Wassup fellow Live gamers,

If you haven't picked up Crimson Skies yet, what the hell are you waiting for, this game is all that. It should have much more mass appeal, than say Motogp2 and MidtownMadness3, which means we need to start a VGR Squadron, so we can go online and challenge other squads, or just make is easy to find cool people to play against.

I have the game and have been online, if you get in a cool room, its a lot of fun. That's the only problem if finding good rooms, but as more and more people buy the game, it should be easier.

Darwin also has the game, Glockstar, Tappy, Massimodo? Sound Off!

I have it! And I LOVE it!

And I'm only talking about the single player portion too!
I haven't been on Live with it yet.
But this is cool, TMG... now I know to look for you guys. :D

Hey, next week is Rainbow Six 3, right?
After playing the demo (that I got with my resv.) I have decided to buy this game. Next Wednesday!

See you on Live, eh!
(Though I doubt you'll see me! Myuh hah hah hah hahhh! ;) )

I picked up the game Thurs. It's a very good game so far. However, it's been a little hard for me to enjoy gaming the last several days. I am now in the process of looking for a new job. So, I may not be on Live that much for a while, nor will I know what my free-time schedule is like for a while. I'm going to aggressively pursue job offers this next week. Keep your fingers crossed.

Darwin,

Don't tell me this was because of that run-in you had with that a-hole doctor? I'm sorry to hear this news man and good look, hopefully it will all result in a better situation for you.

Yes, this was because of that. I documented what happened so I could tell my fellow pharmacists about it. I'll copy and paste a PM to you, so check your inbox here at VGR.

Sorry, but I gotta rent this one first....I absolutely DESPISE flight sims I've played in the past...Ace Combat 4 comes to mind as a game I HATED...you know, that game with the photorealistic ground until you get up close to it? CS:HRTR does look a helluva lot better than any other game of its type but like I said, I've gotta KNOW that it is worth me buying before I sink in.

Wow Tappy,

you are surprising, no MotoGP3, no MM3, and now possibly no Crimson Skies, it's not a racer, come on. Well, there is no harm in renting first, but this is the real deal, it's not like a real flight sim, I love or use to love real flight sims, and this is not even close. Its flight model is much more arcadey, there is no cockpit view, no guages, not even for speed. But the aerial moves are pretty real, you have your immelmans and split s, and rolls and a few more that can be pulled off using thumbstick buttons, but you can also do natural versions of those maneuvers which is cool by just using the normal flight controls. There is no radar locks, switching of weapons, each plane has two weapons and they don't change. Anyway, you'll see, the game is simple and fun, the single player campaign is actually really good, and the production quality of the game is really high, acting, voice acting, cut scenes, graphics, sound, all top shelf stuff. It really is one of the great XBOX games. I'd definitely put it a knotch below Halo and MotoGP2 my all time favorites. Anyway, what about R6, are u going to wait and see on that too?
Me, i'm at the store today.
