I recently sold my 60gb PS3 and picked up an xbox 360 pro, along with gears, halo 3, mass effect, assassin's creed, and soon guitar hero 3. Don't get me wrong, I liked my PS3 quite a bit, but after playing on my neighbor's 360 I really felt that now is the time to own a 360 and a year down the road i'll pick up a PS3 when its more affordable and there are better games out for it.

I will be enjoying a ton of games that are new to me in the coming months, and am just now coming up with a list of must-haves for 2008. so far here are my most anticipated 360 games for 2008;

alan wake

too human

ninja gaiden 2

banjo threeie

splinter cell conviction

lost odyssey

halo wars

fable 2

devil may cry 4

resident evil 5

grand theft auto 4

saints row 2

condemned 2

brutal legend

I know I don't have every single game listed but these are all the ones i am really looking forward to out of the ones i know of. surely you can see that there are plenty of games to keep me occupied, heck there are enough exclusives to keep me occupied -- until the ps3 drops another hundred bucks and some more games worth my money are available for it.

let me know if i'm missing any AAA quality games from my list.

ahh yes.. it was bioshock and gears that really made me wish i had a 360.. but since it doesn't have multiplayer and is kind of short, i will just borrow it from my neighbor.. that is one beautiful game from what i've seen so far which is when your plane crashes up until you get into the medical center.

This sounds like one of those blog threads from the stickied thread that annoy people -

" Blog threads. You generally won't actually be moderated for these but your thread will be locked. Common examples of blog threads that will be locked here are "My 360 just got the RROD and now I want to tell the whole world about it", "I just traded my 360 for a PS3", or "I just bought a Wii." Fascinating as these are, they're best suited for your blog. "

I was a BIG PS2 player...loved SOCOM. When the 360 came out all my friends got one and I thought it would be good to play online with them. I was very surprised at how organized the online was; although it sucks to have to pay. Overall, I am extremely happy with the 360 and play itA LOT. But, if the next playstation or nintendolooks better then microsoft I would easily switch back over. But, this generation nothing comes close to the xbox...in my opinion. Now let's just hope you don't get the RROD!

Grats on ur 360 dude.... just hope urs doesn't die like mine did.... and if it does... hopefully MS doesn't screw you over like they did to me.

I'm currently having my 360 fixed on my own dollar, well $180 actually.... but I'm having a 3rd party cooling system installed to it... It's basically a big cooling fan in its own box that has hoses coming from it going into the back of the 360. If it doesnt keep it cool... then nothing but a refrigeration system will.

I love how cows are synical when things like this happen. Someone swapping from PS3 to 360 and liking it? NOT POSSIBLE!!!! *sticks fingers in ears* Ok so lem, sheep and hermit would do this same but since what the guy said wasn't exceptionally suspiciouse what reason other then the fact you dont like what he's saying do you have not to believe him.

You should never have gotten rid of your 60gig because the no bc and limited bc skus are lame, lame, lame. You should have just added the 360 and had the best PS3 avalible and a 360.

Anyway be sure to pick up Saint's Row, Overlord, Kameo, Viva Pinata, and Condemned those are all $20 used titles now and great games.

Also don't forget to get PDZ, it's common knowledge on SW that it stinks which should be enough to convince you to try it out based on what else passes for knowledge here.
