omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Depends if Pete remembers you called him adorable or not.

Oh, you are such a fusspot, MM. I'll let you team up with Omnis and you can use him as a meat-shield. He has a real talent for it.

Also, there are some good co-op shooters out there, y'know.

ETA: Yes, Omnis will always be first in line for a good fragging.

MM, go for the cock punch. It's now the official disciplinary action of Diablo Sound.

MM, you should pick up a used copy of Orange Box. Fun multiplayer shoot out. And easier. I actually killed Pete a few times.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Actually, a brand new copy of Orange Box only runs $20 on Amazon nowadays. It is astonishingly good value as it has the main Half Life 2 game and the follow up episodes 1 & 2. It has Portal and it has Team Fortress 2 which is the multiplayer game Omnis is referring to.

Given that TF2 has 8 character classes, you can pretty much find a class that suits your style of play.

For other info, look in my Livejournal. I made a post about 360 games just a couple of days ago.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The cake is a lie!

If I ever played shooty games on the Xbox...but I am a child of keyboard/mouse FPS.

We played most of Resistance 2 on my brother's PS3 over Christmas. My husband complained a lot about not having a mouse.
