Apparently there is an indie game on XBL right now called FortressCraft: Chapter 1. It's pretty much Minecraft, without the harvesting of resources at the moment. The creator is planning on implementing that maybe later along with crafting, mining, minions, mine cart courses, and PVP combat? You also get to walk around as your XBL Avatar. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/FortressCraft-Chapter-1/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258550821

I've been digging on this game for about 2 weeks now and was thinking about, either finding a clan to join or starting one of my own. It'd be nice to kick it with some friends instead of a bunch of people I don't know. Just let me know if it sparks your interest.

Anyone want to play? Or some poker or something.

Downloaded it first thing this morning and played a few matches. It's sweeeeeeet. Some things though: -Retro Lancer and Hammerburst have WAAAAAAY too much recoil. -I like that the Retro Lancer does not have a chainsaw, and holding down the B button makes you charge at people and skewer them with the massive bayonet on the front of it. -Short range shotgun is overpowered. Granted it only has 4 or 5 shots and is a single shot weapon, it's beast and almost guaranteed instakill. Anyone else playing it yet? I'll be on later tonight probably once I get some errands done.

http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Protocol-Xbox-360/dp/B001D25M1Q/ref=pd_sim_vg_2 Seriously. $12. Go buy it now. It's an awesome effing game despite the poor reviews. I'm so sad that they didn't/won't make a sequel. They give us a sequel to Kane & Lynch and NOT this game? Travesty I tell you. TRAVESTY! P.S. Steven Heck is one of the best and funniest NPCs EVER. Just don't call him Steve.

Hit up the Social Club section within the game from the main menu, enter your Social Club login information, and you will automatically unlock Cole Phelps' snazzy Chicago Lightning Suit. This Social Club members-only exclusive outfit can be worn at any point in the game after you've become a detective (following the Patrol desk cases) and will improve your accuracy when using a shotgun or machine gun. A very helpful extra edge in ability for those cases when heavy firepower is required. http://www.rockstargames.com/lanoire/socialclub/
