Ho, finally a decent game for Xbox 360!?

Bully looks fun, but I'll see if my gf gets it for me for Christmas first ...
I'm all about Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2 -- gotta get some Atlus love :D
crono141 @ Oct 16th 2006 11:04AM
I might get bully JUST to spite JT
Josh @ Oct 16th 2006 11:22AM
So is Jack going to go to a lot of stores, tackling people from buying Bully? I could see that crazy bastard doing that!
Fisher @ Oct 16th 2006 11:53AM
Dear Darth Pixel,
Clearly you have not played Open Season. Compared to that Splinter Cell is the feces-scrawlings of a raving lunatic.

"1. Ho, finally a decent game for Xbox 360!?"
Yeah, Dead Rising. I'm still waiting on that second one.
Journal Fan @ Oct 16th 2006 12:16PM
Not to mention, Sam & Max Season 1 starts tomorrow on Gametap!
bubba shrimp @ Oct 16th 2006 12:59PM
I thought Splinter Cell Double Agent was going to be on all platforms including PS2 and Xbox?
diskoboy @ Oct 16th 2006 1:06PM
Great week ahead! Splinter Cell, Battlefield 2142, Bully, Destroy All Humans 2, Civilization Chronicles, and hopefully Lumines Live.

"I'm all about Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2 -- gotta get some Atlus love :D"
Contact is made by Atlus too. I've been waiting for it. The DS needs more RPGs.
TxdoHawk @ Oct 16th 2006 1:28PM
Sid Meier's Railroads has almost zero hype, but man it looks good. I'm not a big fan of Tycoon games, but this one looks slick and razor-sharp like Civ 4. Who can say no to Sid Meier?
Christopher7xii @ Oct 16th 2006 2:17PM
Splinter Cell is next week for other consoles, this week for 360.
RandomDouche @ Oct 16th 2006 2:29PM
CONTACT NOW THATS SHOWING ATLUS SOME LOVE! MUST HAVE INDEED.
AND WHEN IS BARBIE HORSE BACK RIDING DUEL OF THE ULTIMATE DIAMOND PRINCESS COMING OUT AGAIN?

"1. Ho, finally a decent game for Xbox 360!?"
What are you people retarded? Did you not play saints row, nba 2k7, test drive and a few others also? Your expectations are either way too high or your just have poor taste in games. If you cant find any good titles since dead rising then you need to get out of gaming all together.
crono141 @ Oct 16th 2006 4:49PM
I'm sorry george, sports games (nba2k7) racing type games (test drive) and gangsta killamotherfugga games (saints row) just don't appeal to me.
Some might say I have poor taste in games. I would say your taste is piss poor.
Dead Rising is the thing making me want a 360 most (besides upcoming Gears and Blue Dragon). Also, the live arcade seems to be where its at.
George @ Oct 16th 2006 5:19PM
crono141 - you can like what you want to like thats your opinion but to personally say no good games came out since dead rising is incorrect. You may not like them games but they ARE good games and in alot of peoples opinion great games. I personally didnt like dead rising but i admit its a good game, just doesnt appeal to me. To call my taste piss poor is ignorant, you stupid bitch. i was trying to make an intelligent point not argue with some pms afflicted ass. The games i mentioned have gotten great reviews from just about every site and magazine so your in the minority. Just dont insult me when i try to make a point that your statement is incorrect. You should have said "no games i liked came out since dead rising".... thats a correct stamenet.
George @ Oct 16th 2006 5:22PM
crono141 - you can like what you want but dont say no good games came out since dead rising since only about 2% of the entire population would agree with that. The games i mention ARE good games and getting great reveiws from about every person out there. You should have said "no games i liked came out since dea rising".... that would be correct in your case. and to make a statement like your first one is going to sway people away from the 360 possibly. if you have the system i dont know why you would make negative comments like that. i have been happy with my 360 since day one and had plenty of titles keeping me busy. but of course i have a couple girlfriends and a life, you may just have your hand as a girlfriend and more time than I.
Kato @ Oct 16th 2006 6:21PM
WTF?! Why no love for Sam & Max? That's cruel...
JPRacer @ Oct 16th 2006 7:50PM
Splinter Cell for me. But I'll wait for reviews since I didn't really like the MP demo. The MP in SC:CT was better IMO.
Georg3 @ Oct 17th 2006 1:41AM
I've got the Splinter Cell Colectors Edition Pre-Ordered, can't wait. Looks like we're finally out of the Summer Slump of Games. Now I can start failing classes again!
JohnHeist @ Oct 17th 2006 2:32AM
Whoo! I need to find some cash...
Bully, Splinter Cell, and Destroy All Humans 2?! Oh yeah.
With Marvel Ultimate alliance on the way, I'm gonna be one broke dude with zero time
Alex @ Oct 18th 2006 12:33PM
Wow, an impressive lineup for this week. Especially for the PC. There's at least 5 games on there that are going to gross a lot of money in their first week.
