Any xbox experts here? My games keep freezing up-not always at the same spot. I get some flashing red lights as well...is this something that can be fixed?

Cigargal · 05-31-2009, 02:39 PM

from everything I read on line I have the fatal Three Rings of Death. I've had the unit for 4-5 years so no warranty. I ordered a new one-it is the new red one that has the Jasper chip in it-suppose to be the latest technology in Xbox. Bummer is-comes with a Resident Evil 5 game which I already have-So anyone want a new game???? I'll sell it maybe for 25$-how does that sound??

I haven't checked this thread in a while, but all I have to say is, 11-10-09 may be the best day of this year.

Been awhile since I checked in on this thread. Bunch of good games came out recently that i've been messin with:

infamous: fun, kinda like spiderman with electricity
Killing Floor: like a rough L4D, I like it
UFC: fun wrestling game
Punch Out: it's Punch out, if you own a wii and not this you suck
Plants vs Zombies: silly popcap game that helped me pass the time traveling. Like most popcap games, very addicting

Ah...still trying to play the last one...maybe the new box will get here tomorrow.

Lot's of biggies so far at E3. Two new Halo games, new Crysis, new Crackdown, L4D2, Alan Wake is not dead, and an awesome trailer for the new Star Wars game.

But you know what, brand new Monkey Island was easily the most exciting thing announced so far. A remake of the classic as well as a new episodic mininseries? Nostalgia overload!

Only caught Microsofts presentation yesterday, didn't see the other coverage. But no worries, DVR'd all E3 Coverage

Assassins Creed 2 is actually looking quite nice as well. Can't say I liked the first once much, but the demo showed quite a few improvements over the first. Kojima produced Castlevania also makes me happy!

Cigargal · 06-05-2009, 10:30 AM

I loved Assassin's Creed-except for the abrupt ending.

kaisersozei · 06-05-2009, 10:44 AM

Finally got enough juice on my PC (well, I really using my son's machine

...) to play Mass Effect. Cool game!

Mass Effect is an awesome game. Judging by what I saw from E3, Mass Effect 2 should be even better!

King James · 06-05-2009, 12:12 PM

I liked Assassin's creed and think if they improve some parts that AC2 is going to be awesome! Like cigargal said it ended rather quickly and I thought it was wayyyyyy too repetitive. Still really fun and the concept is great

Agreed. The pacing of the game is what killed me, there were stretchers of the game that felt like a chore.

On a side note, Steam is running a great weekend sale. Five bucks for the Penumbra collection, which is some of the scariest stuff on PCs!

Bought and loaded Assin's Creed before I realized it had console controls..... Any idiot who packages a freakin console game for the PC and doesn't take the time to remap the damn keys/mopuse for easier use than trying to hold down 3 to 4 keys at one time needs their finger nails pulled out 2 cm at a time until I get tired of listening to them scream. $$$ wasted.
