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:
- Although we all talk about wanting new game experiences, graphics is still king.
- Although graphics is still king, you can't put lipstick on a pig.
- Smacking a zombie upside its head with a bowling ball is extremely therapeutic.
- Classical music is surprisingly conducive to powersliding through London at 100 MPH.
- The aggressiveness of your videogame boxing style is inversely proportionate to how similar to you your videogame boxer looks.
- 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.
- If I had one of those eye monocles, I'd use it to play videogames discretely all day.
