Yeah, you get used to one configuration, and then when you try to switch to the other you're constantly throwing grenades every time you want to shoot.On a side note though, it's funny, every time I play a shooter on my PS3, I wish the triggers were L2/R2 instead of L1/R1 like they usually are.
Each layout makes sense given its respective controller. You guys actually have triggers for L2/R2 so using those for shooting makes sense for the 360. They kind of suck for shooting on the dualshock.
So I take it you got the guy to lower his price on the motorcycle? BTW, I just unloaded a bunch of movies and games and made some pretty good money last week.
it's certainly challenging, but it's only really the bosses that are hard, although once you figure out the method for killing them, it's not that bad.(lots of cover+slow-mo.)'Sundays Rule said:You're right about achievements. I must have unlocked like 10 in a little over an hour of gameplay. Wasn't even trying they just kept popping up.As for the game itself, it's pretty awesome and very intense, some of the boss fights are real pains. I have no idea how some of these guys are scoring 20,000 in one section when I barely get 5,000. Other than that the action is fantastic, have to figure out some of the basic strategies, kudos to you for playing on hard.Achievements are pretty easy I'd say. I'm also halfway done on hard mode.
Here is Kotaku's write-up of the first three hours of Rage. It should curb any preconceived notions that this is a Borderlands clone. I'm still not sure if I'll be buying it, but I'll definitely be trying it out someway to give it a shot. forgot to include the link: http://kotaku.com/5826646/rage-is-the-id-software-comeback-ive-been-waiting-forWhat little I've seen of it looks like a Borderlands clone.Apprehensive. It could be a great game of a failure. They haven't released very much exciting info to date. So far I know its open world, but you are directed around. Is that the new way of saying linear? The developers say it is 15 hours long, so it will clock in much less, which also points to being linear. It has a wannabee Twisted Metal/Mario Kart racing multiplayer, WTF? It has a separate co-op multiplayer campaign that is limited, so probably a few hours hopefully. I want to like this game and was originally thinking it could be in the BioShock single player campaign quality, but everything I hear makes me cringe.
I hope some others got in on this - they have added 6 games to the bundle at no cost. Still open to buy.
Adding the 2nd bundle does make a better deal. The games in the bundle was rather weak, although still a great deal as always, considering you set your own price. But I already have what I'd want from it. I wish they'd give to a better charity than Child's Play, IMO.
I was trying to figure out what game to play today on my day off and this sealed it for me. Have DS and DS2, but haven't gotten around to them. Looks like now is the time!
I really wanted to like this game. I thought the premise was cool. I just got promoted to my 3rd "desk" and I couldn't care less. I'm not going to complete this.Extremely tedious. If I have to chase another guy up a pole I'm going to lose it.
Play it in the dark...with the sound cranked.Amazing game.I was trying to figure out what game to play today on my day off and this sealed it for me. Have DS and DS2, but haven't gotten around to them. Looks like now is the time!

Only way to play that game.I still need to get started on DS2. I grabbed Mass Effect 2 a couple of weeks back, and it's completely sucked me in. DS2 may have to wait until the fall.
Just letting you know that a few of us here: "Told you so!"
Yea you pretty much have to play ME2 till the end once you start. I didn't even want to sleep when I first got it.Play it in the dark...with the sound cranked.Amazing game.I was trying to figure out what game to play today on my day off and this sealed it for me.

DS and DS2 are great game. The only other game that really stands out to me recently for playing in the dark was FEAR.'Todem said:Play it in the dark...with the sound cranked.Amazing game.'fasteddie_21 said:I was trying to figure out what game to play today on my day off and this sealed it for me.

I'm pretty sure you can only watch Go on a computer. The 360 app would allow you to watch it on your TV.I don't see the point, since it's only available if 1) you're a subscriber and 2) your cable or dish company already provides the service.But can you get it yet without subscribing through a cable provider?HBO Go coming to consoles.
So basically, HBO Go is HBO on Demand for the computer? And the 360 app would allow you to watch it on your TV? Funny, I already have HBO on Demand on my TV.

There are a lot more episodes available through HBO Go than through HBO on Demand - for instance, I was able to watch the entire first 3 seasons of True Blood through HBO Go, whereas HBO on Demand only had season 3 available.They have other options also, such as the "enhanced" episodes they had for Game of Thrones where there was more information available in a sidebar about the episode or things featured in it.So basically, HBO Go is HBO on Demand for the computer?

Since I am a subscriber, I'll give it a try.

I had to look up what games Reef Entertainment has published. I get the feeling that the NES game made by Acclaim may be the better game. Time to kills some snakes, spiders and stuff with my knife! You know, all that Rambo-like stuff!
:honda: metal gear solid snake eater rings a bell.
Thats what I mean. They haven't offered it as a stand alone service like netflix or Hulu yet. When they do, I might get it. Till then, its like you said, whats the point?I don't see the point, since it's only available if 1) you're a subscriber and 2) your cable or dish company already provides the service.But can you get it yet without subscribing through a cable provider?HBO Go coming to consoles.
Building my new rig in about 6 weeks or so and then I'll add the video card the week before BF3 comes out
That looks amazing.
And I look at that and think, "yup, zero interest". I know, I know, I have the right to be wrong
Just not my cup 'o tea there.
I wouldn't like it, only because Im not a big FPS guy. Looks amazing though.
Yeah, it looks astronomically epic to me. The only way I can see it not being my cup of tea is if I didn't enjoy playing fun video games.On the other hand, it might be something I should stay away from. Getting into an MMO is the last thing I need right now.
At least this MMO is of the F2P model, and not the $15/month kind.
Thank you. I've been wanting to use it. Just never found an appropriate spot.

Its really does look insane. Might have to not let my FPS woes ....wait.... never mind, Ill never have a system that can play it.
Yeah, it looks like Borderlands in space with a ton of friends and tons of stuff to do. I'm sold.Yeah, it looks astronomically epic to me.

about from here on out in 2011 - BF3, Skyrim, Diablo 3 and The Old Republic, assuming it releases this year.
The Europa Universalis series (PC) was something like that. They had a bunch of expansions / different eras - not sure if they ever got into WW2 territory though.Interesting games, but a steeeeep learning curve.
Well I am unemployed...
If you have 3 TVs in your house, maybe you decide not to pay for a cable box monthly on one of them and use that TV strictly for gaming, and streaming.So basically, HBO Go is HBO on Demand for the computer?

Hearts of Iron series might be old but it is very close to what you are describing. there is also the classic SSI games like Panzer General, which was adapted to different theaters of combat. similarly, there is also the Close Combat series. best thing about most of these games is that they're very cheap to get.

Hearts of Iron III from 2009 would be exactly what you are looking for.
i didn't even know - or forgot? - that they had a release for this in '09. i tried HoI 1-2 awhile back and it is dated. not especially user friendly but there is fun for folks that like campaigns. i might check this one out too.
