OMG Modern Warfare 2!!! Its unbelievable so far and I just got to the level called Wolverines! I won't spoil it but if you've seen the movie Red Dawn you can guess what's taking place during the level.

And they've obviously completely left reality behind as the Russians would never (even if they wanted to which they don't) invade America. Oh well, turn off the brain and enjoy.

It's oh-so enticing: You find a copy of a brand-new game like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on a pirate site and the temptation to download it is too strong.

Well, that temptation may have cost up to 1 million users of Microsoft's Xbox Live the ability to use that service. According to a report in InformationWeek, Microsoft has banned as many as a million players from Xbox Live for altering their consoles in order to play pirated versions of games.

LOLOLOL right as MW2 is released. As a person who pays for games, I'm loving it.

True. I found this most informative.
it has nothing to do with mw2 unless they had a bad rip im not banned yet im waiting for it though i think it has to do with the wave four games and using the activate iso cause this one dude played 1.6 firmware and played using the activate iso on 2 of his consoles and on his other console he only played wave 3 and thats the only 1 out of three that isnt banned either that or theyre searching to see who doesnt have the correct firmware or something idk but right now im workin on fixing my old xbox i just bought a new disk drive

From what I've been reading, craigslist and ebay are being flooded with modded xbox 360s.

Be careful in what you buy, if you're buying used.

Just got Dragon Age: Origins today.

The amount of content in these types of games is staggering. I've put a good couple of hours into it and I'm not even out of Lothering yet.

I hear everyone rave about it, I see the reviews, I hear nothing but good, good, good and yet I have not sold a single copy. I don't get it.

It wasn't hyped very much. I had never heard of it before two weeks ago.

It's quite good so far, and incredibly deep.

We actually just got in a bunch of reserve now cards for God of War 3 (omg), Dantes Inferno (omg) and another one that I forgot already, but it's almost exactly like the other two. They look amazing. Almost makes me wish I had a PS3. Almost.
