I got the crossbow, yeah. It was cool. I would've preferred a sniper rifle, but it was cool. Something different at least.

The crossbow is a godsend on the train bridge. I loved pinning Combine to the walls with it.

Oh, and anyone that's played has to read Concerned. And read the notes, too.

My favorite weapon in that game is the shotgun. It's so great.

The shotgun is ALWAYS the best gun.  In any game.

Devil May Cry 3....tough as hell. 

Rented God Of War, have yet to play it.

I'm tempted to play Half life 2 again, damn that game is good.

Anyone play Matrix Paths of Neo? It got decent reviews.

i played it, and beat it.  overall, it was a good game to play.  some of the hand to hand combat combos got repetitive, but other than that the game is pretty good.  the levels are pretty long, and some are pretty freaky.

Right on, off that recommendation I'll check it out. Someone told me a while back that it was good but way too short.

[SunMo]

the game itself is not real long, that's true, but the levels themselves are long.  i didn't feel cheated when i was done playing it.  of course, i had borrowed it from a friend, had i bought it, i probably wouldn't have felt the same way.

the 1st 45% of the game is the 1st movie, the second movie is about 40%, then they kinda rush through the 3rd movie.

Try it with s-mod if you play through it again. The kicking, exploding corpses, and changes make it worth it.

Devil May Cry 3....tough as hell. 

Told ya.

Rented God Of War, have yet to play it.

One of the best games I ever played.  Easy to learn, great story, perfect music/sound fx and action is pretty nonstop.  If you know a little bit about greek mythology... even better.

so i finally finished a full season of madden 06.  eagles won the superbowl. westbrook got MVP. so the fun part of the offseason came on and i almost forgot i bought a roster card for NCAA 06 and it has draft classes avaliable.  So I uploaded the draft class with real players.  although, its not that accurate with the players now, its still has the major players and it makes things alot more interesting then when drafting no-names.  i traded tra thomas, buckhalter and a 2nd rounder for 20th pick in 1st round.  I got 2 1st rounders and ended up with a LB by the name of Justin Landon and I drafted a FB from Notre Dame, Rashon Powers-Neal.  2nd round I got Daniel Bullocks at SS. Landed a new wr/punt/kick returner in Steve Smith from USC at round 5.  Slipping way down in round 6 I got Bobby Carpenter at ROLB, but is ranked weakly at and OVR rating of 71. 

I am about to sim another season for eagles, just to do the draft over again.

Shadow of the Colossus is a really fun game if no one has played it yet, I'd suggest checking it out.

One of the funnest games I've ever played, although it's pretty damn short. I beat it in 2 days. Probably about 7 or 8 hours.

What exactly is s-mod and how would I play it using Xbox?

You have cheated yourself of half the fun of half-life 2, and you can't use it. Anyway, you can find it here and see what you're missing. http://www.planethalflife.com/features/motw/smod.shtm

Oh well, I think I'll just change the difficulty level instead.
