well i finally got an xbox about two months early two days ago for 400 with five games, kameo, call of duty 2, burnout revenge, condemned and.....king kong which is still in its wrapper:D .
overall the consoles greaat but the games were a bit overhyped like the 'awesome ai' in comdemned which isnt that awesome really they just A: make a b line for you or B: hide around the next corner and wait which means you use the taser on em so while scary its not challenging.
call of duty is....well exactly the same as its predecessor only with better graphics so its good fps style fun.
king kong...well i didnt like the film so i cant be arsed to play it.
burnouts good, i havent played another burnout game so i was a little confused as to how you gain points by crashing in a race but its cool.
i didnt think id like kameo at all but its got me up to 610 on my gamerscore allready and its not bad.
-THAT SAID -yesterday its suddenly started going "theres a problem with your disc it may be dirty or damaged" so i think i gotta go back to game to exchange it for one that isnt faulty, could be worse i could have got an overheating console.
-THAT SAID...EER AGAIN-the first day, and this is a warning for anyone whos getting one my 360 did heat up a lot and i mean really really hot, but i let it cool for half an hour every few hours and now it can stay on for longer without getting as hot, oh and id get rid of the snowboarding video warner bros. puts on it when you get it it takes up 1.5gb and even an xbox game save is at most a few hundred kb so its really a waste of memory when you can put two cds on instead.
plus by pressing the button in the centre of the controller (and wireless kick ass by the way) you bring up a menu that you can select xbox live , your gamer card, the dash board or select music tracks youve ripped from cds and play them over your game, theres nothing like killing junkies in condemned along to "the devil is a loser" by lordi, its like playing that old games chanel that used to be on sky with all the games music videos, only thats all porn now, a sad day for gameing tv, bring back when games attack bravo!.
anyhoo as for backwards compatability and i know some of you will be dying to know this, .....without xbox live there really isnt one, out of all my games and ive got around 40 only one game played, can you guess which one?, yep thats right halo 2, not even half life 2 played on it , which surprised me, you just get a message saying "you must connect to xbox live yadda yadda yadda" and the best bt connection we can get around here is 1 meg so we cant get xbox live here....:barf:
so overall its a good console ,which im glad dint overheat, but its got nothing spectacular gams wise, but thats said these are mostly games that were rushed for an early next gen launch to beat the ps3 but when games like dead rising and halo 3 have put much longer in production i dont think anyones seen the best this console can do yet, not by far.
