IGN gave Assassin's Creed what they call a "good" review. 7.7 out of 10 on the 360 and 7.5 on the PS3.  Worth $60 I don't know, I will have to rent it and form my own opinion on it.

1. song?  also, was the background song original or a sample?  i swear i've heard it before.
2. damn, did you do the fade in and out and in and out scenes near the end?  that's sick.
3. through all my searching for the one in the commercial, there were a lot of user videos.  this one wins.

[ECN]

i added the song myself...there was no background.

i mixed about 5 videos into that one.

song is, angel by massive attack again.

i mean, did massive attack sample that song?  sounds familiar, maybe it's the same song i'm thinking of.

[ECN]

It's the theme song to "House."  At least the first 16 bars are used as the intro.

edit: assuming the first video song is what you are talking about as familiar.

That's it!  Saw it like a month ago.

Stay was a gawd awful movie.

Gawd.
Awful.

Assassins creed is pretty sweet.  I'm not done with it yet, but to me it is looking like a rental.  Really good game, but could probably be beat in about a week with not too much replay.

[ksuno1stunner]

Yea, it's sick, I don't really do the missions though, I just run around, climb crap, and cut some ******s up.  I love stabbing my horse.  It's like GTA.

Does raping medieval prostitutes give you health?

picking up my reserved copy of Rock Band today

[ECN]

is it easy to play that lil guitar with those massive mitts?

[pissclams]

i haven't had any problems.  the guitar for Rock Band is darn near the normal size.
on GH2's guitar I can play it on Hard, never got good enough for expert.  It's going to be my bass for Rock Band though (probably).

[ChicagoCat]

I'm curious on rock band.  Say I have zero interest in playing drums or singing, still a solid pickup just for guitar play?

picking up my reserved copy of Rock Band today

I used my lunch break to get mine and unpack everything.  It was like Christmas, except my parents never got me drums.

I'm not sure if I'll like the new guitar yet; the strum has no click to it, so it feels mushy.

If you have a GH guitar already, you can look at this as GH4, with a better career mode and more downloadable songs.

I wouldn't.  GH3 is pretty much the top of the mountain for just guitar play right now. As a matter of fact, having played the Rock Band guitar/demo, I can safely say that the guitar isn't as fun to play as in GH3/2.  What makes this game so much fun is the team/group based play.  It's going to be a blast on weekends with friends.

Nice.  Yeah Best Buy had the demo set up for a few weeks.  The guitar definately takes some getting used to, the strum bar actually is more sensitive than the GH3 one, and it takes some time to get used to it.  I think the game itself is actually easier than GH3.

[konofo]

I think the game itself is actually easier than GH3.

I wouldn't complain if you're right.  I'm still new to the series (bought GH3 before 2), but I'm stuck in that zone where I'm too good for Medium yet haven't been able to take that next step.  I watch people playing on Expert and .

kono

[pissclams]

the best way to go from medium to hard in gh2 is to use the practice mode set on Hard difficulty, and slow down the rhythm.  this will let you learn to use the orange button and get your hand used to that setting.  once you pick that up you will not have much of a prob moving to hard.   

[The Whale]

I tried out the drums for Rock Band at Best Buy -- that part of the game alone is enough to get me to buy it eventually.

Still don't have GH3 though.  I've pretty much mastered GH2 on medium and can pass the first 10 or so songs on hard, but can't even come close on expert.

[pissclams]

i can't even comprehend expert.

[The Whale]

On expert, I can consistently make it to about 92% on Mother.  Other than that song though I wind up around 25% on everything else. :

Trying to move down levels from expert or hard to medium really screws up timing though

[konofo]

So, today I discovered I have no hand/foot coordination whatsoever.  F*cking pedal.

kono

[pissclams]

haha, i had the exact smae thought myself tonight.  if it wasn't for the damn footpedal....
this game is going to be great to play when drinking.
