I feel so left out. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I last played. Yeah, it took me over a week to ship my 360 off after receiving the packaging, but c'mon Microsoft! They've got me looking like a big slacker.

Jeez Neo, you've almost caught me. I can't believe you guys hit 60k so easily. Nice work!

sleep, don't worry, we'll handle it from here. Hmm maybe i should get COD4 and slap on some achievements too. I got about 2200 total GS i havne't unlocked yet from the 3 free games i got. Marvel Ultimate and Forza 2 and that free Live is 5ive Arcade they gave away. i See it's the top 5 most played from our bunch so maybe i should fire it up and see if i can get some achievements from it too.

Carcassone? It's actually a fun game, nothing I would play in the long run, but the achievements are really easy to get, just one that's time consuming (5000 points all games combined). Other than that I got all of them in a few hours of gameplay, and should only be 10-15 games away from 5k since I'm averaging 110 points per game.

Forza 2, you can get 970 withint 40-60 hours of gameplay, and probally another 40-60 to get the 1 million online credits (unless you boost which is still hours). Haven't played Marvel Ultimate though.

vyk, take five and then back over the edge, soldier, we're running straight at those MG's.

COD4 is OK for achieves, i'm just getting tired of looking for collectibles in every game now...

dnast...you mean to tell me they still haven't sent you a new machine?@ that's impossible, i thought you had a new one last month or something!

and three five (sorry i'll always think of you as three five...) - forget about Forza it's a pain in the butt to get points out of that one. play it for the great game it is, not the points. i put like 40 hours into it and still only 250GS! other than that, i think it's time you bought/rented more games. what kind of patriot are you anyway? :ermm:

Nah, I got a new one during the summer and the disc drive went bad on me the day after Halo 3 came out. MS is looking into it now so hopefully I can still get a few achievements before we reach our milestone.

@Dave MB: A corrupted profile shouldn't mess up your game saves. My profile was corrupted once and all of my saves were still there after I fixed it.

CoD4's single player is so intense and captivating that I was exhausted after completing it.

Then I tried the Veteran mode and the game took me, slapped me silly for 10 minutes and I have never get some much spanking.

It's like playing Halo 3 with Raven Shield dificulty.

As far as Carcassonne is concerned, it's really my favorite XBLA game: a lot of my friends that played UNO have downloaded it and they are really enjoying it.

If only MS would add the extension of 24 cards to the game, that would be totally awesome. 4 players game with 65 cards is very short.

Some of them were still there but Forza, Sega Rally and Vegas saves all went.

slane that's like 60 hours.

vyk, the SP for COD4 was a big let down for me. on normal it was OK but kinda tepid. however, the story was good and the two POV scenes (Fulani and Jackson) were basically groundbreaking in games.

anyway, haven't gamed since sunday and won't be able to do any gaming till saturday night...already suffering from hallucination, the shakes and explosive rear end discharge.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
