You need to get this new version. It's genius.

The last thing I need is another video game. I have already wasted 140+ hours (damn them for showing how much time has been spent in gameplay) on Oblivian (the first game I bought for xbox 360) and I still have yet to beat the damn thing completely. Other than that, I usually just spend my time with my cousin Adrock playing Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. I've tried lately to only buy games that I can play co-op (on the same screen). I'm just waiting for GoW2.

Silentkid's translation: The first thing you need is another video game.

I have Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on the PS3. It's a great game. Too bad I didn't get in on the 360 because I could be playing it with you online. But I didn't cause I'm lame (my Xbox gamertag is JSwiv...I have Halo 3 and Gears of War and the Guitar Hero games). Another reason that you should get Bionic Commando Rearmed is that it has co-op play on the same screen. And it's only $10 or however many MS points that equates to, like 800 or something. See, I keep coming up with reasons. I'm also eagerly anticipating the arrival of Gears of War 2 (it's best if you read this last sentence using Comic Book Guy's voice).

There is one really cool thing about Star Wars: Force Unleashed. I was playing the second level at lunch and you can perform a move called Jawa Punt. You walk up to a Jawa, push the square and the X simultaneously (on PS3 controller) and it has you levatate and electrically strangle the little freak, followed by a kick that sends him flying. Hilarious. I kept doing it over and over and over and over. Nehor: This move makes the game a definite rental.

I'm a looser and haven't jumped into the realm of Xbox Live yet.

Another reason that you should get Bionic Commando Rearmed is that it has co-op play on the same screen.

2 player split-screen co-op you say? Is it actual co-op (as in all of the missions) or is it the sucky kind where there are only a few "missions" you can do and then a bunch of dumb side-games?

See, I keep coming up with reasons.

You possess great skill. Thank goodness you aren’t trying to get me to do crack... or are you?

LMAO (really). This caused two and a half snorts (almost a full three snorts, but a Ramen noodle found its way into my nasal cavity and stifled the final snort).

I haven't played the co-op yet because I have no friends, but from what I've read, you get to play with your co-op partner on the same screen. If you get too far apart, the game goes split screen. Technology! I'm pretty sure you get to play through all the mission levels this way.

Co-op partner? I thought that was only legal in Massachusetts.

Before that I was spending way too much time playing Oblivion (I've still got some work to do there - maybe I'll get back to it this week). I joined an all-girl gamer clan for COD4, and we like to go around killing the boy gamers (it's so satisfying to hear "Oh man, I got beat by a girl!").


Awesome! I love COD4. I play it on PS3 also. My online name is silencekit. I'm not in a clan yet. I think I'm around level 28 or something. Add me as a friend sometime. Then you can kill me when I'm online.

Get COD4 for PC and I'll show you girls how it's done.

It's actually a red tiger camouflage M60E, no ACOG (the change in perspective effs me up). FEAR ME!
