Oooo I love Mercenaries... it's the last xBox game I finished. I wanna try

Woot I just got it. Gonna crank it up now.

Bouncing around collecting agility orbs is damn addictive man. Everytime you head up there you'd see 6 more and have to get them all... It's getting real fun now that I can jump a bit.

I was fortunate enough to unintentionally fall on several of those purple orbs too

200th orb just now. Going to sleep now.

That damn one on top of the ferris wheel will have to wait til tmr
3.5* in agility, and in the first island, orbs are getting real scarce.

I tend to linger on the mini-boss fights, just to get more gang members involved and rack up more kills.

It doesn't zoom in, does it? I get te crosshairs and all, but can't get it to zoom... not thatit's really needed, though, with the auto targeting...

My left thumb is a bit sore from Crackdown. I didn't realise it yesterday, but when doing big jumps, I tend to really press forward hard...

And I can't get over the sensation of falling I get when leaping off buildings... It's freaky.

What?

So you're saying that dark-skinned people should consistently have a negative stereotype attached to them?

There are a couple of dark-skinned baddies, though. But it's something different, lah. Gives the opportunity to shoot at all other sorts of people

Manually switch?

I was in GH yesterday. By the looks of it, a few of us were...

Wanna go home n play. Work is damn slow today. Half of this office is still off, and technically I'm meant to be, cos the other company I work for is off til next monday.

I got yesterday from playing Crackdown... play play jump jump, then suddenly after 2 hours, the console powered down, and 3 red blinking lights...

Heart nearly stopped. So I let it cool down for a while. Then I took a long cable, plugged it to my floppy 12v power connector in my comp (I got no floppy), and plugged in a 8cm fan on my x360 side so it draws fresh air into the side. Play 6 hours straight last night no problems.

The hunt for green orbs is nuts man. I can't stop... 4* agility and still I'm going...

Make sure you're not near a rail or ledge... if so, you might melee attack instead of shoot. If not, then something's wrong.

Melee I like to run straight at them, or jump and land right behind them then whack

Mercenaries 1 was one of the games I actually finished, so I'm looking forward to 2 Haha Hugo Chavez... not liked much stateside, I guess...

To Crack. Once you Crack, you can never go back...

Hmmm.. dunno man. The ledge/rail thing was the only time i meleed air. But I normally jump while shooting...

And yeah, being done with Crackdown won't take that long, it seems. I'm pacing myself so I dun finish it too fast. I'm just enjoying jumping around and shooting stuff, and leaving the bosses alone.

One month? I think 2 weeks max can sort it out already. They're holding back 100 points tho, for future add-on.

I like the foot races. I hate the car stuff, cos the damn cars handle like crap. Some of the car achievements are just plain dumb lah.

I've been holding off killing all the bosses, and instead working on the races, orbs and other misc achievements. Might be time to finish off the game now.

Oh yeah, need a buddy to help on the co-op thing, so if anyone's free and we're both on, that would be great

But not tmr, got concert...

Crap lah. Got 9 more agility orbs.

Stupid Around the Wheel foot race was a pain. Kept on falling off in the same spot Eventually managed to calm down and do it in a slow systematical manner.

Repo man now, and those stupid buggers should stay in the car.

Need to find co-op buddy for, well, the whole co-op thing... but it looks like no time until next week...

I got 9 more

Where ah?

Congrats and #%^& you basket cos I can't find the last 8!!!!!!!!!

Stupid agility orbs... I've been searching EVERYWHERE!!!

Not quite like GoW, this one. There is no offline co-op mode.

Drive up to a gang car. Stop your car. If you are close enough, they will get out of their car, and stand still for a couple of seconds. Run them over before they start moving. You should be able to stop fairly close to their car before they pop out.

It's best if you can stop your car facing their car's side. This way, all you have to do is accelerate, ram the gang member down, and hopefully push their gang car into the other guy on the other side, nailing you two car kills.

It's easier than chasing down those gang members on foot, and you usually don't flatten civvies this way too.
