I signed up for xbox live gold: 60.00 for 12 months of unlimited use. I have downloaded many demos like Fight Night 3 and Battlefield Modern Combat (very impressive, no lag in sight). It seems like playing a game now that affects your score or unlocks achievements is less of an achievement. The more I play with this machine, the more I like it. The 360 button on the controller takes you back to “desktop” as well as turning the machine on/off (a simple function I know of, but it works). Simple little things impress: the size of the wireless controller: perfect. The physical build is impressive, though the size of the power supply is staggering. I’ll be pasting simple no BS reviews here, of the games I’m interested in on the 360 platform. This page will be updated the more you use the system. Getting people to play more than they paid for, rather than the modern obsession with having more and not using, is a good idea (since these games don’t come cheap: $75 for a war fighter!). Basically, they want you to play and get involved and they will reward you for it. The more you achieve, the better your rating and points will be (the rating can also be improved with visits, friends, help, messages, etc.). Microsoft has also insisted on achieving it in all games. Which means you get more value and a different experience.

But you have to upgrade to gold (and pay) to play online and get some downloads. Think of it as your internet on the internet. Xbox Live is the ace in the Microsoft deck. I expected to be starring on screen during my first run of War Fighter and was very pleasantly surprised. Easy to navigate, ability to jump in and out of games easily. You sign in to Xbox Live and tell you when you need to update. No wasting time with patches and updates. It feels like a stripped down computer (but in a good way). The desktop and systems setup immediately shows you that there is much more to this machine than just gaming. Small but weighs the same as a concrete block. But heck, I work at it, so keeping up with all the tech is my job (or so I keep telling myself).įirst Impressions: When setting up the 360 the first thing that strikes you is the physical weight of the machine. So I blew up my credit card, pissed off my wife, and invested in more computer hardware that I may not need. The more reviews I read, the more convinced I became that the 360 was made up of great hardware that was finally being put to use.

the delay on ps3 along with the delay on Ghost Recon on PC. I finally gave in to the “evils” at Microsoft and invested in their Next Generation console.
