What do you guys think about it so far?

I'm not gonna use any of them except facebook, and that's gonna be cuz it's easy to sort through my pics on it and I can see em on the big screen. I don't tweet or Zune, and Last.fm sounded sweet, until I found out I can't listen to songs while I play games or do anything besides sit on Last.fm. ]]> Games Imadogg http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225994-xbl-latest-update-facebook-twitter-zune-last-fm.html Ass Creed 2 http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225962-ass-creed-2-a.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:13:29 GMT I liked the first one a lot and I'm liking this one even more. Lots of worthwhile side missions to do for the complainers who said the first one was too repetitive (which it wasn't, and if it was how could anyone ever play Halo or Modern Warfare where the only press RT the whole game?). The story is also good and continues literally where the last one left off. This series is going to make for a hell of a trilogy.

I would suggest if you enjoy Batman: AA you'd probably enjoy this. ]]> Games Imagodd99 http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225962-ass-creed-2-a.html MAME Arcade Emulator http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225806-mame-arcade-emulator.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:25:57 GMT *If any of you guys are interested, here is an arcade emulator called MAME, that basically lets you play any classic game that the emulator supports, such as:* 1.

Mine started to do it a few weeks ago, but only when I played 2K10. It stopped for about 2 weeks, and now it started doing it again, but this time it's doing it with any game I play. I already called MS and they said I'd have to pay $99, but I don't have $99 because I bought MW2 last night and now I can't even play it. Bullshit, I know.

I'm just seeing if anybody else has had this problem and been able to fix it themselves or with a cooling station or something. My 360 is currently sitting horizontally in a small entertainment center with about a foot of open space above it, the entire room in front of it, and about 2-3 feet of open space behind it. The power supply is moved away from the console behind the TV.

The only thing I can think of that is causing this is the fact that the heat in our house is on now since it's getting colder. Could that actually cause it?

inb4 Buy a PS3. I obviously don't have the money. ]]> Games whitemamba http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225737-xbox-360-overheating.html Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Cool Trailer http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225651-resident-evil-darkside-chronicles-cool-trailer.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:20:46 GMT http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ex...ent-evil/57808

And so often we'll tell people to put down just $5 on a game to make sure they get it (and beleive me I'm not advertising, I'd like it more if you just avoided Game Stop and EB altogether). They won't put it down and come in the day of release and try to get it, and we'll tell them it's sold out. Now if I didn't have my 360 modded I'd have $5 on ME2 and then pay off a couple bucks every time I was in the store. That way I don't have to drop $60 on it all at once.

So for those who never reserve games, why? ]]> Games Imagodd99 http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225501-why-don-t-you-reserve-games.html Modern Warfare 3 already in development - video http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225421-modern-warfare-3-already-development-video.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:25:02 GMT click .

I've been having a problem with the online gaming with my ps3. I was playing PURE last week when the console just shut down, and when i turned it back on, the internet will not download latest software updates. i have fifa 08 and 09, and when i try to play these games online, the console simply will not load the game.
i have also noticed, that if i have a game still in the console from a previous night, it wont load automatically anymore as it used to 2 weeks ago! Instead now i have to eject the game when the screen loads, and retry every time!
any hints or clues to help me out guys???? thanks ]]> Games rambo0512 http://www.mixmakers.net/forums/games/225391-ps3-games-help.html
