The official I Love Games XBOX 360 and XBOX LIVE thread!

ahh u r reg delmot aicmfp

the game is like some sort of zen crack

fuck, i suppose i have to as well.

see if anyone can beat my time on rock'n'drop (near the end on medium difficulty); only track I'm top of my friends list on at the minute

nnnnnnnggggghhhh so addictive

haha thanks to my live username i was just totally baffled by what you were saying for about a minute

it's ten bucks, right?

haha that did occur to me :)

btw 98th in the world on tired hill reginald delmot. you better step up ur game

1200 space dollars, forks

What is that in american earth money? 15? i can never keep that shit straight.

oh man my wrists hurt.

the difficulty curve on this is beautiful. easy is just put the hammer down and learn to balance; medium is finesse, letting go of the throttle from time to time, and learning the tracks; and hard is pure technique.

how come only czn's scores show up for me? i'm pals with forks n justen.

oh wait i got justen & jefflev confused. all those 'j's. yup.

jefflev what is yr tag?

jefflev13

hay dudes my tag is 'gooole' w/ 3 os but i don't do pvp much. battlefield 43?

Btw if peeps have not added me I am "nnnnnggggghhhhh"

i'm 'goeff tips'.

or maybe 'geoff tipps'. I didn't choose it and can't remember..

that's geoff not goeff :|

i'm 'polyphonique'

i don't do much pvp except for wimpy arcade games.

jesus, that was a four hour session there. I will friend you folks.

this game is designed to make the tiny ocd part of my brain take over and keep me up all night, so i am going to opt out.

Trials HD is definitely the new king of "just one more" gameplay, thanks to the leaderboards (and having friends actually playing it, unlike on PC), plus instant restarts and the generous checkpoint system. I just beat the 3rd hard level in 8+ minutes and 95 restarts, then watched the #1 replay just roll through it with no faults in 39 seconds = mind blown.

Any advice on the hill climb mini game? For whatever reason I can't even get the bronze 50 meters...

Defnitely enjoy the easier tracks, where it's much more about speed and balance and crazy jumps, but there's a certain thrill to struggling through the more difficult stuff too.

Hoping to try out the track editor over the weekend

do not beat my scores any of you, else you will be removed from my friends list so I can remain number one in my mind forever

I am warning yous!

No worries, I have retreated to the warm embrace of beating all the clear every peg challenges on peggle.

OK bitches gauntlet thrown

hard 1 - rise & fall - 00:47.406, no faults

make that 00:38.386, no faults

Hill climb: you have to straighten the bike out and keep it in low gear the whole way up. I think I almost hit the top when I spun out.

game is worse than crack cos at least u have to go out and get crack

Probably worth its own thread at this point:
Trials HD - "worse than crack cuz u gotta go out and get crack"

hoooo boy this demo of call of juarez suuuuuucccks

agreed. Love the arkham demo though!

i got a copy of the call of juarez prequel 'bond of blood' or whatever and it is incredibly boring. not to mention you play as a southerner in the civil war...

any game with bullet-time events can fuck right off imho

I found the first one boring and was hoping this one would be a little better-- I read a good review of it, where, on Joystiq?

I still think there's a great Western game out there to be made. Maybe this new Red Dead game will be it?

ok super down with the mini-ninjas demo. this could be great i think.

Tell me more about this Battlefield 1943.

Battlefield 1943

xxp not that I've played the demo for Mini Ninjas but I've been awaiting that game ever since I saw a video of its gameplay. I think it comes out sept 1. I'll know then by reviews whether or not I will finally purchase a new game for any system... probably will get mini ninjas on wii..

I just got one of these recently, am iforry72 if anyone wants to add me. It's so noisy! I guess I will sign up for gold live soon as well.

I turned off the Mini Ninjas demo before it was over. Cute, but kinda boring imo

if - depending on what size hard drive you got (if you got one), you can now install your games onto it to cut down on the noise a fair bit. Still need to put in the disc for a disc check, but it's probably worth it (50% percent less noise or so?).

NHL '10 demo is dope. I think I'm going to buy my first hockey game since NHL '94!

ok wet demo? unsure. enjoyed it. hated the filmstock tricks, worried about the quicktime events aspect of the final stage but hmmmm

I liked the red filmstock segment a lot! I think the quicktime events were a little dumb but also kinda fun. I'll probably rent that one.

oh no, the red was cool, i was just meh towards the grain/cel damage tricks

Jeff - thanks for the advice! I had actually only played XBLA games at that point so hadn't even contended with full noise, will definitely use that trick now.

yeah, it's a lot quieter if - and games load quicker too and play better ime

I only have a 20 gig hard drive, and I only have room to install one game (maybe two). It's a drag because the bigger 360 hard drives are absurdly expensive, but I do want to be able to install all my games (and/or possibly buy some of those complete downloads if they get anything good up there that i don't have). Not having to even put a disc in the 360 is my ideal.

some games are nearly unplayable w/out installing - the framerate on mass effect and skate.2 after you've installed them is exponentially better
