The Xbox360 has arrived…
Good news, I can finally tick off one goal from my goals project list. That's right, a week ago I picked up an Xbox360! I can't believe I waited so long, that machine is freakin awesome. Hooked into surround sound I was blown away by the details. After a few games I was also glad that I picked up the version with the hard drive. Saved games would have quickly consumed the base level memory.
I've already accumulated a handful of games (largely from the 'Classics' collection) including Gears of War, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Project Gotham Racing 3, Crack Down and Command and Conquer 3. Due to time constraints, I've only had time to play Gears of War, Dead Rising and Saints Row for any length of time. Gears of War is flat out awesome, graphics are detailed, physics and gameplay are as realistic as anything I've come across, and the surround sound really puts you in the middle of the action.
Dead Rising has been a favourite due to it's liberal 'borrowing' of the "Dawn of the Dead" scenario, whereby you are trapped in a shopping mall fighting back hordes of zombies. The difference here is that you are a photo journalist, who, whilst fighting zombies, is also trying to solve the mystery of what has caused the zombie phenomenon in the first place. It leaves you a variety of creative ways through which to dispatch zombies, and you can either try and solve the mystery or just see how many zombies you can destroy. Fun for the whole family!
Saints Row is like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on steroids. More action, more crime and far more profanity. I can see was this one scores the MA rating!
All up, the Xbox360 was a good buy, and definitely well worth the wait. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a planet to save...

I love my Xbox 360. There are a lot of great games for the system and many more that I’m excited to play this holiday season.
Enjoy yourself! After a lot of deliberation (and some luck) I got myself a Wii instead. My loss was my daughter’s gain. She is four and already hooked on to the Wii… ok, I admit I am too.
Wii is a lot of fun as well. I took a long time and finally decided the 360 was for me based on the games I like playing.
SP, I agree that while the Wii is indeed good, the 360 offers different options.
fark and here i am on the otherside of the world. ah, reminisce about the good old days … hitman the movie is out soon too. should be interesting or utter crap. you need sports games too. it brings out the best in everyone ;P
I saw the Hitman preview at the movies the other weekend. Looks like it has some potential.
I’m working on the sports games. I reckon I’ll get NBA2K8 when the price drops a bit.
Congrats on getting the system. I won’t be getting a new gen system at all, but I am getting a PSP rather soon. Enjoy the games you have and make them last, they’re rather expensive.
I’ve been meaning to say congrats to you on reaching a goal!
[...] COMPLETE!!! More details here. [...]
Thanks Dave
Dead Rising Rocks! My favorite by far!
