I said i wasnt feeling the camera angle. I said i am also skeptical about europeans making an american football game.

I may end up breaking down and buying it on release day. Depends on how the demo is. All i need is about 1 quarter playing the game and i can tell if its a first day purchase or not.

The passing mechanics of the game is innovative and genius. I have no problems saying kudos to a company that does something i like. I would do the exact same for EA football, but there isnt anything for me to give kudos about.

And thats what football games need, something hard, something different. Simulation at its finest. QB's have to make the same reads. Its a good thing.

I'm the exact same way. Only buy solid MP games, sports/racing and legendary releases (Mass Effect, GTA, etc).

Kind of a random question but with NCAA and Madden both dropping soon just wanted to know if any CPers participated in online Dynasties, Franchises, etc.???

I'm getting into an NCAA Online Dynasty on another site...didn't know if we'd have enough players on here to do one, same with Franchise in Madden.

omfg. Alan Wake is awesome. Just finished Episode 1.

Did you watch the live action shows from the official site? sorta a prequel to the game.. was some very spooky shit.

Backbreaker demo is out. ITs missing something, butlet me tell you, the interaction between the players and the tackles are a thing of beauty and EA isnt even freaking close to it.

Backbreaker is very very very close for me to say, ok, 2K you been outdone. Not there yet, but thing runs so damned smoooth and looks awesome.

Backbreaker is freakin hard. Fun though

Is the Halo Reach beta over?

Backbreaker Engine is something sort of a revolution it's amazing it's fun btw the cameras are f'n frustrating as hell

Yes.

Thought so. My 11 year old tried to get into it like he always had and couldn't.

No one else playing Alan Wake? Finished up episode 2 last night.

I'll be starting Alan Wake this weekend

Nice. I'm gonna check out the prequels when i'm done w/ the game.

From what I read it takes about 1-2 hours for each episode, and there are a total of 6 episodes.

My advice...start the game on Nightmare. You will need to play on Nightmare to get all the manuscript pages anyways, and I started on Normal, and it is not at all challenging.

What? The episodes are about 6 minutes each. Really, really creepy " www.brightfalls.com "
How's the combat? Does it get repetitive?

ROFL

Sorry - the game episodes are 1 to 2 hours each, not the prequels.

The combat is definitely not the crux of the game. It's repetitive, but there isn't enough of it.

Just played through episode one.

I'm really digging the atmosphere. The manuscript pages can get intense.

about Alan Wake episode 2

Rumors abound! Natal to cost $149.99?

**** Natal and **** the wand and **** the Wii. I don't ever want to play with anything else except the Xbox controller (or a steering wheel for racing games).

There you go with your bitching about controllers again. Save it for folks who haven't used an Atari Jaguar controller, pizda.

I don't know how reliable any source on that could be

LMAO

Same. Can't wait until E3.

Side note: I never understood what your avatar or username meant, until I started watching Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! last week. Holy hell, that is hilarious.

I think that makes 3 of us that get it
;)
welcome to the club

Hulu coming, biotches.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/02/ru...p-in-red-tape/

That'll be pretty cool, but only if it's free, which I doubt it will be...

That may be the holdup. Last.fm and netflix have the same pricing structure on both the 360 and the internet (i.e., basically free), the networks probably want to charge.

Seems these game systems are becoming more and more "all in one" type devices. TV, Movies, Games, DVD's, BluRay, NetFlix.....soon web browsing (which I think PS3 already has). Eliminates all devices but it....

I already get Hulu on all three of my consoles.

Anyone play NHL 10 on Live? Let me know, I'll friend you and we can have a game.

We're the only ones on this board playing this game.
Add me. Quikies83

I'm hoping the quality improves over my current, barely watchable feed from TVersity.

Playon

Gotcha. I'll be on for a few hours here and there from now. Hit me up whenever you feel like it.

Anyone wanna do some BF with the ol' boy?

BC2? Gotta say NHL10 and RDR has dominated my time but I bought BC2 a day before and I do like it a lot actually. I'll have to friend you and will definitely have a game sometime, not today though.

For those playing/have played Alan Wake somewhat in to Chapter 4...

