Fable II: Episode 1 is currently free for X360.  Downloading it now.

Does it require Fable II?

How do you download it?
No, it is Fable II (or at least episode 1 of it). :P

You just connect to the XBox360 network thingy (whatever it's called) and browse games, and it'll be listed as costing 0 Gamer Points.

Downloaded it for the hell of it, but haven't played it yet.

I finished the Terminator game for the 360-- I really feel sad for anyone who paid full MSRP for that game.

If you have a Best Buy Rewards Zone card (free), you can get Warhammer Online & Neverwinter Nights expansion pack free with a coupon.  I also picked up the newer Call of Juarez game (PC) for $10 with the coupon.

Battlestations Pacific looks really cool. I'll try the demo, though, since I'm not sure it can run on my computer.

X-Com complete.  Runs very well in Vista.
Also, Railroads! (although far more simplistic than RRT3), COH Gold, TItan Quest Bundle, Chronicles of Riddick, and WIC, IMHO.

And Company of Heroes for $10, and CoH complete for $30. Is the last one worth it? I haven't played any of them yet, kind of inclned to either get just the first for $10.

It figures.

1 week after I get my new XBox, we have houseguests again (or the same houseguests from last year are back).  So I've suddenly lost my basement where the XBox is.

So while I've had a couple of good moments playing Rock Band / GHWT with a group of 3 (I seem to be the only one that can play the drums), I haven't been able to play a single bit of NCAA 10. :angry:

CoH is fast paced. There isn't time to turtle.

Get the complete. The first expension is worth the money. The 2nd one is crap apparently but I haven't played it.

Question re: Civ4.  How do I play on an actual map of the Earth?  The 'Terra' option seems to generate an "Earthlike" planet but it still looks lame and unrealistic to me.  Rainforests right next to taiga... yay! :mellow:
