Hmm, thanks guys.  I'm thinking I'll still hold on Sam and Max until it is done.  I might grab Dreamfall or one of the Runaway games though. Do you need to haved played the first Runaway for the second to make sense?

Well, I might get that when it is done, but I don't really want it in episodic form.  Even all together it doesn't sound like it will be that long ... but I did like the original so I'm interested.

Hey guys, I was wondering your thoughts on the best pure adventure (not action adventure) games from the last couple years.  The last group I played was Longest Journey and Siberia.  I know there haven't really been that many options, but I'm in the mood for one and I was wondering what are most worth my time (e.g. I've heard mixed things on the sequel to Longest Journey).

Target is the best bet in my area at least.

I've only seen a few screenshots, but it looks like it might be an update/extension of Sierra's previous Mini-golf game for the PC.  I think that only had 18 holes and no editor, but a couple of the screen shots looked very familiar. That game was fun enough, but nothing too special.

I figured I'd buy one pack to get my thoughts on it.  I must say, the cover of Stellar was pretty bad, so I was annoyed I spent that much on a pack when my favorite song from it was done poorly. I assumed for their first downloadable content it would all be well done. For now I think I can get plenty of fun from the content in the game unless something really intriguing comes along.

Question (I just don't know).... have any useful treatments come about as a result of this?  It has been running on pcs for a few years now.

Hehe, saying you played it for 2 hours isn't the best selling poiint 

Oh, sorry.

Xbox 360 - Tabble Tennis, Call of Duty 2, NBA 2k6, Madden 06.

Xbox (but compatabile with 360 - only thing I've played them on) - Fables, Jade Empire, WWE Raw 2.

Could be interested in marvel alliance... don't have too much available though. Maybe Table Tennis, COD 2, Jade Empire, Fables, NBA2k6, Maddeon 06.

FYI, you can get more than that on ebay for it (at least I did when I sold it).

I agree about the cpu in this version.  Older version had the weaker teams screw up more often. That said, the real point of this release is online play, not the single-player. Armageddeon and such had more single-player elements than this release.  My only big complaint though is the lack of scottish audio option. I always used scottish in worms 2 and armaggedon.

Well, at least they gave us Joust and Robotron free.  Not that exciting, but I'll take-um .

Question regarding the xbox 360 rewards challenge.... ok, I thought I had signed up previously (a week or two ago), and then I got about 1000 points... now it looks like I had to sign up again and I just did.  Am I just screwed in regards to those first 1000 points?

Taken!

Have Enchanted Arms... looking for the following 360 games.  I could also throw in Fables, Jade Empire, or WWE Raw 2 for Xbox or a few bucks.

Looking for:
Gears of War
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2007
College Hoops, or NCAA March Madness
Dead or Alive Extreme 2
Battle for Middle Earth 2
World Series of Poker

FYI, I have a copy available.  PM sent.

Nice mail-in rebate ($200) off their normal price of $550. That's $90 cheaper than newegg after shipping (even with tax).  I think the rebate might be on in-store purchases only, but I'm not sure. There aren't many small lcds with built in HD-tuners.  I have mine getting OTA HDTV right now (picked it up an hour ago). DVD looks good too.

Yeah, I agree.  That's why I added the P.S.

Is everything for PC? (rather have BFME II for 360)

So I've been thinking about getting a small LCD tv for the bedroom sometime, and today I got a coupon (for February) from costco in the mail for a great price on one from Sharp. My question is whether these tvs pick up regular over the air signals fine or if you have to do anything to get those. I am not really planning on adding a cable box to the upstairs (although I will have a dvd player.

FYI, I think the one that will be on sale is this one, for $249 with coupon.

P.S.  Although I did just notice that this one is VGA and 4:3 if that's the right one so I might not get that one... but the question is valid either way.

What comic books are you interested in for COH?  Need a little more information regarding your interests. Send me a PM if you can.

Same, it's on my Christmas list.... though I doubt I'll get it.

How long is this good for? If I don't get college hoops for Christmas I might pick it up.

Not playing until Christmas.  That's when my wife gets it as a present... and then I get to play it as well

Question - my 32" lcd is 1366 x 768-pixels.  I think I have it set to 720p for games already.  This is the resolution I should use for hd-dvd movies too on that size, correct (as opposed to 1080i)?

I have MK3 now, so it should be up and running.  Personally I might be slightly annoyed, but I don't really care if a game isn't up for a day for some reason.  I'm still just glad I can download it.

I have gotten a couple games at full-price on 360, but that is only if I REALLY want it or I get it as a gift (my relatives aren't very good about using the internet to find deals...)

That said, I would have bought twice as many games and not looked to trades/ebay as much if the starting price was $39.99 or $44.99 rather than $59.99. Same deal for PC games, I certainly never buy one for $49.99 and generally try to buy at $39.99 or less.

Looking for any of those.  See my earlier post for things that I have for trade. Also could be willing to pay cash.

Any context on what you're interested in?

Check this thread at OO for things I have available...

I just know I have bad memories of the table tennis arcade games that are like that with motion sensing and actually swinging a paddle...

Vidalou, are seasons 1 and 2 on their way?

Cassidy was tough, but Jesper is my nemises.  I'm playing him in the second round of the first tournament in hard and am pissed off.  I've played four times now without winning, but on the second match I lost 11-9 in the third game.  I was screaming with every blown point towards the end... my wife had to come up from the basement to see if I was ok :-p.

I've worked my way through medium, but I need a break before trying the hard tournament again... definitely having fun with it, but I'm worried how hard it might be to unlock the rest of the characters and arenas.  I need to find a good list of what you need to do.
