Is 'The Lost and Damned' DLC live?
I thought that the 'The Lost and Damned' downloadable content was supposed to be available today for 'Grand Thefy Auto IV.' Am I wrong??
Still no 'GRID'I still don't have a copy of 'GRID' to play. Can anyone help?
I will have a copy of 'Battlefield: Bad Company,' later this evening.
Why don't we all go buy a copy of 'Battlefield' and try to forget about that other game... whatever it's called... 'GRIP,' 'GEAR,' 'GRIM'... whatever.
Thinking back on it, my PS3 HAS frozen a few times in the pastI don't know why I didn't think about this before.
I've had some major PS3 freeze-ups in the fast, just like the 'GTA' bugs.
Once, when installing the 'Motor Storm' updates and DLC, I couldn't get past the menu screen in the game. I had to delete all downloaded content and re-install everything from scratch (I didn't lose my saved games, they are in a separate file). That worked.
While playing the 'Home' beta, I would constantly freeze every time I would reach a certain doorway in the game. I deleted those data files, re-downloaded, re-installed and it was fixed.
And finally, when adding DLC to 'Warhawk,' the game locked up my whole PS3. Deletion of the files and a fresh install, again, fixed the problems.
The 'GTA' problems seem awfully similar to what I was going through. I just think the sheer number of copies bought, brought the problem to a lot more people.
The 360 issues, I'm at a loss there.
Now that 'GTA IV' is out, what's there to look forward to?Don't get me wrong, I'm not bored with 'Grand Theft Auto IV'... but I want to know what's next.
Seriously (or, um, SRSLY), what are you looking forward to, now?
For me:
• 'Iron Man'
• 'Lego Indiana Jones'
• 'Ninja Gaiden 2'
• 'GRID'
• 'Battlefield: Bad Company'

Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet (although I still have a sneaking suspicion that it will suck), Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Soul Calibur 4 (Yoda and Darth!), and first rumors of the Xbox 720 (yeah, I think we'll start hearing anonymous reports of the next console's specs by the end of the year).
Oh, duh, and Spore.
Which will almost certainly be a letdown after the years of hype, but still, I'm curious.
Anybody got cheese? Because I got lotsa whine.
I told you all about my 2nd incident with the Red Ring of Death about a month ago. I have to give Microsoft credit for being faster than I expected them to be, because I received the replacement machine before Xmas (a little over 1.5 weeks turnaround time). Just two weeks after receiving the refurbished machine, can you guess what happened? Yup..RROD!!!
I screamed at the customer rep and emphasized that this was the 3rd time I was going through this. He mentioned that he doesn’t believe it will happen to me again and asked that I return the power supply along with the console this time around. I'm expecting my replacement machine to come in sometime next week. *fingers crossed for a brand new console with HDMI*
What pushed me over the edge to whine about this again is that I just got a call from my little brother. His Xbox 360 just died.
Legs getting sore? 'Rock Band' drumming tips.
I've nearly died from the shin-splinting pain that the 'Rock Band' drum set has caused my legs. I even got a real drum throne to help with this... it helps, but not completely. I've been sore for days after a few hours of playing.
Wired magazine has some fantastic hints, directly from developer Harmonix, on how to alleviate the pain and ultimately make you a better 'Rock Band' drummer.
Thank you Wired!
I got 'Rock Band' replacement guitar #2 and...... it's an empty box.
Really, I got an empty box that contains a packing slip stating: "Rock Band Guitar, Quantity: 1."
'Rock Band' is now on the top of my "Most Hated Games of 2007" list.
Yes, I said "hate." My nieces would be so ashamed of me.
Oh, and the drum pedal gave me plantar fasciitis. Seriously.
VICTOR COMMENT: Dude, I, well, I don't know, that blows. And speaking of the drums, I'm beginning to suspect that the drums might be the least used peripheral of all time. Seriously, they're impossible to play, a pain in the... foot, and all you can hear while playing is the thwap sound of the sticks hitting the plastic case.

Well, I got my replacement guitar yesterday...LOVE the new strum bar, but the new buttons SUCK!!! They're so, 'clicky'...if there is such a word. And with my fast fingers, I feel like the buttons are too slow to 'pop' back up. If only I could rig my GHIII guitar with the new Rockband strumbar, I'd be set :)
My replacement 'Rock Band' guitar is a dud too!
I received my first replacement guitar for 'Rock Band' and after just a few minutes of "rocking," the tilt feature stopped working. I went through the whole process of connecting, re-connecting, turning on, turning off and re-praying. Nothing will fix it.
I ordered my second replacement, but the sad thing is... I had just put a $10 cool skull-covered skin on the newly broken guitar. Ta-da... I'm out 10 bucks.
I was a little shocked that the replacement controller comes in a thin cardboard box with the impact resistance of a piece of toilet paper. Does EA really think that holiday shippers are going to be gentle with these things?
I called EA... and, after a lot of whining, they gave me a $20 gift card to the EA store to accommodate my frustration (and whining).
What is up with these controllers? Even punchbutton's other non-blogger, Melcolm, had a faulty guitar.
I think it would have been cheaper to make a higher quality axe from the get-go.
Anyone else having problems?
Jeff Gerstmann's 'Kayne and Lynch' review.Here's the oft-mentioned "controversial" review that may, or may not, have had something to do with Jeff Gerstmann's firing from GameSpot.com.
Doesn't seem so bad to me.

I dont get it. I was about to buy this game without renting, because the commercial was so cool. Otherwise, I do exactly what jeff does here when I rent a game. I play it and then make an informed decision on whether or not this game is worth a hard earned 50 bucks. I appreciate what jeff did as a game reviewer, movie critics do not suck the teat of all movies and studios, so why should jeff. Apparently the game just isnt that good. Not the first shooter to fall into that category.
So is the Gamespot controversy dying down?
