Unless we are two of a kind, I think everyone got Joust and Frogger. Pretty lame if you ask me. I was eyeing Assault Heroes and Castlevania when it comes out, as well as Uno, but if I get live vision that comes with it. If anyone wants to trade codes because they got a different game (although I'm guessing everyone got Joust and Frogger), post and I'll give you my AIM (I hate PMs)
I play shooters and sports games exclusively with the exception of Diablo 2 for PC. I had heard many people compare the character development and combat of the two, so I bought Oblivion last week. I hate most RPGs more than anything, especially ones with folk music and a "Ye Olde" setting, but I am having trouble bringing myself to put the Gears disc in and pull Oblivion out when I get an invite. If you think you have the time (or maybe even if you don't, because you will end up making time) get this game. It is probably the greatest non-shooting game I have ever played, unless MGS doesn't count since it is primarily third person.
Wow so in December I signed up for the Microsoft rewards program where if you bought an Xbox after a certain day in september and had an Xbox Live silver account, you would get codes for two free games by February 15. Well today I got the email I had been anxiously awaiting. For some reason I was actually stupid enough to believe I would be able to download any two games I wanted, or maybe any two 400pt games. Well, the email gives me a code for frogger and a code for joust. Not at all what I was expecting. I wonder if it is even worth my time to enter all the digits in.
Everything you listed sounds fun, but unless you are horrible at every genre of game or can't afford $50 a year (not that much when you think about it) you are doing yourself a disservice. It's like getting a Wii but only playing with the classic controller. Sure, VA and the games that don't use the Wiimote are fun and make it worth your $250, but what are you missing?
U guys I found a secret compartment for UMD's on the back of the PSP. I'm just waiting for something to play these games on, but until then my PSP can keep them safe.
1. Host advantage may exist, but it doesn't ruin a game. Every game that requires twitch reflexes has some kind of host advantage. It is for the most part probably in your head.
2. What will you play now? Other than Vegas and maybe Lost Planet, there aren't many good online shooters on the 360 that anyone plays. I'm not saying that the flaws you listed like unbalanced weapons and host advantage are ok, but you can't do better anywhere else on the 360, maybe the PC (actually definitely the PC)
iTunes store sucks (as well as most online music). It is restricted so you can't play it anywhere but your iPod or computer without a CD to put it on. If you want to just be really roundabout, Audacity works for Macs I think. Just hit record and then play the song in iTunes and save as WAV. It will take a while.
I played my friend's copy and I really just didn't like anything about it. I have the PS2 version and during football season probably played 5+ hours a week. I would prefer that they just give us the same game the last-gen consoles get with nice graphics, or at least let us emulate the Xbox version.
