lots of people own Red Dead and there are plenty of L4D fans
Next month will probably see a CoD and Team Fortress 2 appear.
It is highly probable that I will be able to turn up on the 7th, 14th, and 29th. Maybe the15th and 28th as well, if I can get my copy of Red Dead back from my buddy in time.
How'd you like the Americaland/Canada nights? Good idea?
Looks like it's just the 7th for me unless i've finally started Halo Reach for the following week.
Left 4 Dead 2 & Rock Band 2 sound good though. :)

I like the America nights. I enjoy playing on Friday's when I manage to get off work in time to join you all, but I think the Saturday night games will be easier for me to get to.

Same here - Saturdays work well - I may be mistaken, but aren't there some Saturdays missing from the line-up? 8th & 22nd?
nope EST nights are fortnightly for the moment, if they're super popular i will make them weekly
your always free to make your own gaming nights, Thursdays are usually busy and Saturdays

I just bought Hydro Thunder earlier this week during the Holiday sale. Now I'll have an excuse to play it. ;D
That's the idea!!

Probably will at some point, it was one of the daily deals this time around.
i hope so as it sounds like a good game

i tried the demo, it's a lot of fun but not worth 1200. I am sure it will be on deal of the week at some point during 2011 and when it is we can both get a copy each :)
Hydro.. THUNDER!!1!

Save yourself a little chedda and SHARE (http://360fahrenheit.com/fahrenh1_forum1/index.php?topic=447.0). Me and my sisters never buy the same XBLA games and Rock Band tracks. 8)
hydro ... THUNDERRRRRR!!!1!
tbh now that i have spent 400msp on it, i would say it's definately worth 1200 points >_<
It'll take you about 3 hours to unlock all the maps, which is 18000 points, but you need 60000 to unlock the last Tournament and 100,000 for one of the achievements. Each map has 10 collectables and each map has 3 time trials where you have to shuttle through increasingly difficult rings, gauntlet mode which is a time trial but with explosive barrels everywhere and 10 Tournaments. Each boat also has extra livery you have to unlock by doing certain levels with that boat. It's gonna take 10+ hours to complete.
Not only all that content though, but the game is FUN .... simplez.

too complex, we may as well just get two cheap copies when it's on DOTW then we can play online together without all the hassle. If it was a game that had no online or that we didn't want to play together i would just transfer my profile onto her console or vice versa. We very rarely buy the same xbla game anyways so it's a lot of effort just to save literally a few pounds.
Failed, If there are two Weeks a month spare on Saturday's, How about making one of those Retro night, Maybe picking a game from Yesteryear.
I bet everyone has a few games knocking about that they don't get to play online with, I'm thinking the likes of: Gears 1 (keep GM happy ;)) Halo 3, Prey, Far Cry 2, The Darkness, Quake Wars or many more, Even something like GTA, Not necessary these games but you get the picture just older games to play once a month.
Considering you could probably buy the older games for around a fiver people might pick them up if they think they will get played by the community.
It's just an idea, Would like to know what you think Failed and other members.
what do other people think?
I don't often play much on Saturday's, but i might be tempted by a few games like Prey or The Darkness.
I have no life, so I am usually home and online on Saturday nights. I would be up for playing some of the older games if I could pick them up for cheap.
Sambo's idea sounds like a good one, IMO. I've definitely got some older games that could use some love with regards to their MP status (UT III / Timeshift / Stranglehold / Quake 4, etc). For those without many older games, it also seems like a budget conscious idea - which is always a plus.
BTW everyone - Happy New Year! :D

Great idea, especially the Gears 1 part :)
im for gears 1, still need a load of cheeves
I will see if I can borrow Gears 1 from my nephew or get it cheap at a local store.
you should be able to get it cheap , let me know x
we play enough Gears 2, Gears 1 is the same game but you can't tag grenades.
I was thinking something we've probably all played SP but no MP.
Prey
Darkness
Frontlines
Lost Planet
Unreal Tournament 3
FEAR
Turok
Perfect Dark Zero
Stranglehold
Red Faction Geurilla
I avoided games like Bad Company, Gears and PGR3 because they have sequels we could play instead. All games above are around the 5 mark to buy $ or £.

