The gaming diary

[Tan]

Doing my yearly playthrough of Jedi Outcast, one of those games I tend to beat every year or so like LttP that never seems to get old. Beat Sonic Chronicles a few days ago, great game, filled that new game gap between the wait for the new holiday releases.

Also playing a lot of Age of Empires III lately, my home city of St. Petersburg is at lvl 30 now. I really should go and pick up the two expansions for it.

Offline multiplayer system link with den and the gang on Friday night. Tried  the Age of Booty trial game (we played a 3 player-game variant early on that didn't get enough positive feedback), Halo 3, and GRAW.

CoD3 didn't work this time, unfortunately .

Why not?

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Being able to explore Hogwarts is pretty fun and the reason why I bought this game.

Why not?

That's a big mystery. We thought it would be ok, because it worked the last time we played it at Den's house (his Elite 360 and my Premium) using a platinum hits version of CoD3 and an original copy.

On Friday, we used my Premium 360 and our friend Jeff's Elite 360 and it didn't work. We tried using the original copies in both consoles and it still didn't work (where it worked previously when we hooked up to 2 Premiums, mine and our friend Ray's).

The only conclusion we came up with was that Jeff and I haven't played against each other online yet, so our consoles haven't "talked" to each other to know that the game should work in multiplayer on each console.

I know. It doesn't make sense. System link should work offline regardless of console or version of the game. However, it seems to be hit or miss at this time.

Strange.

Lol, your consoles need have a little chatter before allowing you guys to play in system link


Finished the Hard 4WD championship on Colin Mcrae Rally 04 but didn't win. It was very strange, the first 4 rallies were supereasy (which I won) but after that I wasn't able to win a single one anymore.

Anyway, I'm leaving it like this because there's too many unplayed games waiting in line.

Played some Zombie Panic! not as fun as regular Z-Mod on CS:S

Completed Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

The ending was hilarious.

Played some Fable II last night. So far I'm liking it.

[Sirgin]

More Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it's quite fun.

[phoenix1967]

Tested my recently purchased used copies of RS:Vegas and Assassin's Creed, both worked fine.

Played more Fable II.

Been hanging out in the Arcade. I don't have any systems set up so the site is a good distraction when i have some free time
