GOT THE BOX
Yeah, I was waiting at Wal-Mart since 4:30pm.
It got really swamped. It was insane. I'll detail more tomorrow. For now... TO PLAY Condemned! |
MORE INPUT!
|
Every game accept for Call of Duty 2 looks like shit. I havent seen Dead or Alive yet tho. Perfect Dark looks pretty good. Everything else looks horrible and unoriginal.
|
Thanks to some oil surplus in my province, I am getting $400 in gubment cheese. Add to that $250 I recently came into and that might = XBox 360 for me.

Condemned looked interesting as well, but then someone said there was some killer repetition in there and I personally hate lazy games that just have you repeat the same shit over. Other than that, the game looks good. Kinda like a cross between Manhunt and ...er....i dunno. It has some Chronicles of Riddick in there...gonna have to see the game being played in front of me though to confirm if the graphics are any better. BTW, HOW BIG IS IT? LIKE BIGGER AND HEVAIER THAN THE FIRST? even though I vaguely recollect them saying it'd be lighter and smaller =_= |
www.hardocp.com has good reviews.
Whats it like Ninti? |
I heard Madden 360 is absolute shit.
|
Will Perfect dark be the SSBM of the 360 until halo 3 comes out?
|
Madden
http://gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=1590 I suggest watching the first clip, Raiders vs. Broncos. Looks pretty damn good, although I'm waiting on the PS3. |

No Superstar mode on 360, apparently, and no play challenges either, from what I hear. |
Yea basically it's just the basic football game.
|
Technology is slowing down.
|
The only reason I'd even consider getting a 360 would be for Perfect Dark Zero. The graphics are slightly more improved over the original Box, but not enough to warrant a new system already. I can understand wanting to get a leg up on the next-gen systems from Sony and Nintendo, but I thought that the original Box still had a ton of potential.
Leave it to Microsoft, I guess, to rush out a new product when there isn't really necessarily anything wrong with the old one. "Yeah, but this one's FASTER!" |
Perfect Dark 0 does indeed rule, so does Call of Duty 2. But otherwise, until N3 comes out, I don't think i'll buy more then those 2 games when I get mine in Janurary.
PS3 and MGS4 tho, soon as you can reserve them, i'm doing it. |
Okay. Time for a little mini review if you will.
Xbox = ownage I love the fact that you can turn off the system with YOUR CONTROLLER. You can also access the xbox menus while you are playing a game. It is just smooth. It's a heavy machine. No doubt. The fan is also distracting. It sounds louder than my PC. No big deal though. Now games. I've only played Kameo, Perfect Dark, and Condemned. I'll start with Kameo. BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS. I was awe struck for awhile in certain areas. Especially when you get a horse and start running through trolls. Literally thousands of them. The gameplay, which surprising I thought was going to suck, is exceptional. It has alot of Zelda elements. You know how you set buttons for hookshot, boomerang, etc. In this game, you set buttons for elemental powers which you transform into. At first, I also thought it was a linear game set by level to level action with no in between. WRONG. You can go anywhere on your map and you get money to buy upgrades. You also have to find these fruits that give you points to spend on upgrading your elementals. I definetely recommend this game. Condemned. I know this game has garnered alot of talk. At first glance, when you start using it, you flip out. Crazy ass atmosphere gets you in the mood. It has some Silent Hill elements. Flash light. Eery sounds. It also has some funny moments like when your character goes, "Federal agent, come out where I can see you" and the guy who is hiding goes "fucccck youuu". The graphics are also pretty awesome. I just have to say I am a little dossapointed in the repetition and how insanely linear the title is. I would recommend this game as a rental. It has some replay value if you wanna look for certain items in the elvels to get 100% and brag online but not much else. Now... Perfect Dark. What can I say? KJASHDUIAGDIUAGDAI This game kept its roots. If you liked the original one, you are going to love this one. This game needs no analysis. Now, some people are saying how the graphics jump isnt that big. WRONG. All the x-box exclusive games that I listed up here are awesome graphically. There is a BIG JUMP. Of course, the ports that are coming from ps2 and xbox arent going to be much different. THEY ARE PORTS. Overall, I am happy I got the xbox and cant wait to try more games. |
Yeah, the only reason I would want an X360 is for PDZ. Maybe I'll win one or I'll get one for $20 or so. FINGERS CROSSED.
|
I bought an X-Box like a month ago with the intention of trading it in at Best Buy ($150 credit towards the 360) soon..
Perfect Dark sold me on it due to my addiction to the N64 version.. Kameo sounds tight also.. Might try to pick it up once they restock.. :y: |

|
Oh yeah, and Quake IV should be seman worthy..
|
Ninti, on the $400 version, does it come with a DVD function or is that after market upgrade??
|
|
:rofl:
|
:lol:
My friend did that with his bike. He put something like "you are bidding on three pictures of this bike" and some other shit. Sold for like $300. The dude who bought it told eBay though and my friend ended up having to give the money back and eBay banned him :-\ Still funny though |
^
wtf? Why the shit did he have to pay him back? |

Well, the 400 one comes with a DVD remote but I'm sure the 300 one plays DVD's as well. |
Condemned is great. And I'm only through 3 levels. :cool:
|
GEEK CENTRAL
|
My mother won an XBox 360, and I'm not so sure about something. Are all old XBox games compatible with it, or is it only some titles?
|
Only some titles. Which is very disappointing.
Splinter Cell is unplayable and that is one of their biggest communities. |
What about Karaoke Revolution Party? :o
|
They'll probably have a list of compatible games on their website.

And there you go.
|
I thought there would be some kind of list, I just couldn't find it. :$
WTF, Karaoke Revolution Party came out 3 weeks before the X-Box 360 and they can't even manage to make it compatible. :mad: |
who knows, there may be firmware updates available for the box that allow it to play moer games, give it time :p
|
It's a pity they're all compatible only through emulation. Huge disappointment with that.. older games look TERRIBLE (ie worse than they did on normal xbox) through emulation. :(
|
I thought the old games were supposed to get a graphic update with the emulation.
|
Thanks to the Better video card inside the 360, it can force 4x AA and higher res rates on the older games, so they should be smoother.
|
I think that's a pretty bad move what Microsoft did with that partial compatibility. I can't believe you can still play Cabela's Deer Hunt 2005, but not fucking Splinter Cell!
|
Obviously people still play Fifa 2003.
