if you don't have rainbow I suggest picking it up

Medal of Honor Airborne is scheduled for early march - it might be good I'm reserving my judgement after the last MOH fiasco

If you want new games I woudl recommend Rainbow, COD3, or Lost Planet

For older games: Condemned, Splinter Cell, Hitman, Lord of the Rings, GRAW

Condemned and splinter cell would make a good pair together.

mine is a tie - raam on insane solo, having to beat rainbow scene by scene for the legend achievement, and COD2 on veteran - they all induced about the same amount of frustrated rage

It seems like to me that most of you only like games that are easy to get in too.
Also it takes time to destroy a ship as it is not like in a FPS or a TPS were a couple of bullets can kill and is easy that anyone can do.
So hey whatever, and all of you are missing a really great game.

Agreed. I didn't play the demo but I have the full game and it is so much fun. I haven't gone online yet but am looking forward to it after I'm done with the campaign/challenges. It's not for everyone.

So many people are to stuck on graphics. They're not perfect, but the gameplay is fluid and addicting. it might only be a niche game but if you fall into that niche you will be in love.

[QUOTE="mortalstakes"][QUOTE="mclazyj"]

While normally I would say that you should get rid of the 360, in this case I am not. She is trying to change you from something you are not. Games are part of who you are. My wife knew I was a hardcore gamer when we first met. I told her that I am not giving them up for her and she accepts that.

That being said, there is such a thing as moderation. I normally hold off on playing until after everyone is in bed or when my wife is at work. And I play a lot without interruptions on my days off from work. So you should sit down and talk to her about it. Set up a schedule if you must, but present to her that gaming is part of what makes you who you are. If I gave up gaming for a girl, I would be a miserable person, because it is a part of me that I would miss and that longing would make me a miserable person to be around.

you are definitely married :)

my wife and I have the opposite problem - she loves gaming as much as I do and we have to share nicely on the weekends



ive always wondered how that would work out, has there ever been a time when your in multi or something and you blow her head and off and are like "OWNED *****" in the moment then had to sleep on the couch for  a week?

no I have to say we actually share pretty well

however long I play I have to let her play for once I finish (once the 360 has had an appropriate break that is)

and luckily we like a lot of the same games so we do coop a lot - I bet we did coop on at least 10 or more games on the regular xbox - I like to play them through myself first though usually
