Deathspank is out on X360 and PS3. Buy it, it's from Ron Gilbert who is the guy behind the two original Monkey Island games. And Deathspank is awesome :tu

Anyone else here playing StarCraft 2? Apoco / code: 738 here =)

Madden 11 rocks! The intro by Drew Brees is awesome! Love the new "gameflow" play calling, and the commentary by the "coordinators".

Re: Games thread!
 

Just bought Lit for Wii (Wiiware). Pretty good game.:tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Fallout New Vegas, just another hundred and twenty or so hour of inside jokes sweet main story and perhaps even some shameless bobble-head finding action.

Re: Games thread!
 

I got Halo 3. More of the same.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm with ya! I reinstalled Fallout 3 to play through it again before New Vegas hits.

Re: Games thread!
 

I got distracted by life and never finished Fallout 3 (was at about 70%). Picked that back up again last week to finish up before Fallout New Vegas. I have the Collector's Edition pre-ordered at Best Buy, I'm pretty excited! :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

I think I need to grab Halo Reach. Most of my friends are on it all the time.

Anyone played it yet?

Re: Games thread!
 

My friend is coming over tonight with his copy so my roommate and I can play it a bit before we decide to purchase it or not. We're both big gamers, but haven't played any of the Halo series. Most of our FPS games are played on the PC w/ a keyboard and mouse, lol

Re: Games thread!
 

Played the rest of the Halo games and played the demo of Reach on xbox live.

Re: Games thread!
 

Yep, I meant to say Reach higher up in the thread. It's Halo, single player in underwhelming but the multiplayer is solid.

Re: Games thread!
 

Might have to buck up and grab the game. I enjoyed the past 4 player co-op in the Halo games.

Re: Games thread!
 

I like the firefight mode better in Reach than I did in ODST. Good fun :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone have the PS3 fallout GOTY disc 2 I can borrow? I will pay shipping to and from and include a few goodies for the trip back!

Re: Games thread!
 

4 days of being able to play later (Fallout 3 has some funky issues with Windows 7. Took about 3 hours to get it up and running), I have sunk in 20 hours. I have no self control :D

PS - Yes, I work full time.

Re: Games thread!
 

I have been playing Nhl11. Biding my time until New Vegas :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

I've been playing MW2 fairly consistently for the last 8 mos. Just biding my time until Black Ops comes out :D

BTW, I'll be playing some Team Deathmatch tonight around 11pm AZ time if anybody is on. PS3 handle Lascivious777

Re: Games thread!
 

Downloading the Civ5 demo right now...

Re: Games thread!
 

Too late for my blood! East Coaster here, plus MW2 has gotten a little repetitive to me, even with the map packs. Anytime you play a map it is the same as the last time you played it. People go to the same places through the same routes and the maps IMO don't allow for much variety in that.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm a big fan of making it my own little game. I vary up my routine and try and "hunt" down as many enemy players as I can. It absolutely sucks for my kill/death ratio but I don't really care about that. I just have fun trying to outwit other players and die the least amount of times as possible. I'm not that great at the game but damn I have a good time.

What is really fun is when I'm sometimes surprised by someone who varies their routine as well and you see something totally new and unexpected. I can see how it could get boring for some though. Run and gun seems to be the MO of the hour.

Re: Games thread!
 

for COD I love doing the challenges...I don't care for the K/D ratio at all...:D

Re: Games thread!
 

Dead Rising 2!

Re: Games thread!
 

I didn't even know it was out! Civ 5 for me right now.

Re: Games thread!
 

Civ 5 looks awesome, but I need to upgrade my laptop before I can play it without scroll lag :(

Dead Rising 2 is amazing... the combo weapons are great! The US release isn't until... thursday? We get it a week before you :P

Re: Games thread!
 

How does it compare to the first Dead Rising?


Been playing Halo Reach.

Re: Games thread!
 

Didn't play Dead Rising too much, but gameplay seems much improved, and I don't have to take sodding photos!

Re: Games thread!
 

I think it releases here Tuesday. I liked the first Dead Rising (except for Otis) i'll have to pick it up after work.

Civ 5 is pretty sweet. I have it on my work laptop, helps those slow days at the office really fly :D

Re: Games thread!
 

I am off today and am planning a bit of a MW2 marathon. Anyone want to play?

Re: Games thread!
 

Any borderland Champs out there for the 360?
(will be getting *live in a few days and will be on frequently)

Re: Games thread!
 

