kudos on the 48 rookas, that's a nice looking number there.

hey Remy, how was Prototype? i'm considering buying it since Gamefly are a bunch of slowpokes the likes of which slowness has never been prouder of.

It's a really solid game, but it's not worth it's full price imo. But if you can rent it, definitely do it, there's just not much incentive to play it all again and you're probably done after 12 hours at max.

Achievement-wise it's also alright, got a fairly easy 350 points out of it :p

And viola! Brass Balls is done!

Congrats! I'm still shocked at how easy Atlas was. First try TYVM! Regardless, that achievement was a huge challenge and I'm pretty happy to have it.

Oh, and Rookas just traded in his old gf for a shiny new model, so the gamerscore is sure to suffer :cry:

Yeah, I got Atlas on my first try. First time through on my last play through (Also on hard) took 3 tries. The level three ice and fire plasmids and bolt gun items make it such a breeze. I'm happy to be among the first 15,000 to have gotten it as well :p

good job on the brass balls, both of you. as for the new girlfriend, wait till she becomes an ex wife. Your gamerscore will thank you ;)

Already got one ex-wife, not looking for another. BTW, ghostbusters deserves the bad reviews. Bill Murray totally phoned in his voice acting, and it's frustratingly hard. Killed three times by a candlestick, really? Sending right back to gamefly.

well done!

rookas, seem we may be in the same boat - was never the family type, it failed for me early on. but wasn't trying to jinx you dude, just gallows humor. Hey send Ghostbusters to me! How the heck did you even manage to get it from them, it's been on my "Q" for ages, no movement.

As for Red Faction...i give it a 6/10. Mercs 2 was more my type of game, even tho i'm a Mars appreciator. Red Faction has less in the way of character, and it's too damn hard, there's a lot of trial and error. And for the umpteenth time, would it kill these developers to let us save anywhere? i just don't get it. If Mass Effect and Bioshock can do it, and these are just two examples, why can't Red Faction? Afraid we'll find out your game is only six hours long? WELL DEVELOP A LONGER ****ING GAME!

Follow @gameflyinc on Twitter and bitch at them when you don't get what you want and point out what a good member you've been, it works for me! I always get new releases now!

Well my GS has come to a screeching halt because I'm right back into CoD4 multiplayer. As soon as I can tear myself away from it though, I need to finish Force Unleashed (but I can't get past that damned Bull Rancor on Sith Master!!!), and then I'm finally breaking open Bionic Commando.

It'll take forever, but just keep dodging and using lightning on it. Took me about 20 minutes to finish it off. I need to go back and finish TFU as well, got into other games and never went back to it. Bionic Commando is fun, but extremely frustrating. You will find yourself in an "irradiated area" and drop dead in seconds all the time. Swinging along (once you get it down) can be a lot of fun, it's a decent game.

thanks for the advice rook, but not the Twitter type at all. Gamefly sucks, there's no two ways about it.

Jianbing, i wouldn't bother with Bionic Commando, it's a real disappointment - if you can trade it in, send it back or something, do it.

I'm currently at 560 points for Oblivion. I'm nearly done with all of my Guild specific quests and can resume the primary quest and then move on to Shivering Isles to complete the game. I'm not sure what I'll be playing after this... I may focus a bit on some casual arcade playing for a while or stop procrastinating and buy the double game package of LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung-Fu Panda for $10 on eBay. I think my wife would appreciate me doing the casual playing :p

Yeah, that's what a couple of friends said too. That's one of the reasons why I've been hesitating to open it. It still has the plastic wrap on it. Maybe I'll just see if I can trade it in for something else. I still have the receipt.

Please do! You'll thank me later. Good thing you didn't open the abomination.

Mathachew, thanks for reminding me of Shivering Isles, almost forgot about it these last two years or so! I don't know about that LEGO/Panda combo...kinda unmanly, you know what i mean?

Not really, I've really enjoyed the LEGO games. The first game I bought when I got my 360 last year was Star Wars: The Complete Saga and several months ago Batman, so I'm sure I'll enjoy Indiana Jones. Not so sure about Kung-Fu Panda, but I'm up for some casual stuff since I've been hammering through some more serious games lately.

Finally beat that damned Bull Rancor. I got lucky and Maris got stuck in the scenery, so I didn't have her to deal with. Beat the Rancor without even being hit. Hopefully *crosses fingers* it should be smooth sailing from here to a cool 375 points.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today.

The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag.

      To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
