Yeah I had the 360 set to download TFU last week but Fay came in and took out the cable for the day. I got it later but it was like 2am and I was barely conscious when I tried it. I’ll give it another shot. Seemed very cool, my only gripe was it’s solo only. Darned MMO’s have ruined me. Ruined me, I say!

A friend and I did co-op in Crackdown recently and I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. The chaos we wreaked upon the city… It was also fun diverting traffic so one of us could set up a ramp truck to make a stunt jump. Then climbing the Agency tower! I’d been there before and I have 4-star agility so I made it to the top and lobbed grenades at my buddy. Just close enough so he’d panic when he heard the “beep beep beep” as it fell by him, or exploded near him, but I kept them far enough away to not actually knock him off the building. Fun stuff.

I’ve had Real Life things the past couple weeks, so I’m looking forward to my first Guild Wars romp in a few weeks with the Tuesday Noob Club later today. Just hoping we actually do something this week. It’s started to get so popular we have more than one group’s worth of players but no one taking the reigns for the day’s activities.

Force Unleashed is quite impressive. My 9 yo starting whacking out some combo’s that just were impressive.
Crackdown is an awesome game, and would rock if you could have a whole open world with multiple players.
As to DDO, I have a story coming up on my blog about my weekend. It was not pretty after the wife issues, and then I found my own.

Ah well, Guild Wars still always attracts me, and it is so difficult now to think of other games, as their fun factor fails in comparison.

I may finally be done with MMOs, and today I am mourning.

I tried the Too Human demo and the controls just made me mad. However, there is a demo for the new Star Wars Unleased game and its lots of fun.

Also, if you like arcade games, try Geometry Wars 2. It’s a lot more fun than the first one, lots of different modes to try out and it’s very addictive too.

Oh and I got the DLC so I’m going to be looking for a co op game with you soon, just remember, I suck at Crackdown, so be nice. lol