I use to play a lot of Borderlands Sam. Got a couple different leveled characters.

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone playing Fallout New Vegas? I only have about 3 hours in but I am loving it, although some those creatures are impossible to kill at early levels.

Re: Games thread!
 

yah buddy! its been so long I have no idea who i used to exactly play with. I just downloaded the DLC General content and need a hand on whoopin down!:su

Re: Games thread!
 

I got a maxed out sniper and a mid ranged siren. Handle is poutyscottbaio.

Re: Games thread!
 

Picked up Fallout New Vegas at midnight on Monday. Have played a few hours so far and enjoy it a lot!

I used to play Borderlands a ton as well, but on the PC, not the 360. I'm excited about the new DLC that's coming! :noon

Re: Games thread!
 

I want to play new vegas so badly. Fallout 3 was my fantastic game. If new vegas is even HALF as good, it will be awesome.

Re: Games thread!
 

The new Castlevania is pretty sweet. I'm sure it's going to get lost im the sea of great releases but if your a fan of action/platform type games give it a try. Some awesome boss fights :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

I picked up Fallout: New Vegas on Monday, I only have about five hours in and just hit level six. I'll be playing this for the next several months. :r

Re: Games thread!
 

UGH That game is EPIC frustrating. No direction, stupid time limits on everything. I gave up, you can't even have fun. Constant searching for zombrex which is all HIDDEN god why??

Game gave me a headache.

EDIT also saving in that game....MY GOD you start 30 minutes - 1 hour back.....AWFUL.

Re: Games thread!
 

Just kill things. grab a shotgun, broad sword/axe, and a few combo items and kill things. enjoy.

Re: Games thread!
 

i've got my eye on the new civilization v. i'm a civ junkie, can't seem to get enough of that game. i love it because you can customize it to be a short game, or make it last for hours and hours and each time you play it the game is different. highly recommend it for folks who like games like simcity mixed with risk.

Re: Games thread!
 

If you open your watch and select a quest it will arrow you towards your objective. And if you can't find zombrex you can just buy it at the pawn shop.
The bigger question is why worry, the story sucks, it's all about mindlessly killing zombies in fun and creative ways. The moment I duck taped a pitchfork to a shotgun I knew the game was going to be absolutely absurd.

Two big new releases today, Fable 3 and Force Unleashed 2.

Re: Games thread!
 

I'm avoiding buying this game. I think I need to get a new laptop and then this game can maybe start happening on the train. The original is why I started gaming in the first place, and it's a slippery slope, not dissimilar to some other slopes you may be familiar with.

I must admit that I chuckled a little seeing your comparison to simcity. simcity is multiple orders of magnitude below Civ in terms of complexity. It's like comparing reading a single day of a newspaper comic strip to reading the Lord of the Rings.

Re: Games thread!
 

For anyone playing Fallout: New Vegas on 360, maybe you can help.

I am idolized by the Boomers inside Nellis AFB. As soon as I attempt to exit or re-enter via the gate I am blown to ****. I'm not wearing NCR armor, I don't know what's up.

Anyone?

Re: Games thread!
 

I am convinced it's a glitch, but I got around it. All is well.

Re: Games thread!
 

Anyone out here playing LOTRO? If so, I play on the Riddermark server.

Re: Games thread!
 

Well, I renewed WoW. It is a hell of a lot of fun, and I set the parental controls on my own account to only let me play for 3 hours in any given day. Sometimes I need help managing myself :D

Re: Games thread!
 

Assassins Creed brotherhood is pretty awesome.If you like either of the first two games, pick this one up, much improved combat system :tu

Re: Games thread!
 

I just tried playing assassins creed the first one. My god this game is stupid and annoying. I hear the second one is better but I want to hear the story behind the first one.

Beat dead rising 2, darksiders and CoD Black Ops. What is the deal lately with games that annoy the piss out of you intentionally? I just want a good story line that moves you through the game, not to be confused/messed with for 15 hours of gameplay.

Black Ops - 5 hours of campaign play.....disappointed, liked MW2 much better. Stupid flashy strobe is headache heaven.
Darksiders - 16 hours of nonstop puzzles and annoyance. The last 2 bosses were give mes.
Dead Rising 2 - 14 hours of way too many zombies that spawn out of nowhere. Piss poor AI and time limits (the most annoying conceivable thing possible to put in a game)

I find most games are easily beatable and offer VERY little playing time. 5-15 hours is unacceptable.
