I Heart 360

So I finally picked up an Xbox 360 (for my birthday) and nabbed 5 games to jumpstart my collection. (PGR3, GRAW, Dead Rising, NFS:Most Wanted, and Fight Night Round 3). Combined with my gamefly membership, I've been having a field day. A few notes from my first two weeks with my 360:

  1. Although we all talk about wanting new game experiences, graphics is still king.
  2. Although graphics is still king, you can't put lipstick on a pig.
  3. Smacking a zombie upside its head with a bowling ball is extremely therapeutic.
  4. Classical music is surprisingly conducive to powersliding through London at 100 MPH.
  5. The aggressiveness of your videogame boxing style is inversely proportionate to how similar to you your videogame boxer looks.
  6. If you've practically beaten a game on the original Xbox, starting from scratch with the 360 version is about as fun as it sounds.
  7. If I had one of those eye monocles, I'd use it to play videogames discretely all day.
