Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD soundtrack likely won't be identical to old games
Dec 14th 2011 8:21AM (Joystiq)You can (I'm assuming) find the soundtrack easily, then either put it on your 360 and use those tracks instead of the game's soundtrack or just run it off your home network (how I do music on my 360).
I have fond memories of playing Dead Rising while listening to Paul Simon's Graceland album, for example.

Nov 11th 2010 12:56AM (Joystiq)The way SMB goes about it is to go "here, beat these levels" and then they go "Now do it under a certain amount of time" and you do that and then "Now go to the dark world where you have to beat the levels again, but now they're much harder"
"stop crying"
I believe the game says I have beaten 196 or 198 levels.

Sep 20th 2010 11:32AM (Joystiq)I do as well but I've only betrayed two people... friends when I totally dinked a grenade in campaign... it was extremely sad.
I hurt teammates all the time accidentally when they decide it's a great idea to go for the melee kill when more than just them are shooting at an opponent. It's their own fault but I'm very lucky I haven't been booted yet.
Halo: Reach stats and upcoming tweaks outlined by Bungie
Sep 20th 2010 11:30AM (Joystiq)I disagree completely. I managed to get 25 kills with a Banshee on Spire because of those new controls. I don't like the new Wraith but otherwise the vehicles are as good or better than they were in Halo 3.
Let their voices be unheard: Halo: Reach has an auto-mute feature
Sep 15th 2010 4:32PM (Joystiq)Behavior like that would skew the data quite a bit.
Review: Blur
Jun 4th 2010 10:26AM (Joystiq)Blur is awesome because it pretty much lacks the rubber band catch up mechanic so if you suck you're going to stay in last.
I have seen races where people get lapped but the next race will have everyone fighting for 1st and when that's 10-20 people it makes for a very memorable experience.
Review: Blur
Jun 4th 2010 10:23AM (Joystiq)New cars aren't worse, they're scaled for driver ability. Newer cars handle worse (typically) but are faster, accelerate better and/or have more durability.
Online play does have MW2-esque limitations for choosing what to play but only until you reach a certain, easy to obtain level requirement and if you stick with online play for an hour or two, you'll reach them.
The first couple gametypes are the best ones anyway so there's next to no reason to complain about it.

May 5th 2009 9:03AM (Urlesque)I have a number of relatives in Iowa and they call it pop. It's an argument every family reunion, it never gets old.
