Just make a new profile I think, you can have multiple profiles on one machine.

usually takes 1-2 weeks...if you haven't received it after 2 weeks then give them a call.

anyone else downloaded the Stranglehold demo?

first few minutes i played it, i fucking hated the control, tequila looked stupid sliding on every table u run into..

but further u get into the demo, its crazy chaotic, u can literally blow up everything on the screen..

controls are slightly sloppy, but the game itself kicks ass.. it grew on me after finishing the demo

some cool aspects of the bullet time effect were improve on this game compared to Max Payne..

now i'll probably end up getting this on ps3 if the game supported all HD resolutions.. the ps3 version comes with Hard Boiled Blu Ray..

A lot of shooters are starting to suck on the PC now because they're made for crappy console controls.

i just picked up Marvel vs Capcom 2 for xbox on craiglist for a good $50.. thank god i didnt pay $80 which i was actually willing to..

anyways, i thought i picked up a bootleg copy or something cuz when i played this game on 360, the game itself was glitchy

well the gameplay is fine, its the character models that are glitchy and too pixelated..


i look it up the net and i felt such a relief that i didnt pick up a bootleg copy, the 360's BC update wasn't perfected for MvsC 2.. now i just hope they fix this problem....

is there any good arcade controllers that has come out?
i know they releasing a Virtua Fighter 5 arcade stick when the 360 version comes out, but is there anything else?
