Haven't seen any better scores around the web for level 1-1. (if only nintendo has put in an online leaderboards)
Would love to see if anyone can beat:
Just made a blog post with a little games industry info you might find interesting:

I think a lot of gamers would be very surprised to discover the make up of the development teams on some of their favorite games.Often I've found at the various companies I've worked at that the MAJORITY of people working on the game aren't actually big fans of the game itself or at least the genre of the game they're working on.
Why is this?
The first finger i can point at would be recruiters and human resource teams. Recruiters are fairly active in the games industry and get paid on successfully finding candidates for job... regardless of if they're a good fit. I've had plenty of recruiter calls trying to interest me always using works like "triple a" title and "exciting new game franchise" But they've never actually asked me what games do I like.
The same is true for HR people. In fact i recall sitting down with a senior HR person at a very large game company talking about the possibility of working there. I expressed to her that i really wanted to work on a specific team on a specific game. I game that i had played for a long time and loved. But she was completely dis interested in that. She even came out and said, "Well the important thing is getting you on a team at this company" Basically dismissing what i said altogether.
This isn't exclusive to one company. With Dealing with HR at other companies i had to chose between studios to interview at. The first thing i asked was what types of games they had. When i found up picking one studio letting their HR team know i was very interested in one of their projects i flew down there only to be told they didn't need people on that project only on another game i had ZERO interest in.
It really seems to be the prevalent trend that developers should be more interested in the salary, location, and benefits and just deal with whatever project you get put on. This truly surprised me.
Is this really such a bag thing?
I truly think so. From personal experience when I'm working on a game i LOVE and am passionate about I'm able to make it that much better. I'm able to contribute ideas, feedback, and make sure the tasks I'm implementing make sense based on my experience with the game.
If you're passionate about what you're working on you're going to put a lot more into it. You're going to make it a better game.
If you're working on a game genre that you never really played and don't really like... sure you can implement your tasks as given. But can you really notice if something isn't really correct? Can you really contribute great ideas that make sense with the genre? Are you really going to bed over backwards to make the game great if you're not even a fan of it? I really don't think so.
What's funny to me is i know there is a huge RTS fan somewhere working on a football game that he truly doesn't like... and at some RTS game company there is a huge NFL fan that would love to work on madden.
The home button on the 2nd remote doesn't do anything because it isn't connected.
Do you mean do that on the first remote?
I've purchased ghost squad and after a good 30 minutes of trying i simply can't get the 2nd remote to connect to the wii console. I replaced batteries in both. I turned off the wii and held down the sync button in order to re-sync the remotes. I even re-synced the 2nd remote to be first player to make sure they were both working. But WHATEVER i try i simply can't get the 2nd player to join in the game on the join in screen. It simply says "press +" to join. But pressing that does nothing.
I have no problem joining both remotes in for wii sports so what gives here?
No worries I've had the same thing happen twice also! I just got on here now to see if there was a post on this issue and wa-lah! Ya, I'm not happy at all with this ive been playing for some time now and didnt get a save in...second time this has happened. *sigh* patch please?

I played the game last night for about 2 hours. I quit when the game froze

My xbox 360 has frozen twice in different places in the world but both times right after clicking a on a newly discovered plasmid. These were two different plasmids in two different locations.
The first time through i hadn't saved so i had to start over when i found a new plasmidnear the telkenisis one and clicking a on it froze. And on the second time through the medical level when i clicked A on a plasmid i had already found and used the first time through this time it froze.
Is anyone else having this?
It's pretty fishy that it happens doing the exact same thing in difference places. Maybe it's a bad disk? Maybe the data stored to play the little movie detailing your new plasmid is stored on the same defective spot on the disk?
MODS: This post was locked? Why? There are other people reporting the same problem this should be bumped to main page so take two can patch this issue.

i just pre ordered the halo 3 speceil edition xbox 360 should i get a add on fan with it??? plz replyfartsack777
Yes get a fan. The PROD issue is due to overrheating. Adding good cooling will prevent the 360 from failing. It will not void your warrenty as even if the console does die they won't know you had added a cooling accessory.
