With the red ring of death finally killing my 6 year old X-Box 360, I've taken to an addiction of 'Lost Viking', the arcade mini-game from Starcraft 2.

Shame as I enjoyed Fallout 3, can't be arsed with New Vegas on the PC though.

Early birthday present from my mom, I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Sunday morning. Pretty much just like Galaxy 1, but everything seems streamlined a little bit (like the overworld map system instead of the spacestation) and the addition of Yoshi is pure awesome. Only was able to play a couple stars yesterday since we were busy sightseeing and my 4 month old daughter doesn't like to sleep.

Lookin' forward to the rest of the game though!

Got Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 Collector's Edition and Borderlands Game Of The Year Edition on Wednesday. The Best thing about Borderlands is not the fact that it comes with the four DLC packs but that it also comes with the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Demo code voucher.

All hail the king baby!

Finally was able to purchase a 4GB XBox 360 and TF: WFC. I know I'm late to the game but it's been nice to jump into higher-end gaming (only own a Wii since 2006). I've been thoroughly impressed by WFC, not because of graphics (the 4GB Xbox only comes with composite cables) but because it's a really well done game. Very pleased with my purchase!

Borderlands is an excellent game! That's awesome the GOTY edition comes with the Duke Nukem demo.

I've got COD Black Ops pre-ordered for next week.

Just bought Pinball FX 2 for X-Box Live Arcade. Best console pinball game ever!

Just beat Red Dead Redemption. Sad ending.

Picked up NCAA Football 11 for the 360 last night at GameStop. This is the first current-gen football game I have owned since Madden 07 on the Wii. How far these games have come in 3 years, and I'm astounded at the jump in quality from the Wii to the 360 for sports games...

Got the Jedi Temple and Tatooine DLC for The Force Unleashed. Not much content for 20 bucks. It was fun to go back to that game, though.
I borrowed Red Dead Redemption. This is a good game. Yep, sad end to it. I also got the Undead Nightmare DLC for it. That's almost a whole new game. It's pretty fun, too.

HeavyArms · Post by **HeavyArms** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 5:46 am

Got WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2011 on the PS3 on Wednesday, and awaiting Call of Duty: Black Ops Hardened Edition.
Yes, Red Dead Redemption is an awesome game with a sad ending, but the Undead Nightmare is easily one of the better DLC packs out there.

I just got Golden Axe Beast Rider in the mail and I will say, it's not as bad as I've heard, but still could have been better. And the fact that it's single player instead of co-op is kinda lame.

Also bought Halo Reach and I will say, multiplayer, the maps suck. I usually play BTB and for some reason, I find it kinda boring alot of times bprobabky because of the crappy maps. Campaign isn't bad so far. I do like FireFight and had alot of fun with it this weekend. Also played a few custom games with 3 others and we all had fun. The DMR is crap though, IMO.

None! Haha!

But damn do I miss the Uncharted Waters I downloaded onto my ex's Wii right now. :/

Wildrider · Post by **Wildrider** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 7:27 pm

My X-Box 360 broke, so in a randm act of boredom I broke out my Dreamcast from the garage and have mostly been playing 'Starlancer'.

Epic story, "Break right!" "Bogey on my six!" "He's got a lock!" are all back in my vocabulary, damn the Dreamcast was a fine machine in its day.

Well, I only just discovered that Goldeeye was already out on Wii, my local shop just didn't have any copies. So I need to track one
of them down.
And I'm about to go and buy a copy of Sonic Colours. I haven't been genuinely excited about a Sonic game in years!

Got me some Call Of Duty: Black Ops Hardened Edition.
I suppose it was too much to ask that the medal that they included looked like an actual official medal, like a Purple Heart or something.

Wouldn't it be a bit pathetic hanging a little medal that came free with a video game up on your wall like you were some sort of hero?

Four days till Brotherhood. That is all.

I don't care, I would like to have had it, I never said anything about showing it off.

Also, grabbed the collector's edition of Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 on Wednesday

I got Fallout: New Vegas about three weeks ago. Funny thing, it activates through Steam, which also keeps track of how long you've played a given game.

I'm at 130 hours and climbing.
