Well, the demo he hacked was obviously not the final, plus I don't remember hearing how it was the most current up to date demo they had with them at the time.

The choices were slim but great, but yeah nowadays it's just ridiculous to complain about XBL.

err.. those weren't really the games i was expecting to see in XBL's pre-RS3 defense.. :p

aside from motoGP 2, the 2 other games you listed are poo.

i'd expect someone to cry wolfenstein, but i didn't like that much either.

The comment about Castlevania is harsh but true. I slogged through it for 6 hours for whatever reason. The bosses were cool though.

It was the entire source code off the lead developer's computer, you don't think it was up to date? It obviously wasn't the final because the game wasn't finished, which was his whole point.

I really liked Castlevania =(

It was as good in 3D as I could have hoped and I think I could get my fill of 2D Castlevania on GBA.

Another: Blizzard's formerly awesome customer support now blows. They haven't patched the hideously unbalanced Warcraft 3 since August (though they promise the patch is coming soon), and the 1.10 patch for Diablo 2 finally fucking came out... after two years.

This is not the same company that earned the reputation they're now killing.

Maybe it's because I have no interest in playing the games people always complain about, but I only own five games that can go online on my PS2 (three out of that five are Tony Hawk games), yet I am extremely satisfied with it.

1. Nintendo GameCube.

:lol: And the hits just keep on coming.

SoFII is still the best shooter on Live (Most people stopped thanks to CS though) and if you don't like Tetris then sucks for you.

Wolfenstein was an awful port. An awful, awful port.

And yes, the worst thing of the year (Thing as in world event, beyond video games) was the Gamecube.
