DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
Okay, consensus time : Small Arms, Assault Heroes or Heavy Weapon? Which is the best, and why do they all have such generic, interchangable names?

DVD Talk Hero
Because they're generic, interchangable games.
Assault Heroes had the most fun co-op.
Heavy Weapon has the best single palayer.
Small Arms has the best battle mode.

Heavy Weapon is a great shooter. Controls basically like Smash TV. The free trial mode has a lot of game time compared to some of the other games.
I bought Small Arms and I really like it too. I didn't care for Assault Heroes much.

I only have "Small Arms" out of the three you're asking about but it is a sweet game especially in the online battle mode. If more people on my friends list had it I'd play it all the time.
BTW nice summary of the previous threads L&O.
Sorry if I missed it before but is there any indication as to when the IPTV service is going live?

Any new news on Culdcept Saga?
Also, in case anyone is still playing Oblivion, the newest OXM demo disc had the Wizard's Tower and the Pirate Ship downloads for free on the disc.

Anyone else have a chance to try out Crackdown yet?
Only had a chance to play for 10min, but so far if you enjoy GTA, you may like this as well. Increasing your stats and approaching objectives your way sound good, can't wait to try online co-op as well.

Alright, someone explain this one. First look where I live:

Now my 360 is on it's way back to me and pulled up this tracking info this morning:
It was in Louisville at 3am yesterday, but now it is on its way to Lexington?

Dude I'd be calling UPS and freaking out on someone.........tell them you want it on a delivery truck and at your door Today! I've had similar things happen to me in the past and generally when you go apeshit on someone at UPS they'll make things right.

Instead it showed "departed" for two days before suddenly showing up in Jacksonville, FL. After much complaining, they overnighted it to Michigan for me, but other than that and a "we're sorry", there was really nothing else they could do.

I'm sure the delivery man is his brother who is actually his cousin who married his mother.... Not sure why that would make it later... But I'm sure it has something to do with it.

I've had the same thing happen Corvin . I live in Kentucky and have ordered stuff from UPS and had them ship it to Louisville / Lexington / Louisville and then finaly back to my place. I friggin' hate UPS .
How's the Crackdown demo? I will have to wait another week for us Silver users can download it. Guess I need to renew my Gold membership, but I haven't had time to play online.

The Crackdown demo is extremely entertaining. I'm really digging the skill learning aspects of the game as well as the almost limitless draw distance.
The demo is limited to an hour overall, but once any skill level (driving, fighting, shooting, etc) reaches the level 2, a 30 minute timer kicks in. There are orbs all over the city which power up those abilites and increase the level of the skill. I spent most of my morning playtime attempting to level up my jumping / agility skills. Launching yourself from rooftop to rooftop is insanely fun.
I didn't like the targeting / aiming system, but it has a bit of a learning curve. I'll attempt to familiarize myself more with it later. I haven't tried out the co-op either.
But definitely download the demo. And join me for some co-op later.
