Fallout 3 is definitely worth it. I hope you got the GOTY version.

How did you guys do regarding the treasures? I constantly searched for them but I only ended up getting about 35 out of 100. I don't know how I managed to miss so many.

Peanut · 10-17-2009, 12:16 PM

Same with me. I think I got 31 or so. They must be insanely well hidden.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-17-2009, 12:40 PM

I just sorta realized yesterday that I had Hexic HD on my 360 from when I got the arcade. It's pretty fun.

*raphael_is_cool* · 10-17-2009, 01:35 PM

I've got 49 treasures and onto the last chapter so far. And I thought I was doing well...

You just kinda have to go a bit out of your way sometimes, and always be looking up. There are plenty that you have to shoot down. Although, I shot one down and it just disappeared once.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-17-2009, 02:08 PM

We're talking about Hexic here, goddamnit!

Hexic HD has come pre-loaded on every 360 since launch.

Yeah, I stumbled across most of mine by going in wrong directions. And the ones you have to shoot down are the easiest to miss, because the first game simply taught me to stare at the ground while searching for treasure.

I have to admit that a little over half way through I stopped looking for treasures, though.

I definitely agree so far! I've been addicted all weekend. Haven't spent this much time with a game since my first play through mgs3.

Peanut, I didn't get the "GOTY" edition. At the time, I wanted to make sure I'd like the game first. I think I'll be picking up some dlc once I complete the main quest. Do you have any suggestions on which dlc to get? I heard one goes back to the main quest which is appealing. I can't imagine the game being as fun if its only a 3 to 4 hour romp with a new character? How do you get as engrossed in the game world, as you do when you play the main campaign? Doesn't make sense to me at this point.

Also, I never played Oblivion, but this game has me wanted to. Will it feel like a technical downgrade from falout, or is it just as great?

Picked up a NES flash cartridge so I can make an authentic copy of my new downloaded hack - Tecmo Super Bowl 2009 Edition. Suck it EA.

Now, if only somebody would do this for Blitz.

IamtheKnight · 10-18-2009, 07:53 PM

God of War2. Best game on the ps2 ever!

Ra · 10-18-2009, 08:35 PM

I had some spare money last month and decided to get a few DS games to pass the time on the train to TAFE. Mainly because I still haven't got a 360. For this, I feel guilty and deserve to be cast out into the ocean.

o Scribblenauts
o Fullmetal Alchemist: Duel Sympathy
o Cooking Mama

Only got Cooking Mama and Duel Sympathy because they were both $20. Playing Duel Sympathy makes me want to buy the series' Dream Carnival game to get the bad taste of failure out of my mouth.

Then I remember it's only in Japan.

Goddamnit.

TWO BIG QUESTIONS

-

1. Does anyone know if Splinter cell double agent has an online community? I've been playing the demo online and am once again addicted.

2. Does anyone know if they plan on adding a new version of their spy vers merc multiplayer in the upcoming Splinter Cell game?

You should have gotten GOTY, as it has all the DLC on it for a discounted price, but whatever. The original version is probably cheaper at this point.

I haven't play a ton of the DLC, but you use your character in all of them, so there's nothing to do with new main characters in them. They've all seemed to be worth it, with the last one being the one exception.

As for Oblivion...well, I could go on about it, but they're really entirely different games built on the same engine. And as I went back and played through the majority of the Shivering Isles expansion a couple months ago, I can confirm that it holds up pretty well.

But, yeah. It's hard to compare them in any way, aside from the fact that they're both made with the same engine and feature similar leveling systems.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-18-2009, 10:54 PM

Oblivion still feels like magic to me. There's so many random moments that stick out in my mind, but the whole experience is SO much better on PC. Glad I took the time to try it on my new rig.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-18-2009, 10:55 PM

Oblivion GOTY edition for PC. So much better than the console versions. I'm remembering how magical this game is.

I was just asking Peanut what he thought about this game, on the 360.

hahah, I just replied to your comment about Oblivion in the "Currently playing" section. Tag?

What do you prefer about the pc version?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-18-2009, 11:54 PM

Better graphics, zippo load times in comparison to the Xbox version (which was insanely slow).

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-18-2009, 11:59 PM

Its great, but the load times are terrible, and the game just wasn't meant to have its graphics streamed off the disc while playing. Its a causality of the Xbox not shipping with a damn hard drive as a standard on all models. The PC version just performs better overall.
