Just Cause 2 players: look at this!

USB Memory Support for the Xbox 360 coming April 6th - Xbox Live's Major Nelson

Oh hell, I just got a 512mb Xbox Memory Card for it not too long ago. Time to put the 16gb flash disk to use.

I figured if I put it down at the lowest res and just run it in a small window, the trade-off would suit me. It usually results in smoother-running games.

I also probably need to switch off all the transparency in W7. Would I be right in thinking the computer still does some processing on the desktop, even if you're running something fullscreen on top of it? Or does it only use resources if it's actually rendering the desktop on the screen?

PS. It's a Radeon HD3650

It's still having a think. For more demanding games, I close everything demanding using task manager, including explorer.exe (just have steam open first).

Just Cause 2 looks absolutely amazing.

Left 4 Dead 2 is pretty cool (although issues with the internet limit the fun).

On the last stretch with World of Goo (the epilogue), but it was pretty fun overall!

Braid is kicking my ass. Holy shit the timing and precision with this game is intense!

Loving the hell outta 'Just Cause 2'. I think it's the best open world game since 'Crackdown'. Also loving 'Tilt to Live' on the iPhone. It's pacifism mode on 'Geometry Wars 2', but better.

I just finished Assassin's creed story mode, and literally shat my brain out. The ending was so... surprising? Or at least I didn't expect it. Holy fuck, that team of writers must be smoking some pretty strong shit. I did really like the story and gameplay, and felt it much improved upon its' predecessor.

Bleh that game was too fucking hyped for the piece of shit it is... I am playing the game myself and I have said this on this thread before good idea but same shitty repetitive game-play. I am not even paying attention to the story anymore I listen to KATG or music as I play. I just have that weird fucking OCD that once I start playing a game I must finish it...

My brother currently got me The Club for the PS3... The store he got is from wants my Virtua Fighter 5 game... I do not know why in the world they would want that, hell I have it there and never played it myself to me the Virtua Fighter series is the worst fighting series I have ever played. I had more fun playing Clay Fighter 63 1/2 on the N64.

Anyways I haven't even inserted The Club. Is the game worth it? I know it should at least be worth the trade off, it can't be shittier than Virtua Fighter

I could not agree more about AC2. That game was sooooooooo slooooooooow for like 99% of it. Then the ending was fucking incredible. Crazy!

Games I Bought because i played them when they got out and i want to have that fresh feeling again and trick myself into feeling less old and Steam knows that

Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion: you can worship your sillygoose Dragon Age as long as you want. THIS was and still IS the ultimate open world RPG. So damn cool, atmospheric and absorbing. Still sucks me in.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: I like it. It's basically an FPS with a fantasy theme but whatever, it's fun. Read recenly a review that described it as "Half Life 2" with "Deus-Ex" character development and a fantasy theme. Weirdly enough, the guy wanted to state a negative but convinced me in buyin it.

Checkin' out Overlord. Semmed fun at the time but with a quite hideous control scheme. Hmm.

On another side, i got Bookworm Adventures. Pop Cap should be declared illegal. They're dangerous people.
