Has anyone else tries this Operation Darkness demo? Once you actually figure everything out this game is sweet! Cover Ambush has got to be the greatest thing in gaming history.

[King Ellis]

I've been meaning to try it actually, I may delete my GRID demo later and download the OD one.

Just played the new Dragonball Z demo on Marketplace. Looks pretty darn, graphically I mean. I easily went through the demo, just bashing buttons basically, so not much of a challenge really. Gonna download GRID now.

For the back compatibility updates you can take a file from the Xbox.com website and burn it to a CD. Then pop it in the console and it should do its thing.

Dear Microsoft,

Please consider making Xbox Live an 18+ service, or at least give some sort of age/gamertag filtering option, so I don't have to deal with the legions of fucking idiots screaming over headsets, yelling mom jokes or constant obscenities, or the dipshits deciding that because they're losing they'll fuck everything up for the other players. I could go on.

Ta.

I tried the Viva Pinata demo last night, and I went to go buy it. Fuck EB Games and fuck Wal-Mart for not having it. Well...they had Party Animals, and no, I want the original!

Ugh. If only that would solve things.

I have heard countless racist arguments over the headsets from grown (haha) men. White guys calling out black guys. Black guys calling out white guys. White and black guys calling out Mexicans. Tough guy Americans bashing English people for the accents. It aggravates the shit out of me. I wouldn't wear a headset, but when playing Call of Duty, I hear it over the television anyway. And I don't want my wife to wonder why I play with such idiots.

I have 2 Viva Pinatas here too

[Ruki]

Obviously, you should give me one of them

Have you been dabbiling in a Forza 2/Viva Pinata & Wireless Controller deal?

Fuck ass.

I called another EB Games, and apparnetly the game has been discontinued. My only option is to rent it at Blockbuster (assumign they have it) or to buy it online. Or wait for VP2 to come out....but that takes too long.

Nah.

Gamestation had it used for £2.99.

I couldn't resist.

[Ruki]

Not too expensive at ebay....although that does me nothing as I lack a credit card. Bah! Why did I have to try this game and like it!?

....and not buy it while it was still available.

[zero]

Amazon sells it for $19.99 brand new... I haven't seen anything about it being discontinued.

[Ruki]

The person at EB games said that to me, not sure how much truth there is to it. But I found it for $23 at Blockbuster and picked it up.

Welcome to the club (Y).

It's a shame to be in the club, While I'm here has anyone played MXvsATV: Untamed? i rented it but never got the chance to play it as my console red ringed before i could put it in, It it a sign or is the game good?
