Just finished playing two campaigns (No Mercy & Death Toll) of Left 4 Dead. This is one heck of an amazing game. Just absolutely fantastic. I played it with random people and they were pretty cool actually. We had some trouble with the final part of the No Mercy campaign when we had to wait for the chopper to arrive, but overall it went relatively smooth. I like that there is a "take a break" option with which you let the AI take over your character so the other guys can continue without you.
Wow - that is cool.Quote:

Yep, and when the AI took over I hardly noticed it. It was pretty good with assists and just generally shooting zombies. I was only playing on normal though.
I really like that the game encourages other players to look out for each other. It's the ultimate co-op game.
I FINALLY got through an intensely difficult level in Little Big Planet last night. There's a level where you have to climb up these spinning wheels ... took me for-fucking-ever to get through it.
No, only the XBox 360.Quote:

You need to go onto your netflix account via the web and add movies to your "watch instantly" queue and they will appear in your Netflix list via your XBox dashboard.
Select one and sit back and Netflix will stream the movie to your TV.
It's by far my favorite feature of the NXE.
Just started Fallout 3, and killed every damn armed guard, and the overseer. Its gonna be interesting.... :twisted:
World of Goo is fun. The demo is actually pretty long - you could spend a few hours on it.
You have to kill the overseer to forward the story, dude. NO PSYCHO POINTS FOR YOU!Quote:

I never get tired of VATS.
With only four missions on Left 4 Dead, it'll be a game where its fun wears out quickly, but I can't think of a game that was that much fun to play through.
Just awesome at the end on the Helipad. Everyone was near death, and some didn't make it on that helicopter. :(
Not exactly, you have to pay for XBox Live Gold.Quote:

I'm really, really hooked on Metroid Corruption. It has that same classic hook where I can't settle until I've found just one more item.
Video game designers are fucking evil.
I just killed everyone in the Republic of Dave, yet I didn't get negative karma.
Maybe the game awards you for killing characters who are annoying.
I'm loving Fallout 3 so far. Its really the Oblivion engine with extras and a different skill system, but hey, the Oblivion engine was pretty damn good to begin with so that's not a complaint.
I've started 3 different characters to see how the game plays out in different ways, and while the plot isn't radically different, the way you solve problems and the things you can do are - which I love since that means multiple playthroughs should still be interesting.
I saw one guy online going through the game as a cowardly pacifist not killing anything at all, and managed to get through everything. I just may have to try that.
Actually, not true. I only killed the Overseer with 1 of my 3 characters and the plot has definitely advanced.Quote:

Espesh the ones from Retro Studios.Quote:

I came this close to killing his daughter. Would that have counted?Quote:

It's a tough decision though.
I know the feeling. I got Fallout for the 360 due to hardware issues, but I'm definitely going to miss out on all the mods and such the community puts out.Quote:

I almost always lean towards console - cheaper and easier. Plus, I like playing on my huge screen.
But I will need something to try out my new PC with.
The last time I got a new PC was when HL2 came out, so I might as well continue the Valve trend...
Would they even let you do that? I have a feeling she comes back into the plot, later.Quote:
