GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Jan 7, 2009

I've had my X-Box 360 for 2 months now and I've played 17 different games on it, so far...

The first was Mass Effect...I love that game...unfortunately I was only able to play through it once and then get half-way through a second file before I had to take it back to the video store...

Next was Grand Theft Auto 4. It was the best GTA yet. I finished the story but still needed to do a lot before I got 100% completion...

I rented Fable 2...As soon as I started the game and started the first mission (where you've gotta find the warrants) and it froze up and had to be restarted...something about the disc being damaged and unreadable...I took the game back and they cleaned it or something I tried it out again and it froze again...had to take it back and get another game instead...I decided to get Left4Dead...

Left4Dead was so awesome...actually my mom wanted to play more than I did, I think...it kinda sucked to play through it with her because she never really played an FPS before so I was constantly looking at her screen and trying to give her tips and stuff...It took her a while to get used to the controls...we both survived all of the campaigns...both got a bunch of achievments...she loved the game...even though she wasn't very good at it...

I finally rented Fable 2 again (from a different video store) and started it up...

Un-FREAKIN'-believable...it froze in the exact same spot as before...different disc from a different store and it froze in the same place...I took it back and they cleaned it off...but I was so mad, I had seen the first 10 minutes of the game around 10 times by now and I was sure I even wanted to play it anymore...I decided to give it one more try and it finally worked...and I'm so glad it did because I loved that game...it froze a few times but I was still able to finish the game and enjoy it...Fable 2 was definitely better than the first...although I was dissapointed by the dog...I didn't really feel a bond with it like some people did...well, not until the end of the game...

Another game I loved was Fallout 3...my only problem with the game was that you can only go up to level 20...

I bought a couple of games, also...Dead Rising and Assassin's Creed...

I finished Assassin's Creed in a few days...it was so awesome, I can't wait for the next one...all I need to do now is find all of the flags and kill all of the Templars...

Dead Rising...I hated it...it was not as fun as I thought it would be...I started playing it before I got Assassin's Creed and after I beat Assassin's, I gave Dead Rising another try...after I leveled up a few more times the game got a lot more fun...I've played through it twice in the past few days...the first time, I wasn't able to complete all of the cases and I managed to get 11 survivors out of the mall...next I was able to finish all of the cases and got 25 survivors out of the mall...now I'm playing Overtime mode and I have 12 hours to find and collect 10 Queens...

The biggest problems I've had with my 360 in the past 2 months:

A few games have frozen while I was palying them...

Also, the controller that came with the console is really messed up and needs to be replaced...the battery pack is loose and every once in a while, it'll shut off and also the analog sticks will stick in a direction and keep my character moving when I want them to stop...other than that, it's been good...

No...I got it at Hollywood Video...I should've gotten it at a Best Buy or something, though...

Hollywood Video...thats a pawnshop, I have to of those in the county I live in. But in other words, they sold you a faulty 360 and its not under warranty. So if it gets the RRoD, your buying a new 360.
