You know, I have 1 year of Xbox Live, but I haven't redeemed the code yet because I really need to test my Xbox connection. I've been told I need a better connection, and that won't be doable until a little later.
BTW, is a wireless connection any better than a wired one, worse, or the same thing?

A wired connection is best for having a dedicated connection, but wireless isn't that bad depending on where you are in terms of your router.

I've yet to fire it up. How about tomorrow night sometime? I am visiting my folks in Cali until the 9th. My 360 is back in Texas. Plus, I gotta re-up my gold. When I get back, certainly. But until then, I cannot. Right on.

Check your games to see if you have a card with one stuffed in with the manual. If you can't find one, send me a PM, I know I have at least one left.

I might also have one that came with Sneak King, but I think it might have expired after all this time. I'll probably do that, though.

Okay, I've got 4000 points to blow. My stepsiblings got the disc version of the GTA DLC and I just got Shadow Complex. What should I buy?

I'd say just get some DLC for Rock Band, but there sure hasn't been anything mindblowingly good since Alice in Chains pack. They finally released "Smells Like Teen Spirit" a few weeks ago, but NOTHING good has come out.
I'm probably going to pick up the ACDC pack off Amazon when I get the Gold membership ($19 for the game, free transfer over to Rock Band 2.)

Anyone up for some Modern Warfare 2 later? My gamertag is HrdCoreSuprStar so add me if you want to play. I'm actually considering starting a small, Crapper clan.

Because the ACDC is $9.99 at newegg with free shipping. Oh, and this week... K-Mart has Mass Effect (PH) for $14.99 and Target has Lego Rock Band for $29.99 among other stuff.

Should be free transfer no matter what. As long as it is a new copy, you get a one time code. PS. NewEgg is sold out of ACDC pack for the 360. They should keep the price, and get more. I will buy it from them, then. Sincerely, with love, KStrick

Finished Dead Space last night after taking a bit of a break from playing it during the holidays.
I would say this game is a lot better than Resident Evil 4, but I also thought it got gradually worse towards the end. The horror just wasn't there any more, and it seemed all you did was run around completing telekinesis puzzles that were more boring than they were hard. Well, occasionally you got to shoot a room full of monsters and/or a monster the size of a room, which was pretty cool but not scary at all (and the mutant baby things that have tentacles and fling their crap at you are just annoying). The ending was kinda lame, too, to be honest, and I'm not in a hurry to replay the game anytime soon.
In the end I'd give Dead Space a 7.5 out of 10, because despite all its flaws and annoyances it is still a fun and well crafted game.

I love Dead Space, however....it got EXTREMELY repetitive after a while. And people said Assassin's Creed 1 was repetitive? Dear god, you basically did the same damn thing every level in Dead Space! You had to run all over the ship just collecting things. THAT'S IT.
Good game, though.
Oh, and yeah, the scares really drop off after the first couple of chapters. I mean I kept hearing when the game first came out that you'd have to walk around slowly and shoot every pile of corpses you found. I never had to do that. Plus every time I ran across a Necromorph playing dead, I could easily see them and thus shot them.

I tried playing Dead Space, but I just couldn't get into it. I have it up on eBay now.

The Maw is half off, and its really tempting. Should I get it?
And the Trials Big Pack is up. Is it worth it?

So, which Left 4 Dead 2 characters do you guys play as? I Myself am quite partial to Ellis & his various stories & positivity on the whole situation.
