Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD soundtrack likely won't be identical to old games

Dec 14th 2011 8:21AM (Joystiq)
This is a non-issue.

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.

Super Meat Boy PC's first eight 'rejected' Achievements revealed

That game is so hard. I would get fed up playing N+ but I came back enough times to finish the game.

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.

Death Spank, Deadpool, Ken Masters, Noble 6 (take off your helmet and stay a while!), Francis from L4D, John Marston, Luigi and Ramirez (do everything!)

Halo: Reach stats and upcoming tweaks outlined by Bungie

@Jawmuncher

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.

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

What about people that mute everyone that isn't playing with them? It's pretty common for myself and my girlfriend so simply mute everyone else so we don't have to hear them when we're not in a party.

Behavior like that would skew the data quite a bit.

Review: Blur

...which is why I didn't get that game. Actually I didn't get it because its gimmick "make stuff blow up" is pretty terrible and the demo was sad and short.

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.

This review is garbage.

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.

Columbia Bugathermo hiking boots are heated, rechargeable

Oct 10th 2009 10:08AM (Engadget)
Agreed. Considering how much hiking boots already cost, paying an extra $50 for heat would be a steal to say the least.

What Do You Call a Carbonated Soft Drink?

I live in WI, we call it soda.
I have a number of relatives in Iowa and they call it pop. It's an argument every family reunion, it never gets old.
