Yeah, switchball looks like fun. Definitely worth the 800 points that it will cost.

Everyone who got into the CoD4 multiplayer demo needs to die and go to hell and burn!

I'm jealous beyond all jealousy.

I dig it. Ant and I have been playing it quite a bit. It gets a little frustrating at times and it's not a perfect game, but I totally dig it.

Played the hell out of skate. and now I'm on to The Orange Box. Team Fortress is a fun multiplayer. I haven't jumped in to Half-Life yet [don't know much about the game]. I LOVE Portal. I'm a fan of brainteasers and puzzles. This little game is VERY well thought out and satisfyingly maddening.

I bought The Orange Box for the PC, and played TF2 pretty much all day, until I went back to Halo 3.

The orange box is quite possibly the best assembly of games ever...

Conan looks terrible.

I'll probably rent Naruto, Area 51, and The Simpsons.

It's a God of War clone.

But, I'm too huge of a fan of Conan to pass up on the game...

I dont have a 360 atm, just a Wii, which is amazing btw. Only thing bad about it is a lack of "hardcore" games. But the motion control is amazing.

Rented it. Just got done with what I'm going to do with it. It's fun but it hurts my arm/hand after awhile. I beat it on medium getting 5 stars on everything. I can live with myself. I'm still not done with Orange Box, and I'm interested in COD4 so...

I'm picking up CoD4 for sure next week. Looks like a great game.

I passed on Orange Box for the 360, and instead got it for the PC.

If anyone has xbox live please send a request to KiN Supremecy. I mostly play Rainbow Six, Shadow Run, Team Fortress, and sometimes Halo 3. Peace out.

I bought an Xbox 360 with my own money, which was satisfying. And yeah, The Orange Box is cool, but I keep getting stuck! Havent had a chance to play Team Fortress or Portal yet though.

GTA anyone? I'm totally going at midnight. I had some commercials to shoot on Monday that fell through. The first thing I thought was, "Well, more room for some GTA, son!"

I got my GTA4, so you know I'm down. Except I'm not going on Xbox Live for a day or two so I can at least focus on getting the entire map unlocked.

I've been playing it for the past...6 hours or so. I must say...it truly is a wonderful game.


On a side note, I'm not a big fan of the driving mechanic. It seems you can't do any sort of turn without losing control.

And for shits:

Wow, that's a pretty big box.
What extras does the special edition have?

Would you say they've tried to make the driving more realistic?

Actually yes. Driving is really realistic now. It's just so realistic it's really hard to make turns now, and it gets quite annoying, lol.

This is what the box came with:

- Security Deposit Box

- GTAIV game

- Music of GTAIV CD

- Duffel Bag

- Artwork of GTAIV booklet

- Some weird type of keychain/necklace thing

Amazing game. Still getting used to the controls. Technically very impressive. I can't wait to really get into the story.

As a funny GTA4 related story, I was playing until about 7 a.m. in the morning, when I got to quite a long cut scene. Well, I actually fell asleep during the cut scene, and I'm just now waking up 3 hours later.

I thought it was funny. I'm upset because I have a lot of crap I have to do during the next 2 days which is going to really cut into my GTA4 time.

Ok you 360 dorks...I need advice. Asked for a 360 after doing some web work for someone and instead he dropped $600 in my lap and told me to enjoy my 360. I have no fancy TV so not sure if the Elite is worth the extra $100. One friend says I should still get in and another tells me to use the $100 I would save on games/accessories.

The other thing I am wondering is if any place ever does bundle deals where you can save a few bucks when you buy it instead of the system and games seperate?

Someone did mention a possible price drop early this summer and pointed me to an article that mentioned this may happen due to the fact the sales have leveled off because of the current price. So I may wait a month and see if I hear more on this.

They don't have many bundles to my knowledge. You probably won't fill up the normal harddrive and the only other thing past that is HDMI for a "fancy" tv. I'd skip the Elite for now. Price drop? Not sure. Haven't heard.
