@UNFORGIVINGPAIN, in Jade Empire be sure to play through the shooter missions all the way through, there's an interesting story development when you finish all of them.

Thanks for the tip. I will keep that in mind when I play it through. Which will most likely be after I finish Godfather: Blackhand Edition on the Wii.

I started playing the Command and Conquer 3 demo on the Xbox 360. It was fun but I had to go do something else after the first campaign. I've not played C&C for a long time, not since Tiberium Sun (?). I think it's good that it's like the originals (As far as I can remember) but with upgraded graphics. The first campaign was quite easy. I assume they get harder as you go along.

I liked the C&C3 demo as well.

Speaking as an RTS noob, it was very straightforward and the tutorial mode and tutorial battle made it easy to get into.

I didn't try the 2 demo battles, though.

More Crackdown. I have 30 of the 43 achievements. I should be able to get 5-8 more with little trouble.

Damn! You've been rolling with this game! I'm way behind you...

Just curious. Did you get the one where you shoot out 20 tires on gang member cars in 60 seconds or less?

A lot of 32x recently. Mortal Kombat II (I still like the snes one the best though), Virtua Fighter, RBI Baseball '95, and Knuckles Chaotix.

Played some Burnout Revenge (360) and Nightcaster.

Nightcaster on the xbox? How is that game?

Sort of like a "Lite" version of one of the Dark alliance games. It has a nice control setup and the gameplay is laid back and easy if a bit repetitive.

The best way I could describe the control style is a third person isometric dungeon crawler where you have the choice of having your staff "separate" and float freely around you with the right thumbstick while you move with the left, or have the staff in one piece and play like a conventional 3rd person action/adventure.
