New X-Men game comes out tomorrow.

Role playing game, you get to pick four X-Men to whoop ass all over nerds and Magneto and whoever else wants to be gay.

I'll be in line tomorrow to get it (and Hilary Duff's new CD too!)

And then my life will lost to my X-Box.

X-Men on the X-Box. Who's the nerd now!

so the game doesn't actually come out until Thursday now. Bastards

And Gunna, Hilary Duff's CD comes out next Tuesday, but I know that you already have a copy of it reserved at your local Best Buy.

Just like how Buzzman is still in mourning ever since Britney Spears got married. Notice that he hasn't posted at all since her wedding? Coincidence? I think not. Poor Buzz is heart-broken. But don't worry Buzz, I doubt she'll be celebrating her one year anniversary.

And there is always Christina Aguilerra. :twisted:

Ha ha I picked up my copy today! Its pretty cool a little odd to get used to but all in all a good game! Once you get access to the mansion go play trivia for xp its hella easy stuff and is thus an easy way to build your early lvls.

Overall the graphics/art could have used a bit more work. Wolverine as well as all the others don't look nearly as nice as they do in the cartoons, comics, or past games.

All in all I give this game a solid B+ to start with. Definitely worth the 50 bucks which is something I don't say too often these days. Now if you excuse me I gotta get back to playing!

Yeah, i bought it yesterday, played it for a few hours last night. As far as the trivia game goes, there are about 25 questions, I missed three. Not bad, but I felt like a HUGE nerd while I was taking it and getting all of those answers right.

Thank God for weekends, because this is definitely going to be an X-Men weekend.

and the Danger room is a ton of fun - it's like playing training missions, but you get experience and special prizes as you go.

I might start the game over today, knowing now what I do, I think I could do the first few hours of the game a lot better.

Can't wait to play this as a multiplayer against some of you guys. Not only is there multiplayer support for the regular game, but it also has games like king od the hill and other Halo-type games for hours of fun.

Too bad it doesn't support X-Box Live

OK, I am a huge nerd...

I have already put 15 hours into this game. I got goosbumps when Magma was asked to join the X-Men, because I felt like I was joining them (that's the whole point of having Alison as a new character, she is like the player, new to the game, new to this world). Huge nerd!

Best part of the game so far is when Iceman was talking about how nervous he and the rest of the X-Men are about Magneto being free. He says something like "Even Wolverine is on edge. This morning, I ate the last ice cream sandwich, and he said he was going to tear out my heart and eat it in front of me" when usually all he says is he's going to tear out my heart. I was rolling with laughter.

This game makes me feel like the coolest nerd around.

23 hours into the game.

I've saved the city a few times, whopped up on the Astral Plane, and even met little Bishop.

I have unlocked all but one player, not sure who it is, but I know I'll find out tomorrow, when I play for another 10 hours.

Meh!

no, no X-Box live yet, haven't found a game that I wanted to play online yet against others.

Is it worth the $50?

It's not so bad. You get downloadable levels and what not that make the game interesting. The communicator function is cool because you can talk smack all the time, but sometimes it gets annoying.

I have the plan at like 6$ per month because I was trying it out, so if you put it that way yeah it's worth 50 for the year. I haven't played anything in a while but PGR2, Pandora Tomarrow, and GP2 are solid online games.

Hell Yeah!
