dEv~ 19 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Did you play Lego Star Wars? If you did and you like the concept it's pretty much the same but in the Indiana Jones setting. Some good humor, easy gameplay, lots of unlockable content etc etc. Oh and a fairly fun 2 player mode.If you just want to blaze through and beat it ASAP its just a rental. If you are one of those people who like completing something to 100% its worth a purchase.I'm not much of a star wars guy but I've heard good things about the games. I'm a big indy fan so I figured I would enjoy the game. I may rent it to test it out but I'll probably just look to find it cheap somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hey guys, I finally purchased an XBox 360. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing, but it's something I've wanted for probably six months. The price reduction also helped convince me. I just got Halo 3 and wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions on games or on anything dealing with 360 in general. On my older systems, I'd usually play sports games or Tony Hawk but my brother has gotten me into the Halos somewhat.Gears of War for the MFW. That game kicks ass. Get a friend and do it co-op.

Suited_Up 2 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Gears of War for the MFW. That game kicks ass. Get a friend and do it co-op.Agreed. Didn't really like Halo 3 very much. Link to post Share on other sites
Anastasia Beaverhausin 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Went over to my friends last night and he just got a wii. Played Mario Cart and some disc that he said came with it with boxing and bowling and tennis and such. It was so fun but it seems it could get pretty dangerous if you don't have a large room to play in. I almost broke his lamp a few times playing tennis. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Game 2 of the ALDSRogers was a pitching a no hitter into the 5th with a 1-0 lead thanks to a Sheffield blast over the green monster.But then it was Boston with the bases loaded and no outs. Amazingly I got out of the jam allowing only 1 run to score.In the 6th I made it 2-1 with a Granderson HR and replaced a tired Rogers with Grilli who promptly gave up 4 runs. 5-2 Boston.Bobby Seay gave up another in the 8th and I scored 1 in the 9th and had 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd and down 3 but hit a pop fly to right and that was it. 6-3 Boston. Series tied 1-1 going to Detroit.Mets up 2-1 on CubsDodgers up 2-1 on BravesYankees up 2-1 on Mariners Link to post Share on other sites

On my older systems, I'd usually play sports games or Tony Hawk but my brother has gotten me into the Halos somewhat.I would have passed on Halo 3 as there are better shooters out there. Well one for sure and that is Call of Duty 4. Other good games:Forza 2 (which you can get for $20 used) is an excellent sim racer, better than Gran Turismo IMOGRID - new racer that is just insane. Mix of sim and arcade but the AI and the crashes are awesome.Lost Odyssey for an epic RPGTable Tennis is a great addictive game that can be gotten for cheap used or newAny sports title, they are all good if you like sportsThe Orange Box (Half-life, CS, and Portal)Gears of War as already mentionedAssassins Creed is decentCondemned is a great action game for cheap, and then its sequel which recently got releasedRock BandGuitar Hero 2 and 3Battlefield: Bad CompanyNinja Gaiden II is intenseTiger WoodsDead Rising is a must haveGTA4 obvSaints Row Link to post Share on other sites
custom36 4 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Picked up NCAA 09 for PS3 this morning.While it's not a revolutionary game, it's a nice improvement over last year. Graphics are much, much better. Gameplay has improved. I'm not much of an online player, but online dynasty may be a significant addition to the franchise.PS3 screen name is the same as on here if you want to play a game some time.

Jadaki 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Now that E3 is over, about the best thing that came out of it is a lot of companies started publishing release dates for games this fall. This will be the first real fall season for this entire generation where none of the consoles is actually launching so the amount of software will be pretty solid.PCFallout 3SporeWiiMario Super SluggersTales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World360Fable 2Infinite UndiscoverySpectral Force 3Star Wars: The Force UnleashedTales of VesperiaThe Last RemnantBionic Commando Rearmed (Xbox Arcade)Saints Row 2Lego BatmanStreet Fighter 4PS3Disgaea 3Valkyria ChroniclesPersona 4 (Actually PS2)Possible PurchasesDead Space - 360Ghostbusters - 360Siren: Blood Curse - PS3Yakuza 2 - PS2 Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 MLB 2K8ALDS Game 3 Series Tied 1-1Well this was ugly. The Sox pounded Nate Robertson and the Detroit Tigers 8-0 in Game 3. It wasn't even close. Beckett threw a 4 hit shoutout. Now the Tigers have to decide on whether to take the chance and pitch Willis in game 4 and save Verlander for a hopeful game 5 or use Verlander to lock in a game 5 and let Willis or Rogers go for the win.I swear if I lose in the ALCS I will spit. Play a full 162 games season, no simming of one game, to lose that early. BAH!Mets beat the Cubs 3 games to 1 and wait for the Dodgers/Braves DS to finish. Series is tied 2-2.Yankees and Seattle are also tied 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites

You can't win game 5 if you don't get there. :)Re: Jadaki's list above, I guess I'll have to buy a 360 now...I don't play the Wii I have _ever_, but Fable 2 and the FF news the other day + sports games will probably make it worthwhile. That Last Remnant game looks like something I'd like too...Anyone ever play the 'Tales of...' games (one coming out on Wii, one on 360)?Sigh, if I get a 360 though I'll want to play it and I have no time...I hate poker.

The combat systems are usually pretty solid though so even the bad ones are reasonably fun if you like RPG's. Link to post Share on other sites

James D 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Anyone played The Bourne Conspiracy yet (on PS3)? Saw it in a store today, but didn't know if it was one of those crappily done games on the back of a film.I'm a big fan of the Bourne movies... anyone got any views on this game? Thanks.
