Just to clarify, the term "camping" in Halo 2 has nothing to do with being good with a sniper rifle. The term refers to people who hide in one spot ducked down,(resulting in you not showing up on the radar), and wait with a powerful weapon for someone to walk by so they can take them out. Once they kill one person they go back to that hiding spot and wait for another. It's acutally pretty lame and cheap.
Speaking of your game rank on Halo 2, there are only a few game types that you can play that would effect you ranking, all other games you can play are either with a guest or just friends getting together to play a custom game. Now you can say I have a little Halo 2 gameplay under my belt and from my personal experiences, anyone trying to do these glitches during a ranked game would get slaughtered. These tricks are not only fairly hard to do, they also take time. Most people who play Halo regularly, weither they know how to do the glitches or not, know where they are, and if anyone values their rank they would not even try these glitches in a ranked game because they know they would be a very easy target. If you don't like others using glitches leave the game, since 99% of the time the only way you will see a glitch is in a custom game, it won't effect your rank.
Although I don't quite remember the exact plot to any of the games in the Earthworm Jim series,(there were two or three of them), It was a real strange game. To start off you are a giant earthworm that has nothing on but a pair of black sunglasses and went aroud blasting strange monsters with a arsenal of assorted automatic weapons. It's been years since i've played the game so if there is anyone who knows the plot let us know.
Or what my friends and I like to call it, 'crack', is probably THE most addicting board game i've ever played. The thought alone of posslibe X-box Live action gets my tastebuds tingling even more. I couldn't even begin to describe the hours I have spent playing this game and the one fear I have if it does come out on X-box Live is weither my girlfriend and I will be together a couple of days after I get it!
Another thing about the board game, everyone know that Settlers of Catan is a German made game and has won numerous awards including # 1 German board game in Germany a few years back. After plyaing the game for a while my friends and I discovered that you can mak a perfect Swastika out of 4 of the little red city piecies. Coincidence?....I think not.
Although I never played the re-make of Pitfall,(I cant even recall what gaming console it was out on.)it was my favroite game out at the time.
Man, this makes me want to break out the old 2600 and see if it still works.
and every single one of her friends all hate anything to do with a video game. That was until I screwed up by going out and renting Crash Bandicoot for the X-Box. Now every night when I get home from work ready to play a little MechAssult online, I have to fight with my girlfriend and all of her friends in order to get any gameplay. So I would say that Crash Bandicoot would fall into the 'easy to play video games'.
THis guy should do some damn research before mouthing off.....What an idiot. dewd, the guy has one hand. He wanted to know about one handed controllers, it may take a little more time to research the topic(on the web anyway) than to simply ask you people. Lets be helpful, not gay. Chill the F*ck out about him mouthing off. Hell, are you mad b/c he mouths off better with his one hand, than you do with both?
p.s. hope you find a good one-handed controller. and to the anonymous coward: get a fucking life.
This may be a little off-topic but who cares? I went out last night and finally bought a X box console, mainly because of the X box live feature. After getting home and checking out the 2 free games that comes with it, Star Wars and Tetris World, I was pretty excited because the gameplay and graphics were great(One could expect nothing less from Microsoft)although Star Wars and Tetris World aren't my kind of games. After playing for a little while I decided to go out and rent a couple of games. My first stop was at Movie Gallery, which to my disappointment there were hardly any games available, in fact there were nearly 3 to 4 PS2 games for every one X box game. So I left and decided that Blockbuster Video might be a better choice, and to my suprise it was the exact same way there. Now I know that PS2 has been out in the U.S. for a good while now and has had time to make plenty of games but give me a break. X box has been out for a few years now and there are hardly any games available for rent at rental stores. Now, I dont know about anybody else but I rent games before I buy them, seems pretty logical to me. Im not sure what the deal is, weither X box games are too expensive for rental stores to purchase games or it may be that X box isnt popular enough to buy many games for. My thinking is that this my in fact hurt X box sales. A person isn't going to buy a gaming console when find out that there are only a handfull of games, sucky games at that, at your local rental store. Just a Thought.
Although what you say is mostly true, there is a plot behind all of the madness. The main killer isn't killing to make a good movie, he is killing in order to survive, while the whole time the mastermind behind the plot is making the movie. Just thought I'd add my two cents.
Lets face the facts here, granted Manhunt may be one of the most bloodiest games ever made but its not the only one of its kind. Maybe everyone should think back to the early to mid ninties when the infamous orginial Mortal Kombat came out, it was the most gruesome game of its time and look how well it did and is still doing. I agree with all the other/.'ers who say if you dont like the game dont by it. No one can force it apon you and no one wants to hear anyone bitching about it either. There is already an age restriction on the game in the U.S., and that in my opinion is all there needs too be.
In this day and age one can turn on their cable television and see the same stuff if not worse. So let me ask again, whats the big deal?
Absolutely. I would play the freaking game. It sounds like a really fun game that 4 friends would love to play at the same time. I mean, acceptance shouldn't be an issue; these type games have shown that they have alot of potential with U.S. gamers. It would be a terrible mistake for Nintento not to release a game that sounds this fun in the States.
I haven't been keeping up with games too much lately. Is the second Baldur's Gate out yet for the PS2? If so, what is the name of the second installment?

This is unbelievable, you mean to tell me that there are people out there that would pay hundreds of dollars for a vacuum cleaner that vacuums by itself? Once again another way to prove how lazy some people can be.
I seem to remember a/. article a few weeks ago about a voice activated televison set.....Now all we need is this vacuum, a shitter built into the recliner, and a voice activated stove on wheels and we'll never have to get up.
As a part-time high school sub teacher, I can honestly say most of the troublesome kids in high school today could give a rats ass weither or not there's a teacher, principle, lunchlady, ect., let alone a camera.
If you ask me the Board of Education is doing nothing but wasting money that could be used elswhere in the school on cameras that will do nothing but make good targets for vandels.
I think you need to go back under that rock you crawled out from under and go back too bed. How old are you man, like 200. This is the millenium, things change, such as: women have had equal right now for a pretty good while and its most likely to stay that way for a long time so get used to it. Another thing, the constitution was made up and signed by quite a few "good christian men", and if im not mistaken the constitution grants the free people of the United States of America Free Speech, and i'am very grateful for that. You need to get with the program and realize things change over time.
What is the world coming to? First, the invention of the remote control, the first sign that we humans may be a little too lazy for our own good.(don't get me wrong, I would die without my remote control). Now, voice activated televisions? This means one of two things, either the end is near and we can expect a fate much like the one you'll see while watchint T3, or we'll all die because we will all be to fat to move off of the couch.
Lets just hope that the voice activation is a little better than a cel phone I once had. I would end up dialing everyone else besides the person I was trying to dial.
In Michigan they add an additoinal $0.10 when you buy a bottled or canned drink, but if you save them and return them to your local corner market you get the 10 cent refund back. Its a good way to get a little extra cash when you need some and not to mention you'll never see a can or bottle on the side of the road in Michigan.
