Chris,

I would think those headphones would be nice if you can't sleep and you want to play a game in the wee hours of the morning and don't want to wake the family.

'Ya know. Crank it up and not have the sound bother anyone.

I think this is multi-player... want to co-op ?

I have never played a single game on the PS3 in multiplayer and I would need to recharge my earpiece/mic to communicate but this game would seriously be 'mo funner' with a buddy.

Completed the game this morning, the last level is a bit mad with tons of zombies. On the down side the game is very short with 9 or 10 levels, but there has been talk of a dlc

. The on-line co-op is cool let me know your gamertag

Do you have one of those nifty, immerse X-Box Live headphones that are out there? I saw one at Best Buy made by Turtle Beach that looked pretty cool.
Yes I do... I have the Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 headphones w/ mic. I highly recommend them. I hardly ever play any multiplayer games but when I have they worked great.

I have the same ones and would also highly recommend them. Great for console and/or PC gaming.

I really like the ability to control the sound levels of the game sound channel and the multiplayer voice channel seperately.

I wouldn't mind having the wireless headphones but the quality can be very 'iffy' at times.

Ah, I just assumed they were all wireless. How long is the cable and where do plug it into on the 360?

The cable is 16ft long and is powered by (and plugged into) the USB port on the front of your Xbox 360. I have the 'line in' jack plugged into my HDTV for great stereo sound.

The non-wireless sets are pretty cheap these days pricing in at around $40.

Did I just hallucinate or was that really an ad for Duke Nukem Forever?

Yeah, after all these years it's finally going to be out tomorrow. Sad part is the reviews are pretty bad so far.

As psyched as I am about it coming out, I do not think it can live up to the old days.

Honestly looking at video games today, I am a very difficult player to impress. He'll, I have had more fun on Sketchbook on my iPad with Alyssa than ANY game I have played of late.

Players expectations are much higher now thanks to a lot of amazing games. Reminds of what happened with Perfect Dark Zero. The time between the original and the sequel was so long that the game looked and played like a last gen game when it finally came out.

I would have liked the wireless ones too but they are at least double the price and the quality can be dodgy.

Anyone played The Darkness? It's only $4.99 used at my local GameStop.

Playing through at the moment:

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy)

Infamous 2 is pretty freaking great.

The Darkness. It's a pretty fun game. Even on the Easy setting it has been a challenge.

I've been playing a lot of Duke Nukem Forever. I honestly don't think the game is anywhere near as bad as the reviews have been saying. It's a bit harder than I care for my games to be (and vulgar), but it's a solid game and pretty fun once you get going.

Dude you cant buy a Duke Nukem game and then call it vulgar, it's a given!

Glad it ain't too bad, will grab it when it gets cheap.

Indeed. Duke Nukem? Vulgar? You mean the game where, in Zero Hour, he dropped into a strip joint called the Beaver Hutch and went "feels clammy in here...what a tight squeeze"? The game where you rescue half naked "babes?" Where guts and gore is par for the course?

I've missed Duke.

Well, the thing is that I guess I don't remember the old Dukes well enough. I remember it being gory, but not that vulgar. I only played the side scrollers and the first Duke FPS, though, so maybe they changed (or maybe I'm old with a bad memory)? The vulgarity doesn't bother me, though, it just kind of threw me for a sec... he's got a real potty-mouth.

I have no doubt if you wait a month or two, you will be able to get this game on the cheap. Assuming your system's version isn't plagued with bugs, it's a totally passable game and a pretty good Duke game.

There's no "half naked babes" now... they went full monty on this one.

Guts and gore are what made these old FPS games. That was the only thing I was expecting.
