Microsoft XBOX 360

[ccret1998]

For anyone who plays the Xbox 360 Live, I would love to play alongside some of my fellow Heroes fans.

My gamertag is Steeple X

I have been playing my first 360 title, Gears of War. Send me a message and we'll go blow up stuff.

don't own an x-box 360 and I'm quite possibly the worse male alive at first person shooter type games... but I appreciate what you are trying to do...

the c in ccret is for community!

rock out!

So glad it was free! I'm at boarding school but in the hols I'll tell you if I'm online and then you can shout "frag out" as much as you want! I love the whole action reloading thing don't you?

If and when I get on Live I'll let you know.  My wife and I are having the dicussion of a Wii (which she really wants) or a 360 (which I really want).

yeah. I tell you, the whole reason I got an Xbox in the first place was the Halo series. However, GOW is an excellent game on so many levels. A FPS that uses cover and is still fast paced. Few glitches. Great story and graphics.

I've been waiting for Halo 3, but GOW will keep me busy until then.

I borrowed my friends 360 for a weekend and played through GOW..Loved it!!!! I was also surprised by how much I enjoyed WWE: Smack Down vs. Raw.  I don't even like wrestling and I had big fun with the game.

I wondered about that WWE game, but worried about the replayability.

I enjoyed it.  It wasn't a button masher, nor was it a complex button series to perfrom basic moves.  They really brought that "rastlin" feel to it with the Stamina meter.  Basically it gives the reason why a guys stands there why his opponet in rolling around on the ground.
I enjoyed the comprehensiveness of the character creator and the party aspect of the game was big fun. 
I rented that game along with Dead Rising and I was shocked at how much I didn't spend on Dead Rising because I was playing WWE:SvsR

Dead Rising looks cool.....how was that?

I was disappointed.  I don't have the big uber-TV and it didn't seem to look that great.  Loading was a killer! The whole beginning of the game was cut-scene, loading, walking to the next room, cut scene, loading, go outside and kill a few zombies, loading.  IT WAS SOOOOO ANNOYING!
On top of that, during actual game play, the screen text that was giving the instructions was so tiny I couldn't sit on my couch and make it out.  I eventually gave up.

Wow. Glad I got your scoop before I went to go buy it.

Rent it first.

Is it good for a weekend game at least?

[TRu]

I hope to get a xbox 360 soon.  Gears of War is awesome!  Xbox Live is even awesomer.  Xbox leads the way in console online gaming.

I already have a Wii and it is a great party system.  I don't play it as often as before, but it's definitely worth the price.  Lots of fun for those that don't play video games that much.

Definitely
