EDIT: Scratch that, my eyes
a: skipped over it
or b: computer didn't load it (sometimes does that *sigh*)

sandcrawler-like thing for it, with reverse wheels on top.
Also, anyone gotten past the tube lvl? It's so annoying, but the vids I've seen look so cool.

Here's a retail game recently released for free and it's pretty sweet at that. You control two army squads and you have to use tactics at every corner (literally). Believe me, it's not easy.
Full Spectrum Warrior

Also, Area 51 was just released for free too. It's fun for a one-time play through but that's about it.

Tell me what you think of it! My connection is crud, so I don't want to download it before I know how good it is.

Anyone here play 4Story? It just went into open beta a couple of days ago. I tried it out, its a really fun free MMORPG and the best one I've tried but you must have a good video card to play it. I tried it out on my laptop with the lowest settings and I gotta tell you the results were not that good :P It lagged to pieces :cpu:

So a quick mini-review of Area 51:

PROS:
-Decent play length
-Some fun 'easter egg' moments
-Decent graphics
-Good range of weaponry (particularly some of the later weapons you pick up)
-The US Air Force 'nag video' isn't very annoying
-The environments change a lot as you get deeper into the complex. It really helps
Hidden/Spoiler:
Using the mutation mode is pretty fun once you get infected
CONS:
-Bad voice acting. I like David Duchovny as an actor, but not in this role. He had no emotion whatsoever. Marilyn Manson sucked as well
-Buggy weapons. I stopped using some of the human weapons due to problems after reloading. You would have to hit fire, release, then hit fire again to get them to shoot sometimes
-The nag video sometimes starts just before a cutscene is over, meaning there's still a word or two that plays after the video is done
-Lots of "wave after wave" stuff. You get trapped in a room and basically deplete the ammo in all of your weapons killing off enemies before being able to move on. Not a big deal, but this happens like every 10 minutes, and it gets old.


SUMMARY:
Download the free version and play through it. Honestly, it's never gonna be worth a buy or even a rental on the Xbox. I got literally 5 minutes from the final boss and got sick of the game, so watched the ending on YouTube. It's fun and worth the download, but because of the cons it's only worth it if it's free.

I played it in the Past more than 3 Times and its absolute awesome for a Game that is so old.

Yeah, I guess it's all based on opinion. The biggest thing that bothered me was the glitchy human guns, though I don't know if that's a problem with the retail version.

RUNESCAPE IS SO MUCH BETTER NOW.
Seriously, you can't say it's got awful graphics now.
Like, for Java, it's AMAZING.
I was freaking stunned. I hardly recognize the free world now :o

I'm potatoed0 btw.

Only problem is (at least for me and everyone I know who's tried the updated version), it lags horribly...

Not for me. And my computer isn't very good :P
I guess if you had like High Speed Lite or something it may be slower.

Ok... I stopped playing RuneScape mainly because they started ruining it with updates, starting with the Grand Exchange. Now, don't get me wrong, the GE is handy, but it put prices on everything, and now I can't even pay my friend back for the rune helmet he gave me bout a week ago, because his new account is lvl 7 and mine is 89. (yes he made a new acc after he gave the helm to me) Prettymuch the only interesting thing in it now seems to be the graphics. (my opinion). I only use my account for FunOrb now xD

Sorry if this counts as a novel. lmao.

EDIT: Oh yes, the graphics lag me too.
