Matt Young 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I don't even know if I have that achievement or not, but I'm down for some TMNT, Great game, and I haven't played it since maybe January. I don't play my arcade games much. I need to go back to SOTN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 I posted this in the Mass Effect thread, but since I talked about it somewhat on Xbox Live with Agent Bond and Canadian Guitarist and figured you all might want to get in on it: From the Target ad for June 8-14 (NEXT WEEK): XBOX 360 Games: Ninja Gaiden II >>>> $59.99 ++++ Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 >>>> $39.99 ++++ Lights… Camera …. Action….

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 On Crackdown, does anyone know how to turn the gangs on/off? You're supposed to have the option after beating all of the gangs, but I don't see it anywhere. edit- Nvmind, evidently there's a boss I forgot in an earlier level.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I still haven't played Gears, but my friend is going to let me borrow it as soon as I get back into my own place and have my HDTV set up. I'm at my parents right now and they only have an SDTV. I want to enjoy Gears in all it's glory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I'm buying it next week at $40. It's actually $40 now, but that deal I posted allows me to get a free game. So yay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 Gears is actually $35 on Amazon today, eligible for free shipping too. I was thinking about finally picking it up last week, so I'm glad I got lazy and waited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broward83 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 So..I checked out Ninja Gaiden 2 today from work. Game is amazingly beautiful and fun to play. Even on the "path of the acolyte" aka easy, its still got a bit of a challenge as I just got smoked by Genshin. The claws so far have brought me the most enjoyment when obliterating fallen foes.

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 Ninja Gaiden looks cool. I loved the NES games. But I'm very wary of putting $60 toward a game I know nothing about, which got good but not great reviews, and I haven't even played the Xbox version. But I guess I differ from most people in that I am much more interested in Lego Indiana Jones than badass ninja action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanna see some nifty blood spatter in the midst of getting my ass kicked. The first time I got the brush off, with the Iron Man demo, I didn't care so much.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 Based on the demo (and a scan of EGM's review), I'm not sure how DBZ Burst Limit is any different then, say, Budokai 3 (which covered every arc), but damn does it flow nicely and look pretty on a 360 in HD.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 I love the logic at work here. Hm, there are folks who aren't inclined to spend the money to be always connected with XBL gold. How could we get them to spend some of that money? Oh yeah, not let them play a free demo of a game that might make them more likely to go out and purchase the game sooner if they like it a lot. Brilliant! I had Gold for a year but found that I barely used it for actual online play. So, meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
