I could take up several pages 'power pointing' the myriad supply of bullshit this site churns out on a daily basis, from the basic structure/format of the site, to it's appalling moderation staff, to the insipid nature of it's 'little boy' populace. I'll save everyone some reading and summarize, that I totally agree with you on all points. Point taken.

Normally I can avoid going into the boards, and thank God for that, but this was one of those cases where I had to do so, and I specifically wanted to point out that, of all the assholes on the site, these people were the worst.

But really, do you really need to specify Monster Hunter? Take that out and, you have the ultimate review of every board in the history of GameFAQS/Spot. Dude, this was awesome.

If the damn game sells well and makes its money, maybe then people will shut up about how great it is, and if it doesn't, then it just proves no one cares and no one will. Either way, I'm happy. Eh.

The titles on Xbox Live Arcade vary from entertaining (TMNT, Castlevania SOTN) to amazingly addictive (E4) The downloadable video content is solid if not slightly flawed. Renting digital movies for 24 hours for more money than renting them at a store seems a bit off, since the digital copies eat themselves a day after you press play, which makes the HD option seem slightly ...silly for the price increase. Oh, but the game library is actually quite good. Halo 3 was ...well, Halo 3, but it did so much more than you'd have expected them to do that it sorta made me feel bad for not picking it up earlier. Gears of War... was better on the PC. Ace Combat 6 looks INCREDIBLE in HD, my jaw DROPPED. Sonic the Hedgehog sucked. Dead Rising was quite entertaining, and Mass Effect was insane; I didn't get to finish it for the rental and I'm seriously considering dumping $60 to finish it. Then there's the oodles of downloadable freebies; being able to test out arcade games before downloading/unlocking them is AWESOME; the fact that this option is available for ALL of them makes me HAPPY. It's like MS reinvented shareware. I have to admit, I'm severely pissed off that the 360 is my roommate's. I love it. In retrospect, if I didn't have access to a nice, 50 inch widescreen HDTV, I'm not -really- convinced I'd love it nearly as much as I do, which seems sad to me. But not too sad. Xbox 360 is THE first thing I 've ever used that's done a solid job of justifying an HDTV purchase... which isn't too bad for a videogame console at all. Also, for my last post, when I started listing games for the PS3 that'd make me wanna buy them, those games didn't count on purpose, because they're A. overhyped and B. not out yet. The Xbox 360 has always been the more attractive of the two, and now that my Wii's going into the shop to be fixed, me and the 360 will be spending much more quality time together than I'd have previously guessed.

Dead Rising? Mass Effect? Virtua Fighter 5 with online support? Don't be a tool. And Orange Box and Assassin's Creed both came out as 360 titles, and Unreal Tournament 3 WILL BE a 360 title. So your list amounts, then, to MGS4, FFXIII and the remake of FFVII. Two of things will suck, and the third might suck. Just saying. Dude, come on now.
