The mod I used most was the TNG Mod for SFC III by Chris Jones. It had like 300 ships...

I'm sure when you asked that question, the bullshit I'm about to type didn't come to mind, but you're getting it anyway!

Catan (XBLA): incredibly fun board game that inspires the same hatred for the computer AI that Uno does. Nothing like calling Sun Tzu a **** because he rolled a 7 and then played a Monopoly card, taking all of your wool and crippling your ability to build a settlement or buy a development card.

Pinball FX (XBLA): one of my top 3 favorite XBLA games. I think the ball weight feels a little off, but everything else is so well done that it plays great. My one complaint would be that there aren't enough tables. It comes with 3, and one is a complete waste of time.

Crackdown: I love the game, but I'm glad to be completely done with it. 1250/1250 achievement points, with the orb noise at one point taking up so much room in my head that I'd hear it when not even playing Crackdown.

Earth Defense Force 2017: I really liked this game, up until I started playing on Inferno, the hardest difficulty. I'm a "completionist," so while I'm having zero fun playing the game, I'm compelled to finish it just to be one of the hundred or so people that have beaten it legitimately.

Guitar Hero II: I felt like King Shit of **** Mountain after destroying Medium, but Hard is an entirely different beast. You quickly realize that the jump from Easy to Medium isn't as large as Medium to Hard. I've hit a wall about 5 tiers into it, but I still play YYZ religiously, trying to master it. It's my GHII "Cowboys from Hell."

Eets Chowdown (XBLA): This is a Lemmings-esque puzzler that is actually less entertaining than the mini game that comes with the game, Marsho Madness. I guarantee Klei Entertainment would've made much more money had they released Marsho Madness for $5 seperately.

Halo 3 Beta: I love the game, and hate the people that play it. Fortunately, Bungie made muting idiots a breeze, but that doesn't solve all of the problems.

There isn't much to say about it, other than it's Halo 2 but better. Less autoaim, better weapon balance, so on and so forth. My major complaint is that the Warthog can take far too much damage. If you have a capable gunner and a driver that doesn't stop, you can torment the other team without much recourse. The best option is to be burdened with carrying a plasma pistol so you can disable the engine.

I will say though, last night I got into a custom game and it was a BLAST. The amount of variables you can change is amazing, from player weight & speed, to what damage weapons do, shield levels, etc. I played a Slayer match on Valhalla that was basically an Unreal Tournament match. We were running around at Mach 5, floating through the air sniping each other.

Forza 2: I've only put a few hours into it, but I really like it.

'Mad Tricks" on xboxlive is a great damn game. Your like a hotwheel on a race track mixed with a little Mario Kart action. Great game, Me and a bud of mines were playing on xboxlive til about 2am lastnight.

[Ultra Peanut]

Holy God, Forza is ****ing fun.

And I'll never do anything more than suck at making paint jobs, but it's still an enjoyable experience.

The demo for NCAA Football 08 is rumored to be released on July 10. The game comes out on July 17. Here are top 25 team rankings and impact players:

Hopefully it does come out the 10th. It's definitely coming out next week, along with many other games, due to E3.

I know Ace Combat 6's demo has been confirmed, and I'm really looking forward to it.

[kcxiv]

I downloaded the Overlord Demo, game seems kind of fun, but i dont have much cash right now, and what i got i am saving for APF2k8 on the 17th.

I wanna get Forza and Top Spin 2. Demo was a blast for both of them games.

[htismaqe]

[JBucc]

The NCAA demo is supposed to drop and 4 in the morning tomorrow, or so they say. Is 2k gonna release a demo?

[kcxiv]
