Joyswag: 1 year of Xbox Live Gold & a pile of XBLA games [update]

Dec 23rd 2009 8:57PM (Joystiq)
I want to get Gravity Crash, Shatter & PixelJunk Eden for PSN, and if I get XBLA credit I'd really like to buy Trials HD and its DLC and maybe Diner Dash!

Far Cry 2 bugs squashed on 360, 'Hardcore Mode' added

I was somewhat disappointed with the graphics the first few days I was playing it, but after that I realized how much they were doing in the environment, and how everything meshed together to create really stunning scenery. I was again and again mesmerized by the beauty of the game, even though a tree stump up close would look simple and low-res-textured.

I guess I should add that I really liked Far Cry 2, it was one of the most engrossing and entertaining games I played last year, and that really surprised me.

I just don't think publishers should allow themselves to release a game with such a horrible save-bug.

I ran into that game-breaking bug. To be precise, after 60% or so completion of the story mode, all saves corrupted except for those saved at a certain few safehouses, including all automatic in-mission saves.

I had to find out which safehouses were, well, 'safe' through trial & error. Woohoo.

Still, I persevered and finished the game by playing for longer sessions and always making it to one of those safesafehouses, because I'm frakkin' insane.

I know a few friends who simply gave up on the game when it started happening to them.

I'm amazed this hasn't been talked about more, because everywhere I find discussion on this bug there are a lot of people that encountered it. Perhaps most people only finished half the game before moving onto something else.

Lost Cities no longer found on XBLA

Hmmm. Shame. I was looking to buy this if it would drop to 400 or less.

The trial was good; but it was a bit feature-sparse for 800 MSP.

Is your Xbox 360 an E74 victim?

Mar 18th 2009 12:15PM (Joystiq)
I got the E74 error in mid-February, on the Xbox I got last summer.

Happily, Amazon refunded the Xbox, since they no longer stock the 20 GB version.

I'm so glad you guys got away from the "fanboy" moniker. That's what made me originally hesitant about the site.

Congratulations on the upgrade!

FanPoll'08: Xbox 360 Game of the Year

I would have voted for Mirror's Edge, as that is my GOTY. But Fallout 3 is my second favourite of the year, so I chose that here.
