Whatcha playn?

Hey gang, new to the group just wondering who is on xbox and what r u playing?

I'm on Xbox and I'm playing Left 4 Dead 2. Going to have a hardcore gaming sesh for the whole day since I'm off =)

I'm playing Red Faction Guarrilla, Halo 3 (starting tomorrow), RES 5, Splinter Cell Conviction.

Crackdown 2. It should be good fun, although I'm not so sure if I dare try the multiplayer.

On Xbox, currently playing Alan Wake. Note to self - must return that to the store tomorrow.

Lately I've been playing Resident Evil 5, Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Halo: ODST, and Splinter Cell: Conviction.
I might get my Modern Warfare 2 fixed this weekend, and then I'll be playing that as well.

I'm usually on past midnight in my time zone (which is the same as central US) all the way to around 5AM.
But sometimes I'm also on in the later afternoon/early evening.

How is Sniper: Ghost Warrior?

Alot of reviewers complained about it being pretty buggy and not that good, si I'm wondering.

Yeah, it's buggy, but so far, I've only encountered a single bug I did care about... it drained my health and forced me to heal myself 4 times, just before a part where I really needed that health. The rest are pretty insignificant.

The gameplay is alright, the plot is not that great as I had anticipated, the music is a little on the monotonous side (someone teach their composer some music theory! You can really make a great difference with a roll, break, or small variation every 8 bars...), the graphics aren't that great either... but despite all that, I'm having a lot of fun with it!
I did come across a very big disappointment for me: the sniper rifles. There's only 4, and they're almost the exact same... how the hell can a silenced 7.62x51mm pack the same punch as a .50 cal?
I did like the light effects and the sniper mechanics, though.

I read GameSpot complained about the difficulty... while it's true that the AI can spot you very easily, I don't think it's much harder than Modern Warfare 2 at Hardened or Veteran difficulty... well, at least in the game's Normal difficulty. Haven't played it on Hard yet.

So far, I'm half-way through the single-player campaign, and my only attempt at multiplayer failed because there weren't many people online (then again, it was 4AM).

I paid 40 bucks for the game, and that was alright... maybe if I had payed the full $60 I'd be disillusioned, but as it is, it's good enough.
If I were you, though, I'd probably wait until the price dropped further.
Definitely, Sniper Elite was an overall better game than this.

From the demo, I'd say: good game. Not exceptional. But good. Sniping mechanics are pretty smooth, but sometimes the AI see you when you can't even see them down a gorram scope which is a touch annoying.

I rented it. It's pretty entertaining from what I've seen, but JBO noted that it got pretty samey towards the end. I'll likely rent it again at some point if I don't find it cheap anywhere.

Transformers War For Cybertron isn't all that bad, the ai sucks but the game is ok. Been Playing through the first crackdown and replaying prototype.

Lips and Rock Band

I play mainly Modern Warfare 2, with an occasional match of FIFA or playing a couple songs on Rock Band.

I'm going to have to see if I can't get my hands on a copy of FIFA for the Xbox. I have it on PS3, but my girlfriend stole my PS3 and is currently wearing the FIFA disc out.

Which one are you playing, FIFA 10 or the World Cup edition?

I'm playing FIFA 10. Not sure if I want to get World Cup as I'm shit at the game.

Yeah, that's what I've got on the PS3. Good game, just a shame the heading mechanics are so damn broken.

I have FIFA 10 on X360 and World Cup on PS3.
I still like FIFA 09 better.

What do you mean heading mechanics? For heading the ball?

Yeah. Headers are just so broken - almost every single header is a rubbish floaty one that either goes miles over the bar or straight down the keeper's throat. I've seen a CPU-controlled Wayne Rooney miss a standing header into an open goal from six yards out.

Normally it wouldn't bother me too much, but as my preferred playstyle is to get the ball out wide and cross it in, this understandably has impacted on my performance somewhat.
