    It's really funny but the gameplay is stale. The 2nd Simpsons driving game (hit and run I think) was a lot of fun.


    Anyone see the Microsoft Annoucments about timed gameplay? Parents can set a restriction on how many hours their kid can play the box a day/week. Once they get to that time, it shuts off.

    That's just criminal


    Firmare 2.0 is coming out tomorrow without much of what people expected it to have. Big thing is remote start from the PSP and limited options in media bar customization. Let's up there is going to be a big update this holiday season.

    Not only that, but if you just go ahead and sign up for GameFly, you can basically get any game you want whenever you want it and keep it until you finish it, and then buy it really cheap or just send it back. Plus, they are always sending you $5 coupons to apply to the already-cheap prices.

    It's always better to get it legit and only pay about $15 for it, than waste time with pirated crap.

    Ofcourse why not?!
    I had about 120 games for PS2 and all of them we're pirates.
    I'm not downloading games either,I modificate my XBOX360 SO I can play copied games on it.
    XBOX live?
    Two accounts?
    Is that going to help? ;)

    ok, good luck, btw, they ban your xbox360, so two accounts won't matter, however, two xboxs (one not modded and totally legit) will be the only fool proof to make sure you can ALWAYS game online.

    Bah, this title should've being:

    "Which system is easier and cheaper to bootleg for" :D

    I bought a PS3, mostly for the Blu-ray player. That and I hate Halo (and pretty much all FPS) so Microsoft really dosn't have any appeal for me.

    Well, sometimes there is high demand for certain ones, but I have never seen a situation where they simply didn't HAVE the games I wanted.

    Plus, a little trick I learned, is to simply empty out your queue of all games except the one you want. That way, they can't send you something down on your list, and they HAVE to put your name near the top of the list for the hottest new arrivals. :)

    Works pretty well - that's how I got Bioshock very quickly after it hit (still playing it too), and how I am able to try out some slightly-interesting games that I may or may not want to pay full price for, stuff for the kids maybe.. for example, it's how I discovered that Fight Night 3 for the 360 totally sucks, and allowed me to keep on fighting on FN2 for regular XBox.
