I think age restrictions are ridiculous in most cases. If a child's mind is that easily warped by a video game to the point that they actually believe it is ok to be violent then there is something wrong with the child, not the video game. I think parents should put more emphasis on explaining that its fake and not good to do in reality, rather than trying to avoid those games altogether. I have played arcade fighting games since the age of 8 and have never even hurt a fly. Sure I understand a parent's need to want to know what their child is being exposed to, but I can't stand when they shelter them from everything.

What's going to work better with a 360: a plasma TV or an LCD TV (not LED)? Plasmas reportedly have better picture quality (deeper blacks/contrast, more vibrant colors) and no motion blur, but they also have risk of burn-in from what I understand (and video games tend to have lots of static images like HUD's). Also, many/most in the same price range as LCD's only display in 720P. Additionally, they have ridiculously high refresh rates (like 600Hz). Does any of these create controller input lag? I'm looking at a Toshiba, Vizio, and Sony of 40-42" for the LCD TV's (all 1080p and 60 hz). The plasma would be a Panasonic of 42" and 720p.florbastang
I actually just read a bunch of articles on buying a television and all of them said a LCD tv is better, Plasma is better for watching movies/tv shows but not so good for video games. Trust me, LCD is the way to go.

So what is the most terrifying game you have ever played for the 360? I love horror and am looking for some ridiculously creepy games. So far Dead Space is the scariest one I have ever played.

First off, I want to apologize for every person that has been asked this question a thousand times. This was the best place for me to ask though.

Anyway, I am looking at some older games for when I get Xbox Live to save money and am wondering if a lot of people still play these games online.

The games are:

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

The first Left for Dead

Soul Calibur 4

Mortal Kombat vs Dc

Thanks!

I have never had Xbox Live and probably won't for another year or so, so I do not get into the COD and Halo trend like most other individuals. I personally need a good story behind every game I play, not just mindless shooting. I have never been totally absorbed by those games. However I still understand where you are coming from as my friends make little time for anything else other than Halo, Gears, COD, MOH, etc. Its a shame, people need to let a little variety in their lives, my boyfriend's father won't play anything other than the games listed above and ridicules me for playing anything otherwise.

Simply put, there are no games that should be on everyone's Christmas list, nobody likes everything and there will never be a game that everyone likes.

Both the Left for Dead games, although Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is a very close second.
