Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Yeah, same.
I'll definitely be playing the demo before I buy the game.
Two words; Viva Pinata.
Crackdown is OK, but it gets very stale after only a few days of play. I stopped playing it after about 2 days, to be honest.
Not my proudest purchase.
It's entirely offline, single player.
Think of a mix of The Sims, Animal Crossing, and maybe... Pokemon?
You can't really compare it to other games, but it's fantastic.
Pretty much all the games people play on XBL are shooters.
R6 is the 2nd most played game on XBL, next to GoW. Heaps of people play it.
Seriously though, fun game. I'll be playing it again as soon as the Halo Beta is over.
I just can't comprehend Epic not integrating a good matchmaking system in Gears.
It's totally and utterly ridiculous.
I played a lot of Chromehounds and Rainbow Six online, some Gears, and a little Halo 3. I liked Crackdown a lot - it's a very polished game, and a lot of fun, but the online multiplayer just blows. I have MUA, and have played it online some, though I generally don't feel like beatemups are especially good for remote multiplayer; it might just be me though.
I'm pretty sure I'll pick up Shadowrun unless the reviews just savage it.
I thought it was pretty awesome and was annoyed with the way reviewers bashed the fighting system. It worked fine for me.
I saw a picture of the main character from the sequel and it seems to be shaping up to be a decent survival horror game as well.
Whoo.
I want that soundtrack on Crackdown. Rollin to Mexican gangsta rap was pretty fun. The demo has given me serious temptation to buy the game.
It's all real, licensed music. Here's the list.
I always skip to Here We Cum when driving.
edit: ze music video
That video was wicked. Thanks for the list sir.
edit - That video is really good.
Seriously though, I never cease to hate the matchmaking system for GoW. It doesnt let you play ranked with friends for whatever reason and it all ends when the host leaves anyway. Say what you will about it, but Halo 2 set the freaking standard for user interface and matchmaking in console multiplayer. Why have so many games been so slow to adopt a similar matchmaking/party system? It makes the game so much easier to jump in to and as a result, alot more enjoyable.
And may the Host be with you, always.
Games with such glaring flaws don't deserve to be played online.
If it was still the heated battles it used to be, I'd be all for it.
The problem mostly lies in the fact that the vast majority of people playing it by this point are the ultra-old hands who will kick your ass without even breaking a sweat. If I can get enough people on here interested I'll break out of my squad and make a PA squad.
Assuming the Comcast guy fixes my cable modem today, I'll be playing Shadowrun tonight, assuming any of you guys buy it.
I'm down. I've got a friend that might come over too.
The demo comes out next week, I think i'm gonna wait and see the reviews too.
Oh and who else here wants to get Two Worlds? That game had me at "8 Player co-op".
Yeah, I'm not finding any listed on GameRankings.
If you had the option to purchase one game right now, would that be it?
Chrome Hounds was fun but the online matchmaking stuff was really flawed. Don't know if they ever fixed it. I left it along time ago and I think so did the majority of other players.
Oh yeah, that's right. I wonder if there are many people online playing it.
I have to wait another two weeks until it's released here.
I didn't have any problem getting slapped into games with 12 or so other people last night, and it makes for a rockin good time. Everything seems pretty balanced right now, although the basic pistol is pretty fucking useless.
