The Xbox 360 Compendium, Version 2.4
 

New thread for Xbox 360 talk. I opted NOT to put in the starting thread info - because I think it's too out of date. If you MUST have it...here's a link to it.

Anyone else play Lumines on XBL? Man, it's slow and choppy. :/

Gears of war achievements are up:
My Love for You Is Like a Truck 30 points
Defeat a Berserker on Hardcore Difficulty

:lol:

I like "the Nuge." Pretty creative.

Yeah there are a couple of good ones on there.

Haha, that is awesome! Easily the best achievement ever.

List them. I can't find 'em.

Sometimes Deftones - you gotta kill us with kindness.

Looks like xmiyux will like number 33. His new nickname will be candystriper. :lol:

Damn straight. I'll be chilling in the back with the hot nurses while everyone else goes to the front.

*note: in my dreams the nurses are all hot and wear impractical outfits*

:lol: I imagine that you will soon become the most popular guy in the game. You will also get to choose who is worth saving if two or more people die at the same time. Oh the power you will have, wield it wisely.

So I guess that means I'm going to die alot. Sheeeet.

Deftones you'll be fine, Martin on the other hand, not so much.

Completing the tutorial is an "achievement." :lol:

I wonder how long the 5 acts will be? If they are each an hour long, then we have another 5 hour game.

i thought i heard the game will be like 8-10 hours.

It's all about the multiplayer anyway for maintaining replay value. I was playing the new Splinter Cell this evening (rented it) and doing the two tutorials netted me 2 achievements. Perhaps this is a new trend.

Heh. "Martin, you are dead to me now."


:lol:

Fine I don't give a shit, For every time you let me die I'll teamkill you twice and fill your corpse with as many rounds as my clip can hold. :D

rotfl

And this is why i <3 Xbox Live.... Damn i can't wait to get into CoD3 with you guys.

I can't wait to do some multiplayer on GoW with you guys.

Same here. I feel like the only one here who doesn't play COD2, so this'll be my first experiencing FPS'ing with you all.

I own CoD2, I just haven't done any multiplayer. I prefer Ghost Recon. Although these days I don't have much time for any online gaming. I wouldn't even re-up my Live this year if my manager didn't give me a free year of Live that he got at our manager's conference.

:confused:

Deathmatch is not my favorite style of multiplayer. I don't know if CoD2 has any co-op, or if you guys play co-op.

COD2 is deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF, headquarters and, search and destroy. It does not have a coop mode and is limited to 8 players at a time. It's the best online multiplayer game on the 360 IMO, until next month that is.

See, I prefer Ghost Recon for multiplayer. But I'll have to try and get in on some of your games.

Where the fudge was the Tony Hawk Project 8 Demo? I thought it was supposed to be here!

Fiddlesticks! I miss the darn thing too and was looking forward to checking it out!

Supposedly, both the Project 8 demo, and the XBLA version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 are showing up for some people (not me). They're not under new releases, but under Game Demos/By Genre/Sports, and Live Arcade/By Genre/Coin-Op Classics, repsectively.

Major Nelson said that they are working to get this fixed as soon as possible so that everyone may enjoy.

Well I see the Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 advert on the dashboard, but when I click it all it says is more info. I'm going back to bed till they fix it.

Wow, new arcade game on a Saturday. Perhaps a response to the Lumines backlash.

I'll get a review up ASAP if it ever shows up on Marketplace for me.

The featured download is showing UMK 3 but when I select it there is nothing to download. I am not seeing Tony Hawk either. This has been a rough week for Live.

Tony Hawk is showing now just started downloading.

When i log into xbox live the thing locks up on me. Still the green lights, and i can move between blades while logging in but as soon as i get the popup (signed in to Xbox Live) the screen freezes, the popup never goes away and i can't do anything - i need to actually turn it off at the main unit. Anyone else having an issue?

edit: After trying about 4-5 times it finally logged in with no problems. I blame the update.

I am sad though i can't re-download the PSU open beta. I never could get into the server to try it out.

Just download UMK3 and Tony Hawk. Once you go to play UMK3 you are signed out of live, so I guess online play is out for now.

Hrm, if that is the case i definately won't buy the full game then. I was really looking forward to playing this hting online against you guys. I hope it is just a glitch right now and it has online play.

edit: it might be something just with the demo version because the menu says play against your friends on Live.

Has anyone bought the game and seen if it disconnects you with the full version?
