  •   I'm not a huge fan of the single player in COD4, or any COD other than the first one for that matter. It just doesn't hold my interest. However, the fast pace style of the multiplayer has kept me playing for almost two years now. COD4 gives me an incentive to keep playing with the level system, something that most FPSs (I'm looking at you Halo), doesn't.

  •   I have to be honest, Twilight Princess was the first game I didn't use a guide on, and I've been playing since the NES era. Majora's Mask is particularly tough without any help.

  • Ekasra replied to the topic When did Halo 3 get the snazzy skin? in the Halo 3 board.
      I must say, Giantbomb only throwing up ads relevant to similar games (hence why you can only find this Halo skin on halo games) is a brilliant idea.

  • Ekasra replied to the topic Life Goals?
      This question is pretty two fold for me, I suppose. There are things I really want to do that just aren't possible, exploring space is one of them. But when it comes to things that are possible, there are four things on my mind: pick up the bass again, pick up hockey again, marry my girlfriend and raise a family with her, finish my eduction. I find it quite ...

      I don't really understand where you're coming from mate? Are you warning us that history can repeat itself because we're still putting out bad games? We live in a much different industry. The internet has allowed us to judge a game's quality shortly before it comes out and allows the developer to not flood the market with a game that isn't a triple A title (*cough* ET). It also ...

  •   I can't really tell you any specifics when it comes to the site's readership, but I think it's safe to say that a large portion of people that frequent Giantbomb on a daily basis are those that have been a fan of the guys since they all worked together at Gamespot. When they all left, Gamespot's personality died for me and a lot of the other's and it was ...

  •   Well, I mean if it's cheating or not really depends on your own moral compass. If you have some pretty deep feelings for your girlfriend, then you'll start to feel it if it is cheating. As for finding girls online to fufill this bet, it's a little harder than where I have found past girlfriends on Gaia as opposed to a site specifically dedicated for dating. The trick is ...

  I know that many who will read this will not be entirely familar with my gaming background over the past year or so. About a month or two ago, I quit World of Warcraft, which had been the only gaming experience I was having for the past three years. Needless to say, it's a very social game, and the leaving all of my friends and guildmates was a tough decision in the end. 

  However this isn't a thread about my gaming history and another topic about me leaving WoW. I pose this question to you: What communities, other than Giantbomb, are effective ways of meeting other gamers who share a similar passion for gaming. Although I have plenty of friends that I see in the "real life", we don't really have similar interests, especially when it comes to gaming. My girlfriend is the same way, though she likes to rock out in Rock Band on easy vocals from time to time. Since WoW, I've been pretty introverted while gaming, especially on Xbox Live because most I encounter aren't the brightest lightbulbs in the box. Anyway, I'm sure you guys can come up with some answers.

  I've written my first guide on Giantbomb. It primarily focuses on how to get all of the Star Trek D-A-C achievements in a very short amount of the time, because let's face it: We all like points. Right?

Go check it out.

  So, I have all these games and that's something I haven't been able to say for a while. I have a stack of stuff I want to play, but I'm really having a TON of difficulty picking what to play. So as a result, I'm polling the Giantbomb aduience. Here are your choices:

1) GTA4. A pretty large time commitment, especially since my goal in all of this is to get as many games 1000/1000gs as possible.
2) Halo 3. I went ahead and bought all the maps in order to play some online.
3) CoD: WAW. Picked this up from Blockbuster yesterday and have it until Saturday or so unless I want late fees. 
4) CoD4: Although my disk was scratched to hell, I have a loaner from a friend.
5) GoW2: Is coming tomorrow in the mail most likely from the Canadian version of Gamefly. 
6) Lego: Indy: Is coming on Tuesday.
7) Lego Star Wars: Complete: Is coming on Tuesday. Although I've already gone through and got most of the original trilogy achievements, I am not looking forward to this one.
8) Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts: Anyone know how easy this one is in terms of points?

  If you've been reading my blog posts in the past week, you probably know that I have recently quit WoW to persue a much more well rounded gaming "career".   As of a result of playing WoW for so long and not really caring about the two game consoles sitting beside my television collecting dust, I found something extremely disturbing. All of my games, excluding a few ones that aren't even worth mentioning, were gone. Call of Duty 4, Rock Band 2, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, all games that I have bought in the past three years that I haven't once spent more than a couple hours with at maximum. This also includes a little game called Halo 3. I've been so caught up in World of Warcraft that I didn't notice that my friends were picking apart my game collection like vultures for so long. I suppose I can be blamed for this, but I do have a friend (who held the majority of these games for a long period of time) who doesn't really look after petty things like 60 dollar disks very well. When I got CoD back, I poped it in this afternoon and noticed that on the third mission of the single player campaign, the disk became unreadable by my xbox. After cleaning it with the famous toothpaste technique, I have yet to put it in. But even after I got this big stack of games back from him, I was still missing one in which I wanted to try and get the full gamerscore out of. Halo 3. Eventually after tearing my room apart, I found it stuck between two of my little sister's school binders as she was the last to play it. It's a little banged up, but not as bad so I hope it works flawlessly. 

  Question of the Day: Are the map-packs that seem to be REQUIRED to go online with worth purchasing? Or is Halo 3 a dead game these days?

Thinking about throwing in Assassin's Creed (the first one) to generate interest in the sequel... or at least try to. Worth finishing?
