The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

Sports!

Stuff like Rise of Nightmares seems like a departure but is also apparently Crapcorn so...

[Cactus Drags]

Rise of Nightmares is awful. Child of Eden and Gunstringer are brilliant. Apparently so is Fruit Ninja, which I think you get a free code for with Gunstringer.

I traded in my Kinect and got a Wii so....yay?

Trading innovative hardware for obsolete hardware.

[Dan]

Kinect is fun, I'm selling mine to my sister for my niece for Christmas though, she'll play it a hell of a lot more than me and we need the money for the baby.

Kinect Sports 1 + 2 are must buys, even if you're not THAT into sports.

[Ruki]

I traded in my Kinect and got a Wii so....yay?

Trading innovative hardware for obsolete hardware.

Trading something that wasn't ever being used for something I can get tons of games I actually wanna play.

Right, RAAM's Shadow comes out tommorrow for Gears 3 and me and Benji are going to rock it. Who else has the Season Pass or is buying it? I mean you Ellis Who else? Ruki? Maxx? Bret Hart?

[RoHitman Reigns]

12 DAYS OF GEARSMAS

[Captain Eo]

Been out the Xbox live scene since early 2010.

And I just got a $60 gift card for Gamestop. I know I'm picking up Saints Row the 3rd but any other multiplayer online games or XBLA arcade titles I should invest in? Rule of thumb is I use my PS3 for multiplayer and exclusive titles but I'm going to start using my 360 more since the online community is miles ahead.

[King Ellis]

Fortifications for free?

Insane horde attempt?

[Benji]

Defo. Who will replace Summ?

[Benji]

Oh fuck, that's tonight. We need to play tonight lads! 6PM onwards, we fortify for free!

[RoHitman Reigns]

Gimme a shout, I'm down.

[9 to 5]

At the minute, the DLC won't download for those with the season pass. >_>

But aye I will be on for whatever tonight.

[Benji]

If you go on, let me know, I'll be watching RAW, but as soon as that's done or someone else goes on them I'm down for it.

[RoHitman Reigns]

I've been on, waiting for you guys before I put gears in.

[9 to 5]

I will be on later. Since the DLC is trying to screw me and everyone with a season pass, we can Horde it no worries.

For the mountain of prizes, we’ll let most of those be a surprise, but we will tell you there may be a Gears of War 3 Vault by Calibur11! Stay tuned for more information.

[King Ellis]

As far as I can tell, you have to buy the thing to begin with and then you get its next upgrade free but that's it so, I dunno, probably puts that whole insane plan out the window.

[Benji]

Wrong way round I think. First level is free, the rest cost.

[King Ellis]

I've only tried it in a private game by myself but I paid 500 for the first spike fence thing, I was able to upgrade to wire fence for free and then the laser one is however much.

Same with turret. Retro turret costs 2000 or whatever, it's free to upgrade it to Lancer but it's 4000 to go on to Troika.

We can play with candy cane and mint skin guns though so, yay?
