Cool! How did it fare in the review? Good or Bad?

7.5

The main thing the review said is it appears as if they left content out for later Marketplace Purchases. They said they hoped that was not the case, but they cannot thing of any other reason it was so stripped down.

Typed straight from the review...

The single player game offers 20 challenges, which are basically battles against increasing numbers of A.I. controlled worms. We miss the clever, more puzzle oriented solo scenarios from past Worms games, but these challenges definitely hone your kills for the real goods: multiplayer, On one console or via Live, up to four players can engage in a tension filled battle for pride and glory.

As thrilling - and funny - as the cartoon violence can be, Worms feels oddly incomplete. Many of our favorite weapons and tools from previous Worms games - including the BAseball Bat, Holy Hand Grenade, Skunk, and Select Worm option - are missing, and you can choose from just three environment themes (although a random landscape generator mixes up the terrain). True, this version is just $10, but it almost seems purposely downsized to allow for paid downloadable additions. (Lets hope not.)

Root Beer Tapper got a 6.

Is it just me or is NBA Street Homecourt really fun?

I really enjoyed NBA Street so i think this'll be my next purchase... they seem to have gone more extreme with this one too.

No, I had a lot of fun with this year's NBA Street as well. It was a lot of fun, I thought. Much better than previous NBA Street titles! :D Definitely at least renting. :)

Def Jam demo redated

Electronic Arts reschedules release of Def Jam: Icon demo for Xbox 360 to tomorrow; features of trial remain the same.

Gamers anxiously awaiting their chance to sucker punch some of hip-hop's biggest stars can finally breathe a sigh a relief. The demo for Def Jam: Icon, which was announced and quickly delayed in late January, now has a new release date.

The demo will appear on Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, according to EA. The details of the demo haven't changed; it will feature the Gas Station level and include two playable characters, T.I. and Outkast's Big Boi. Both artists will also have a song included in the demo. The full game will feature 29 songs, and the ability to create a custom soundtrack on the Xbox 360 version.

Def Jam: Icon is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 6 in North America and on March 16 in Europe. For more information, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

I have 6mbit and it went pretty fast. I'm just glad I saw this thread before most people made it home to download this.

I'm just hatin' on DL because I remember him saying he upgraded to 50mbit, which is ridiculous...but I want it. :D :drool:

It's actually 30 down. ;) I wish I had 50!

I really was not trying to rub it in, just stating it was coming in faster than normal so it seemed like a good time to download it.

Still have yet to try it out.

Stupid dad... i hate this right now i can't stay at my house cause of him. bleh... anyway, mixed feelings about the game i think it's good, but the controls are a tad clunky, prolly cause i have no idea how they work as the demo has such a short ass timelimit.

hehe, my dad said some pretty brutal stuff about my girlfriend's race, and instead of him retracting his statement and attempting to you know do the right thing and apologize, he blamed me for having a bad attitude, and kept talking mad crazy ****. So... i picked up my ****, **Computer/360/some clothes** and went to a friend's house, and he has fight night lol so we can do that. But yeah, some really mean stuff was said about my girlfriend's race that is so far from true, and i just wasn't about to sit there and let him talk like that. It nearly ended in a fist fight between me and my father. So in turn i've basically just disowned him and luckily i've been looking for a place to move out to for the past week and a half with my best friend so i should hopefully be out soon. Until then i'm stayin here at my friend's house who's parents are being kind enough to let me stay.

Demo's i've got and played, and impressions:

Def Jam Icon: I don't care what people say about it. I love it. I loved FFNY, so i'd love this whether it sucked or not, but it doesn't. If it feels slow remember 2 things: its pre-build, and if you remember fight for new york, you had to develop your character before he became faster/stronger etc, and if you don't like the styles, you can make your own. That may not be the case, but i know you definitly make your own fighting style. I love the way you scratch songs etc, and i really hope they still have the amazing finishers? cause they made the game great for me before.

Crackdown: Amazing, buying on release.

Graw 2: Its exactly what it should be. it feels like they added more onto the original graw, and it feels better and more tactical.

i love it.

i might also try that blitz ****.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
