There's two games that really get overlooked by the "hardcore" crowd. Viva Pinata is a fantastic game, and Banjo is a pretty good vehicle building platformer. I have spent way to much time playing Viva Pinata in the past though.

[QUOTE=dark_inchworm;10335105]I second that nomination - though I have no issue whatsoever with reddjoey retaining the throne - but if someone else decides to adopt the thread as his/her own and doesn't make it a wiki thread... bye!

Why did Reddjoey stop in the first place?

I guess I could look past the missing stuff in Crazy Taxi for 200msp, fun little game to play every now and then

Got Toy Story 3 and Crazy Taxi. Only 2 more days and my wallet can take a breather.

School. I haven't seen him post in months, but he must stop by at least once a week to change the title of the thread. Although this week looks like he's a little behind.

I'd love for him to come back, I think he did a great job. But as far as I can tell, that won't be happening any time soon.

Just noticed Backbreaker Vengeance is on sale for 50%.

I highly recommend it if you're a fan of sports games. The physics and animations are amazing.

From what I am reading, all platforms are having their own problems but it seems both the retail and digital 360 versions were hit with the most problems. And with my luck, I'll probably end up getting glitched. ( I usually end up with the short end of the stick. )

If Telltale game was trying something to fix it, then I might be inclined to go ahead and buy it and then wait for a fix. But reading the Telltale mods posts, it seems that they aren't working on a real patch, but rather trying to look for workarounds, which may or may not work for all people. If some of you guys are still on the fence about purchasing TWD because of these issues, I suggest going to Telltale game forums and reading about it before making a decision.

To me, Offspring is Crazy Taxi. It's not the same without it.

Might grab The Splatters just so I can get one more sales item. So, the first falls on a Tuesday. I hope they bring in the new year with something cool. Maybe even sneak it in on the loser prizes for Scratch and Match. Something awesome, like Mega Man 9 for 400 points awesome.

I paid full price for every episode and enjoyed the hell out of the game. Not buying it for less than half price because of the possibility of a bug is crazy.

If a game isn't working for someone, that's not undeserved hate. It's a statement of fact about a bug that makes the product a non-starter for some percentage of users. I think TWD is getting enough love already that it doesn't need any from people that have payed for it and can't play it.

RE: Nuts & Bolts. It's an excellent game and well worth pulling the trigger on, unless you actually have the Viva-Pinata double pack in hand. Would be a shame to let it go forgotten due to good intentions on that disc and a holiday backlog.

1. Turn off music in game
2. Play The Offspring on your phone/computer/mp3 player

Problem solved

Oh, you're preaching to the choir. I did this ages ago.

Or better yet, put The Offspring on a flash drive/your HD/etc. and just play it from your 360 during the game. I never played Crazy Taxi when it was in its prime (and believe me, I got plenty of flak from my friends for owning a Dreamcast and not buying Crazy Taxi), so I plan on making a playlist of the original game's OST on a flash drive and playing it in-game through my 360.

Yep, this is what you do. It's not exactly the same yes, and it doesn't stop and rotate to the other songs, unless you have the OST, but having it stop at the end of stage and all of that was part of the allure.

They still have an arcade sit down cabinet of CT at my local Movie Theater, so it's nice hearing "YA YA YA YA YAH!" occasionally. xD

Considering the 25th anniversary of Mega Man was recent (coupled with the holiday sale), I'm surprised there has not been a sale with either Mega Man game :(

Anyways, what the hell is Crash of the Titans and is it any good? Looks like it's down to $9.99.

Yeah I thought exactly the same thing as you did.

But it doesn't have the name Street Fighter or Resident Evil in the title. Why would Capcom even bat an eye towards it?

And Crazy Taxi for 200 was my buy point so it is bought. Just wish Cars 2 was 800 points as well.

wish I had paid more attention to this sale, regret missing out on Dust and Fez after hearing Giant Bomb rave about them in their GOTY podcasts

the glitches aren't that bad, don't miss out on this amazing story and characters
