No diversity or lacking in diversity?

It's lacking in diversity, but then so is the PS3 and the Wii.

It has a couple of RPGs, zero platformers, few racers, no survival horrors(until silent hill5), 2 stealth action games and a BAZILLION shooter games. The shooters outweigh the rest of the genres, that to me is lack of diversity..

Ok, let's play a game, name more shooters on 360 than the below games

Fable 2

Project Offset

Alan Wake

Theseis

Ninja Gaiden 2

Kameo

Viva Pinata

Battle for Middle Earth 2

Ace Combat 6

PGR3-4

Forza 2

Mass Effect 1-2-3

Too Human 1-2-3

Banjo

Halo Wars

Lost odyssey

Cry On

Blue Dragon

Infinite Undiscovery

Elveon

Overlord

Sacred 2

Dungeon Hero

Edge of Twilight

Command and Conquer 3

World in Conflict

Well, seeing as how only 10 of the games you listed are out right now (you're listing crap that won't be out for at least a year, in some cases 2-3), I'll list that:

1) Halo, 2) Bioshock, 3) COD 3, 4) COD 4, 5) Gears, 6) Blacksite, 7) Orange Box, 8) MoH, 9) Fear Files, 10) Timeshift

I could, of course, go on, but you get the idea. When you are having to compare EVERY GENRE COMBINED against shooters to try and level out the titles, that's not diversity. And you're even including racing games, which the 360 is also heavy on.

List a bunch of multi-plats, lol. Kameo, Dead Rising, Forza 2, PGR4, Crackdown, Saints Row, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Beautiful Katamari are all exclsuive right now. The only game you named that isnt multiplat is Halo 3, so you're not really making any sense. Why dont I just start naming off games like smackdown vs raw, Madden, NHL 08 etc...?

First, get a clue. Bioshock, Halo, Gears, Fear Files, are all 360 exclusives. And the point was the number of shooters on the 360 compared to other titles; whether multiplat or not is irrelevant. If I wanted to spend an extra 3 minutes I could easily find "exclusive" shooters for you to hem and haw and downlplay, but frankly, since we both know they are out there I'm not gonna waste my time.

OK, I'll pay forward some help.

If you're using XP go to this site:

http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/61

If you're using Vista (or probably XP) if you go to your network places pane (where it shows your network connections), highlight both your wireless connection and your LAN that is connected to the 360 and then right click, you'll be given the option to bridge the connection. Then just reboot everything and it should work just fine.

As to those who are saying "why not just connect to your router"...it's not that simple for some of us. In my case, my 360 is on the bottom floor of my house, and our wireless router is on the 3rd floor. I'd have to run a cable through a lot of house to hook it up. That's the whole reason I wanted to connect my 360 to my laptop...without the wireless adapter I had to have a wired connection, and it made no sense to run wire all through my house when I can just run a cable from my laptop (with it's wifi connection) to the 360.

Wow, I thought I was the only one with this very same problem. The only difference between us is, is that my laptop is XP, not Vista. My laptop is connected wirelessly, so I tried running my ethernet cable from my laptop to my 360, and I enabled ICS, but nothing! Same problem as you man, it fails the IP test. I hope somebody responds to this.nyc05

OK so I found the original thread (it's at http://www.gamespot.com/forums/show_msgs.php?board_id=909102864&topic_id=25582044). Unfortunately history isn't repeating itself with regards to following those things and eventually succeeding over this thing.

I had this figured out after asking this same question here about 6 weeks ago, but I can't find the question anywhere and Gamespot is saying I have no posts.

I have a Vista laptop that is connected to the internet via wireless. I ran an ethernet cable from my laptop to my 360 so that I wouldn't have to buy a wireless adapter for the 360. I turned on ICS on my wireless connection. Yet anytime I run a media connection test on my 360 it fails on the IP address stage.

Anyone know what exactly to do to get it to work?
