That's the only one I never played. I don't mind the controls of the Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman. Someone earlier in the thread said the Lego Indy wasn't as good as the others though, so that may be the case.

Yes you really should play BioShock asap. It's like a great piece of art. It's one of the best games I've ever played. So, kindly go pick up BioShock. (That sentence will have a lot more meaning to you if you play the game) ;)
The best part is, I have had it in my house for like 3 months. My cousin let me borrow it, and its just sat there, due to playing NHL and MW2.

I like Assassin's Creed II, but I'm beginning to feel some of the repetitiveness complaint from the first one creeping up in me.

There's more to do outside of the story line, which is good, and they got rid of those stupid eavesdropping missions but even though the formulas for side missions and plot missions are different from the first one they're still formulaic. I guess it's inevitable and it took a lot longer for me to say "OK that's enough of these ones" than it did with one and it's still good.

I popped Undisputed back in, forgot how much fun a fighting game could be. I enjoy chocking people online.

Fallout 3 and Bioshock are, by far, my two favorite games for 360. I don't care if there is no multiplayer....the games are truly epic.
Fallout 3 is the greatest game I've ever played...for the PS3 too. I hated it at first, and was completely expecting something else. Wow, was I ever wrong!

I bought my brother COD: MW Reflex Edition for the Wii for Christmas.

He hates me because I'm better at it than he is.

I should finish up Lego Batman by this weekend.

I need to start a new game. The choices are Mario Galaxy or Zelda: the Twighlight Princess

Which should I tackle next.

I think that is what I'm going to play.

Quick question. Did you collect all the power stars? And did you also complete it with Luigi?

How long would it take to do that. I'm just trying to gauge how much time I'm going to have to spend to complete this game. I love completing games 100%.

Also, how many Pens fans were in Buffalo? What was the percentage of Pens fans to Sabres fans? Were there more Pens jerseys that Sabres at the game last night?

i did with both and it didnt take that long...it was comparable to how long it took to do mario 64, at least for me.

oh, and 4500, 1:2.5, about even

SMG >>>>>>> TP, IMO.

TP is okay, has some epic boss fights, but has a lot of boring parts as well. SMG is just badass. I never got anywhere near collecting 100% of the stars or anything though.

I'm up to 99% on Lego Batman. I only need one canister and to beat the bonus board in Arkhum (the lego city). I did Wayne Manor last night. It took me 25 minutes.

The canister I need is on the last Penguin board where you slide down the hill and have to go through the five gates. I've done it about four or five time, I just can't get my guy to get to the left in time, and it's frustrating because once you miss it, you have to do the whole board again.

Beerman, or anyone else who played this, did you get this one? Any tips?

I know that I am behind, but I just got in the first Uncharted for the PS3 and I am really liking it. I had MW2 for the 360, but I got tired of it real quick. Thank god for gamefly.

Cannot wait for Army of Two: The 40th day and M.A.G. to come out

That's one of the only ones I don't have. I got to like 98% and got frustrated when I couldn't get the last few and haven't played since.

I remember you and someone else talking about the one where you have to hit the two bells at the same time being almost impossible. I must of lucked out on that one because last night, I build the one cannon and just did a rapid fire back and forth and after like 10 seconds, it appeared. I was waiting for that one to take forever.

Yeah, I need that one, the one with the slides and I think one or two more. I know there's one that I've tried the indicators and everything and the arrow is literally in the middle of a freaking wall and I can't figure it out. That's what made me quit :lol:

I've used the indicators for the last few because I want to move on (and I figured if I was good enough to figure out how to get that red brick, then I should be allowed to use the cheat!).

I've found that if there was an arrow in the middle of the wall and you couldn't find it, one of two things need to happen. You have to solve another puzzle around the room and that is the sport the canister/brick will appear.

Or, the canister is actually in an ajoining room and you have to go to the next room to actually find it.

I think the hardest one I found out was on the Joker tower board, at the beginning, you had to boomerang down two chandelers and make a cleaning machine. Once that happened, I didn't know what to do, I just started riding around. I realized though that there was purple and gold paint on the floors all around the cathedral and you had to drive around cleaning that up. The canister then appeared on top of some steps in the room, nowhere near where I did the whole job. That was where one of those floating arrows was for.
