The new patch apparently made problems worse. But that was for 360 and you play on PC right? I'm not sure if the same applies to both platforms.

[General_Failure]

I play the PC version, but the patch didn't fix shtein for me. I had to go through the whole long list of community fixes before I could get it to work properly.

Sounds really cool, but it'll be a few years before I even think of buying one.

Picked up Fable 3, didn't do the pre-order so I don't get the nerd sword and tattoo.

I just got a beta key for Bloodline Champions. Looks interesting, but team PVP is not my cup of tea. It seems that key comes with two extra, so send me a message if you want one. Unlikely, but I figured I'd offer anyway.

There was once a time in my life when I could just dump time into something like that.  No longer.

Besides, I'm not much for teams either.  The requirement to interact with other people takes all the fun out of it.

yeah just started to see the commercials for it. seems really cool as it's not just about using controllers but i'm not into video games like i used to be so dropping a $150 right for it is too much.

i would like to start geting back into some of the war games though. i stopped at graw 2.

anyone have some good ones to recommend ?

I agree

COD Black ops comes out 11/09/10 i think, who knows how glitchy it'll be

[mussa]

Glitchy or not, its still the best 1st person shooter out there other than maybe Halo series. I'm getting Black Ops

[Munson]

Still wish they'd go back to WW2....but either way it'll be good

[mussa]

Like there wasn't enough WW2 games for you? Jesus christ thats all there was for years.

Here are the kill streak rewards for Black Ops:

3    Spy Plane -  Shows enemies on the mini-map (destructible).
3    RC-XD -  Remote controlled car strapped with explosives (destructible and has a time limit).
4    Counter-Spy Plane - Temporarily disables enemy mini-map.
4    SAM Turret - Airdrop a placeable SAM turret that destroys aircraft.
5    Care Package - Airdrop a random killstreak, Special Weapon, or ammo crate.
5    Napalm Strike - Airstrike that covers an area in fire which burns for a set period of time.
6    Sentry Gun - Airdrop a placeable Sentry Gun.
6    Mortar Team - Targets three locations to bombard with Mortar Strikes.
7    Attack Helicopter - Call in a Cobra attack helicopter (Non-flyable and destructible)
7    Valkyrie Rockets - Launcher with two remote controlled rockets.
8    Blackbird - Call in an SR-71 Blackbird recon plane revealing enemies and their direction on the mini-map (not destructible).
8    Rolling Thunder - Call in a B-52 Carpet Bombing.
9    Chopper Gunner - Control of a door-mounted minigun from inside a Huey helicopter (destructible).
11    Attack Dogs - Call in a pack of vicious attack dogs.
11    Gunship - Pilot a Hind attack helicopter (destructible). The pilot has rockets and a machine gun. The same HUD as the helicopter in the mission "Payback" is used for this killstreak.

And apparently you can dive to prone position in this game. Thats pretty sweet IMO, they also made it so you can't instantly start shooting when you dive into prone, so it doesn't turn into everyone diving, there is a slight delay to keep that from happening.

Anyone pick up the zombie add-on for Red Dead Redemption? How is it? Worth the $10?

[Diomedes]

Nope.  I borrowed that game from a friend a couple weeks ago.  It's alright so far, not sure it's good enough to warrant another storyline.

I like the hunting best of all.  I think I want to try a hunting game.

[mussa]

Yeah best hunting game ever. All the others ones I have tried are terrible...
