XBL Game Room update for May 26th:

Boxing (Intellivision)
Buzz Bombers
Haunted House :D
Millipede
RIVER RAID :D :D :D

I'm glad I'm using my $300 borderline supercomputer capable of some of the most advanced graphics and physics processing in the world to play 30-year-old 4K ROMs.

It annoys me that they are releasing multiple versions of the same game. We will now have 2x Millipede and 2x Asteroids.

I currently own: Pitfall, Tempest, Centipede, Mega Zone, Super Breakout and Asteroids Deluxe.

Admitting it's early in the game and I didn't look in my strat guide, but anyone have any ideas how to capture the target of a bounty mission in RDR without killing him? Bringing him in alive doubles the reward, but so far I've been forced to kill them.

Shoot him in the legs (instead of head/chest), and then use your lasso and hogtie him. Then bring him to the sheriff in Armadillo. You can also shoot the gun out of his hand if hes still attacking you.

If you don't have the lasso yet, do more missions for Bonnie until she gives it to you.

I find that killing them is generally easier though since they always have a posse of dudes that are more than eager to kill you.

Also, for those of you who have/are waiting to attack Fort Mercier, once you take care of business there initially with the gatling gun, there's one more mission that will pop up there later on that's more than worth doing. I only stumbled upon this after riding past it again on my way back to Mexico. Made the trip very well worthwhile.

Kill the posse first. The bounty is always marked via a special marker on the mini-map, so its easy to avoid killing him in most situations.

Although the last one I did happened to jump on his horse and run when he was the last one. His horse was faster than mine over bad terrain, so it took me literally 15 minutes to catch him. I ended up shooting him and his horse dead.

Broken stick on the ice?

Are the commentators in the game Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond too? :D

Waiting for GLM's update on RDR - I'm picking mine up on the way home from whichever Target I stop at first and has it - I didn't pre-order :o

Hope I can check it out tonight still. I have a guy coming over to review possible deck plans for the house. I also have a standing 9-ish "play date" for MW2 with friends each night. I'm super close to my fourth prestige.

I'd LOVE to see Broken Sticks. As long as they don't break after every third shot. That'd be too realistic. :D :p

Looks like it'll be in there. Also, it appears that the inclusion of the CHL is confirmed and it'll have all actual players as well.

Your move, NCAA.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

Finally remembered how to hit the direction-changer swirls on Yars. I could top the leaderboard if I wanted. I've been playing that game since I was literally 3 years old. That game is my farking Atari birthright.

Key to the game is hitting the swirl out of midair. 6000 points and an extra life every time you pull it off adds up pretty darn quick. Plus you don't have to worry as much about taking down the shield, so you can just concentrate on dodging the little bullet.

Computer cheats on Heisman. 21 for 21, 400 yards, 4 TDs....Fresno State QB.

I still win though.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread V: Collector's Edition

I should finish up Lego Indiana Jones 2 today. I only have to beat the 5 story missions for each level in quick play mode to get the last 2 achievements. Otherwise everything else is at 100%.

Glad I bought a used copy on Friday. That way I can trade it back in towards Lego Harry Potter. Which if any good is one i'll keep. I also kept the Star Wars one.

Did you just magically re-appear? :confused: :D

I suck at defense when playing NCAA games. So I always win games like 62-45. Unless I play purely a run game to control the clock. Then I can win 35-14 or so.
