So besides the usual PC chores, I've retired gaming on the PC in favor of the 360, and am not disappointed yet. The graphics on the big LCD screen are not much different, even better on some games; gaming in my La-z-boy with controller instead of a keyboard and mouse is definitely more fun; and overall I am enjoying it much more.

Now some of this could be because all I played on the PC were MMOs and these don't exist on the 360. My multi-year MMO-burnout has contributed greatly. Mostly I needed change and coming back to the 360 after not playing it for so long has been an awesome relief. Lotsa new games I've been exploring and playing, lots of new fun over Xbox Live, and tons of new stuff I didn't realize I missed so much about the 360. Live is simply awesome and games are great. Plus, I'm limiting myself to hit games from awhile ago which are now a steal and loving every minute of it.

So gaming myself to death on the 360 here are a few games I've been playing: Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 5, Left 4 Dead, Conan, Bioshock, Army of Two, Call of Duty 5, The Darkness, The Orange Box, lots of Arcade games, and a few more I can't remember. And I haven't even begun to attack the games in my son's room; who never gave up playing the 360 and inherited mine permanently after I stopped playing. Now there are 2 360s in our house.

Oh, btw, playing on Live with the son is a big plus.
