Ok since the console has been out a week in the US, there doesnt seem to be many people posting in the Xbox 360 official thread which leads me to believe not many have one or its not as good as I am hoping it to be!

That first vote was mine and I dont have one yet but it should be delivered to my house on Friday! Condemned arrived today lol Very Happy


May the NFOrce be with you always.

I'll get mine next year, as I said on the other thread im in no rush. So my answer is don't have one.

In part I think there haven't been that many posts on the official thread because as you said its only been out a week, its only available in the US, there are shortages plus there aren't that many people posting in this console forum period.

I guess its something which you either love or hate - 3-4 pages of relevant discussion with a little offtopic Vs 20 page crapfest threads full of trolls, fanboy posts and flaming, with the same questions being asked and answered repeatedly plus several pages of technical discussion and thxs posts. I know which I prefer. Smile

i dont know anymore. sure, it would be sweet with a modship. but when i look back on the xbox and see what games i REALLY enjoyed, it would be like only 10 games. rest so so games i could have rented, absolutely nothing that will draw me back to those games.

also the benefit of playing live, come to think about it.

i wouldnt mind just buying a game now and then. instead of wasting time leeching crap that just ends up collecting dust anyway.

also the fact that i doubt there will be a modchip for a very long time.

fuck, i might go legit. Sad Crying or Very sad

i ll go legit with the ps3 cuz due to bluray i ll know there is no chance to copy these games (atleast not for a long time) so i will have my peace of mind.
and, of course the ps3 has some serious killer apps, instead of ports from current-gen like xbox360.

Nothing wrong with buying games Nailbiter, nothing at all.

In regards to the other comments I seriously don't think things are that much better over on the Sony or Nintendo machines, I'd admit that Sony does have some good exclusive titles as does Nintendo but since getting my Xbox way back I hardly even play my PS2.

In reality all of the major developers have became extremely lazy, they favour making yearly sequels/cash cows over taking a chance and developing new fresh games and who can blame them when the majority of people just focus on the graphics, what resolution the textures are and what res the game can be ran at.

Bottom line is that each machine has its titles that you could buy the machine for and each machine has such a glut of games getting released every month that chances are at least half of them aren't even rental material.

The PC games scene is just as stale at the moment as well. The biggest games, stuff like F.E.A.R., COD2, Quake 4, Civ 4, The Movies, Black and White 2, AOE3, Serious Sam 2 although good were nothing new. I wouldn't look back on those games years from now and tag any of those "classics" even though I enjoyed them.

Ok finally got round to playing my Xbox 360 and all 3 games! Im not really all that good when it comes to giving mini reviews so bear with me lol.

I played Perfect Dark Zero first but I didnt play it for long. After the really nice intro before the title screen which kinda reminded me of Bond movie the first thing that hit me was the super crisp resolution in comparison to current generation console games. Visually the game looks awesome with a decent framerate which blurs the screen slightly when you turn your view and some nice effects from weapons, explosions and sparks etc. The audio sounds superior to the original Xbox as well which impressed me. Just seems so much clearer. As I said, I didnt play for long. In fact I didnt even finish the first mission! I kinda wanted a quick go on all of them before getting in depth with a particular game.

Then I tried Project Gotham Racing 3. Presentation could have been better. The title screen and options look very uninspiring but I guess thats not all that important! I just had a quick race but visually the game is truly stunning. It has a great framerate, excellent feel of speed and some nice crash damage effects. I was totally blown away by the 360 rotating I was doing whilst driving lol. Not the greatest thing to do since I ended up hitting walls but its great to get a view of the car in motion from all angles and just seeing the scenery whizz by! Really impressed with PGR3 and Im sure I will play it a lot.

So I come to my final game and one which I personally think is my favourite so far since I played it for almost 2 hours lol. Although it has firearms, Condemned isnt an fps but more of an fpm which is first person melee! Its ultra violent and has bad language hence the 18 certificate but its a lot of fun! Weapons vary from pipes, wooden planks with nails, fire axes, sledge hammers and Ive come across the odd pistol and shotgun although ammo is intentionally and unbelievably scarce! The majority of combat consists of swinging weapons at your enemy and blocking their attacks which is pretty cool I have to say. You can also stun them with a zap of the taser! Visually the game reminds me of Doom3 with excellent use of shadows and lighting. It has a really ambient creepy atmosphere too which isnt really surprising since its a game by the same guys who did F.E.A.R. I was constantly looking behind me and bumping into things and kicking things on the floor made me spin round as I thought an enemy was sneaking up on me. The AI is pretty intelligent and will hide from you or run if you have a gun and they dont but at times they just come at you like the mad men they are! There are finishing moves too which can be executed with a tap of the directions on the D-Pad. I thought the idea of using certain weapons to access certain areas was a good idea. Much better than collecting coloured keycards or the silly key items used in the Resident Evil games.

Personally I think the Xbox 360 is nothing my AMD64 6800GT cant do but a lot of the games I suspect will be 360 only titles. I have no regrets spending as much as I have on this but the heat from the power supply is a little concerning to say the least!

Really looking forward to Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, Resident Evil 5, Alan Wake, Dead Rising, Possession and Gears Of War.


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Awesome impressions headshot, who the hell you trying to kid "not good when it comes to giving mini-reviews" - yeah right Razz

I saw some article today saying that some of the 360's had been recalled because the Hard Discs hadn't been setup correctly (I believe by setup they mean't software wise), along with the power supplys and heat that alot of people say eminates from the inside of the console its slightly worrying but nothing they can''t or won't fix.

lol well I guess it wasnt bad but at first it wasnt good. I guess it turned out alright after I put some thought into it lol but did I spend a lot of time editing it. As well as the hot PSU, I have also noticed the discs get warm too. Ive read a lot of stuff about the american consoles overheating, freezing, not reading discs, scratching discs and displaying error codes so I am thankful Ive not experienced any of that!

The ring of light is pretty cool I have to say. At first I thought it was faulty since only a quarter of the ring was illuminated but then I found out each quarter lights up depending on how many controllers are connected! It would be nice to see the full ring illuminated since it gives the impression its not operating at its full capacity lol. I unplugged the video cable and then realised I left the game in the drive so I turned it back on to eject the disc and the ring of light starts flashing red! I thought omg its broke already! Then I plugged the video cable back in and it stopped! Impressive! lol
