I'm starting to regret not having a 360. Many games look very nice for it.

Fallout 3

Fable 2

Oblivion

Tales of Vesperia

NHL

Gears of War 1/2

Bioshock

Eternal Sonata

Devil may Cry 4

10 games out of the top of my head that interest me.. mmm.

With almost nothing of interest on the Wii and the PS2 dying down, I really wonder WTH I'm waiting for.

If I remember your tastes correctly, you should be interested in The Last Remnant as well. An East meets West RPG created by Square. Lost Odyssey was good as well (made by Mistwalker, a company created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, creaotr of Final Fantasy, so you should check out Blue Dragon too, although I didn't like it). Microsoft could use the sales so go for it.

I'm playing Gears 2 right now and there is something just so satisfying about chainsawing someone in half!

Pssh, that was satisfying in the first one. This time it's satisfying to chainsaw someone in half from behind.

As Cliffy B calls it, "chain-sawdomy"

w00t! Gears 2 is amazing so far.

I agree... it's succeeding at pulling me away from Fallout 3... but then the opposite happens and so on and so forth...

Why do I insist on having a job? Why can't I get paid to do this?

If I remember your tastes correctly,

My 2 favourites genres are action RPG (ex : Ys, Tales, Castlevania SOTN) and 2D plaforming (ex Mario 3 NES, Megaman X) . Like with movies tough, I can appreciate the gems from every gener. For instance, I dont usually like horror games, but I loved RE4.

The main reason why i'm considering a 360 right now is than the incoming Wii lineup is very , very poor (besides Tos2, I'm not interestred in any new release in fact)

I have DS, Wii and PS2.. the only one alive right now is the DS...

Should get 360 game of the year easily, Cliffy B delivered on the "bigger better and more badass" promise. For my overall GOTY, I'd still have LBP and MGS IV ahead of it.

I will get paid to do this in a couple years! :D

Ummm, ok. I never said you didn't. I just remembered you had a thing for JRPG's and recommended a few on the 360 you'd probably like.

Nothing can pull me away from Fallout 3 right now.

Except HWL... for a whole 2 mins it took me to botch some lines and send them.

... and that being said, I'm going back to it. :P

So...question.

When you defeat Skorg's Reaver, did he die? I thought in that cutscene all he did was faint and put his head on the ground in a "Dammit, I ######ed up" kind of way.

But then you never see him for the rest of the game and it ends up being a little dissapointing. Even on casual, I found RAAM to be WAY more difficult. Gameplay wise, the ending wasn't as great as GoW 1 either. I had to take on RAAM I don't know how many times and this time around, I beat the Lambent Brumak on my first try which took me maybe a minute tops.

Storyline wise though, the ending was f*cking impressive

and at the end of the day, Gears of War 2 is billions of times better then Gears of War. Most of the complains I have are just nitpicking, really

Mirror's Edge is out tomorrow, I can't wait to pick it up. :D

I believe Gears 2 is merely a transisition into what will be an amazing Gears 3 (in terms of story). In terms of gameplay, it takes what made Gears so appealing and made it 1000 times better.

Indeed I like those too. I'm really looking forward to Persona 4 on the PS2. :)

Those are all sites where you can get Xbox 360 information. Personally, I'm pretty partial to ign.com. It's reputation amongst gamers isn't great but I've never understood why. They're not usually biased and get most of the information out there before anyone else.

Yeah, I'm waiting for some other stuff too so I checked the reference number when I got home to see when it was shipped. It's definitely my Xbox.

I'll have to go pick up Gears 2 again pretty soon.

Ok, so I bought Gears 2 again today, don't know when I can play though.

And like I mentioned to Maca, f*cking Left 4 Dead freezes up on me all the time. I googled to see if it was a common problem and I guess it is, my Xbox plays everything else just fine (Microsoft sent me a brand new one anyway so I already knew that wasn't the problem)

Game is fun as hell but I can't get through a full movie without it freezing and I have to start over again.

Your precious PC has freezing problems with L4D too.

:lol:

I went fishing and landed a biggun! :P

And as fer my PC, well I don't like it. At all anymore. First chance I get with $$$ and I'm getting a Mac. (My industry is all Mac anyhow.) Course, with my luck, Jobs, poor sod, dies of cancer when I get my Mac and the company and everything associated goes into the crapper.

Which reminds me. There must be a Mac emulator for the PC just like there's a PC emulator for the Mac. Must Google. MUST GOOGLE.
