Games you're playing right now, and my freetime's demise

[kibaxx7]

- Red Dead Redemption
- Bayonetta

Whatever games you buy, make sure you stick with them.

Dead Rising 2

[JaoSming]

Halo Reach for sure, Forge World is basically a huge Garry's mod

Definitely get or at least try Deadliest Warrior, LIMBO, Shadow Complex, and Trials HD on Xbox Live Arcade. All those = 1 retail game.

Dead Rising 2

Getting a PC release!

[shadowgrin]

Doesn't matter. If I had a 360, I would get both. 360 for the 'normal' play and the PC will be outfitted with mods I come across for the game.

[Lamrock]

JaoSming, How is Limbo? I know it got good reviews, but I'm not sure if its worth shelling out $15...

[JaoSming]

I loved it. While playing it I was very very happy shelling out 15 for it. It is really satisfying, simple, difficult and fuuuuucked up.

After I beat it I kinda have some buyers remorse looking at all the Rockband DLC I'm missing out on but I think I can get multiple play throughs with it and continue to replay it for a while.

Basically, no one will blame you for waiting (dont read spoilers but try the demo) for a sale, but it is definitely something to play sometime, kinda like portal. Everyone should at least play it once.

Picross 3D

[Jeffx]

Yup, that automatic shotgun with explosive rounds is pretty damn enjoyable, especially against cars or helicopters.

That explosive shotgun is my shit. You need it for Yusef's missions.

Went to Fry's and picked up Trials HD and Soul Calibur 4. Trials is pretty fun and extremely addicting, but I'm stuck on the third hard stage, and after 200+ restarts, gave up. Still looks like a great buy, and the level editor is fun. (retarded you can only share with friends though)

SC4 is just a fun game I've been meaning to pick up for a while. Good to have when people are over. Killed my Xbox Live rep a couple years ago. (Dominated the online circuit with Cervantes)

UPDATE: Beat that level of Trials, and about to finish Bronzing the Hard ones. I've only golded the Beginner levels, half of the Easy ones and the first Tournament. This game should last awhile.

[Oznogrd]

Lam if you wanna boost any multiplayer achievements lemme know sometime. Soul Calibur is still my favorite fighting series and 4 is great: but all i have left to do is buy items and win a bunch online (which is easier said than done and also killed my rep. People bitch too much about cheesing in fighting games. If you know what you were doing i wouldnt be able to cheese you motherfucker!)

I totally have everything in that game 100% Gold and mostly Platinum. So if you want help, before you go into the track, press Y i think to see the leaderboards, goto friends, find me, then press Y to watch my replay. It shows the controls for what I did and I dont do exploit moves like the top people on the leaderboards.

[Lamrock]

Yeah, I bet I'll need that. Had a hell of a time bronzing all of the hard tracks! Now I'm stuck on Brown Boxes. Made it to the final checkpoint and ended up getting 500 faults and failing. I want to cry. Its impossible to get up that fucking slope.

[Lamrock]

Also, have you downloaded the Big Pack? Is it worth 400 MSP?

[JaoSming]

got up early so I could get it at 5am when it is first available....so yea

2 more extreme tracks, and I think doubles the medium and hard tracks and doubles the skill tracks

if you get into building your own courses it is well worth it, or if you want to try other peoples courses

if you had issues with the base tracks, wait till you can gold most of them before going on to the big pack, but it is well worth the 5 bucks.

another pack is coming in the winter sometime

[Lamrock]

I'm having a hard time just golding the Medium tracks (and reached the 500 fault limit on the first Extreme track!). Intrigued by the track editor, but also overwhelmed (and underwhelmed that you can only share with friends)

[JaoSming]

well to good track makers of the community (the website evades me right now) are good with adding people quickly to let them download tracks and then run off kinda like what I did for Live 09 post draft rosters.

try my track, and kudos for sticking through it to the 500 limit, i got fed up and quit waaay before that

if you like the game then get the DLC, cause it is worth it and I still play the damn thing.

[Lamrock]

Tried your track. Loved the part where you rode on top of the glass. I went on Redlynxtrials and tried to add some people but their lists were all full. Oh well. (Perhaps I take 2KShare for granted!)

Definitely my new favorite XBLA game. Think I've already clocked as many hours as in Shadow Complex and Geometry Wars 2.

[hova-]

Got Doom 3 and played it a bit (at least it works on my crappy PC). Good atmosphere and decent graphics considering how old this game is.

[Lean]

Hitman: Blood Money all over again.

[kibaxx7]

Rented Transformers War for Cybertron and I liked it... might buy it next week And The Sims 3 and Singularity grabbing the rest of my free time...

[Lamrock]

Been on an Arcade jag lately. Been playing some Trials and Geometry Wars 2. Also got hooked on the Braid trial, so I may have to get some more points soon.

[Lamrock]

Downloaded Tiger Woods '10 for PSP. Very addicting, though also very easy, at least so far. Also got Split/Second from Gamefly, which was greatly exceeded my expectations so far. Great graphics and the gimmick is actually pretty cool. Not sure how much replay value it will have though... Then there's 2K10 as always.

[Axel The Great]

Bought NBA 10: The Inside for PSP. Very addicting. Too many mini-games to choose from. The gameplay is ok, but I'm tired of the AI making heavily contested threes.
