Hey, so I decided to buy Castle Crashers and I was wondering if any of you had it as well. I know a bunch of us have GeomWars2 as well so I guess we could use this thread for stuff like that as well. But yeah, Castle Crashers anyone?
Elanzer
I heard it was good but haven't been arsed to try it.
KingTut
Its a beat-em-up that is great with friends, however I doubt it would fit your style of games as anything other then a casual play.

i heard a rumor that the original perfect dark will be an XBLA release. Oh and also on XBLA
infinity ward will be releasing the original call of duty.
KingTut
Well that's nice if they include multiplayer but, ehhhh. 1st person shooters have evolved too much in certain aspects. However if they are as timeless as HL1 is to me then I might check them out if others on the site do, but as games themselves I'm not really interested.

I'd buy Perfect Dark if it came out. That would be awesome. Castle Crashers gets two thumbs up from me, but it's a definite multiplayer game. I'd love to play through it with you guys if you're at all interested. There's loads of unlocks, it's a long game, the achievements are fun and the game contains a solid control base and some pretty bizarre, yet very entertaining humor.

Yeah Perfect dark was awesome. I would like to see goldeneye too, but we all the outcome of that =/

I've got Castle Crashers. Really fun game with someone online or off. If I'm ever on just message me and we can have a game.

Sweet, sounds good. You're Bobjim91 right?

Yep.

Disregard that, I suck cocks.

Lag is unbearable.

Less lag.

Bump'd.

I just bought MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers and it's great. At 800 points it's a steal if you like strategy; there are a multitude of different game types, decks and unlocks. There's guaranteed DLC out for it in the future, and the achievements are fun to get, if you're into that sort of thing. I love it right now and I'm really looking for a few people to play online with. My only complaint is that people tend to quit out of online matches when they see they're going to lose. In two of my first three games online, after I had sufficiently pummeled my opponent into defenseless submission they quit out of the match before my elves and I could have our way with them. It's frustrating to have to carefully plan out every move of a 20+ minute game only to have victory (and thusly also achievements) snatched right out from under you. It really is a lot of fun though, at least trial it even though it's a definite buy in my book. I need a few clever people to play online with. We could even team up instead of fight each other if you guys would prefer that smile.gif.

I FUCKING LOVE MAGIC THE GATHERING. Damn you 360fags.

Not even a little bit.

Somebody get this, please!
Elanzer
I used to bully and lol at Magic kids in school because it looked so gay. And that's coming from a fan of a boardgame like W40K for christ's sake.

That's all I'll say about that.

lol the kids in school looked ridiculously at lunch playing it. Poor kids were asking to be picked on. Sometimes you would hear them yell stuff from the game or whatever. It always made me lol

well i got bored of most of the games i have so idecided to spend 1200 points on battlefield 1943.
played the demo for the 30 min trial and i enjoyed it, nice to have planes back in the game. 3 maps so
far and a fourth will unlock when the xbox live and ps3 community kill 43 million people or so.
i haven't been able to get on any servers yet due to a higher then expected number of people buying
this game but they are getting more servers online so i'll be able to play soon enough. I'm still
not that impressed with the frostbite engine, still doesn't feel like a true battlefield game.
The_Sorrow
Let me know how it goes, I'm looking for some new games to play.

well i finally got on to a server and it was alot of fun.
Elanzer
Do not want, waiting for the real Battlefield 3.
skyfire
meh its alright, passes the time. do want bf3 tho too. gonna have to get a good desktop by then!

the sorrow and i just kicked some ass!
The_Sorrow
I actually like it. Destruction is fun, although it doesn't let you dismantle some structures. I played the tutorial just bombing the shit out of everything for like 45 minutes, and then servers actually opened up.

By the way, I picked up PGR4 as well, so we can play that tomorrow or something.

i still couldn't find my copy sad.gif

Anyone got Shadow Complex? For some reason I can't beat the game. I get to what I'm guessing is the final waypoint on the map (on a cliff) and nothing happens. I wait for a while but no helicopters come, there's no cutscene, nothing. I figured it might be because I'm missing one piece of the suit. The final piece. Anyone know how to get it?
Elanzer
I don't know what's wrong with your game, but thanks for telling me you were just finishing up on it and about to come play with me, only to leave me waiting around here for an hour while you tried to figure it out, dickhead.

l2prioritise.

I've got it, but I haven't played it too much. I've just found Claire paralyzed and hidden her behind those crates. I'm playing on hardcore, and there was one area with 6-7 guys, a few guys on three separate balconies, a couple in that fucking weird back area where they try to make it 3D-ish, and then a couple on the floor. I beat it, go past it, get killed. Have to do it again. Beat it, get past it, get killed, have to do it again. Almost broke my controller in raeg, but that's a good thing because I've been wanting some challenging games. Anyway finally got past it and now I'm... in the underground bunker thing. Fuck I don't know, but I'm pretty far past the part I described earlier.

Side note, I also picked up 'Splosion Man. Extremely fun and challenging. If anyone wants a fun but simple game I'd suggest downloading the trial and trying it out. I still haven't finished it due to a lack of playing my 360, but on the first play through the par times look absolutely insane. I guess you have to remember the damn level by heart and run it again. At least it's a good incentive to go for a second playthrough.
Crazy Asian
Splosion Man is meant for speed runs and improving score.

Still waiting for Perfect Dark

Has anyone seen the comparison screenies? The new version looks like sex.







The_Sorrow
What spoiler? Every room you enter will have 6-7 guys that you have to kill. Oh and it's in an underground cave. OMFG SPLIOERS

That part with Claire is a tiny detail... it didn't spoil shit for you.

Even though I have been reading that its a pretty nonexistant story all over the internet.

Yeah... Good game, story not so much.

So I finally got Braid, and if any of you don't have it you should correct that by getting your hands on it.

Anyone interested?

Actually I had quite a bit of fun with Multiwinia back when it was released. I'll have to give this a look.
Elanzer
Didn't click link. What is it. Is it any different from Darwinia?
KingTut
Apparently they have put it on the xbox live marketplace, slightly improved the graphics and added multiplayer.

I know that the good citizens of CSDL don't really go for XBLA titles aside from Braid and GeoWars 2, but I keep seeing things pop up around the internet and I can't help but post them.

Perfect Dark is being re-released next month for $10 on the XBLA with HD graphics and added 4 player co-op as well as online play. What do you guys think?

I love XBLA games. It's just I already played most of the XBLA re-releases to death in their original form, they don't interest me as much as newer concepts.
KingTut
Speaking of this, anyone intersted in zeno clash? Relevant due to release on marketplace either currently or in the near future.
