Finally got NHL 2K9, and now that I've played a few matches it seems NHL 09 is the better game overall... just like almost all the reviews (except for Pelit in Finland, who gave 09 and 2K9 an equal mark) said. It's still a good hockey game, but if I had to choose one I'd pick 09.
Sure, 2K9 does some things quite a bit better than EA's effort, especially the puck physics are far superior since here it mostly behaves as it would in real life, and the fights are probably the best I have ever seen in any hockey game.

I rented Gears of War 2 and the Wolvie game today. So I'll have those in a few days. I do need my co op achievements for Gears 2. I should be able to help you find all the items also.

So I have a couple of questions for Rock Band players. One, the drums have frigging made my arms twice their previous size, as strange as that sounds. I do it everyday for about two hours for the last three months and wala, I have the Hulkster's guns brother. Seriously though, there are some songs that kill my high hat hand. Songs like Kids in American where you have to have a steady incredibly fast beat all the way through the song is hard as hell. Still, good exercise I guess. ;D Oh and tomorrow's downloadable content is... Social Distortion “Bad Luck” Social Distortion “Ring of Fire” Social Distortion “Story of My Life” Steely Dan “Black Friday” Steely Dan “My Old School” Disturbed “Stricken” Disturbed “Stupify” Elvis Costello “Radio Radio” The Replacements “Kids Don’t Follow” I don't particular understand GH and Rock Band's love of Steely Dan but what ever, I'll still pick up Story Of My Life and the Disturbed songs.

Just a question about joining a "party". Let's say I see a bunch of friends playing a game together (lets say "Left 4 Dead"). And lets say I have the same game (Left 4 Dead) and I think "Hey, I have the same game as all of those people in the party". Now, lets say I want to join that "party". Now, should I just join the "party" and expect everyone to accept me into it or should I message them in advance asking them if I can play? (If that question makes sense, congratulations.) Also, I sent everyone on that list on the first page a friend request. I hope that is ok and not being a "jerk". I know fellow crappers are more then welcome to join parties. Then we usually have a few extra spots open in the match so we could invite you into the game. Thakyou. I just wasn't sure if I just signed into a game and then everyone says "Hey? Who is that a******?" and i'd be like "i'm....the sam09......from wrestlecrap forums?" and then they would be like "WHO!?!?" and then someone would say "Hey, let us light him on fire!" and then everyone lights me on fire. And THAT could possibly be the worst game of Peggle ever.

Anyone here aside from me pick up Raiden Fighters Aces? Pretty fun if you're into old-school 2D Vertical shoot-em-ups.

I rented out Halo 3. I haven't played 1 or 2, but from what I understand the game is "shoot aliens until dead". I also got some points today and downloaded Uno. What are some other fun games for less than 1100?

Me, the only ones I have are Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Streets of Rage 2. I really enjoy playing both, and they were a bargain at 400 points each. Also, I was looking through my old games and found a 48 hour gold trial card. I have just recently renewed my 12 month subscription, so if anyone wants this 48 hour trial to get them through the weekend or something, let me know and I will hook you up.

So after about a week of playing through The Last Remnant...I gotta say, I really wanna like it, but it's just not really doing anything for me.
I think it's a game I'll have to pick up later. Perhaps I'm just RPG'd out. I did just finish playing through Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean 4, so I dunno. But I think I'm gonna give it a rest for awhile.

But 2K9 is so inexpensive... Indeed it was, so I don't regret getting it at all... except when they show a closeup of Dustin Byfuglien's 3D model (speaking of whom, why do I keep pronouncing this guy's name as "By-Fugly-En"?). That is pure, grade-A nightmare fuel right there. I must say, though, that 2K9 has a bit of an "unfinished" feel to it as it has quite a few glitches. My favorite is the one that causes the intermission music to keep playing at the start of the next period after you play the Zamboni minigame (which, I might add, is damn hard if you want the achievement). Also, what in the blue hell is the point of having "classic" teams if their players are called "Goalie #33", "Right Wing #22" and so on?

Yeah, I'm not liking Gears of War 2. I think I'll play it over the weekend with AoD and then send it back.

So, anyone interested in forming a Wrestlecrap team for NHL 09's EASHL online league?

Well, this is interesting. I redeemed an Xbox Live Gold card on Xbox.com and it shows up in my account info, but my profile on Live still says "Xbox Live Silver". I hope I didn't break something when I went to do stuff on Xbox.com while being logged on to Live on my 360...