Good deals on points/XBL cards

My two youngest kids love the "Lego" series that has been out. Next up....Lego Harry Potter - man they are looking forward to it.

Just played the demo - they loved it.

Is it the same setup as Lego INdy 2? Because that sucked.

Not sure. They didn't get that one. How was it different from Star Wars/Batman?

It's not linear. They would have you do everything in one big room and then move to another big room. It was annoying.

Based on the demo I'm not sure. There was a room you had to do a bunch of stuff, but they moved around quite a bit.

Just downloaded it tonight. It looks like a hybrid of both concepts now. Not really sure if I like it or not. I'll wait to see what the kids think.

Hulu is being announced next week (June 14) and will be subscription. Which is cool with me, assuming they stream in HD.

good thing I have Playon. No fees for me.

I downloaded the Transformers: War for Cybertron multiplayer demo. LOVE IT. I wasn't really expecting to like it either. It's like COD, HALO and GOW all wraped up in one game. But they nailed the controls, I love how you can transform on the fly, each class has different special abilities you can try. I can't wait now, I wasn't gonna buy this and I had no intentions to buy it, but I was bored yesterday and tried out some demo's and I'm pretty impressed by the gameplay of this. Plus, I was a pretty big Transformers fan when I was a kid and this is a damn good game.

I guess I'll have to try it then.

That is the game I'm looking forward to the most.

Project Natal..I dub thee, "KINECT!"

Sony/Tiny are excellent marketers, but Kinect > Move/Arc.

And just as gimmicky and worthless.

LMAO

yeap

i want the new model of the x360, its about time my shit red rings anyways. Its should be anytime now.

Product-wise? or by name.


MAn, the media are blasting the hell out of MSFTs Spaceponcho fest AND the keynote.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Guess I will have to watch the entire thing to see what you are talking about. I only caught bits and pieces today. That playing with a tiger game looked dumb as hell though.

Name only. Neither product is out, so it's hard to compare (although I suspect both with be more precise and responsive than the Wii).

Good game Q. Close game. 2 pretty whack goals and none of us could score in the shootout. Were you getting any lag? At first it was almost unplayable for me. Thankfully it got better, though still noticeable on offensive dekes and stuff. Not sure if it's the EA servers or the distance between us.

Next time let's roll with 2 awful goalies. Turco and Halak were stoning everything.

It was a very good game. I was getting some lag in the 2nd period. The first period was smooth as silk on my end though.
Send me a game invite next we're both on.

haha, so i got temporarly banned for my bio saying turn off your ****ing porn torrents when gaming. I have had that up for like a year, and i now get a suspension?

lol, really? suspend me for 2 days? hmmm gotta be shitting me.

ouch. somebody got butthurt and turned you in. ROFL

i know who it was, i just got done playing some dude in All Pro football he was like 600wins and 70 losses and i beat him 28-24. He was the last dude i played. He was like ranked number 2 or somecrap.

Luckily, i after 4 years, i can make a new gamer profile and get 1 month free. So **** you MS, i am back.

New temp gamertag is kcxivcali. hah

How long is the ban for?

lol, 2 days. its like why even bother? lol

Guess you learned your lesson huh? Punk!!! ROFL

lol, i cant even log in to change my bio. So stupid.

You know what will really suck - is if you anytime in the past year since you added it went in and saved your profile, it will be another infraction and another suspension. So if you saved your profile 4 times over the last year without removing it, they can (and might) suspend you another 3 times.

I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to the new 360..... would be nice to have some HD space, unlike my current 20gb model.

I saw that online last night. Looks pretty ****ing sweet. If I weren't going through a move and all, I'd be getting one.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll be trading mine in as well.

Mine's 2.5 years old with some solid playtime, so that's another factor.

Not that I have an n-router, but do you think that would make a difference with lag? I MF'ing hate lag deaths.

Same here. Never had any issues with it but now that I said that, I'm sure it'll take a shit. When is the new one coming out?

July 16, supposedly.

I like how they took the red ring out of the new one.

Prolly a good pr move on their part.

Any suggestions on how to red ring my current 360? I have a 3 year in store replacement warranty on it so i'd like to get a new one.

Hairdryer aimed at the back of it while running a game?
