Let me know your thoughts on Splinter Cell when/if you play it.

Can you list the reviews.

My disc won't work as usual. This is getting silly. 2 out of every 3 demo discs never work for me.

My demos never work either. When my sub runs out in May I won't be renewing, not worth it.

I've never had a problem with any of the discs, for what it's worth.

I played it and I feel like it's running out of juice!

The first Splinter Cell was owesome and pandora tomorrow was great but it seem like it was losing juice. Now Chaos Theory seems like it could be the last game if they don't go back to the board.

When I was playing the game it almost felt like I was playing Manhunt Manhunt might be a good game but it gets boring ater a while so the same feels about Chaos Theory.

Chaos Theory is a faster game and less sneaking around. At the start of the game I turn off some lights and the guard came to check it out and the opportunity rises and I take him out without a problem. The other Guard inside the tent is just standing there so I throw a brink and it doesn't do anything! I basically walked up to him/ shut down the transfromer and kill him, uh, boring.

have you tried boiling the disc? (This is not a joke! I do this now and then when the discs won't work)

Get about two cups of water and pour in a pot/pan small enough to fit the DVD. Let the water boil and then you drop the disc inside for about 2 minutes. I usually push down the disc with a spoon because the boiling water will likely bring the disc to the surface.

Afte two minutes have passed take the disc out and dry it. You can either wait for to cool down or just place it directly to the xbox. See the magic!!

From what I've read the XBox Arcade stuff is not on the disc. It's listed on the outside, but inside the magazine towards the back they state that there were problems so the Arcade stuff was left off.

The X-box Arcade stuff is not on there. I loved the look of Splinter Cell but gameplay was more of the same. Multiplayer will still suck everyone in though. I will probably pick it up when it hits $30 cause I'm not a big multiplayer fan of the game.

Not a big Unreal fan so I won't pick this one up.

Conker demo make another apperance. I really liked "Metal Arms" and expect my "cute" killers to be like that and so I was disappointed and won't pick it up.

I was bummed to see the Conker demo a second time.

I'm also not a huge fan of Splinter Cell because I suck at the games. They look amazing but I just get impatient sneaking around. The demo is cool but it's not something I plan on getting.

Unreal was ok but the new weapon/fighting system didn't do it for me.

Worms 3D was the one game on this disc that I thought would be great but I think I prefer the older versions of the game.

Live Arcade would of saved this issue for me had it not been taken off at the last moment.

Best Buy is giving the Live Arcade discs away. For some strange reason, Mechassault 2 is on the front of the case though.

I thought the UC2 demo was pretty cool. Splinter Cell looked great, played well, but didn't grab me.

Why did they give us the same Conker demo as a few months ago? Weak.

This is true. I've only had 1 demo disc not work but, after doing the boiling thing, it was fine.

Repeating the Conker demo was indeed lame. I've never had the patience for any of the Splinter Cells, too much get spotted once, repeat the section until you perform it flawlessly. Oddly enough i've loved every Thief game though. Perhaps if i'm a spy with a gun i feel like i ought to be able to kill more than a rogue with a bow.... Either way Garrett was definately a cooler lead.

UT2 i actually really enjoyed. As anyone who has played Halo2 with me can attest, i do better in the close up fights so having a melee system was a dream for me. I will wait a bit to pick it up however.

Has anyone worked out the code for the easter egg yet?
