Another Week
I thought I'd have an Army of Two review for you all today, but instead when I played in a 6 hour Team Fortress 2 tourney on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, but I need a break from TF2 for a couple weeks now. That actually works out pretty well because I'm in a Rock Band Battle of the Bands so I need to spend some time practicing the Drums on Hard. If anyone has any tips for that let me know.
I almost was not going to be playing anything for the next 3 to 5 weeks because my Xbox 360 died on me yesterday. I got through the tutorial in Army of Two and the screen when white and the game froze. I restarted my Xbox 360 and I got the Red Ring of Death. I called up Microsoft and the guy in India who helped me said it would be 3 to 5 weeks once they ship me a box so I can send them my busted 360. However, since I have an HDTV now I convinced my wife to let me get an Arcade unit with the HDMI port since they are $280. Plus, the new Xbox 360 Arcade will give me additional 3 years of warranty. Then, when I get my old 360 back from repairs I'll sell it to help offset the cost of the new one. So, I was only out an Xbox 360 for most of the day yesterday, but I'm still pissed about it since it is going to cost me quite a bit of money to play these next 3 to 5 weeks...even with selling my old one to help offset the cost.
So, anyway I'll have an Army of Two review sometime soon.

RRoD! I feel for you, man. It really can happen to anyone. In your situation, I would probably do the same thing instead of sitting around for up to 5 weeks waiting for MS to send me a refurb console. Good, cheap way to get an HDMI 360 too.
As for Army of Two, I really like this game. Co-op shines but the single player experience is very good as well. Sure, I wanted to smash my controller in itty bitty pieces due to dieing at the end of a very protracted fire fight and not getting a checkpoint for my troubles. Kinda reminds me of Rainbow Six: Vegas!
p.s. feel like racing to see who get a AoT review up? Lol, who am I kidding? I have no blogging consistency.

I bought a 360 Arcade when my original 360 died(stupid one ring instead of three). I like it. It's quieter, cooler, less problems. Plus now I have two wireless controllers and that's always sweet!
