They didn't care with MechAssault. I think they launched that game in the same quarter as eight other Mech games. I guess now that it's worth a damn they want less competition, maybe MechAssault is going to become a serious IP for Microsoft.

If that's the case, they should just merge the MechWarrior and MechAssault games. MechAssault was purposefully simplistic, with MechAssault 2 moving forward a bit. If MechAssault 3 is like MechWarrior then people will see it as a huge leap forward for the series, and it would make a lot of PC gamers happy.

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO SEE THEM TAKE 'MECHASSAULT' TO THE NEXT LEVEL, AND MAKE IT LIKE 'MECHWARRIOR' AND 'STEEL BATTALION' (WHICH I'D SAY IS A DEAD FRANCHISE, BECAUSE OF THE STUPID $200 PRICETAG). A GREAT MECH GAME NEEDS TO HAVE A COCKPIT VIEW, A COMMAND SYSTEM, AND THE ABILITY TO TARGET SPECIFIC PARTS OF AN ENEMY MECH.

AS FOR 'CRIMSON SKIES', THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RHYME OR REASON FOR 1.) NOT MAKING IT BC , AND 2.) NOT HAVING A SEQUEL READY FOR THE LAUNCH WINDOW. THAT GAME HAD THE SINGLE LONGEST RUN ON 'LIVE' THAN ANY IN HISTORY, AND WAS A TOP SELLER.

The Crimson Skies team decided that they'd like to make their own company altogether. Now they're an independent studio called "AirTight Games". Why haven't we heard from them? They're probably looking for a publisher.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID!

Then why are you spending $96 a year instead of $49.99?

I'm sure that's doing wonders for your budget.

I'm fully aware that Oblivion isn't online. That doesn't mean the friggin' rental store doesn't have something.

OUR 'BLOCKBUSTER' AND 'MOVIE GALLERY' STORES DON'T CARRY '360' GAMES. I'D HAVE TO GO WITH 'GAMEFLY' IF I WANTED TO RENT ONE. :down

BTW, FOR 'LIVE' PLAY, I HAVE:

'FIGHT NIGHT:ROUND 3'
'COLLEGE HOOPS 2K6'
'PERFECT DARK ZERO'
'NEED FOR SPEED: MOST WANTED'
'CALL OF DUTY 2'
'FAR CRY INSTINCTS: PREDATOR'
'KAMEO' (NEW CO-OP MODE)

MY GAMERTAG IS THWIP71; SEND ME A FRIEND REQUEST. :up:

I ALSO HAVE 'CONDEMNED:CRIMINAL ORIGINS', 'OBLIVION', AND 'KING KONG'.

Because I couldn't afford 50 Dollars when I signed up for Live. $7.99 was the best I could do at that time and it's working just fine with my other financial obligations(rent is paid at the beginning of the month, while my phone, credit card, and Xbox Live account are paid in the middle of the month).

I may change my current plan to $49.99, so that my Live account is paid for a year. It all depends on whether or not I'm going to continue with it in the next few months.

Which of those do you play the most? I'll send you a request tonight. I'm AUTOMAIL 4 SALE.

NO. OBVIOUSLY, IF THERE WERE ANOTHER RENTAL VENUE NEAR ME THAT HAD '360' GAMES, I'D HAVE MENTIONED IT.

When you're on an entry level salary and are paying almost 1300k a month, there aren't many options.

WELL, I HAVEN'T PLAYED ANY OF THEM ON 'LIVE' YET, BECAUSE I'M WAITING ON MY MEXICAN HOMRE, 'GAMMY' TO GET HIS '360'. BUT, I PLAY THE HELL OUT OF 'FNR3' AND 'COLLEGE HOOPS 2K6'; I'D LOVE TO TRY 'FNR3' ON 'LIVE', JUST SO I'LL KNOW HOW IT IS. :up:

Truth be told, I tried 47 other ones that were already taken. I tried comic references, obscure references, and ever other Fullmetal Alchemist reference I could think of. This one worked, so eh.

1000k is about how much rent cost around here, no matter where you look.

YES THERE ARE......IT'S SIMPLE ECONOMICS. LIKE 'GUITARSINGERGUY' POINTED OUT, YOU'RE THROWING AWAY $46.00. IT'S ONE THING TO PAY THE $7.99 BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SURE YOU'LL LIKE 'LIVE', OR UNTIL YOU CAN SAVE UP $50.00; IT'S ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY TO JUST PISS AWAY $$ THAT COULD GO TOWARD A GAME.......OR SOME FOOD.

THANKS.....BUT IT'S KIND OF AN INSULT, TO SUGGEST I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO RESEARCH/EXPLORE WHERE TO RENT GAMES IN MY TOWN/LOCALE. I'M 34 Y.O., FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD.

No, I think you missed my point. K stands for 1000. Therefore, if your rent is $1000 it would be 1K. That equals 1000. For 1300 you would say 1.3K.

Not to mention, you're THWIP. I don't get insulted when you're an ass. It's just how you are. It's funny anyway.

But as I said in my other post, I didn't have 50 dollars when I signed up for Xbox Live.

If you can lend me $50 then I'm all for it.(j/k)

I did say that I will probably switch to $49.99 for a year if I decide to keep using Live.

I get paid this week so we'll see what happens.
