first impressions of fallout 3 are pretty good. Not very far into the game yet, but one thing I've noticed is you can get yourself in alot of trouble wandering around when you don't have very good guns. Haven't decided if I want to be a good or bad person yet, have only stole a few things so far :)

Found a good indie game while up in Syracuse this past weekend. Needed something to pass the time at night and my laptop has a suck ass video card. It's called Spelunky, it's a mad fun 8 bit platformer:

It's really very addicting!

:mad:

Well last night I found out that my 360's dvd drive is BROKE!!! DAMN IT! It won't read any games and the UI on NXE just says "open tray". After doing some research on the net to find out a cause it looks like the dvd drive has failed. So now I need to wait to get a return box, and then wait even longer for them to send me back a replacement 360 or drive (not sure which they'll do) So I've now experienced the RROR and dvd failure issues that xbox 360's are known for!

But I love my 360!!!:ss

I won't be gaming for a while. :mad:

I had to put Fallout 3 down for a while becuase I was playing it too much. I swithc to an xbox360 titles called Culdcept Saga..it is a CCG meets a board game...most of the battles take at least 1.5 hours..so much for less time playing games

Picked up the new Prince of Persia today-anyone play it yet?

Re: Games thread!
 

Not I... let us know how it is!

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep. Kind of a love/hate game for me, sold it a little while ago.

Re: Games thread!
 

I need a little help from anyone who owns an xbox 360 and uses live through a network (either wireless or wired). If you can PM me I would appreciate it.

Basically what I am trying to do is this:

I have two PC's, one desktop and one laptop. The laptop is on my wireless network and was connected to my xbox 360. However, because I kept downloading stuff onto my laptop HDD it was taking up a lot of space and so I'd like to actually connect my desktop (which has it's own HDD as well as an External attached to it) so I can use that to stream my music, movies, pics, etc. to my xbox.

The problem: My xbox only picks up my laptop through the wireless network and not my desktop. I have a cable modem connected to a linksys wireless router. The router is wired to the desktop through the port and the laptop just picks it up wirelessly. I am no good with computer networking and am looking for some help or advice on how to set this up.

My desktop is in a completely different room than my xbox which is in the living room with my big tv and surround so I can't just connect the desktop to the xbox through a wired connection (it would require too much wire and be a mess, plus I live in a condo and that's no an option to have a wire exposed).

I hope that made sense. If it didn't please let me know. Thanks for any help anyone has.

I have my Xbox live connected to my router wirelessly. I'm not in front of it right now, i'm not sure how they changed it with the NXE switch, but there used to be a connections section in the networking area. Just select your router when it pops up on available networks, input your password if you have one, and go.

I'm about an hour or so into it. It's a nice change of pace from what I usually play. The most annoying part for me is having to go collect the light seeds after you heal a land. I don't really like the back-tracking. Other than that... it seems pretty good.

Is little big planet still going well?

I'm playing through Brothers In Arms right now. The graphics are okay albeit a bit grainy and the some of the cut scenes are way too long for my liking. It's not a bad game overall though.

Re: Games thread!
 

indeed it is

Re: Games thread!
 

I just finished the main story line last night. Then I jumped online for a bit. I really like the built in party system. The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to "heart" levels and players while following someone else. If you're the leader, you can do it, but not if you're a follower.

Anyway, I guess I'll play through the level creation tutorials next and see what that's all about. :)

Re: Games thread!
 

I haven't tried creating any levels yet.... but do enjoy playing some of the online levels...especially the vehicle ones :)

Re: Games thread!
 

Hell's Highway? I didn't find the cut scenes near as annoying as Gears of War 2...I try to skip as many as possible...just hit the B button, I think.

Re: Games thread!
 

I liked Hell's Highway. i felt a little lost cause I didn't play any other BiA except for the first one (I definitely missed some story lol) but it was a fun game. It got pretty hard at the end, trying to grind through that game on authentic is damn near impossible!

Re: Games thread!
 

It was Hell's Highway and that's the only one I've played. I'm going to try my luck at authentic. But, I have a feeling it'll be like CoD on the hardest level and be almost impossible to beat like you said.

Re: Games thread!
 

I tried authentic and couldn't get anywhere without the sighting on the guns
