So I got some Halo Reach in. Since it's the Beta, I'll throw up spoilers in case. {Spoiler}THIS ISN'T YOUR GRANDFATHER'S HALO. There's four classes to choose from which give you the power to temporarily go invisible, sprint, use a jetpack or armor lock which makes a player invincible but stay still. Invisibility seems to be the noob choice (it's what I was using most of the time) and jetpack seems to be popular as well especially in CTF games. Armor lock seems pretty useless tbh, you do shoot plasma out around you basically to stop melee kills, but when it goes away you can easily grenade a dude before he can move.
There was a new CTF type games where you gather neutral flags for points and bring them to your base. Pretty fun, but it was my first game and I had no clue what I was doing really. There's a slew of other new modes but I haven't had a chance to test them out really. After that I played regular CTF and then team slayer. Both were fun.
As for weapons, there are some changes. The scoped assault rifle and needler both seem to be toned down in fire rate. The needler is way noticable and is no longer noob-friendly, although I still got a few kills with it.
In general the gameplay seems to be toned down a tad bit from the somewhat ridiculous battles of Halo 3 where everyone jumps around like a buffoon. It's not noticably slow or anything, it actually seemed pretty tight. Also, the jumpers seem to take the jetpacks a lot, which can make them easy targets. In most of the 4 vs. 4 games I was in, a jetpack guy ended up with two or three people shooting at him as it requires some tactile.

{Spoiler}Big super f*** f*** Plasma Canon thing FTW.
Also, Armor Lock when combined with a teammate with Active Camo can be great. You Lock, the enemy starts shooting you/standing around waiting for you to come out, teammate with camo takes them out.

Good bouts Forgotten Sin, just need to get thwak on at the same times and we can get some team battles going along with Ratings. Agreed, we'll have to try Tournament Mode when that comes out as well.

So I was in GameStop the other day talking to the guys when they showed this kid that goes in there all the time and I a certain game they aren't allowed to put on the shelf. It was the "Really Naughty Edition" of a game called Record of Agarest War. I was so intrigued by the crazy ass marketing I bought the game. It comes in a box that looks like it belongs to a eroge/H-Game and comes with one of those mouse pads where the wrist rest is the characters breasts, a pillow case of one of the characters "Yearning" and the Soundtrack.
Yet the game is rated T lol.

It's really, REALLY weird.

Got The Passing today, going to try it out once I get home. I really enjoyed it. It is rather short though and the interaction with the original characters is limited... but you get beat zombies with a golf club! AND you can hear a full my buddy Keith Story... what's not to like

I need the release Make sure to get the M60 machine gun when you run across it. If you have a bile bomb to throw first its even better. Oh and my new favorite thing to do in Versus is to bile bomb Infected who try to run away for a second stand. I had a dude quit last night right after it. I also ended up getting a dude on the other team kicked for sitting on the hood of a car with an alarm as a jockey.

You Lock, the enemy starts shooting you/standing around waiting for you to come out, teammate with camo takes them out. {Spoiler}Yeah, Armor Lock can be a great one-two tool, and don't forget the EMP pulse knocks out any nearby enemy shields. Also, I hear it can be a point of frustration if you get three players alternating Armor Lock on KOTH.

This might be my last achievement update for a while, mainly because I've nearly run out of offline achievements to get (I don't have Xbox Live yet). Anyway, Viva Pinata 2 is up to 940/1000, Brutal Legend is up to 855/1000 and Burnout Paradise is up to 715/1000, leaving me with the grand total of 8170/9000.

So I dl'ed the latest Game Room stuff and eh... sorta disappointing. There's Pitfall! and Super Breakout and the rest doesn't look so good.
Still, according to wiki eventually they're going to release Pac-Man, Mega Man and Double Dragon.

I played less than one game in the Halo: Reach beta, only confirming my theory that Halo is not the series for me.
Does anyone want a copy of Halo 2 and Halo 3?

Haven't really done much today. Got a couple of Achievements of SSFIV, and worked a bit on my Created SVR10 story.

Has anyone had this problem?
I hooked up my 360 today, I have rarely used it but I got Saints Row 2, and all my stuff was gone. My profiles were erased and I can only assume everything on it was as well. I was a bit upset but what the hell was the point of getting mad, there was nothing to be done. So I put the game in anyway, about 10 minutes in the screen just goes out. ( Default Blue "video" screen, like when the system is off) but I get no red lights. They stay exactly as they should be. I very much doubt it's the TV considering my hard drive was also mysteriously erased. I know these damn things have problems all the time, but I've been extremely gingerly with it since day one, and never had any memorable trouble. C'est la vie, I assume there isn't much I can do?

Any of you guys getting Red Dead Redemption? I'm trying to decide PS3 vs Xbox 360 version. As I think it would be awesome to have a wrestlecrap posse/gang.
