[QUOTE="Xalions"]Which of these games are worth purchasing? Please note all of these games are worth 5 dollars at Hollywood. 50 Cent Blood on the Sand Assassin's Creed BioShock Burnout Paradise Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Condemned 2: Bloodshot Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Fable II Fallout 3 Far Cry II Fight Night Round 4 Gears of War 2 Ghostbusters GTA 4 Guitar Hero World Tour Halo 3 Halo Wars Infinite Undiscovery L4D Mirror's Edge Ninja Gaiden Prince of Persia Saints Row 2 Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection Street Fighter 4 The Darkness The Last Remnant Tomb Raider Underworld Velvet Assassin Vesperia Bioshock is a magnificent title. Halo 3 is, as well, but if you're not familiar with the first two Halo games, the storyline may be lost on you. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion makes some passing references to the story of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (which was on the original Xbox), but the story stands on its own. (Oblivion's main story, in my opinion, left a lot to be desired -- but the side quests are fantastically written and designed.) If you enjoy Oblivion, even at all, you will get an absolutely absurd amount of replay value out of that game, no matter how much you pay for it (though I do recommend buying the Game of the Year Edition if at all possible, because the expansions are excellent). Fallout 3 is also magnificent and has a better story than Oblivion, though I actually thought that Oblivion's side quests were more interesting (though Fallout's are also very, very good).
:'( I bought mass effect 2 and it doesnt work. those bastards! I have heard that dead space is hella good. I think I'll buy it this weekend.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean, "you bought Mass Effect 2 [which isn't commercially available yet] ?" Are you talking about some sort of locked pre-download feature (for the PC version) ?
[QUOTE="MellowMighty"]Hey. So I recently got an xbox 360, woo hoo! its all connected to my big flat screen home TV, but right now the only game I have fo it is Halo ODST, which while fun, is hardly a full collection. This Christmas, I plan to flush out my collection. I read a lot of reviews. One thing to know about me is i recently noticed that I have a short attention span when it comes to games. When I played the game Lineage 2 on the compute, i only played high rate servers because i couldn't stand sitting there killing mobs for hours on end. I needed a fair amount of instant satisfaction. I mean i dont need ONLY pure action, I dont mind SOME repetitiveness, but i tend to like faster paced games. Heres what Im deciding between. I dont have a set number of games Im thinking of, but probably in the 4-6 range i want to buy. Assassins Creed 2: This is a lock. I played 1 on PC, loved it. supposed to be a great game. Nuff said. CoD MW2: Pretty much a lock, a bunch of my friends have it i wanna play with them. Fable 2: My friend loved it, and i really like the idea of the game. very open ended, It sounds like it doesn't get too bogged down in the main story, i like more openended games. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion: I had amazingly barely heard of this game. reading the review, it looks amazing. My only worry is that how much time do you spend just whacking monsters? And how fast does your character progress relative to other RPG types? It looks so great, but it would be unfortunate to get bored of it because it just was happening so slow and everything felt repetive. (I dont wanna mash the same button for an hour, no matter how pretty it is or how cool the storyline is). it seems like a classic, yet ive barely heard of it (which I think is just wierd luck).Is it a great game? Borderlands: Again, i love the idea of the game. Role playing shooter where you roam around doing quests, picking up better guns, leveling up you class, etc sounds great. I hhave two questions about the game though. First, online play. Do you need to be friends with people who play the game to play the game with other players? Is there a system where i can go on, and find a random guy to go play with, help him complete a quest etc. How repetitive does it get? Similar to Elder Scrolls, does the game tend to progress faily fast? Or is a bunch of time devoted to travel, and standing killing the same monsters. So what are your opinions of those games (remember I own Halo ODST), and are there other games that I should think of? Mostly anyone who wanted to try and take a stab at saying how repetitive/slowpaced Borderlands and Elder Scrolls are would be sweet/ Modern Warfare 2, from what I've played of it, appeals to me more than Modern Warfare 1 did in terms of how the multiplayer 'feels' and in terms of set-piece pacing in the campaign. If you have a short attention span, Bethesda RPGs (The Elder Scrolls series, Fallout 3) are not for you. The games are magnificent but are slowly paced and are largely what you make of them (these games are sprawling, open-ended RPGs in which the main quest doesn't begin to touch most of the content (i.e. there is a huge emphasis on exploration, though it is optional).
Halo 3 Guardian jumped up on the side with the overshield and no scoped an invisible opponent in the head.
Still have that one recorded. lol
sensfanVone
Why don't more games, particularly multiplayer games (not that Theater isn't awesome in Halo 3's Campaign, as well), have some sort of recording feature, dare I ask?
Well in halo i had an extremely awesome betray kill. I'm playing team snipers on vallaha and me and my teammates are jumping on the bridge and i just turn to my side and shoot to see what happens and i get a three for one betrayal on my teammates. Then i saw the little you have been booted from the game notification. But it was soo worth it.

