Not sure what I'm going to play next

Assassin's Creed

[Jim]

Fire Pro Wrestling Returns is fucking awesome. And it's only $15. If you enjoy wrasslin' games, you owe it to yourself to pick it up.

[wolf99x]

Completely agreed with you there, Jim. It's fun to play and fun to watch. Plus the customization...good lord the customization.

Isn't it all timing, and when you figure out the timing there's no way to lose? That's the problem I had with the one Fire Pro game I had on emulation from a while back.

I've lost plenty of times even when I was executing my grapples perfectly. Bob Sapp is a fucking monster and knocked Bret Hart out with some kind of reverse powerbomb.

[Jim]

Yeah, you can definitely still lose even if you have the timing down. I have it down completely and I still lose grapples from time to time. The computer opponents are generally more persistent about actually trying to end the match than I am too, so that can also lead to losses.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympics has just about ruined my arms.

[Alex]

Front Mission for the DS is pretty good, although I've yet to encounter any of the bonus stuff, aside from some cameos from later Front Mission games.

[zack hoagie!]

i tried the new strat and i can safely say i do not care for it

[Casey]

I bought the disc separately since I already own GH2 and will be buying GH3 with its guitar. I already had two USB microphones (from Karaoke Revolution), so I'll just buy the drums separately. I've heard very good things about the GH3 guitar.

The shitty Rock Band guitar broke about an hour after we got it out of the box. Apparently there's a way to take off
the back to fix the strummer problem everyone seems to have, but it voids the warranty so I think we'll just send it back and hope for a better one. The Guitar Hero 3 controller works fine. My roommate also managed to crack the drum pedal in two, but some duct tape fixed that right up, so it's still going strong after about 4 days.

Don't stay up all night singing, either. It wrecked my voice for 2 days.

Other than that, Rock Band is just about the most fun thing you can do with 3 other people. Although someone always gets kinda screwed because the bass parts on pretty much every song but Dani California suck balls.

isn't tom sawyer fun to play on bass

Question: can i use my GHIII (xbox360) wireless remote for Rock Band?

[Casey]

Answer: yes.

[Dollo]

Question: which is better, GH 2 or RockBand?

[Casey]

Not-Really-An-Answer: I like Rock Band's song list better than GH3, and I have people who will play with me frequently, so Rock Band is much more fun for me. The GH games are solid, although I like that Rock Band appears to be interested in offering your choice of songs via downloadable content whereas the leadership of Activision has said that they want to put out a new Guitar Hero (i.e. $60 disc full of some songs you want and others you don't) every year. I'm hoping that Harmonix will instead let a single Rock Band disc last for longer and just offer more choice on the downloadable content, but only time will really tell in that regard.

[Dollo]

Activision also said they'd do yearly releases of virtually ALL their titles (Call of Duty 5, etc), not just the GH series.
