The Old XBOX Megathread

[EddieRuckus]

Wolves, it seems like the Avatar clothes that were already there will still be there, not sure about after the official update, but I sure hope so as that would be stupid to make us pay for avatar clothes. What I'm hoping for is that they'll have the free clothes that we've had before, continue to release free clothes every once in a while like they're doing now while releasing premium content you can buy. I also hope that once the awards feature is up and running that you don't have to buy the stuff you unlock.

[Cactus Drags]

The free avatar stuff is still there, it's an entirely different section for purchasing clothese. The veteran thing is indeed years.

[King Ellis]

All Santas!

[Captain Eo]

I still need a new mic though. Mines been broken ever since that night in 1 vs 100. I went in yesterday to buy some points and a new 3 monther but they were out of cheap mics. Fuck 60 bucks for the wireless one >_>

Ever See This?

It's a bargain!

[Ruki]

Seems the Ghostbusters online mode is dead (at the moment anyways).

Eddie! LL! We shall have to play.

[EddieRuckus]

Not sure if I'll have internet this week as I'll be up in some cabins near a lake, but if I get wireless up there then we will definitely do that for sure this week.

Is the online mode for Ghostbusters any fun?

[Ruki]

Haven't gotten around to playing it yet

Me either let's make a date of it.

In a few mere weeks we won't have anyone to play with. Madden, CODMF2, and ODST.

[Jack Krauser III]

So I'm looking for some co-op games for 3 players or more and there aren't many I can think of. No FPSs though, one player is very new to them.

I've already got Splosion Man, TMNT Arcade, Aegis Wing and Castle Crashers. I figure Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 when that comes out also. Any other ideas?

[Ruki]

Well, the first MUA.

GTA4 online has 4 co-op missions.

The Smackdown games are fun with friends.

Ghostbusters online.

NHL/NFL games.

Rockband.

Does Smackdown have 4 player on one screen? I may get this years if it does.

And I love Ghostbusters, but I should have mentioned I am looking for one screen co-op.

And I have Rock Band, forgot about that.

[King Ellis]

There's the 'new' Turtles game out this Wednesday.

Other than that, Burnout Paradise maybe? The local multiplayer stuff will require buying the DLC or the Ultimate Box edition, not strictly co-op mind you but i'm not sure there's much else.

[Ruki]

Yeah, single screen co-op is not a big thing anymore.

[RoyWill Rumble]

There's definitely no local multiplayer for Burnout Paradise from what I remember. Or if there is, it's of the 'pass the one controller' variety. It's kinda shit, really.

The Lego games have multiplayer and they're cheap. Fun, too. And yes, Smackdown has four players on the screen at one time. It's surprisingly fun playing multiplayer, too.

[King Ellis]

Well, yeah, it's not like you're all in your own car at the same time racing each other but I guess it can still loosely be called multiplayer.

Aren't the Lego games only 2 players at most?

[RoyWill Rumble]

They very may well be, but I know they're fun and cheap and local, which a lot of games don't have.

Shit, the 360 blows for four-person local multiplayer games.

[Jack Krauser III]

Well, since 4 player same-screen games are hard to find, maybe you guys can help me with something else.

I'm trying to get my girlfriend into FPSs. So far she's played Team Fortress 2 and she likes that, so I'm looking for other good shooters that are easy to learn and won't scare her away too fast. Suggestions?

[Kaney]

So I got the new dashboard update, despite never getting an email saying I'd get it so yay for that.

[King Ellis]

Someone apparently uploaded it so if I were so inclined I could install it anyway, not that I am.

Speaking of the update, the little covered feature of some installs being a lot smaller is a nice one.

Oh come on Kaney, buying Fallout 3 again?