Just out of curiosity, do you still have the video saved in Theater? (It seems like, for me, it's really easy to take something like Theater for granted until I play a shooter that doesn't have anything like it.)
What is the best split-screen coop game for me and my girlfriend to play, one that isnt too hard, thanks all.

Halo 3
Halo ODST
Ok. Halo 3 is pretty easy to pick up and play and you two can have some really fun with it. Gears and Gears 2 has the cover system which makes it very convenient for new players and is really fun and bloody(If she does not mind). But Borderlands has LOTS to do, loot, rpg elements and is very fun. You can't go wrong with any of these games but show her some of these games and see which ones she likes the most.
Halo 3 is quite reasonable on the easiest difficulty. I don't think that difficulty can be set for each individual player, but the game is still pretty fun whether or not it's a challenge.
In battlefield 1943 i called in an air raid on one of the flags. I ended up killing 7 of the 12 enemies with it. It was so cool!

In a way that reminds me of what I once did in my demo of the racing game GRID. (No one "died," per se, but the in-game consequences were close enough.) I was on the second lap of a three-lap race, racing down the narrow home stretch and beginning to start my third lap, when my car snagged on the wall to my right. My car spun around 90 degrees and got temporarily stuck, but before I could reverse and continue on, the second-place car ran headlong into my side with a magnificent *crunch,* and I heard crunch after crunch after crunch as I looked behind me to see an enormous cloud of dust and debris with most of the opposing cars piled up behind me. I was able to finish the third lap, though my car's steering was now messed up, and I ended up winning. Seven of the twelve cars, if I recall correctly, didn't even finish the race.
mine has to be in call of duty mw2. me and my friend were having a shoot out in the office section of highrise. He was on the other side of the room and i was on the opposite end. My friend shot me right on the foot, and i as i fell to ground right before entering last stand, i threw a knife randomly towards his direction. it flew across the room and landed right on his face instantly killing him. it was pretty sweet. whats the coolest way youve killed someone? also once in gta 4, 3 of my friends asked me to pick them up with my chopper. i came to thier location and they were surrounded by cops. they were like "YEAHH DUDE WERE SAVED, YOU SHOWED UP RIGHT IN TIME! WERE OUT OF AMMO, GET US OUT OF HERE". i tried to land but i was going to fast to land where they were, so i crash landed right on top of them. killing them all. imabove
Bioshock. I was preparing to go up against a Big Daddy, one of the game's iconic boss enemies (which usually takes a good five minutes or longer to kill), but I wanted to try a strategy I'd found. The strategy involved [spoiler] 'firing' half a dozen proximity mines onto any one of the omnipresent oxygen canisters and using Telekinesis to throw the whole assembly at the Big Daddy. (I tagged this as a spoiler because it removes a lot of the challenge from the game, and I didn't want anyone who prefers the challenge to have to force themselves not to do this.) [/spoiler] The Big Daddy went down in one hit. As far as multiplayer goes, my fondest memory took place in the game F.E.A.R. Combat. One of the capture-the-flag maps takes place in a large wooded forest with bases for both teams at either end. Near each base are some periodically respawning remote mines in groups of three. I and a teammate both decided to place our own sets of remote mines and detonate them at the same time once an enemy came charging for the flag. The resulting explosion was about the size of, perhaps, a mini-nuke in other games. It was enormous.
