For me it was Mike Tyson's Punch Out... Glass Joe, he just stand's there... MOCKING ME!!!

But seriuosly, the old days of 8 bit NES, those games/bosses were killer. Just try beating the final boss in Ghosts-n-Goblins, and that's after you reach him and get greated with a screen saying it's all been a dream or something and you have to make the entire journey to him... AGAIN!!!

Also, I remember the final boss in Golgo 13 being quite difficult. As was the Grim Reaper in the original Castlevania, strange when mini-bosses are much harder than the final ones.

And for those complaining about Madden... try playing against a CPU on Tecmo Super Bowl, when the pass is CLEARLY 15 feet over a receiver's head and then suddenly this cutscene starts and you see him leap skyward and come down with the pass, or when your receiver is open by 10 yards but the defensive back suddenly turns on super speed and streaks to him and makes the pick, or even worse when you have 3 DB's literally on top of Jerry Rice so that the sprites aren't even visible and yet he hauls in the pass from Young or Montana... maddening!!!

Oh well, toodles...

No disrespect intended, truly, but why would you even buy an Xbox if you were actually concerned about covering it with a cloth while it was off? You could set a toaster on it... as long as it was off.

I really don't understand all these horizontal or vertical, is it okay, is it not okay threads every day. Play the damn thing when you want, turn it off when you're done. Take care of it as you would any other $200 piece of equipment you purchased and value.

Fact is, it's man made, sooner or later all things return to from whence they came. Time spent worrying is timw wasted when you could be playing.

That having been said, is it okay to prop my couch up on one side with Xbox, I mean, I'm not playing it...

=) Sorry mate, just a bit of levity.

I saw an ad on Yahoo tonight for Best Buy I think selling the new 4GB Slim for $139 on BF, check out Yahoo's page for it, I saw it a few hours ago.

Anyone know if anyone is developing a college basketball game this year? I love college sports but it seems other than foosbuh (football) all other sports have been abandoned.

Later...

I would like to know what in the heck is so hard about making a game that centers around episodes 4-6 that doesn't involve legos? If you can making a great RPG like KOTOR or whatever (never played it) then why can't you make one revolving aournd episodes 4-6???

And would it KILL YOU to include some levels that involve ALL the bounty hunters, heck there's 5-6 levels right there where you have to elude IG-88, Bossk, Dengar, Zuckuss * 4-LOM (who are actually a team) and of course Boba Fett.

I can't be the only one who wants to see the boutny hunters get used? C'mon Lucasarts, crap or get off the pot already.

So I start a new season, play a few games and notice there are like 5 different save files in my NHL 12 folder. Does it create a new save after each and every game meaning i have to go and clear out the folder to keep from having 82 save files throughout the season? Seems a little weird.

Hi all. I was really interested in getting Star Wars Empire At War for my Imac. But I am on the fence. My Imac has the following specs:

Intel Core Duo 2.66 Ghz

2 GB Mem

Nvidia Geforce 9400 256 MB Mem

I have played it on a PC and loved it, but I am just wondering if anyone can shed light on the MAC version for me before I commit. Thanks.

I am one of 3 people who have never plaved Batman AA. So, yesterday I am putzing around Walmart sipping on a Coke Icee and low and behold Walmart has a Batman AA & AC 2 pack for the normal price of just Batman AC, so I picked it up. And what I like most is it was not a game and a pass for a digital download of the other but both actual discs.

Pretty sweet, haven't played one yet, but... pretty sweet, or at least I think so, if they stink out loud I am sure I'll feel other wise. Was *never* a DC fan, always was a fan of Marvvel, but a good game is hard to overlook and I do like Batman and some of his villians, here's hoping.

There is a problem. I have 2 16GB USB's in my slim and they each took roughly 30-45 seconds to format.

Make sure you are using either the Microsoft Xbox 360 USBs or Sandisk USBs (which I believe the MS Xbox ones are).

"I'm just saying, H-Will H-Wheaton seems nice..."

Can my 360 slim make use of 16GB USB drives total or in each USB slot. Just wondered becasue I stuck both in, they formatted correctly and met all specifications, however on the memory panel it shows only 14.4 GB total available, but I have 3.2 GB onboard, 14.3 on one USB and 14.4 on the other USB. Individually they all seem to show and work when selected, but collectively the total 32 GB just doesn't reflect acurately. Is this just a quirk or what?
