it cool off for a little while, point a fan at it, then start it up again. Works fine.

Tried the 1 hour trial of Blacklight: Tango Down and didn't like it. Kept getting killed(one shotted) and never could kill anyone else on othe other team no matter how many bullets I fired into them.

That's how it is with a lot of competitive shooters like that, at least until you get good enough that you're the one killing everyone before they can gun you down. Just saying, it takes practice. It's not something you're gonna automatically be good at, there'd be no point to it if it were. It's honestly more of a sport than a game.

@The Fox
Alright, cool. I'll add you now since you posted your gamertag.

@Xiepher
You don't play many FPS's do you? There are games out there that have a faster "death time", or whatever you wanna call it, such as Counter Strike. As long as you get the drop on your opponents and shoot first you can take 'em out easy. And it's easy to know where people are thanks to the virtual helmet.

Is Crackdown 1 worth the purchase? I think the sequel looks cool, but I don't want to spend $60 dollars on something I might not like. I was thinking of getting Crackdown used at Gamestop for $15.

Sure. It's not the deepest sandbox style game out there, but buffing your character out tot the point he can hurl cars across the street or leap several stories is good fun. Well worth $15, IMO.

Yes. Yes it is. It's one of the best Open-World/Sandbox games around, and it's definitely one of the best on the Xbox 360. It's more than worth $15, I can tell ya that.

Okay, so what would be a better choice, Crackdown or Fable II? I'm new to both series.

Well, they're both great games. I honestly would say Fable II is the better game, but it depends if you would rather have an action game or an RPG. Fable II is much more of a time investment than Crackdown, I can tell you that much.

@RandomWiiPlayer
If you like GTA style games, get Crackdown, if you prefer RPGs get Fable II. Personally I prefer Fable II, it lasts longer (sidequests, jobs, bar games, Gargoyles, Demon doors, etc...) and has more to do (weapon customization, raise a family, train your dog, etc...) it even has some cool DLC. Both games have character customization, Crackdown has orbs for specific traits (agility, shooting, speed, strength, etc...) which make your character very superhuman (leaping across buildings and throwing cars at enemies is fun) and changes his appearance (from ugly to super ugly, LOL) whereas Fable II has XP orbs for certain skills (magic, ranged weapons, strength) and your characters appearance changes due to the choices you make (good or evil, pure or corrupt), clothes you choose to wear, and how much force (magic) you use. All in all Fable II is more a deeper, more entertaining gaming experience.

I believe I will go with Fable. Thanks guys. I will probably get Crackdown eventually.

Oh ya! DeathSpank coming out tomorrow, can't wait to play the demo and quite possibly buy it. It's been described as having Diablo gameplay and Monkey Island humor. Hope it turns out to be good. And next week it's Limbo (I've been looking forward to this one for a while).

Not much posts here in awhile.
A question.

The new 250GB 360 Slim.
What is included in the package does anyone know?

What comes in the box
■Xbox 360 250 GB S console
■Xbox 360 250 GB S removable hard drive
■Xbox 360 black wireless controller
■Xbox 360 black headset
■Xbox 360 composite A/V cable
■1-month Xbox LIVE Gold membership
■1-year limited console warranty

It also has built-in WiFi capability and is "Kinect-ready" according to the xbox web site.

I don't see any mention of a transfer cable being included in the box, but I don't think it comes with one.

Last week I finally got a 360. (Arcade Spring 2010 bundle) A lot of games I've played suffer from tiny text. (Nuts & Bolts being the worst but at least they updated it with readable text) I thought I heard something about using component cables to fix that?

If you guys haven't tried Limbo yet then go and download the demo right now. This game is incredible and also very disturbing. It is an experience that stays with you long after you play it. It is definitely one of the best games that I have played this year. It may be a little pricey at 1200 MS points but it is totally worth it.

Halo Fans:

Time to get creative.

A friend and I are finally waiting for Limbo to download completely. We've planned to stay up all night and beat this game and well the demo was what really got us to buy it and it's going to be very fun I'm assuming.

Good luck with it man, it looks like a lot of fun.

Anybody know if Hydro Thunder is out yet? I'm planning on grabbing it once I'm done with the original, assuming it doesn't suck.
