Finished Metro 2033 (twice actually).
Good game if you like sneak and peek and not a hard core shooter.
It does have some bugs but overall a very good game.

Yep, I bought subscription I just started this week about 3 months back when they were on sale for $30.

You buy the subscription card thing, take the code from the back of it and enter that into the redeem code section in the marketplace blade of the main X button menu. OR, go to the my xbox section of the live interface, scroll once to the right and click on your gamer tag, scroll once to the right and click on account management, and click redeem code and enter what is on the back of the card you bought.Explain to me how to do this like I'm an idiot...You can still buy it and it will just add on to the tail end of your current subscription.Leeroy Jenkins said:I see an Xbox Live Gold on there for $39 too.

We finally broke down and got a PS3. The reason for the delay was a simple one: We already have everything else in the PS family - PS, PS2, PSP, and we have a Wii system, too. Couldn't find a reason to upgrade for a long time, until my buddy started talking Netflix and file storage, etc.
And through the years, I've never really enjoyed any video games aside from Tiger Woods.
I'm here to announce the following: Hey, everyone. I'm SimonMoon, and I'm an addict.
("Hi, SimonMoon!")
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is going to possibly cost me my marriage. Just got it for Christmas (okay, my son did), and I've found myself strategizing in my head at all hours, to the point of distraction, and I can't wait for everyone to go to bed so I can play until my eyes burn and my fingers cramp. I know Black Ops is all the rage, but I'm perfectly happy with this one for now.

Just like madshot said. You can stack up to 3 years of XBox Live at once. Don't go over that, though. It'll just be wasted. So if you get more cards than that, just hold onto them.

This is definitely a good play. My wife's birthday is February 22, which just happens to be the same day that Killzone 3 comes out. I think I know what she'll be getting for her birthday now . . .

Probably good advice...But I'm just now developing the ability to move smoothly through the COD universe, and to know whether I should lay low and snipe or sprint across and just start knifing the bad guys. Or dogs, as the case may be...Now, at least, I understand what the fuss has been about for the past few years. No denying the artistry of the franchise. It may even be good for me, in that my heart rate stays elevated for a while.

Anyone download the Pac-Man Championship Edition DX for the 360? Supposed to be a lot of fun.

I have it. It's a blast. I don't know if I like it more than regular Championship Edition, but it's a fun way to waste some time.

MW2 is a great game and you'll surely get tons of fun out of it. I played it almost every night for a year. It's the reason I got a PS3 There are plenty of things that I like better about Black Ops, but I think MW2 is better when it comes to the action-packed excitement of running around killing people. If getting blasted by a grenade launcher or getting stabbed alot don't bother you (it didn't bother me), then I'd guess you'd be hard-pressed to find shooter that's more fun and exciting than MW2.SimonMoon said:Probably good advice...But I'm just now developing the ability to move smoothly through the COD universe, and to know whether I should lay low and snipe or sprint across and just start knifing the bad guys.

Played through the new Medal of Honor game for 360 on Sunday.
Ok, and fun in more than a couple spots but nothing really challenging or engaging, story was good but nothing epic.
About like the other Medal of Honor games I've played, but it's been a while. I liked that you never ran out of ammo and were heavily stocked at all times with some awesome guns. Fun for a while but I think I beat it in 6 hours, maybe less.

Do you think it's a good idea to buy Gold years in advance? Any chance Gold goes free with PS3 and Wii services being free now for competitive reasons?So I on ME2 add on last night . . . is that pack finished now or are there other missions that will pop up??

Nice price, Newegg had the card the other day for $158.99 so $120 is a good buy.Newegg has XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB DDR5 Video Card + bonus $15 Newegg Promo Card for $209.99 - 10% off code HARDOCP15B - $30 Rebate = $158.99.I am building a new PC when my tax refund comes in this year so am look for some deals. I want to run a ATI Crossfire system or a Nvidia SLI system, but have not decided one way or the other yet.I am gonna throw this bad boy up on eBay if none of my BF brothers want it. They sell for $140-150 on eBay for a used model. If a FBG wants it, I will sell it to them shipped for $120. Let me know within a couple of hours and I can get it out today.

