Hey all, Anyone having issues with Xbox Live these days? For the past few months I have been getting random disconnects. Right after getting disconnected I can reconnect no prob and it stays up for a bit then disconnects agin. I have been trying everything under the sun to try and improve this. Doing google searches. I have been getting the following. 1. If I have been idle or away (this seems like it could be normal but not sure). 2. Right in the middle of a download from the marketplace. Happens on almost every single download whether it is a demo or game purchase, etc. It gets about halfway done and bam disconnected. 3. Right in the middle of a single player game. For …

So, you could own an Xbox 360 that has been modded to include an arc reactor just like Tony Stark wears. Check out the Ebay auction for lots of pics and the Gizmodo video of it turning on. Not sure if it shows the red lights if it craps out or not though. <br> <br> <br> <br> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="347" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/619e6ce9" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="fake=1"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com…

WTFudge is up with the servers? They are absolutely horrible right now!

I know there is a thread in the XBLA section, but I feel the need to make another one. THIS GAME RULES. Wow, I can't say it enough. I love the class-based system. I love how anyone can build/upgrade various turrets so it's almost like a Tower Defense game. I love the humor. I love earning money in-match to upgrade my skills (kind of like Shadowrun or Counterstrike). I love shooting the Mascot as he's dancing around the Arena to earn some extra loot. And it's surprisingly smooth! I haven't had any lag. Plus the game even LOOKS good (running the Unreal Engine). I like the art style (even though it's a kind of TF2 rip). I like that there is like a "horde/firefight…

Still not sure about this game, because it's made by treyarch, but anything's better than MW2 at this point.

Anyone else going to get this game? I seriously can't wait. Looks insanely cool. If you haven't seen it yet, here is some gameplay:

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802545407e6/?of=1 Awesome! Go forth and download!

This isn't a 100% sure list, but Rockstar posted them on their website, and took them down right after. Literally like 4 minutes after they posted them, odd... Anyway, here they are: Call it a Comeback! Come back from 2-0 deficit and win a Hold Your Own game. Who needs Deadeye? Kill 3 or more players in a standoff or showdown. Stick and Move Get 3 kills with knives or throwing knives in a single competitive match. Double Bagger Double capture 3 times in a single Gold Rush map. Headhunter Kill 5 players via headshot in a single Shootout or Gang Shootout. Legendary Reach level 50 and pass into Legend. Hail Mary Get a kill greater than 35 yards with a Tomahawk. Axe Master Co…

I knew many zoomed into the party gaming aspect of Kinect and think it's a cute peripheral. I always knew there'd be more to it. If they wanted just a motion detector, they could have upgraded their vision cam and made more games like TotemBall. It's not a cheap web cam like many think, though. It has several different lenses, voice recognition and is able to map and track objects and people. Today, some patents were discovered. It's very possible, that in the near future, you'll be able to play and converse with a deaf gamer. Read the full story, here [EDGE]

Let me say this game blows in my opinion. I have been waiting for this game so that my husband and I can play it and it freaking sucks....SUCKS. That is all.
