Kind of really want to buy this on the arcade, but after the poor support (read: ABSOF.UCKINGLUTELY NONE) for The Orange Box's Team Fortress 2 I'm a little leary. Anyone played this yet?

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO). Targeted for release via Playstation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and Steam (for PC and Mac) in early 2012, CS: GO will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched exactly 12 years ago (CS beta 1, August 1999). CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay mo…

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

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…

The shooting doesn't feel as good as it did in one sometimes, driving is annoying, missions are still quite repetitive, graphics look the same as 1(im not graphics whore, but these do look pretty much exactly the same with just new textures for new characters), and the agents just aren't as well designed as the old ones aesthetically. : /

The Crackdown 2 DLC Toy Box was initially released with a series of bugs caused by incorrect configuration of the DLC package. These included: * Crash on loading * Problems with DLC specific achievements * Problems with the Voice Of The Agency These issues were caused by problems mastering the DLC package. They have now been resolved with a new version of the Toy Box DLC that Microsoft has released today. However if you are unlucky enough to have downloaded the bugged version you will need to: * Delete the Toy Box DLC from your system * Re-download the DLC After that all will be fine. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope you will now be able to enjoy the gam…

Hollow point bullets to use against heavily armored enemies, more potent foods and even poisons. http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/09/21/fallout-new-vegas-official-strategy-guide-blog-crafty-beggars-living-off-the-land-and-on-the-lam/

So K. and I have been tromping through Castle Crashers now and then searching for hidden things, weaepons, animals, etc. That is, when we actually have -time- together to unwind. Anyone else playing this or have any tips/tricks/general banter? We've downladed the King pack and Necromantic pack as well and are seriously enjoying it.

I found this pretty cool, you can make your own Villager and if you pre-order Fable 3, that character will appear in the game. You can get started here. <object width="660" height="405"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="405"></embed></object>

Major Nelson has gone ahead and let everyone know that Crimson Alliance is a free full game/trial hybrid. Although, I have heard it will be a free arcade game but heavy on restrictions through DLC.

Like your new pirated game? Enjoy your new best buddy, the invincible scorpion, bitch! LOL

So who is getting it?? I was not overly impressed with the multiplayer demo when I tried it way back when but since then I have been seeing more about the game. I am considering it now. Homefront was a bust for me and I did not buy it because I got to try it at a friends and was unimpressed. I have that FPS itch again but am tired of the same old COD war shooters minus battlefield 2 because of the destruction part. I think the biggest draw to this game for me might be the science fiction angle to it. A bit like halo but the idea of the suit and the different upgrades sounds cool. I hear the focus for this game was more towards the single player. I am thinking of giving it…

Bulletstorm - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Bulletstorm-Demo/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802454188f0 Crysis 2 Multiplayer "Closed Beta" - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Crysis-2-Multiplayer-Closed-Beta/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80245418946

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.

My absolute favorite fps franchise is back... Can not freaking wait!

So, I just jumped on Live to see Crysis 1 on the marketplace. Blew my mind. The game has been a PC benchmarking tool for a few years now and from the gameplay I've watch online, not a whole lot was lost in translation.

Does anybody know if the Epic Battle achievement is glitched? I tried this on several occasions....I did what I found on forums and nothing. Pick one song, played with a second player (Granite), kept hitting restart, played 10 times, and then when it wouldn't unlock we kept going, but nothing. It's starting to irk the crap out of me now.

Anyone else playing this or interested in it?
