Happy Birthday Xbox Live!

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 15th 2007 at 10:30AM }

It's that time everyone, the fifth birthday of our most beloved gaming service. We're talking about Xbox Live, of course. Don't forget that their are festivities galore planned today. There's Game with Fame events, free Carcassonne (like a gift bag, but geekier), free MS Points for the brave individuals that subscribed way back in 2002, and more. For a full recap on everything that's happening, check out the roundup we posted earlier this week. Oh, and don't forget we'll be celebrating in our own way with X3F Live and Halo 3 tonight at 7:30pm EST. For full details, click here. We'll see you online, and remember, don't party too hard. Most of us have to work tomorrow.

I'll be playing COD4! As soon as I find a way out of this meeting at work.

Too bad Assassins Creed has no multiplayer. I would love to get into it today.

Carcassonne is oddly addictive.

NukeAssault @ Nov 15th 2007 11:14AM

Carcassonne is pretty fun. Ii just never wanted to pay for it. =P

Tr3y MoNey @ Nov 15th 2007 11:14AM

Call of Duty 4 is better. You should play that instead. I'm just sayin...

jax sedrin @ Nov 15th 2007 11:36AM

I'm seriously kicking myself now for buying Carcassonne just 3 short weeks ago...

Ugh.

MDJ2010 @ Nov 15th 2007 11:42AM

So X-box live is working okay at the moment? I can't get in, arghhhh!

Anticrawl @ Nov 15th 2007 12:08PM

Was that a serious comment? Aegis Wing has always been free....

lylerk @ Nov 15th 2007 12:23PM

Create a Korean Silver Account (get an address online) and download Hexic 2 for free. You can play it from your main gamertag.

Boff @ Nov 15th 2007 12:12PM

Hey Amber and Nuke, can you tell me why you think COD4 has better multiplayer than Halo 3? Honestly I want know.

It's cause my cousin wants me to get COD4, we used to play Halo 3 together but he doesn't like it as much cause he sucks at it, and always makes us "lose". It's not a big deal if I lose in social matches, but still he dislikes it for that reason. Well, I was just wonderin..

Aaron @ Nov 15th 2007 1:50PM

I dont see any free points , Ive been on Live since day 1 without any interuptions.

J @ Nov 15th 2007 1:54PM

TORO,

COD4's Online is pretty terrible compared to Halo3, but it really comes down to personal preference. You should rent it like I did and see for yourself before you buy it. Although I enjoyed it enough last weekend. I would have been pissed if I bought it at full price.

Its pretty tedious and all around just doesn't compare to the depth of Halo3. Campaign, although short, was pretty intense.
