Yeah. Burn the CDs to it, or connect it to your computer, or plug an MP3 player into the USB slots.

Then access the guide menu, and tab over to the music player.

You can do this for ANY GAME. ANY GAME.

That is awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. Now if only I had the MW2 soundtrack on CD to play over EVERY GAME.

What? Don't look at me like that. Hanz Zimmer is amazing.

I don't agree with Mass Effect 2 myself, for reasons I made very clear on this forum a longtime ago, but I can certainly see the appeal - though overall it's a nice list that features a variety of genres - did you get chance to play Alan Wake, out of curiosity?

I did indeed, and I enjoyed it a lot. LOVED the story/atmosphere and the amazing lighting effects. Unfortunately I found the combat to be dull, annoying, repetitive and a pain in the ass so it wasn't in my top picks.

Actually... here you go:

I'm surprised a musician like yourself didn't know about the feature.

Or find it cheaper somewhere else.

Very nice, Miracle. And I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with most of your picks. Particularly Enslaved(Serkis needs to be in more games, dammit!), RDR, and ME2. About one hundred hours in it, and I still want to play it more.
Brotherhood I liked, but I'm not sure if I'd put it over some of the other games I've played this year. And I haven't gotten to play NV yet...
*cries a bit*

I really hope they do put Serkis in more games... imagine ME3 or the next Assassin's Creed with someone of his mo-cap/voice talents!

You are better off not having played new Vegas yet.... by the time you do it will have been patched!

I think I'd pass out in absolute glee if that happened.
He's just got a bloody perfect voice!

Well, since I'm probably going to be getting it in January, I'd certainly hope so! XD

The guy made my favorite movie of all-time just that... my favorite movie of all-time.

If someone says something... it won't be me.

Wow, I am lame.

Yes. That one.

Really though, do you dislike about it that much?

I guess I just feel that any game that causes me more grief than fun shouldn't be in a top 5 list!

Do I think it's better than MW2? Yes. Better than COD4? Hmmm, not so much. Is it the laggiest fucking game I've ever played? Yes. I know that's the servers' fault, not the game itself, but still. At least in MW2 when you shot at someone it hit them.

Yes, getting exploded is annoying, yes, getting Commando-ed is annoying, yes, getting spawn-trapped is annoying (although you say it has the worst spawn system yet, which it doesn't, hello, Halo: Reach).

Spawn trapping ain't the problem... it's when the whole damn enemy team I just killed spawns ten feet behind me.

But I didn't find even a tea spoon of that frustration that I experienced in MW2 in Black Ops.

And it still has that awesome singleplayer (which is totally inferior to MW2's campaign, huzzah, I guess you'll have to find out later in that review I'm writing, or, oh wait, you're writing it, too, sorry I haven't written much, been a hard week and it still is, I'll get to it, I promise, longest sentence ever).

Single player I can agree on, it was great. But for me just not quite as great as the five I picked! Call me strange but MW2 was my favorite COD campaign by far.

Or find it cheaper somewhere else.

I have no credit card

Should be setting up a Paypal soon though. Will be getting my MW2 rocks on then.

Assuming that was your only major problem with Bayonetta, I'd try the game now.

If there were other problems, well, I just taught you something nice, but I can't fix those.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

At least in MW2 when you shot at someone it hit them.

Well, in Black Ops, it actually hits people even when you're not shooting at them.

The hitbox is as big as the Moon.

Single player I can agree on, it was great. But for me just not quite as great as the five I picked! Call me strange but MW2 was my favorite COD campaign by far.

Likewise.

The music, the voice acting, the pressure, the set pieces - perfect.

Too bad everyone remembers it for the multiplayer.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

But... it's so unengaging. And the needless micromanagement of samey weapons is annoying.

And, while the dialogue is excellent, the level design's fairly garbage.

Yeah, the level design blows goats. And the micro-managing is awful. Just throw it onto Easy and fly through it for the story.

It's all vastly improved in ME2, and the shooting feels better, more like Gears Of War.

I know, I played the demo.

It was really, really good. In fact, so good, that it made me forgive BioWare for everything.

I'm sure Onyx is looking at the posts and thinking I'm out of my mind.

That's the price of having a 6-hour campaign in order to focus on the multi, I guess.

Still, twas 6 of the best hours I've ever spent.

As for the hit detection...


I was laughing when I watched this, he feels pretty much exactly how I do about the game.

That was the main thing. And I didn't like the protagonist. But the combat was great, as were the set pieces.

It's not to focus on the multi. CoD has never been really that long and, when it has, it has been at its most... boringest.

Anymore than six hours would be an overdose.

Also, on the video... I think he hit him. Really. At least twice.

Yeah but he didn't die until he was past the white section of wall and well into the safe zone... either way one of them was having some seriously delayed reactions to thier actions on screen, and its like that for me EVERY time I play. I'm not exaggerating either, my internet connection utterly hates Black Ops for some reason. I get about 3-4 deaths in every game where I want to scream 'Bullshit!' I even have a video in my fileshare where I knife lunge right through a guy as if he were a ghost!

I think he got shot through the wall, that's it.

But, yeah, delayed reaction deaths are a CoD staple. I just accept them as a fact.

 

[Julianking93]

Very nice list thingy you've got here! It was very enjoyable to read and I liked your picks... though I don't really agree with any of them to be quite honest >>

Anyway, great job! Keep up the good work. I'll be doing the same thing sometime here soon ^-^

They sure are... maybe I'm being unfairly harsh, but you'd think at this stage they'd have fingured something out. I mean, it's what, the seventh game in the series?

Aaaaaanyway.... if we keep on like this we're going to ruin our dual review!!

 

[Ninjamedic]

Get RDR Get RDR Get RDR Get RDR

Okay, I shall get it, (only for undead nightmare)

Sorry about Black Ops Multi being another clusterfuck.

Tsshhh...

Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, would we?
