I'm def. renting it to see if I like it.

Anyone try the Bad Company: Battlefield demo yet? I downloaded it and its pretty cool. Almost exact controls as COD4. Def not as good as COD4, but its a different game...larger levels...you can drive vehicles..helicopters tanks etc...I guess if you played the other Battlefields you know what its like.

The Spore Creture Creator was leaked a few days early. I made a goatse creature.

[Diomedes]

Is it cool?  (the Creature Creator, not your goatse..)

[General_Failure]

Yes, yes it is. You're limited with the number of parts to add on, but there's still plenty to play with.

[Diomedes]

Yay, glad to hear.  I'm interested in this game, curious to hear what people think of it, etc.

Limited as in, you have fewer options with the leak than you will with the full version?  Or limited as in, that's just the way it is?

[General_Failure]

Limited as in there's only five sets of eyes, mouths, etc. to chose from in this demo version. There's plenty of room for more of all that stuff. The limited number of hands doesn't seem to have stopped the Maxis folks from having a couple dozen creatures of their own for people to play with.

Lost Odessey is pretty cool. Def. traditional RPG. Its freakin hard...I'm on the 2nd boss and I've attempted it at least 10 times...no go

Remind me who the boss is. I remember one being a little difficult early on. I might be able to give some specific tips.

The best thing is to train and learn as many techniques from accessories as possible though generally.

Also, after the first few bosses, the rest of the bosses in the game are cake. Except for a few optional bosses. One is really tough, but the storyline bosses are pretty damn easy.

I'm at the Gate...There are little crabs up front and a big worm like boss....sucks the magic fromt he crabs then kicks your ass....I figured I have to kill the crabs so the worm can't get their magic...but they respawn...it never ends....I killed the big worm....then a new one pops out...fargin pain in the ass

Make sure everyone uses the yellow band to learn anti-paralysis. Then make sure one of Kaim or Seth can use water attacks on the main boss. Use Jansen for prism so he can damage all the little bugs at once. Then finish them off with attacks. Before they respawn, damage the main boss with water spells and attacks.

Also try casting all-barracada before the main boss does his major attack.

[mussa]

i thought since they were water creatures then water magic wouldn't do damage. I was using fire magic...earth and flame rings for Kaim and Seth. I have some training to do then. I dn't have barracada. thanks

Did you download the extra download content from Xbox Live? I'm not sure if it is free yet, but people who pre-ordered it got an extra item from Xbox Live. They said eventually it would be free for all players.

Anyway, it is an accessory that gives you weapon guard 2. It really helps in one particular battle you'll have later on. It saved my ass in that battle. It is good to have but takes 100 points to master.

Check out XBL and see if it is on there. It may help you also.
