the people that already have the game and have beaten it that I've been reading on the xbox bioshock forums say 20-25 for medium and 25-32 on hard

and you're going to have to to do at least two playthroughs to get all the achievements

so I'm still buying - but my wife will be playing it too so it will get a lot of use

there are achievements that are photo/camera related

well they aren't exactly the same kind of game

my vote is for bioshock but if you're craving an oblivion-clone RPG than get two worlds

but bioshock looks amazing and two worlds just looks good - I'm probably going to let my RPG craving simmer until Mass Effect

Hitman, Splinter Cell, Condemned, Command and Conquer

but I agree with the saving your money opinion - Bioshock looks awesome, and Two Worlds looks decent

Maybe it's the first ever virus designed to attack consoles, it could be wiping all of our gamer tags, achievments and hard drives as we speak!!!!!!childe_roland

lol

we need to take action!

I don't see any conflict - your friend is generalizing and should be ignored

if you love a game it makes sense to play the predecessors - otherwise you're missing out on fun, and cheap fun at that, the games have always already come down in price

and COD2 is better - I couldn't even find it in myself to finish the 3rd one, but got 1000/1000 on COD2

I suggest a laptop cooler. I been using them since I got a 360 and they work great. Also I suggest a small fan that you can place behind the 360. Instead of the fan blowing towards the back of the console, reverse it so that it blows away. This can help blow away the heat being produced inside the console. jay_k3

I agree, thats what I use

I use this:

its a USB powered device that draws very little power and does not void your warranty - it also allows your 360 to remain horizontal - I've been using it for 6 months and it works wonderfully (you do have to screw with the positioning to make sure the fans are set right

even if it doesn't overheat additionalcooling isn't a bad idea if its the right kind - the 360 is an electrical device - the cooler said device will run, the longer you can expect it to last
