EVERY game?

Man, I thought I was bad for having 33. :)

It's a rare game that I end up playing for more than a week. In that week I've either beaten it (to the best of my abilities) or gotten tired of it. I just don't like spending $60 on a game.

That same $60 gets me 6-12 games that I end up playing just as much. If I total up all the arcade games I really didn't like, it would still be under the $60 I spent on my least-liked game.

I'm still missing a few: Jetpac Refueled, Double Dragon, and maybe one more.

Except all the games you bought have zero value.

So does going to a movie in a theatre, or eating at McDonald's. If he gets a week or two of playtime out of his $5-10, I'd say he got his money's worth.

Where do you change these settings? The System blade? I'm pretty sure I looked all over.

You get to the settings by pressing the silver x in the middle of the controller, the 'user blade' pops up on the left and its down a few--cant remember what its called--player settings? Personal settings? then go to headset/mic and you can select 'through speakers' or 'headset and speakers' etc...

Blue Dragon Demo available tomorrow (need Japanese account)

(props to PacoDG at CAG for the head's up)


Looks like it was false info...sorry

Thanks I'll give this a shot tonight.

Have you guys been noticing a lot of Game Updates lately? I swear, some games I'm playing like Lost Planet, Star Trek Legacy and others have had updates more than once in the last few days. Yet I can't find anything aobut these updates. I've played them a lot in the last few weeks so it's not like I'm getting old missed updates.

Didn't Blue Dragon come out some time ago? Why do they have a demo up in Japan just now?

Supposedly for the Korean market that's coming out soon. The demo's supposed to be in English too.

Just wanted to add that I finally got TVersity working, and have no idea how I did so, since I tried every possible combination before with no luck. I tried so many things, I can't remember what the last setup was that I used, the one that actually worked. Now I am like Joey and Chandler on Friends when they got the free porn channel, and were afraid to turn it off. I don't want to reboot my computer, or reset the 360, since I am afraid that I will never be able to stream video again.

At work so I can't see what other games you have/play. Do you have Frogger? Gyruss? Been wanting to unlock the co-op achievements on those, but can't ever find games.

Yeah I got frogger but I am the suck at it.

I got like 33 arcade games so I'm sure I got something

I never got it, or the media streaming, to work for some reason. Dunno. Weird since the Xbox can see the PC. I don't have the time to screw with it. For that matter, my PC is down with a bad PSU anyway. (Damn you, Antec!).

Frogger seems abnormally hard for some reason.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but for some reason Frogger seemed easier to me when I switched the graphics from enhanced to classical. I seem to remember that other people here mentioned the same thing when it was first released on XBLA.

:wave: Same here.

Is there a site that keeps track of the most popular games being played on L!ve (similar to how Gamespy keeps track of online PC games)? I will finally be picking up a 360 this week and would like to pick up couple of games. GOW will be one, but I was thinking about picking up another (be it a 360 or Xbox title) that has a strong online community.

xmiyux 05-22-07 02:07 PM

Check out Major Nelson's blog. He normally does a list, i believe, of the weekly top titles.

I usually eschew the enhanced graphics versions to keep with nostalgia, but I will give it a shot.

I'm not sure if you read my post incorrectly, but what I meant was it was easier when I used classic graphics, not enhanced.

Or maybe I'm reading your post incorrectly :shrug:
