Speaking of Youtube size limitations, I'm always confused about that. I keep being told there are size limitations, but then I find a couple of full length movies, and a full length 3-hour wrestling PPV from the 90's on there. Explain that.Conversation related: I always get a kick out of the ###hole Shepard videos.
I forget which one I enjoyed the most. I think it was Vanguard. Soldier is okay but using biotics is a lot more fun than just shooting stuff.'Borat said:Honestly, I was really hoping someone would tell me that... so thanks.'Andy Dufresne said:No. Don't do that.Just play on the "easy" setting and play through only the priority missions.'Borat said:I was actually enjoying Mass Effect 1 (more so for the story than the dated game play, obviously), but I got to a point where the next priority mission wouldn't start. This was about 6 hours in. Coupled with the fact that my Vanguard can't charge (I guess that was introduced in ME2), and I will probably just give up on this game. Kind of bummed out about that.
Any advice for which class to take? The powers are so underwhelming compared to ME2 & ME3 that I am almost tempted to run with the soldier. But again, I was only 6 hours in (I had just added Liara and my next missions were Feros or Noveria), so maybe I just didn't get far enough into the game...
Adept would probably be more fun on easy because enemies won't have shields, and powers will thus have full effect on everyone. Although you won't be able to use certain weapons, as I recall.I forget which one I enjoyed the most. I think it was Vanguard.

Least favorite of the series
Mirror's Edge for $5 not bad, but I have too many games I don't play already to not play one about a chick running and jumping. Picked up Arkham City for my son for Christmas from GMG for <$5 last week.
Told ya. It isn't easy either. Gorgeous though.
I'm wondering whether I should buy the Darksiders Franchise Pack for $13.59 or go with the THQ pack, which is $24.99 and also includes both Darksiders games (minus Darksiders 2 DLC) and a lot of other games, including Company of Heroes, Saints Row 2/The Third, Homefront, and much more. I wonder if I'll miss that DLC content by buying the THQ pack instead.
Id go with the THQ pack, Company of Heroes and Saints Row are great games, never played Homefront but its a Battlefield Bad Company clone so it can't be terrible. Also I think the THQ bundle comes with the Warhammer 40k Games, which are fun if you like 40k.Sucks though because the THQ Humble Bundle was like two weeks ago and for a dollar you could get pretty much every THQ game but Darksiders 2.
I never finished it. The first one was so perfect and I had played (and still play it) so much the second one just doesn't have nearly the same feel and atmosphere.
Age of Mythology Rise of Nations The Starcraft series
I'll add Company of Heroes to that.
Great ideas, thank you. It seems that unless I want to enter the world of MMORPGs, my choices of new software are limited. I was hoping to find something written for Windows 7.
Don't forget that there are Steam sales going on from now til the end of time the year, so you may be able to get many of these at a fraction of the cost. Also, there's an Age of Empires Online that is free to play (w/ optional micro-transactions) and is perfectly playable for free if you only play vs computer.
Homefront was fun and I really enjoyed the premise, but the single-player campaign was really short. Like..."wait, seriously, that's it?"...kinda short. And why play multi-player on that when there are so many better options for that.
I just picked Fallout New Vegas back up a couple of nights ago. It's one of my favorite games.BTW - If any of you are having trouble getting your Skyrim/Fallout3/FO:NV to work, it's likely your hard drive going bad. Try playing the game w/o it attached and se if it loads.ETA - This also affects downloaded games as well.
Retro City Rampage
That looks pretty decent. Hopefully the sale brings it down to $5 or less.
I haven't gotten it yet, but everyone I know that's played it loves it. I'm also holding out for it to go lower. But if it doesn't, I'll still finally get it by the end of the sale.
Thanks to this post, I bought this game. It's hands down one of the most fun game I've ever played.
Check this site. They have a very good list of current emulators for any system. And even though I trust this site, always be sure to have an antivirus running when visiting emu sites, just in case. http://www.emuparadise.me/
I wouldn't go *quite* that far, but yea, it's definitely a good time. I like how they kind of forced hunting and gathering on you - it's not an option. Using the bow is a lot of fun, too.Thanks to this post, I bought this game. It's hands down one of the most fun game I've ever played.

I'm actually enjoying this a little more now that I'm further into it. It seemed like this game took forever to get going, but now that I've got the research camera and an assortment of plasmids it's more entertaining. It's still nowhere near as good as the original. Still looking like a one-and-done though, whereas I really enjoyed multiple playthroughs for the first title.On deck is Far Cry 3, which just got discounted to $40 on Amazon; it won't get here until next week at the earliest, so I'll have plenty of time to finish my business in Rapture first.
You only have the 4 GB version. You don't have enough space on the hard drive.
We have Xbox live. I have a flash drive as well. Please explain. TIA.You only have the 4 GB version. You don't have enough space on the hard drive.
Do you have XBOX live? You can use the free cloud space. [i think you can only use the cloud service to store savced games and profiles.] Its super easy to set up but you need to (obviously) be online.

Your xbox only has 4 GB. internasl memory.
They sell Hard Disk Drives that you can install inside your xbox. They are 250-350GB drives which can store a lot more games and movies your download.
In other words, unless your drop $125 on a HDD, you're likely going to have to delete and re-download 1-2 games at a time on that puny little hard drive you have.
I'm pretty sure you can format a flash drive (1 GB to 16 GB) and put the XBLA games on it. With the larger games available now, it won't take long to fill up a drive, though. I still recommend the hard drive, but that should get you going until you get one.Perfect. So, essentially the lovely lady bought the wrong Xbox. I appreciate the response.

I just got a 250 gig drive for 60.00 on Amazon. I played my Xbox for a long time in just 4 gig mode though. Still 60.00 to add the drive is really nothing. And there is nothing to installing it. Just plug it in and go. No formatting or anything.'Tony Jabroni said:Perfect. So, essentially the lovely lady bought the wrong Xbox. I appreciate the response.

fantastic
Agreed entirely! Playing this with daughter right now and we are a big fan of the series in general (having played Star Wars, Batman and Harry Potter before LOTR). LOTR feels "bigger". Certainly not open world by any means but they seemed to have expanded the scope a bit from previous games while still retaining the good feel of the earlier games.
