as people have said, there's notable players in the nfl that have actually killed human beings with no prison time, yet Vick gets all the heat. He's been a good citizen so far and generally sounds remorseful of his actions. He's an interesting redemption story that's also playing far better than when he was an overhyped average QB in Atlanta.


It's interesting if EA has the balls to do it though, given how they backed off marketing Tiger Woods as the focus of their golf franchise.

" You guys remember Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway? That game had an achievement that required you to play online on a particular day - I think it was an anniversary date or something - about a year after the game's release. If you didn't play online on that exact day, you could never get that achievement. I didn't play it that day. "
 
actually, the achievement was to play the game on the day Operation Market Garden started, as it was central to the single player campaign. The problem with it was that the game got pushed back or whatever, so it released after that date and people had to wait a full year to get it legitimately. You can still get the achievement though, just on that specific day.

It's hard to not feel ripped the hell off when the game drops $20 a day after release when I can't even play it as advertised due to THQ's incompetence. The SP is mediocre, and I haven't even really had a chance to play the MP on the 360 due to their server problems. I already accepted taking a loss with this shit and threw it up on ebay. 
 
fuck you THQ.

 Companies are hyping the eco impact angle for PR when it really just allows them to make shit a little cheaper to make and ship.  Besides, I'm doing my part for the environment by just throwing these in the trash as I replace them with proper cases.

matte is best black. 
 
I got it just for the looks, and you can easily throw any 360 HDD in there after you remove them from the proprietary case, even an old 20 GB.

I hate them too, but bestbuy sells replacement cases that come in packs of 4 or whatever. They're cheap as hell and quality replacements for these piece of shit eco cases.

fuck activision up their asses. They bought Bizarre to do F1 games, but were too fucking cheap/stupid to then actually acquire the license over Codemasters. 
 
Hopefully the industry will pick these talented people back up. They made some incredible games and essentially put XBLA on the map with geometry wars.

I'm tired of all these bugs and issues. Since tuesday, I've had more freezes playing this game than the entire time I've played this generation. Unacceptable that server problems render a console game unplayable unless you disable the internet connection.  
 
I loved the first game and enjoyed getting all 1000 achievement points, but goddamn this game is a mess. I'm going to bitch my way to a refund tommorrow.

Whatever, I have been a silver member for over a year, so this changes nothing to me. 
 
I play tons of games and have a decent gamescore in the 65k range, but will never pay MS a dime for something that is free elsewhere. PSN is a competent service for the price of nothing, and I'm actually moving more to PC gaming because of all the console bullshit this generation.