I've got Unreal Tournament 3, I can get FEAR, always liked that game, I only have the Colonies version of Lost Planet which doesn't carry over my online level from the standard version :( still need to get the standard version again.
The Darkness is crap online but you can boost for all the achievements, same goes for Perfect Dark Zero, always a good thing. :)
i have none of the above games :'(

Bold for those in my current collection. Some of the others, if they're on the cheap, I'd be interested in hitting up at some point.
You can count me in for BF:BC2 on the 21st. :)
As for the retro theme, I would join a Gears 1 gamenight just out of curiosity. I still haven't ever played an online match. Gears was the 2nd time game I tried on Live and I quickly learned newbies were unwelcome. Gave up after trying to join a dozen games.
And, as recently as Nov, I still played Red Faction: Guerrilla weekly. :D
In fact, the recent official game night with the Volition devs was a lot of fun. I don't think there'll ever be that many people in matchmaking lobbies ever again. I'm a little weary of that game now, but I'd happily join if you need some warm bodies to frag.

I have prey and darkness, they are super cheap so we could get you a copy of them too vicki. I would also be willing to buy two copies of some of the others too, they really are cheap as chips now. great idea!
Great turn out Friday, let's keep this up and i'll be a happy Failed!! :-*
i will always try to attend, if i have the game, if not will p chat, and of course it depends on work x
As long as I can escape work early enough, I will be there for most of them.
If anyone would like games changing for Febuary, let me now, i was thinking of swapping in a Call of Duty for one of those games!
I'd be up for a bit of Blops, Need to get my money's worth somehow.
GAME NIGHT EDITS due to me making some errors and posting certain nights earlier.
These 2 have been swapped around, BC2 is no the end of the month and RDR next week.
NOW
21st Red Dead Redemption
28th Bad Company 2
I Posted Gears 2 for this Saturday instead of RDR so now it's;
15th Gears 2
29th Red Dead Redemption
your fired lol
oh ok! someone else can do it then #)
Way to go, fizz. You've angered the volcano god, Failed.

I'll be breaking the bank and picking up a new mic on monday on my way back from the jobcenter in preperation for this friday. RDR is where I let my skills shine through. If we play Undead Overrun I don't think any of you stand a chance. I've never come anywhere but first place in it and never with less than triple the next highest score. Good luck : D
i don't have zombies as i don't like RDR, but we can play some normal games, grab bag or whatver ... im not too sure as i dont play it, so will probably have a trial run sometime in the week.

I'm a noob at Overrun. I wasn't aware players competed, I thought it was like Horde / Firefight. Maybe I played something different. Is there more than 1 zombie multiplayer game type?
Well it's not technically competitive I guess, there is a scoreboard and everything at the end of the match and whatnot. But I played a few games with random people where we've decided to go all out and see who's best and ... I am :D
Oh ok. Great. The better you do, the more points we all get, right? I'm on your team! ;D
It's more of a free for all thing in Overrun I'm pretty sure. We have to all work as a team to survive (unless you're me, obviously) but you only get what points you make for yourself.
haha! you sound like someone i know .... hmmm
Atleast no one will have to worry about reviving you :P
Oh no, I'll have to be revived a few times. But that's ok because WE'RE A TEAM! I hope ._.
Honest. We are ... WE ARE!
Quote from: Legion on January 17, 2011, 08:03:27 PM
Honest. We are ... WE ARE!
Good to know. I'm going to need you to revive me roughly 19 times each match. ;D
How do you think I manage to get such high scores? I don't revive people. I kill zombies and laugh at the people who die.
I mean, sure, yeah, I'll revive you as many times as you need, because we're a team :D

I gave him back RDR because I didn't really like it that much. I am going to borrow it again for Friday. I still have one of his copies of Halo Reach and I have his only copy of Gears of War 2. I did warn him he won't get Halo or Gears back. *grin* C
Well if he has more than one copy of something he shouldn't begrudge you stealing/really long term borrowing it anyway. Unless the one you leave him with breaks for whatever reason ;D
He is ok with it. He can always walk down the street to my house and get any of them back if he wants to play them. Plus I think he used gift cards I gave him for most of the games he owns.
i 'perma-borrow' most of my games too! ;D
