Also 162 games is ridiculous.

Even 82 for hockey is insane.

The only manageable sport on a game console is football really.

No way. NBA 2K11 is awesome. Best sports game I've ever played. My Player FTW!

Also I'm having a lot of fun with Fight Night Champion too. Boxing works well on game consoles. None of you nerds will step to me. None of you.

Baseball and Football are the two sports games I've actually never liked playing.

Anybody play the new Mortal Kombat demo? It's classic MK, with updated graphics, and the gameplay is perfect: vintage arcade/SEGA Genesis. There's only 4 characters in the demo, but my roommate and i were murdering each other for a good hour+.
All the great characters are back (with some not so great...), and from the look of things, they've redesigned the all old stages (Pit, Acid, Woods with creepy tree-faces, etc) with the stage fatalities. The Might challenges are making a return, too.

I'm really excited about multiplayer.

My 360 is THIS close to giving out.

Won't read discs. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy another one. I'm hoping I can get it going on a good stretch where it works so I can trade it into gamestop and get some cash for it before it becomes a complete brick.

It's like losing a family member.

just pawn it. you might get more for it than at gamestop. i've done that with a few family members and it's worked out well.

Stefen · March 29, 2011, 02:15:04 AM

That's a good idea, too. I'll look into it. Only thing is I don't want to dick someone over by trading in a console that's pretty close to never working again. At least if I trade it to Gamestop they send it in to be checked out before they put it out for sale.

Pas · March 29, 2011, 08:05:55 PM

DON'T do that. Geez! what an asshole thing to do, Reinhold! It's not because you use a middle man that you are not actually selling a broken Xbox to an excited kid.

Gamestop will have a waranty and shit, you're not completely fucking the kid over. Just a bit.

it's only an asshole thing to do if you hide the condition of the system. also, kids are not the only people who buy these things.

Pleeeeeaassee... Tell the pawn shop guys your Xbox is semi-dead and he'll just give you less for it and sell it for the same price he would have otherwise. Don't be naive about that.

Also screwing over adults is hardly better than screwing over kids. Besides, even grown men get excited like kids around these things.

exxxcited about L.A. Noire! will be bought after this masterpiece Red Dead Redemption is completed which at my slow pace and limited time to play it and lack of being an expert gamer like you fools probably wont be till some time in two zero one two.

also, Shift 2 Unleashed looks like an awesome racecar game. i'm kind of a gamer now, guys.

Stefen · April 02, 2011, 03:24:14 PM

So what's the deal with L.A. Noire? Is it going to be a sandbox game like Red Dead Redemption or is it going to be more linear like Heavy Rain?

I still haven't finished the single player in Red Dead Redemption. Every time I try I end up just riding around on my horse, lassoing nuns, hog tying them, then placing them on train tracks.

Linear missions in an open world.

Same boat here. Been loving Red Dead.

I have a stack of games to play after I finish this (Arkham, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, and Bioshock), but by the time I'm done with it, LA Noir will be out and I'll probably just jump to that.
