Alright so I'll pick up the 360 version? It's on sale at Gamestop (please don't start) for $30 and that's the cheapest I can find it.

EDIT: got it, let's play, GT = wingsfan77

I sent you a FR. We should setup a BC2 night sometime next week.

I happen to have access to my brother's 360, and he has BC2. I might send one of you guys a friend request.

I think I might try and finish up LA Noire today. Still need to download the new case as well.

Reminds me. I beat the Nicholson Electroplating case last night. It felt oddly short. Has some really cool parts, though.

I need to stop getting drunk and playing MLB 10 the Show. Not only because it's a year old, but also because I'm fucking up the career stats of my third baseman.

Get drunk and play 11 instead!

I'm not sure how conducive the whole drunkenness and analog controls are.

Accepted it.

On another note, I just decided to play through the Halo Reach multiplayer. I have to say it was a pleasant surprise, but I would love for Microsoft to add another option to their File Complaint list- if someone is too young to play a game. I swear I am playing against a couple 10 year olds.

its the first halo i really played aside from halo 3 beta. reach MP is alot of fun. after they added their "hardcore" mode to the rotation it was awesome.

Since there seems to be some positive words thrown around about Arkham Asylum, I might have to pick that up and give it a play through.

that is an excellent game dude. there i no reason not to play it. its can be finished in a rental period. its a fantastic game

11 is a step back...dont waste your time or money

Thanks man, that's good to know. I'm about to really get into Infamous, and then NCAA 12 comes out in a couple weeks, glad to know it's a game I can play through fairly quickly. B/c once this fall comes around with so many games coming out, not sure I'll have much time for older ones.

Btw, loved your gamercard set up with both XBL and PSN on there, so I decided to use it as well lol.

I started Enslaved, like it so far. Combat is clunky but cinematic looking. The game is pretty to look at.

Its such a better experience online. I love the fact that the "special" games from Halo 3 were on full playlists, like Zombies (which I absolutely love) and Grifball.

And there is hardcore? Is it Team Swat, which they have had in past games, or something different?

thanks...i forgot i even had that since i turned off sigs. lol.....but yeah you can easily beat batman in less than a 5 day rental period. thats probably the only knock on the game is how short it is with no MP. But it really packs a punch into that SP mode. alot of fun, alot of variety, excellent gameplay and some killer scenes....not to mention the trippy vibe the game has

swat...i couldnt remember what they called it. thats about as hardcore as they get. it wasnt part of the playlists when the game was released. But thats all anyone wanted to play so they patched it in. that was my favorite more cause it was all about the headshot

Yeah, its been in previous variants since Halo 2, but only as a "weekend special" gameplay, or as a special game of Team Slayer. I think its a fun change of pace game mode, but I don't think I could play it for a majority of the time.

I don't know what it is but I haven't had any interest in Reach. Not even the campaign. I played through most of the campaign co-op the day the game came out.

Back in the MM days it seemed like I played Halo 2 and 3 nightly. I also hardly ever see anyone on my friends list playing either.

I think people need to give Reach a chance. I got very annoyed with Halo 3, and stopped playing it. I bought Reach and said I wouldn't play the multiplayer, but just the single player and firefight (I am a sucker for a good science fiction video game.)

Its a breath of fresh air from the other Halos. Probably because there are so many other game modes to play, and it has a better ranking system than the other games. Bungie also knows how to create a great community system as well. The maps are also very varied from what I've played so far, and I like them.

Halo 3......:bow:

I need to buy Reach so I can play Fire Fight I love those type of modes in gaming.

I need a co-op partner, or a few, to at least finish the campaign. I'd honestly like to start over because I don't remember anything about it.

I would also like to play some Firefight as well. I've heard there are some easy cheevos to be had if you adjust certain settings.

 

[Buzzman]

Alright, GoHastings as it for $18 shipped so I'll probably pick it up there.

 

[Twigg4075]

Halo 3......:bow:

You have Reach, right Wings?

If so, if we could find one more we could have a full boat for the campaign. We could probably plow through it on whatever the hardest difficulty is. I know that's what I was playing on the day it released but I think I'm missing the last chapter or two.
