Xbox 360 - Xbox 360

Xbox 360 is an awesome beast

I gotta say that I'm in love with the new Xbox 360. I've heard many people commenting that the games aren't much better than ones on the current generation systems but you need to keep in mind that these are just release games. The Xbox 360s release games are considerably better than the very best Xbox 1 and PS2 can offer and things are only going to get better from here on. Looking at the system specs alone should be enough to convice you of the immense potential this system has to offer. Perhaps the greatest part of the new 360 lay in it's extensive Xbox Live support. You can download demos, purchase classic Arcade Games, download movie/game trailers, play online games, and host your own voice chat sessions with friends. You'll even be able to video chat in the future! One of the most disconcerning reports about the 360 have been reports of system malfunctions and crashes. Microsoft has reported that this is only true for a very small percentage of the systems released and I must tend to agree with them. I know several people who also have the system and none of us have had any problems with the system. It would seem many of the people "reporting" problems also don't even own the system to begin with - many Sony and Nintendo fanboys would really love the system to flop. How hard is it to sign up for a forum account somewhere and begin ranting about supposed problems?

Call of Duty 2 - Xbox 360

Great Game, don't listen to the fanboys

I gotta admit that I'm not a big fan of World War II games myself but I played this game on a demo Xbox 360 a few months back and decided this would have to be the game for me whenever I get my 360. Now after purchasing the 360 and Call of Duty 2 I must say that I am not dissappointed in the slightest. The graphics in this game are truly awesome and I have seen no crappy framerates at all (not sure what the other guy was commenting on there). Also the AI is challenging if you're playing on anything other than the Easiest difficulty setting. If you really want a challenge try it on Veteran difficulty setting - a true test of anyones patience and fortitude.

Gun - Xbox 360

Great game

Among the three games I currently own for the 360 (Gun, Call of Duty 2, Quake 4) this is easily my favorite game. While the graphics are very good the main draw to me is the ability to play in the Wild West that I grew up watching in old Eastwood movies. There is a rather large amount of stuff to be done within the game aside from the main story which is always a major bonus for a game. This is actually one of the few games that I have actually taken the time to play through multiple times. The only complaint I have with the game is that the main story is too short for my tastes. The game has the makings of a truly epic story but it falls short. Hence I can't give a perfect 5 but it's still worthy of a 4.5 in my book.

Quake 4 - Xbox 360

Decent game but not what I expected

The main reason I purchased this game was the fact that I read somewhere it had the "best graphics of any 360 game so far" and I wanted to see what the system was capable of myself. After playing the game I must say that I'm sorely dissapointed as the graphics don't seem to be that great and I honestly believe Call of Duty 2 to be a MUCH better looking game. Also the framerate seems to drop a bit too much for my tastes and the animations within the game seem a bit choppy. Gameplay wise the game plays alot like Doom 3. While I found Doom 3 to be a fairly good game it's not one that I really looked forward to seeing rehashed yet again. The single player experience is mildly entertaining and Xbox live multiplayer isn't that bad but nothing overly exciting. If you simply must have a shooting game for the Xbox 360 I'd suggest Call of Duty 2 over this. If you can't stomach a WWII game though and prefer the Sci-fi scene then this just may be the game for you. I'd recommend trying Perfect Dark Zero first though as I hear some good things about it but haven't played it myself. All in all Quake 4 is a mildly entertaining experience.
