I've heard that Fable II has internet content - I guess you open some treasure chests and insted of giving you an item they give you a URL, which you then surf to, play another little game, and then get a unique prize, which you will have the next time you log in to FAble II on the Xbox.
Rock Band also has crossover stuff between Xbox and internet.
Are these just for Xbox owners? Do the other consoles do the same sorts of things? Do other games do this?
The Wii keeps asking me if I want to log-on to the internet but I keep saying no.
amych, the alchemy garden from the Frostcrag Spire add-on would be much cooler.
the physically aggressive plants might be hard to find, though, so perhaps venus flytraps instead of harrada?
(also, for a true Oblivion garden, put in some pitcher plants and then ignore them.)
After a great many hours playing the latest GTA, I'm pleased to report I've completed 25% of the game.

I've never played this. Does that mean you've stolen 25% of a car?

I've gone back to play older video games and been a little startled at how quickly they can be completed. I think length of game play has steadily been getting longer, to the point that we mostly only notice when we go back to older games.
Am reminded of this, that I read just yesterday: In Praise of the Three-Hour Game
40 hours for the average game? Huh. Wow. I really do suck. No clue how long it's taken me to get through Assassins Creed, but I'd venture to say more than 40 hours. Eh, I have fun, that's what matters.
Assassin's Creed takes way less than 40 hours if your goal is just to finish the game and not find all the flags and kill all the Templars. I think it took me 14 or 15 hours, maybe 20 at the most. But that was playing till 5 or 6 in the morning for three nights straight.
God knows how much time I've got into Dungeon Siege II , but Hubby pointed out that I missed half the secondary quests in Act I, so I'll have to do it over. Oh, well, gosh darn. Killing pixels is fun.
