The Old XBOX Megathread

I just found out about that, s'pretty cool, I played the trial a while ago and quite liked it.

[Dan]

Hell, I might even come job on Halo.

Can anyone recommend anything off the arcade? I'd imagine Bomberman or Worms to be good, but I dunno if enough people play them to make it a worthwhile purchase, since single player isn't the most engaging. I played the boogie Bunnies trial earlier and it sucked. I was surprised I couldn;t find a decent take on a Micro Machines style game, unless GripShift is better than the trial. I was gonna get that cause my mate's coming up next week, and we loved playing Mashed on PS2. I've basically got points to spare, as I don't fancy a track pack for GH, and there's no point getting the Heroic map pack when it'll be free in a couple of months (in time for the release of the second map pack), so I'm really after something multiplayer or a puzzle-type game for when I've got a spare few minutes.

EDIT: didn't want to double post. Does anyone else find it annoying that Assasin's Creed doesn't seem to have subtitles? Firstly, I like to listen to music when I play it (offsets the sheer monotony of the missions), and secondly, I can't always make out what the ruddy foreigners are saying >_>

I got bored of that about twenty minutes in.

[Kyle_]

So, did I miss the Halo playing?

[Fitzy]

There was no Halo playing tonight.

[Kyle_]

Ah. I thought it was supposed to be tonight.

[King Ellis]

You must have ignored all the posts saying Friday = bad and Saturday = good.

[Kyle_]

Obviously

So what time?

[King Ellis]

I'll probably be on after the Soccer is on here so that'd be 7pm onwards for you yankees.

[Dan]

Football*

[King Ellis]

It's easier to make one post saying Soccer than it is to say Football and have to field "OMG YOU GET OUR FOOTBALL OVER THERE? WHO DO YOU LIKE? I THOUGHT YOU ONLY LIKE SOCCER FOR GIRLS?"

[Kaney]

Is anyone here jedidarthrevan, because basically I have no idea who they are >_>

[Cactus Drags]

I went with Bomberman in the end, by the way, since so much interest was shown in my original post >_>

[Captain Eo]

I'll be up for Halo in about an hour likely.

Also has anyone played the gem that is Small Arms?

[LL!]
