ARRGGH! OK! We give! We can't pretend like we know how to read for one second longer, we just couldn't face the prospect of elevating one of this week's games above the others.

Me too, buddy. But not because my 360 died, but because of my $4 purchase of the super-fun Mark of Kri for PS2. Playing those older games make me really glad I got a PS3 w/ backward compatability.

Yeah, I guess its alright. I bought SuperStardust HD the first night trophies were available but never played it. Started playing it this weekend and I'm really enjoying it. So far I have 6 trophies :P
Right now, I'm just waiting on my 360 coffin to come in...

I just sent my box to them last wed for the damn red rings. I bitched to them and asked for a supervisor because it was my 4th return (not because of rrod, other issues) so they gave me next day shipping all 3 ways. I just checked and my box should be here today.
SSD is ok but I guess I would have liked it more if I never played Geowars
xFenixKnightx (RRoD hath striketh upon me on 08-03-2008) @ Aug 4th 2008 9:47AM
Yeah its funny because I had just finished downloading the GeometryWars2 trial and was really enjoying the shit out of it (never played GeoWars 1) and was about to buy the whole game but my crap red ringed. I guess it was inevitable since I pretty much had a launch console and had never gotten a RRoD. Anyway I'll be getting GeoWars2 when I get it back. In the meantime SSHD is good fun.
Vcize @ Aug 4th 2008 10:10AM
SSD HD Fenix? You realize GW2 just came out, right?
That game is some crazy fun. Though, some jerk on my friends list got 30mil on Pacifism and I've been pulling my hair out trying to beat it.

Dude, I know I played the GeoW2 trial and was hooked! Then all of a sudden I went to play it again like at 12:30am Sunday morning and BAMMMM!! RRoD strikes like a thief in the night stealing my joy from me. I'll be outta comission for a while man.

Would you believe I've had three different Xbox 360's and not because any of them red-ringed?
I bought the first one in college, then had to Ebay it because it was going to hurt my pocketbook too much in the long run.
I bought another one the next year, and played it for about six months, then traded it in for a PS3 after the 60gig price dropped.
I bought the third 360 and owned it for all of 3 days before I changed my mind and took it back. I'm like the Charlie Brown of video game consoles.

+1 for the Scary Door reference.

You're entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster or some sort of weird mirror. These are just examples. It could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.

how about the week before madden edition
The Doctor @ Aug 4th 2008 9:37AM
Hey. HEY. Do NOT diss Hannah Montana, SIR. Hannah Montana is a work of telivisionicular art that feeble minds such as your own could not begin to understand.

Ooo, I didn't realize the Olympics were at Annette Bening this year.
Do you guys get the interns to type the new games lists? There seems to be a hilarious typo every week.
Shaq-Fu @ Aug 4th 2008 10:38AM
Beining Olympics 2008 on the PC? SWEET
But really, GRiD on the DS looks pretty nice, might have to trade in RD:C&R and pick this up
Sean @ Aug 4th 2008 3:10PM
At least it was a pretty convenient week for my launch console to red-ring...
E.J. @ Aug 4th 2008 3:25PM
So you're saying you're buying "Crash Time" for 360...
Oh irony in game titles...
j.howlett @ Aug 5th 2008 4:03AM
