It literally just hit me like a brick in the face today. After today, I won't be able to play arguably my favorite online game of all time. Halo 2 probably means more to me then just a game because it brings back so many fond memories of HS, friends I don't see anymore, all the good times and LAN parties I had and by tomorrow the gaming world will not be able to play Halo 2 online anymore even though it was the #1 Xbox live game for 5 YEARS and the first game to dethrone it was Gears of War which was over 1 year into the 360's launch. So here it is, if you have a copy of Halo 2, pop it in and play it while you still can for old times sake. I'll be on today playing with fr…

So, I'm sure there was a thread about this on the ATC already, but there isn't one here, so here ya go. Recently got this game and loving every minute of it. In my opinion, FAR better then MW2. There's this sense of accomplishment when you do something right in this game, it's so satisfying. I can't explain the amount of times where the squad I was in (usually with Sajam, Brad, and Putty) go all sneaky sneak, go around the enemy, and appear from the back and just wreck ****. It's ridiculously fun. I love the gun mechanics as well, sometimes the gun will stray off if you are shooting and moving, but that's how it's supposed to be. Plus, gravity drop on bullets is BAD ***.

So, I just found out that MS changed the prices and made the amount of points you buy ACTUALLY WORK WITH WHAT YOU WANT TO BUY. 400 - $4.99 800 - $9.99 1600 - $19.99 4000 - (Not sure, didn't look at it) Hey, at least you would pay what you would pay in store, and not have an uneven quantity of MS Points now, : D

Because the old one was unfortunately derailed and beaten to death by a few people there is a new one! I'll add in all the vids/trailers from the old one into here. Trailer showcasing all the new online modes Matches showing new characters and changes to old characters(players suck btw): Showcase of a bunch of the new ultras: There we go

I just saw the multiplayer Features for this game and got really excited. This looks like the reason I'm going to have to get XBOX Live back. Is anyone else pumped for this ? Great Video of multiplayer is HERE.

Bulletstorm. The story, written by Rick Remender, is set in the 26th century, and players take on the role of Grayson Hunt - part of Black Ops unit Dead Echo, bossed by General Serrano. Hunt's mission is to assassinate a man responsible for thousands of deaths. When he refuses to kill him, Hunt in turn becomes the most wanted man in the galaxy. Silly beggar. Read the rest at CVG

Has anyone else had the misfortune to play this game? I picked it up cheap because I loved the first one on the Original Xbox, it was dark and gritty and unlike a lot of other Vietnam based games. It was also meant to be easy gamerscore . The game is horrible. Avoid it like the plague. The controls are clunky, the plot is paper thin, the levels are horribly linear, there's no multiplayer, the animation is terrible, hit registration barely exists. The weapons don't really feel much different either. The AK and M16 feel the same recoil wise but one is automatic and the other is burst fire. It feels like it should have been released on the last generation of consoles. I've …

They posted info on the game on live and weren't suppose to! PK found it first and found the article where they weren't suppose to. But I wanted to post it because I stole PK's news lol.

So, today, I managed to catch a glimpse of a F.E.A.R. article and to my surprise (sarcasm) I found out that it was an announcement that F.E.A.R. 3 is due out THIS fall. I wondered why it would be coming out so soon, and was directed to this article. While Day 1 Studios (Developers of Fracture) is handling the project and NOT Monolith (Developers of F.E.A.R. 1 and 2), they have enlisted the assistance of John Carpenter and Steven Niles. Consider me intrigued. Here's a link to the teaser trailer.

I found this on another forum I read on and just had to post it. Just Cause 2 Map Its two pages. If you click more on the upper right it will exit fullscreen with a list on the right.

8) Speaking of Just Cause 2, check out the mag tether In Just Cause 2, you can connect any two things. In Crackdown 2, you can connect any (insert high number here) things. When I asked the limit on the number of mag tethers, Ruffian's Martin Livingston just shrugged and kept firing them. This weapon creates an elastic electromagnetic link between two objects. Livingston quickly set up a slingshot by using a pair of mag tethers to suspend a car between two buildings. He then picked up the car, pulled it back, and let go, smacking it into a bunch of bad guys taking cover around a bus. Then he mag tethered a bunch of cars together and hooked them onto a dump truck. He drove…

Hey Guys, its been awhile since I was last on here, and in that time some new XBLA games showed up. The new Game Room is a cool new download, but i'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about the N64 port remake of "Perfect Dark". This game came out as part of the XBLA block party event. There were also codes that gave you free avatar items such as :A BBQ gril, and Bing T-shirts (one for male avatars, and one for female avatars). Ill post those later. Perfect Dark for the N64 was an awesome game... but without the expansion pack, you were limited to just the challenges and local multiplayer. If you had the expansion pack, you saw better graphics(that did not slo…

So, since the game is due out in May, I figured this would be a good time to start a thread on this game. I for one have been waiting for it since it was announced as a Vista game, so my anticipation has deteriorated and been revitalized with the more recent showings of the game. I am a huge fan of psychological thrillers, and this game carries the pedigree of Remedy (Team behind Max Payne 1 & 2), so I'm expecting a top-notch story to go with the scare factor. For those of you who don't know, or don't know much, about Alan Wake, I've posted some videos so that you guys can check it out. Developer Interview at GDC 09: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gc-09-alan-wake/…

Looks Awesome! When I was a kid transformers was my favorite of all time. The original cartoon was awesome and I went out and collected them on dvd haha. I even have the original Soundwave toy from back in the day. I have been waiting my whole life for a good transformers game lol. Hope we finally get one! Here is a video I watched on this. Transformers Vid

http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/04/06/xbox-360-system-update-usb-memory-support.aspx I am so going to try this out now.

Rockstar just announced something. As mentioned a couple weeks ago, the Rockstar Newswire will be bringing you full coverage of the first details on Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer component over the course of this week. http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/4501/red_dead_redemption_multiplayer_details_coming_this_week.article So, they announced that they'll be announcing stuff this week. Kudos, Rockstar. lol Anyone pre-order yet? If so, which bonus will you be packing? I pre-ordered from Amazon. Gold guns and $10 gift card.

Possibly one of the best launch trailers ever?

I have my lappy set up for sharing with my 360. It sees my lappy and I can stream music if I run Windows Media Center on my 360, but I can't stream music from the dashboard. I stream a lot of music, in game sometimes, through my 360 from the dash. Something's not quite right with the relationship between my 360 and my new lappy. Any advice?

So, I realize that Kevin, Putty and I will probably be the only ones posting in this thread, BUT MORE PEOPLE MAY BUY IT SOON. hopefully. Fav team guise. Akuma, Rogue, (insert random third character here)

I figured I should contain my own anxiety for this game in one thread rather than every thread across the board. So let's use this thread to discuss anything and everything Halo: Reach! First off, Armor Lock looks like the most useful loadout right now. I see myself using this one the most and then maybe Invisibility. But I'll definitely be trying all the loadouts once the beta arrives on May 3rd.

Alright, Gamercide is back up and running, so we need more gaming threads. I'll start with this one and go through the old thread and re-post all of the tips. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Word to the commoners who just bought FFXIII, the game will open up tremendously at Chapter 11, which is roughly 24ish hours into the game. If you can survive the linearity of the game for that long, I assure you things will pick up. 2. Fight EVERYTHING you can. You are going to need the CP (Crystarium Points) for later on in the game. Some moments can be extremely challenging for under-leveled characters. (ahem chapter 11) 3. Co…
