EA shut down a bunch of online servers again last week. Mostly sports games, but it still sucks that a lot of these games become unfinishable for those who want to get all the achievements/trophies. In the case of some, most of the fun is gone, like Army of Two being shut down, which focuses so much on multiplayer.

The other notable thing is most of the 10 sports games will be down by the beginning of October. Those were the last that didn't new an online pass for, which makes it unlikely to buy a fully playable used copy.

Closed as of 8/11/11:
Army of Two (PS3/360)
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (360)
Medal of Honor Airborne (PSP)
Medal of Honor Heroes 2 (PSP/Wii)
NASCAR 09 (PS3/360)
NCAA Basketball 10 (PS3/360)
Need for Speed Most Wanted (360)
Ned for Speed Undercover (PSP)
SKATE (PS3/360)
Tiger Woods 10 (PSP/PS3/360/Wii)

10/1/11
Madden 10 (PS3/360)
NHL 10 (PS3/360)

If you need to finish anything on Madden or NHL 10, you have a little more time. Didn't know the others shut down until it was too late. Closing NCAA Basketball 10 also means that there is no longer a NCAA Basketball game playable online.

I gamefly'd a second copy of Madden 10 so I could have a friend do the 3 co-op achievements and I can finish the game. Gotta get on that.

So...it's Dead Rising with more upskirt?

 

[AntiLeaf33]

With some No More Heroes mixed in as well.

 

[KingPK]

Well, Suda 51 is involved so you know it's going to be "wacky".

According to the PlayStation Blog, the NHL 12 demo will be out tomorrow.

That really is bullshit. I paid for an online pass for Madden 10 and only got 1 year out of it. Thats crap.

I can kind of sorta understand it in the movie/tv folder, but there are definitely comments made here that do NOT warrant a thread at all, but still kinda nice to talk about for a post or two. I understand why you guys are doing this, but I think they're necessary evils.

 

[Smues]

We're keeping this one open. This thread serves it's purpose, as it seems like this folder does a much better job of making topic threads out of things started in here.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Plus I know a guy who once got mad at me when I suggested eliminating these threads on TOTSM. Smues knows him too ^_-

 

[Smues]

(hmm who do I know?)
Was it me?

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Yep!

SMUES: IT WAS ME, VENK! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!

Anyone ever check out Seaman for the Dreamcast? I picked up a complete copy at 2nd and Charles last weekend for $4.50, and I now have two Seamans who are absolute smartasses.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Always wanted to play Seaman but just never owned it.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I was cleaning their tank tonight and asked one of the Seamen if he wanted to play. He sighed and told me to go play with myself.

 

[Master Thrasher]

Mine always died because I wouldn't take care of them.

 

[fazzle]

I always just fucked with the dreamcast clock so I could see what new smartass thing they were gonna say next

Ever since I got a new, better TV whenever I try to play Burnout Paradise I start getting motion sickness. It's the only game I have that does this. I don't know why that is. Anyone else have this problem with one specific game?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Twisted Metal 1 does/did that to me, and to a lesser extent, Twisted Metal 3. Twisted Metal 2 I had no problems with, though.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

To this day, I can't play Doom64. The moving corridors make me quite nauseated.

 

[Master Thrasher]

It was too dark for me even with the brightness turned up. I liked that they updated the looks of the monsters. Too bad you couldn't see them.

I don't know if we still have people who work at Best Buy here, but if we do... Is there a way anyone could be awesome enough to hook me up with a Mechanic Baird DLC code?

 

[Master Thrasher]

I played Castle Crashers for the first time in a long time and I got two avatar awards when the game started.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

YES! +1

I had a strange video game related dream last night. And seven words will tell the whole story.
