When your looking to buy a full subscription look on Ebay. it is usually
$20 cheaper than the regular cost I got a year subsription for 30bucks. After I won the auction the code was emailed to me that day.

Anyone else try this?

Yeah, that’s how I got my year subscription too + I got an extra month - $50 in total.

As long as the seller has a good rep then go for it.

Just checked, looks like the price is averaging about 35 bucks.

Bastards get everything cheaper too…it’s around £24 here.

Damn, isn’t that, like, $80 virtual dollars?

Virtual dollars? It’s about 2:1 for US$ to £.

No South Park?

Not for a long time…I need to buy some boxsets since I hardly watch tv anymore. I don’t even think we have any new episodes here.[/quote]

Sorry, I know this is late, but http://www.allabout-sp.net for all of your South Park needs.

Basically, which of the above games would you get if you could only pick one?

I would pick up The Orange Box first. 4 out of the 5 games included are single player focused, and have huge replay value with challenging achievements. Not to mention its one of the best FPS games around.

Too Human I like in the same way I like Dynasty Warriors and 99 Nights. In an hour of game play you can slaughter a couple thousand bad guys, and come away feeling like a bad ass.

Assassin’s Creed is another great single player that gets a bad wrap for being repetitive. The combat is awesome and surprisingly easy to work with. I could 30 minutes just traversing the city. And I never felt that the game was repetitive, even after rescuing every civilian in every city. Maybe its because I approached each fight with a different strategy which yeilded different outcomes. A very fun and immersive setting. With a big screen TV and surround sound some those base jumps made my balls tighten up a bit.

Bioshock and COD 4 are great single player FPS games. Though the single player campaign in COD 4 is a bit short it is very immersive. Halo 3 and GoW are great games made better with Co-Op and multiplayer. Plenty of shooting to be done on the 360. I also have Dead Space, but haven’t played it yet. Waiting on the new big screen TV, and waiting to play it late at night, alone in the dark.

Two great fighting games for the 360 is Ninja Gaiden II and Devil May Cry 4. Devil May Cry is like being inside anime. Both games can be punishing, but the new difficulty settings let average gamers succeed. Not quite as brutal on the gamer as they used to be.

Overlord is an entertaining piece of work that can be bought used for $10-15. Part strategy, part RPG, part adventure. You command a horde of minions to do your evil deeds with comical results. Entertaining, low stress game.

Xbox Live is $30 for 6 months or $50 for 12 months. If you are a subscriber to Netflix as well then in Novemember, when Live re-launches, you will be capable of streaming movies from Netflix thru the Xbox. I believe Showtime and Encore are getting onboard with the new system as well.

If you are setting up a network to include the Xbox then I reccomend using an eithernet cable to connect, especially with the new features coming up when Live relaunches. If you need to go the wireless route, then I suggest using an N or N1 router from Belkin. The wireless adapter for the Xbox is G-band I beleive, but g-band routers have limited ability to transmit thru multiple walls. If you are on a different floor or on the other end of the house from the router then a more powerful N/N1 router would be the better choice.[/quote]

Nice post.

Got Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows, I think it’s awesome but I love Venom (who could have looked better in it) and how could a game that has a symbiote wolverine in it not be IMMENSE! I also like how you can change the final outcome of the game based on a few ‘choices’ you make between the red or black suit in the game

Halo 3 is the only game I have really played in the past year or so. Oblivion was the only game I played for the first year I owned my xbox 360, both are very good and have immense playtime. I have logged 2000+ hours on each. Thats about $.03 per hour for the games, pretty cheap way to have fun.

Assasins creed was fun, but got repetetive for me. Also probably would have been less boring if I couldn’t kill 10 guards at a time. I mean I ended up just walking up and playing it like I was a barbarian or something, not an assasin. If I had died more, I probably would have made better use of the “avoid open conflict” aspects of the game.

I just got on live, Halo3 kicks ass.

106

Gears, and UT 3

107

It sucks how I got onto Halo 3 just in time for people to start on Gears 2.

108

Ha, Halo 2 on Live was enough for me, after a while it was so aggravating, unless my friends were on I just wouldn’t play at all. The little kiddies would drive me crazy.

Call of Duty 4 is still great.
As is Halo 3

I’m hearing great reviews on the
Call of Duty: World at War beta.

I really want Left for Dead, because I used to love all the old zombie mods on counter-strike and those types of games and that’s basically what LFD is…just a whole game based on zombie mod.

Gears 2 should be fun.

just got smackdown vs raw 09 it’s good

Send me gamertag and i’ll play online co-op with you. Nothing like a good hack & Slash and the animation is addicting. My roomate who has played a few times says to me the other day when I was playing. “you know I whistle and hum those tunes all day at work now, thanks”.

For the record, Me and roomie beat gears 2 in 2 days, it’s ok, but basically identical to the first game. Also the end boss fight is just plain old stupid. If the online play sucks as much as Gears 1 did (well in comparison to halo3) then it will be a wasted purchase. Luckily, roomie bought it not me, so I just won’t buy it.

That being said, I probably won’t even try online till we beat in on the hardest level. Also I won’t play it online till Castle Crashers releases my soul.

-Fable 2
amazing, playable even after you beat it (not starting over) just like fable 1. if you liked fable 1, you’ll love fable 2. if you didn’t, then this isn’t your #1 pick.

-Too Human
hated it. it’s gotten a lot of good reviews, I know, but I personally hated it. I beat it in one sitting, and while it’s fun to pick up all the different kinds of gear and trick your guy out, that’s pretty much all it’s good for. you pretty much have unlimited lives, only when you die you get sent back 100 meters or so.

-Star Wars Force Unleashed
amazing, I still play it. with all of the unlockable costumes and lightsabers, as well as the choice of missions to play after you beat it, it’s hard to get repetitive. storyline rocks, too, as does the AI. however, while it is one of the most environmental-interactive games, some things feel lacking, such as large trees can be destroyed but not small ones. it almost seems like they picked what you can and can’t break. :confused:

-Assassin’s Creed
great overall game. can keep you hooked for hours without even realizing it. only downside for me was the fact that you have to go so slow to not draw attention, and I’m more of a run-and-gun kind of guy. :stuck_out_tongue: I’d say it’s a mix of Hitman and Prince of Persia, with all of the good things, and few of the bad.

-Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
never played it
-Destroy all Humans 3
never played it
-Far Cry 2
never played it
-Unreal Tournament 3
never played it
-Half Life 2; Orange Box
never played it

hope I helped on what I did play. lol
