Hmmm...it's a contest. But...how does this play into the 10 year thing? How is this "rewarding" long time suscribers? Why have some select few already received the console?? Questions! Questions! Questions!
From Major Nelsons blog:
Wow…how time flies! 10 Years ago today, Xbox LIVE...
I think Nov 15 or 16th was the first day so unless you were a beta tester, I'm not sure how you could get any better than that.
I'm listed as Nov 16th as well and I remember being active on Day 1. Waiting.....
I COMPLETELY disagree...if you're on the fence read the Eurogamer review (who are also usually fairly harsh) that gave it an 8. You need to give the game some time and figuire out the way the drift works. This thing is an incredible combo of Ridge Racer (yes drifting plays a big role)...
Played the demo a decent amount tonight and WOW! I disagree with the "same old thing" comment. The strategy involved in the gameplay now really takes it to another level from when I was playing it on split screen all night looooong ago.
Nuke mode is incredibly deep. Twisted Metal meets...
Have to agree on Blood Drive. Picked it up and it is a ton of stupid fun. Twisted meets L4D is right on the money. The controls can indeed be a bit loose, but the weapons and personality more than make up for it.
I picked up the Avatar Starter Kit (2 pairs of the new glasses and the Avatar 3D Blu Ray) for $249 at Costco a few weeks ago. Considering that the glasses go for $130 each right now, it's a damn good deal.
Anyone that thinks 3D is a gimmick and they could "take it or leave it" has NOT played Avatar the Game in full 3D on a great 3D tv. I challenge you guys to experience this and tell me it's not the single coolest thing you've ever seen.
Guys..
I also just got the Panasonic VIERA TC-P50VT25 50-inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV and it is friggin PHENOMENAL. Costco has it right now for $879 and they have the AVATAR kit for $250. Avatar literally looks better than it did in the theater on this thing.
One thing of note for those who...
I'm actually off this Black Friday for the first time in 15 years!! Woot! Bring on the traffic, bring on the irritated shoppers, the obscene lines and the wining kids!!!!
Giggity!!!
This game is phenomenal. Would have had no problem paying $60 for it. Probably the best racing game I've played in the last 5 years. Slick, silly ass fun.
Last few days for this. I totally disagree with some of the above comments. No problems with rubber banding (it keeps things exciting when you're setting off explosions, etc.). Online is an absolute blast. Best racing game in years. Oh, and btw, Blur is really good also. But SS is on...
