Getting both
Soul Calibur IV and
Geometry Wars 2 this week seems something like an embarrassment of riches. Truth be told, we have been nearly incapable of pulling ourselves away from
Geometry Wars 2. It has quite honestly impacted our work-flow around here. It is the sole reason why this edition of WRUP has arrived so late. Comparing an addicting game to crack is an overused metaphor to be sure, but we find ourselves with a single metaphor that's more apt.
Geomery Wars 2 is a helluva drug.
What will your drug of choice be this weekend?

Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard

I've been so close to buying that game. Your post just convinced me to do it. Congratulations, you talked me into wasting 60 more dollars :)

It's hard for me to spend 60 bucks on games these days. I use to drop it in a second, but I'm getting older, and I think that's stopping me.
Anyway. My launch day 360 just got the red rings of death a couple days ago. Luckily MS is still willing to fix it for free. Just sent it in yesterday, so I have a couple Xboxless weeks ahead. I'll probably pass the time with Pokemon Pearl and maybe some Patapon on my PSP. Things that rhyme with P FTW!

More Bad Company and trying to get my clan back into Call of Duty 4. BF:BC is a fine multiplayer game, but if you want to play with more than one other friend, good luck.
I'm also trying to track down a Blockbuster copy of Unreal Tournament 3.
Besides XBLA games, nothing will really pique my interest until September 30th.. (Silent Hill)

I would like to know as well. Although it looks like both leaderboards are at 250 users.

I was going to ask the same thing...why do they limit it to 250?

Nooooo! Why did I lend out my 360 controller to my mate this week. I guess I'll have to wait a while to get this little beauty.

Ironic metaphor there Richard, given that Geo Wars 2 seems like one of the best suited games to play while chemically enhanced.
Anyway, I'll be tucking into that, grinding through Lost Odyssey, and conquering the world in Civ Rev. Maybe a touch of Burnout Paradise and/or GRID to fulfill my driving game needs.

I just got into the Battlefield Heroes Beta, so I might try that out. Also am going to my buddy's house to do some Geo Wars 2 and Soul Calibur 4 Multiplayer. :)
BTW - how do you get up on that X3F leaderboard?
