Nice. Once I found out about Crackdown; I didn't care about being accepted, so I didn't even waste my time trying for that "Rule of Three" entrance method. I'm already locked in by purchasing a sweet ass game.

Anybody with a 4-year business or marketing degree; Nintendo posted a new job to become the Wii Channel Team Leader.

I can merely dream....

Man, its hard finding decent players to play with online. :/

All, I want is to complete Gear's campaign on Insane mode without having to play with an idiot player. :I

Maybe I'll play with ya, sometime. I've been trying to finish finding the GOSH DARN FRIGGEN agility orbs on Crackdown; I'm up to 483 out of 500.

Oh....and MLB "The Show" 07 rocks.

The only thing I hate about the 360 is that it wont play certain original xbox games, like Brothers In Arms. Which also happens to be ony of my favorite games to play. I mean, it'll play Barbies Adventures but when it comes to a kickass game like BIA, its not even compatible! >:O

The "spring update" is coming soon, and with it (hopefully) is a spring update to the backwards compatibility list.

I know what ya mean. It took until the LAST UPDATE (the fall of '06) for my favorite xbox game (Indigo Prophecy) to be added.

I'm still waiting for "True Crime: Streets of NY" to get added.

You should have a great night. I only played the demo of FEAR but it seemed decent.

Crackdown rocks. I love it. Graw 2....I haven't played, but its cuz I'm not a huge fan of the Tom Clancy games.

I'm hoping to pick up MLB 2k7 and Guitar Hero II before the end of the weekend.

Just gotta make sure I get the right guitar to GH2; apparently one of the two is reporting a lot of whammy bar issues.

Well, Crackdown is disappointing. :I

I have a lot of fun with Crackdown, it's fun just running around looking for stuff. Unfortunately the actual missions and bosses aren't innovative or that fun.

Yeah....the missions are beat. The system they used to upgrading is pretty fun.

Hell, I can spend hours just looking for the hidden and agility orbs. That's good fun.

There's supposedly an update on the way......that's going to add some new multiplayer "types".....so we'll see; Crackdown might get really fun here, soon.

Meh, I'll giver'er another go later tonight after I try tthe others games out.

Oh yeah, is getting FInal Fantasy XI worth the money?

Dunno. I lost flavor for FF after FF3 on the SNES.

Actually, I'm gonna buy it for my DS next week. I loved FF3.

Gamespot leaked the "reported" footage of the next 360 dashboard update.

Its gonna have the ability to add your Live Messenger friends, and you'll be able to IM through "Live".

Also....the marketplace gets its own blade; upping the blade count to 5. The marketplace blade will have its own background; seperate from the skins.

Downloading becomes faster. Also has an auto-shutoff ability added.

Oh....and unlocking achievements will now tell you what you unlocked; not just say "achievement unlocked".

Besides a badass vampire, wtf is blade?

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 4/8/2007, 5:41 am

blades are the multiple pages on your 360 dashboard. how you can page through left to right etc...

as for ffxi, it's really repetitive. My brother was subscribed for a while and is now taking a break because he wants to play other games and that was taking up way too much of his time. He liked it, but I wasn't really a fan.

If you're going to play a FF, don't play an MMO!

I still don't count 11 as a true FF. Stick with the real series for your epic adventures (I'm playing X at the moment)

I actually kicked a few asses last night on Gears. :nod:

I stilled died frequently, but I wasnt the player will the lowest kill count!

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 4/12/2007, 3:57 am

nice work dude!

also if you still have crackdown, collect the agility orbs, when your agent isn't low leveled the game is more fun
