Holy shit, Just seen an Advert for Call Of Duty 3, I can easily say I WANT THAT FUCKIN' GAME! :D

I might take back Smackdown vs Raw 2007, and trade it in for Gears of War, or Rainbow Six Vegas soon.  The game is pissing me off now.  The CPU just reverses all of my moves at times, and I'm only playing on normal difficulty. :s

Switch to Easy then or sort the A.I settings out.

I prefer playing the game online, 4 way Ladder match, Fuck it's hilarious everyone trying to go for the belt.

and people leaving the game because they're sore losers.

And maybe buy Gears of War while i'm there. :D

My collection:
Project Gotham Racing 3
Gears of War
Dead Rising
Over G Fighters

And I've also owned and traded in Perfect Dark Zero (crap), COD2 (brilliant) and GRAW (very very good).

Well I played my 360 on my old Sanyo for a few weeks until I got my 26 inch HDTV and the difference IS profound. I think it's sour grapes to say it isn't...They are hella expensive though. Gears of War is superb. I can't wait for Rainbow Six either. Xbox/360 rules for shooters. All my Sony fanboy friends ONLY play ISS Pro Evo and nothing else. They'll all pay hundreds and hundreds of pounds for PS3s to do the same, play some crap looking footie game which never changes from year to year, suckers  :D

Yeah i know what you mean, But Ps2 is good for a few good exsclusive titles though which i think are worth owning the console for, Ps3 will be the same but..Xbox 360 has all the games i want and fuckin' shit hot new ones for it, So i'm going with that now.

I've gotten good at it all of a sudden.  I can beat my opponents in like 3 or so minutes now.  Weird.  I'm enjoying it now, but I'll still probably trade it in around March time, as I'll probably be sick of it by then.

I bought Tony Hawk's Project 8.




And ... Uhm, Gears of War. I couldn't help myself, haha. :D But, no Wireless modem for the 360, my friend at the store told me to keep away from it. So I did, and now i'm gonna move the router from my dad's room to my room, so the chord can reach it. Can't wait to start gaming online. :)

Any chance you could quiz your good friend a little about that wireless modem? It's my only hope for getting on Live, save a fifteen thousand fathom phone cable.

It's simply not fast enough. Like, you can stream movies from your computer through your X Box, but the wireless network isn't even fast enough to stream those movies. Just an example.

Tony Hawk's project 8 is awesome. Truly the best in the series. No psycho tricks and no flying from giant buildings performing a million tricks.

The slowmotion elements that allows you to controle the legs of your character is off the hook ! Great game so far. Haven't even put on Gears of War yet. Ah, well ... Tomorrow. :)

Yes. I watch porn from my PC on my HDTV thanks to that option in Xbox 360.

Corleone

awesome, so do I have to buy 2 wireless hubs or something? can you help me out with this mozzy wozzy?

Moz La Punk

Well I dont know exactly, all I know is that I have wireless internet for both my PC and my Xbox 360, both need a router for that of course or whatever the fuck they are called. The 360 one is pretty pricey to be honest, dont remember exactly how much.

I only have Windows Media Connect though, the cheap free version which only lets me play WMV videos. SUcks because I have lots of porn in AVI. Anyone know a good video transformer?

Subliminal, don't get COD 3. It's a piece of shit, because rather than be developed by the crack team that did COD 2 - Infinity Ward, it was made by fucking Treyarch. They've fucked up the game so badly.

COD 3 offers a fairly average single player, which whilst ok to play, is nowhere near as momentous or as cinematic as COD 2, quite simply because the battles have been recreated with zero passion. The supposed new 'melee combat gameplay mechanic' is actually a few scripted events, and they're over very easily. It offers four Allied team - US, Canada, Poland, Britain. Whilst it's nice to finally have acknowledgement for both Canada and Poland in a video game, they're both also using British weapons (as they did indeed do), which unfortunately, is not a wise gameplay choice. Speaking of which...

The weapons are the worst friggin' part. COD 2 provided a great set of weapons - four teams worth (in multiplayer) - and all those weapons felt very different to each other, and all had specific benefits to practice, and flaws to be wary, but become ultimately experienced of. Unfortunately, the weapons in COD 3 are absolute crap. Those that were brought back from COD 2 have worse functionality - with the exception of the shotgun, (wow) - and most of the guns are too identical, or lack the character they once had. Better yet, you can't even use the British weapons in multiplayer, because you can only be either American or German.

The new multiplayer mode War is essentially King Of The Hill, and you have to capture three Hills in a row to win. Unfortunately, there are only two hills per map, so you just run from one to the other for ten minutes. It's a complete see-saw game, where a winner is decided by the sheer luck of having blasted everybody on the opposing team at the right time for them all to have to wait to spawn whilst you capture a hill, rather than actual strategy. The maps themselves are bloody awful, and most of the time you find yourself being blown to shit as soon as you turn a corner by some stupid bastard who won't stop jumping into a tank as soon as he spawns, making for a ludicrously uneven game.

All the multiplayer Achievements are dependant on Ranked matches, and nobody can bloody get into them. Multiplayer is shoddy as Hell, and the single player, well... it was recreated with such apathy that the only moment which provoked an emotional reaction in me was the last battle of the Polish campaign.

Avoid it like the plague. Get COD 2 instead if you haven't already. If you don't believe me, just visit the IGN boards and look at the long list of complaints. Only good things about COD 3 are the graphics, the improved shotgun and the focus blur as you're aiming down the sight of your gun.

I've got about 16 360 games, and it is easily one of the worst. On the other hand, if anybody hasn't got FEAR, then you need to get that game, because it's fucking amazing. It's not particularly scary - not to me anyway, but I'm a Silent Hill/Resident Evil nutball - but the action is just so good.
