xbox 360 rules

Man, If been really enjoying the RPG game for xbox360 called Risen. Its gameplay was a little rough around the edges when I started out but now the game is addicting. As much fun as im having I always wondered now that im back on the RPG scene what game will follow "Risen".
I just found out that xbox 360 has released 2 more RPG games. ! is called "dragon age" and the other is called "Divinity 2" Both look excellant. I didnt find a trailor for dragon age yet, but heres one for divinity 2 if anyone wants to check it out.

I've seen the one for dragon age.. it looks really nice but more action based. I like both action based and menu driven games as well. I've been buying shooters like there is no tomorrow as well as RPGs for older systems. I might get a non lazy spurt and take a pic.

Post a screenie of what you've collected so far in the Risen game SLayer.

I was playing Left For Dead coop last weekend down by my brothers on xbox 360...i kept getting vomited on by some big beasty Wolf2 looked pretty snazzy on his 67" flat screen too. Thats been the extent of my gaming the past few weeks.

Is left for dead a first person shooter. That would be neat if it was splt screen. But thats the onoe thing that xbox developers are failing at. All there games use to be split screen so you could have your buddies over and have a good time. Now everything is developed for xboxlive with very few games going split screen

L4D is fun with other players. The guy that puked on 'ya is known as a 'Boomer' because he'll blow up when you shoot him. Also there is a 'Smoker' in the game with a long tougue that will wrap around your body and start to squeeze the life out of you. There is also a 'Tank' in the game.. a really pissed off muscled up monster that isn't quite a zombie and it'll crush other zombies to get them out of it's way to get to you or your teammates. There are also 'Witch(es)' in the game.. and they are to be avoided when possible. Don't shoot cars because they sometimes have car alarms that go off and loud noises attrach HORDES of zombies (and the other previously listed vermin). I like to play this with my son because he likes and hates playing. He seems facinated with shooting zombies but is/can be very afraid of them as well. He's just a kid so that's normal.


With his facination with the zombies.. I'm sure he'll be a fine Necromancer one day soon.

Ein you sound like my nephew giving me tips after it was already too late when i was playing lol. Yea i got killed by all those baddies you mentioned. That tank wasnt too bad if a couple people teamed up on him. Yea it was split screen coop Lordy. I just dont care for FPS games on console, i need a mouse and keyboard...was still pretty fun playing though. They need to make a good ole fashioned side scrolling game...like an updated contra, moon partol, or castlevania. Or be done with it and remake the game i always loved more than any other when i was a kid in the arcade...Gyruss

Gyrus. Hmmmm.I think I remember that one, Well maybe. Is that the one where you rotated your shooter in a 360 degree circle shooting the things coming up at you. Im prolly remembering wrong. But that was a fun game none the less. My all time old video game fav was Donkey Kong. I loved it.

Oh yeah, one final comment on console first person shooters. You are 100 % correct. They suck ass. O will never get another shooter for xbox 360. I got farcry 2 for xbox 360. The original farcry I had for PC and it was one of the most fun single player games I played. I played farcry twice on the xbox and said screw this and threw out the game.

Yeah.. I tell the guys at work that I don't do console shooters.. I *might* think about doing the MW2 since it's got 18 players per server but still.. that kinda play just doesn't work without a mouse. If I could buy a mouse/keyboard for the console.. that might be tempting but the problem with that is that you run into essentially the OTHER players still having an aimbot built-in with aim assist. Gag.. cannot stand that fact. So.. no.. I just convinced myself not to consider that again.

Now.. as far as single player co-op like L4D or Left 4 Dead 2.. I could play that. It's pretty fun. Now as far as classic favorites go.. Gyrus I liked quite a bit and I also liked Galaxy Force 2. It had the 3D type feel to it and good graphics that Gyrus had. My favorite Atari game was Yar's Revenge but I also loved Phoneix and DigDug.

Think of how much fun you have while playing say.. Gyrus at the more difficult spots.. then watch the videos below.

As far as shooters in general go.. check this out as you can get it region-free for the XBOX 360:

leave it to Ein to post a 10 min game video in Japanese.

You have to admit that the bullets look amazingly difficult to avoid.. but the music is cool.

[{Ru}Zog]

Watched part of the first link you posted ein, still have to watch the 2nd one..the friggin screen is covered in bullets, how can you avoid them lol. Ein Gyruss started getting difficult after you'd pass through all the planets and start over again. Then i think all the baddies moved 2 or 3 times as fast as they did previously...i forgot they made that for atari too, but again...just wasnt the same as the arcade version. Just got a new cellphone and i think one of the games i can get for it is Galaga, might have to check that one out, that was pretty fun to play too.

I have this micro gaming system, I guess you can call it. It has 2 joysticks shaped kind of like a lazer gun from star trek, and theres an atari shaped game that plugs into one of the joysticks. It has a ton of the old school games and the kids and I play it from time to time. Some notables. It has galaga which was another fav game of mine. It also has digdug, Paper boy, Joust, Phoenix,space invaders, centipede,1943,Pooyan,arkanoid,defender. Itd fun playing those, remembering what it use to be like.
