WTF???

who would want to play that waste of money anyways? Fucking worthless wastes of space spend money and way to much time on games. Granted I am no better… but I do it at night before I goto bed. Paying 15 a month for ONE game = tax on the stupid. Granted you pay for Xbox Live… but you can play ANY game live enabled for that not just one. I played the game for the trail… put like 2 hours in and was bored… Ill stick to my free MMORPGs… ---
