Bloodwinter Clan

Gladius -

I took a 48 hour break from WoW and tried out Gladius for Xbox. The came is insanely addictive. A complete throwback to old school 'RPG's/TB Strategy' like FF, done right. You cover all the classic RPG gaming draws like, PvE, character building, team party building (in this case you run a gladiatorial school). These tasty genre gems have been infused with a more interactive feel by use of swing metering; similar to those found in sports games. The graphics of Gladius look good for the type (not saying much for classic 'RPG/TB Strategy') and benefit from view movement enhancing playability. The sound track is redundant as fuck but has a LotR feel to it.

Halo -

If you don't have it, buy it. No other game means Xbox more then Halo! This is a console game, so ditch the CPU version and play with the big boys.

Madden 2k4 -

I have been a huge fan of Madden sense 95' and EA rarely fails to deliver. 2k4 was a solid year with the franchise mode gaining most of the attention (stadium building, front office expansion, etc.).

NBA Street Jams 2 -

A few of my buddies launch in to allergic reactions listening to the sound track but the game is fun as fuck. The epitome of sensationalistic sports gaming. Killer graphs, no rules jungle ball and good times. I just feel like a balla after an hour of Harlem madness. The learning curve is quick and you'll need to increase the difficulty level as the default 'Got Game' is a joke. I have my created character Skilless Duchebag on the same team as all the NBA and street legends. Loads of shit to unlock in this fucker.

KOTOR -

Better reviews and feedback then I could give already on the site. Enough said. I currently have a pretty hot chick (melee specialist) named HotPants cruising through gaining light points and a (melee specialist) named Unskilled blatantly being a jerk off gaining dark powers. Still have yet to play all the way through.


I am looking into Need 4 Speed Underground next.

Be sure you read this after saying KOTOR (cooter) a few times...

halo and Kotor are for sure on the list. i also really enjoyed prince of persia sands of time and NHL HITZ 2002 (assuming you have a buddy to play against and not just playing the AI)

believe it or not gauntlet dark legacy is surprisingly addictive too. the graphics blow and the gameplay is simple but for some reason i cant stop playing.

Rainbow Six 3 and Mech Assault. nuf said

Rainbows and glitter: a Carebear's story.

Well, as for games I've played before and really liked, KoTOR, HALO, WSB2K3, etc..

The games I'm into now are:

1) Top Spin - Virtua Tennis the sequal, minus the williams sisters. This game is amazing.

2) Project Gotham Racing 2. I hate racing games, even though I get speeding tickets monthly now. This, however, is one amazing game. I still prefer Rallisport Challenges' graphics, but this game is way more fun.

3) Prince of Persia.. it was fun for the first few levels, I got stuck on a part, giving it some time now. This game is really really repetitive at times.

4) NBA Live 2004. Malone2Shaq4tehwin.

Some games I got, but haven't had time to play yet:

Beyond Good And Evil, Deux EX: Invisible War, Armed and Dangerous, GTA Double Pack, Grabbed By The Ghoulies.

Its gonna be a loong winter

*edit*.. if I were to assign numerical scores, Top Spin and PGR2 I'd give a 10 flat out. Prince of Persia maybe 8 or 9, and NBA Live an 8. Maybe I'd give PGR2 an 11.

where did you get stuck in Prince of Persia?

Stuck isn't really a good word..

I got to some gigantic obstacle course where I had to do a bunch of pole swinging and wall running to get to the other side of the room, and i just turned the damn thing off because it was like the 10th one of those things I had to do

This is about 5 or 6 hours into the game, so its a few hours after I got the dagger of time.
