Gta4

[FrostyBoy]

Sorry, when I said other games, I meant the trial games that come with the box. I have yet to buy another game, GTAIV is enough for me.

But I am looking for a good multiplayer one I can play with my girlfriend, she likes those easy but fun to play and look at kind.

1 more question, the wireless adapter is quite expensive ($120), my router is upstairs, and sending a wire up there is not going to happen. So how else can I connect to the internet? Can I connect the XBox to my PC and route the internet through there?

Just bridge your wireless network connection and LAN connection on your computer and connect it to the 360 with a ethernet cable. That is how I have my 360 connected, it works fine.

Once you get it connected you'll find a ton of other demos online. Also be sure to check out the Xbox Live Arcade games -- especially for playing with the girlfriend. I've had a ton of fun with my SO playing arcade games co-operatively (and versus)...like Assault Heroes 2.

I bought myself an XBox 360 so I can join the fuss.

I knew you'd have to bring yourself down to our level in the end.

As suggested there are a few decent arcade co-op games, like Contra.

Best co-op game I've played is Gears of War, which has great 2 player co-op.

Yes. You'll be horrified to know that I splattered three fat Hasidic Jews who were unwisely holding some sort of pow wow in the middle of the arch near the park in central Broker. How were they to know that it was my planned escape route from a drug deal gone bad? Oy vey! It was a nice sideways sliding splat as well.

They don't even drop more money than the other ethnicities in the game. Realistic my ass.

arch near the park? Thats got to be Grand Army Plaza near Prospect Park. Which is middle of yuppie country, nearest Hasidic neighborhood is over a mile away. I'm assuming the game did not include the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, nor the limits on auto traffic through the Park on weekends. Still, sounds like they have at least SOME sense for New York.

I'm so pissed off they didn't dedicate resources to rendering the inside and outside of the Brooklyn Public Library.

lotm, if i'm not wrong, the developers are actually located in New York.

Rockstar hails from the UK...

even I knew that, though theyve got studios in different places, GTA is from the (original?) studio in the UK, isnt it?

[FrostyBoy]

Yes, hails from the UK, (blue logo, the original developers of GTA) but the developers for GTAIV are based in New York. They are known as Rockstar NYC (yellow logo)

Uhhh...no.

GTA4 was developed by Rockstar North, which is in Scotland.

All these Rockstar's are confusing me, so the headquaters is in NYC but the developers are in Scotland? I remember reading somewhere that the office in NYC was assisting in the development of GTAIV (which would make some sense).

They have many studios...there's a Rockstar Vancouver and a Rockstar Toronto too.

It's my understanding that there's actually no game development done in Rockstar NYC -- it's a corporate HQ is all. It's where the suits work.