I finally beat the Ogre in Sports Champions frisbee golf, so it was time to get some new games...
Shaun White Skateboarding - I used to play Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 on PS2 a lot. I wanted a new skateboarding game and I just got PS3. This one was new so I tried it. It is a really cool game. I ended up playing it way too long last night. I never played Skate by EA... but i've read about how the controls are set up. It seems to me that Shaun White Skateboarding is somewhere in between the controls for THPS and Skate. Regardless, I had no problem adapting to the controls. They did a good job of walking thru tutorials on how to do everything. It's a fun game. A good cheesy story line. Cool tricks. Easy to pick up controls. A lot of different goals. Im at a level where I have to destroy these floating cameras... not sure how im gonna do that.
John Daily Golf - I read an online review about this game. It basically said it's a poor mans Tiger Woods. I never played any recent Tiger Woods games on PS3, but it seems like that review is probably true. I's Move compatable and I've been playing it using the Move controllers. Just like real golf, it took me a while to get my swing down... a lot of practice... but Im at a point where I am pretty good as long as I am hitting full power. I need to figure out how to gague short game shots better. Putting is pretty tough too. They don't let you get by with gimmies or tap ins very often. Even on short puts you have to line it up and go thru the routine.
I also got MX vs. ATV Untamed, Rapala Pro Bass Fishing (move compatable), and a generic Racquet Sports. One thing that I think swayed me toward Shaun White and the John Daily game is that they were new but only $30. That didn't seem like much to me for a new game... but its been awhile since I bought a new game.

I threw it up on eBay, but could always take it down if need be.As far as SLI or Crossfire go, I am becoming more of a fan of just a great single-card solution. I have run into too many glitches/bugs that pop up with SLI a few years ago and now Crossfire, so I dropped the 2 X 5850's and went with a 6950 that I flashed to a 6970. Much better.Nice price, Newegg had the card the other day for $158.99 so $120 is a good buy.Newegg has XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB DDR5 Video Card + bonus $15 Newegg Promo Card for $209.99 - 10% off code HARDOCP15B - $30 Rebate = $158.99.I am building a new PC when my tax refund comes in this year so am look for some deals.

I don't have any years banked, but I doubt Gold will ever go free. I think you'll see PS3 online play move to a pay service first. They are already flirting with the idea with the premium service. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love for XBox Live Gold to move to free. I just don't see it happening. Maybe if people refused to pay for it in the beginning like they did with Games for Windows Live (which was a paid service for the first year but is now free). But too many are willing to pay for it on consoles.

I renewed this year, but if by next year I have a web-TV or something capable of streaming netflix without the xbox I probably wont renew gold. Just pissed I missed out on two separate deals on Xbox in the same week!!SlaX said:

No chance at all. In fact it's far more likely you'll see Sony start charging a fee for their service. It's not just fanboi talk when you hear that the Sony online service is not as good as the Xbox online service. There really is a major quality difference. Well worth the money.No need to fully stock 3 years on Xbox service. Just make sure that you never run out, which would force you to accept a full price renewal or near full.Leeroy Jenkins said:

I know it's too late for others, but if you never buy XBox Live via credit card, they cannot charge your card for renewal when Live runs out. I've always bought via time cards and when my time runs out, it just reverts back to Silver (well, it's now called just Free, not Silver). Tip for those who haven't jumped in yet.

That's all she wrote. If you leave the final area and come back later, some new info/rewards are available, but no playable missions or anything.####. It was fun and all, but was hoping for more. I guess I can go replay it with my Renegade version of Sheppard. Then it will be Red Dead Zombie time.

They are holding co-op off until Torchlight 2. I'm not sure that Torchlight will do as well on XBLA as it did on PC without the co-op. But it's a great game.

That DLC has some of the best/toughest combat sequences in the game on the hard difficulties.

I've been playing the hell out of Black Ops. But when I've not been playing that, I've been on that BFBC2: Vietnam.
Vietnam is probably the best DLC I've ever played. The maps really lend themselves to guerilla type warfare. Between the music, new look of the playable characters in each class, and general darkness and disturbing feel to the maps, it really is like a whole new game. Nothing better than chunking people with the PBR (it's a boat).

I can't remember if it was talked about in this thread or another one, but we were discussing OnLive the other day. For those of you that are interested, OnLive is now offering their TV module for 33% off ($66) in celebration of CES.
Not that I'm recommending it. This smells of desperation more than anything. I would hesitate before buying from them, as I'm not sure how long they have left. But if any of you are up to trying it out, perhaps helping to save a company with a great technological idea, there it is.

haha! I found this newish game that is more expensive than buying a car! pretty cool though, I'm sure it will show up on an episode of cribs or something.The Vision Racer, I know you guys don't seem especially into race car driving games but its definately worth a look.

As you guys previously mentioned, Torchlight is coming to the XBLA in Spring(Feb/March). But I just read that Beyond Good & Evill HD is also being released. Beyond Good & Evill is right up there with Xenogears and Psychonauts for the best underrated games of the last 15 years.

Nearly every 360 game comes with a free 2-day gold pass too usually (rarely you can get like a 1 month pass too.) The last time mine ran out I just used one or two of those while I waited for the cheap 12 year one I bought off the internet to be shipped to me.

Looking for a racing sim game. Forza 3 or GT5? Anybody played both? Leaning towards Forza since its cheaper, but is it worth it to pay more for GT5?
