I'm awful at Halo games. I'm struggling with the Halo Reach campaign on Legendary right now. If anyone wants to help me, that would be fantastic.

Legendary on solo is tough without knowing what's coming. You get caught in a bad spot w/the wrong weapons and you're screwed.

It's ridiculous. I refuse to put it on less than Legendary. I'll just wait for some buddies to get online and go through it with me. MLB 2K10 is pissing me off because the server can't get the rosters right and the network times out. Madden drives me nuts because everyone picks the Saints or Ravens and I refuse to pick anyone besides the Rams. Red Dead is boring as all hell. I'm just going to play Halo Wars. Anyone else have that game? It's extremely underrated IMO. Great time killer.

the fighting is much improved (I don't fight in the game, so it doesn't affect me),

laaaaaaaaame

Even if you beat the campaign on Legendary Co-op, its not added to your profile until you have finished all missions Solo. I completed 8/11 Missions solo, 3/11 Co-Op but it still said "Started Campaign" until I had completed them all by myself on Legendary. It wasn't this way with Halo 3.

Legendary Campaign wasn't too bad, its just the random BS that sometimes gets you, such as you get stuck by a Grunt, a random Wraith shot finds you, or you're reloading when a Grunt w/ a fuel rod cannon point blank decimates you while you're reloading. And killing the Final elites in the last mission. OMG those maroon ones still take 3-4 HS even after losing their shields to a plasma pistol.

Lack of Ammo is probably the worst part, leading to situations like having to take on Hunters solo with only an assault rifle.

I'm playing through the single campaign right now. It might be one of the best designed shooters I've ever played. Bungie really raised the bar with Reach. Hopefully the game is strong throughout.

Nothing beats Goldeneye for N64.

What about this? Goldeneye 007 Wii

Okay that one might do it. Sucks that Mrs. Swirls is taking the Wii with her to Arizona when we head out this weekend. I'll be stuck at home with a new laptop and an original Xbox until I can buy a PS3. Looks like I'll be dusting it off and playing a lot of MLB 2005 and Madden 06 for a while.

When you play in Be A Pro Mode, they seem to get really [expletive] when you get sent to the sin bin

FIFA 11 for ps3 is good.

[clevername]

wish I had the ESPN deal now for the FSU game on Saturday.

of course, I can just hook my computer up to the TV and do the same thing, but I have to get up from the couch to do that.

I traded in a bunch of games so now my only games are Halo Reach, Fifa 11, Madden 11, Halo Wars, and a couple free whatever games.

Someone should get everyone's Xbox gamertags in a nice neat list.
