So, who has it or is planning to get it it, my friends leaderboard is looking pretty thin?

Ok I can't help it anymore! I can't wait for this game. Love strategy games and XCOM Enemy Unknown was just awesome! Check out this article about some of the new features of the expansion. My favorite being medals. You will now have complete control with awarding medals to troops as they come back from missions. The cool part is you get to name it and decide what benefits it will bestow upon the soldier receiving it. Makes me want to replay the first game one more time before this xpac comes out.

According to the twitters, this game is deserving of its reviews.

Just bought the first one since I have never played it... Should be a few days before I get it in the mail.

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.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Torchlight/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a7e I think I might download it. I just got Dragon Age 2 but this will be fun for just a dungeon romp. Should be interesting. 1200 Space Bucks secures your purchase.

I love the main villain Pagan. He is great! That opening cut scene when he is introduced was fantastic. Did anybody else pick this up? Thoughts?

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.

Ok all I had a chance to sit down with this game last night for about 3-4hrs and here is what I think of it initially. I don't want to make this too long so you guys will be more inclined to read it. Thankfully, the game intro is short and pretty much straight to the point. I would say it was shorter than Skyrim's intro. It pretty much just turned me loose on the island right from the get go and I really have not felt any restrictions on where I can go as of yet. There seems to be a ton of stuff to do. Hunting is fun and a pain in the a$$ all at the same time. I kinda knew about this going in though. On one hand I want to hunt but on the other hand to remove some res…

Well, it turns out the leaked blurry image of Chuck and what appears to be Frank, fighting side by side that PK posted, is real! At Capcom's Tokyo Game Show press briefing Dead Rising made an unexpected appearance. Dead Rising 2 isn't even out, yet Capcom is already talking about what comes next. Dead Rising: Case West is an epilogue that takes place after the events in Dead Rising 2. In this act, Chuck, Dead Rising 2's star, will team up with Frank West, the protagonist from Dead Rising 1. Like Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Case West is a download-only title. It will also only be available on Xbox 360. Sorry, PlayStation fans. Source

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)

This is one of those bare-bones news bits that allows us to confirm a game’s existence, but little else. Prey 2 is in development. It’s on the cover of the French magazine Joystick. The subtext translates to something along the lines of “Nobody was expecting it... But that's going to change,” perhaps acknowledging that the sequel has been off the radar for years. Prey was originally published by 2K in 2006, but the rights of the property were handed over to Zenimax Media in 2009. That’s all the information we’ve got for now, although details should begin to circulate as soon as the magazine does. [source - GI] FERK YEAH! [uPDATE] This weekend the cover of French magazine…

is coming to XBLA and PSN. http://uk.xboxlive.ign.com/articles/109/1096105p1.html - Sweet. I'm gonna get Sonic Adventure.

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 ***.

If you don't live in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand and can't get the costume by pre-ordering from a retailer. You can get the Batman Beyond costume for Batman by buying a NOS Energy Drink (Yuck), registering on their site, and redeeming the code you've gotten off the can. Doing so will give you 1 reward point for their merchandise, among those items are the costume. They have 100,000 codes, 50,000 for PS3, and 50,000 for Xbox. Click here for more info via IGN.

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.

Its no surprise we already knew this anyways. Their focus is not on gameing for sure. The dash updates for 360 that changed everything to the tiles was to just to get us ready for whats to come. "Microsoft hopes that the inclusion of Kinect with every Xbox One system will allow the company to better serve contextually relevant ads" I don't want ads!! The sad thing with all this is they want people to pay for Kinect and Xbox Live! Some of this would be ok if Xbox Live were a free service.

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…

WANT. THIS. NOW.

You folks know CheapyD, right? He's the owner and proprietor of gaming deals site CheapAssGamer, as well as a swell dude and friend of the site. He's also a big fan of the Saints Row series -- so much so, in fact, that he donated a heap of change to the Ashley Ames Foundation last summer in order to become a character in Saints Row: The Third. What began as a bit role (a random pedestrian) turned into a full-on downloadable pack, adding Cheapy to the game as a "homie." Like in Saints Row 2, homies can be called to help out during missions or whenever you may need them. Cheapy says he recorded "approximately 150 lines" for the character, all done from his Tokyo, Japan apar…

Been a long wait for this game. But , from the looks it is well worth it. I do reckon i will spend my time mostly on this game as soon as i get my hands on it. No games have been catching my eye this year as ill wait for 2018. Check out the outstanding driving of Super GT .
