I haven't had much time to spend with my beloved 360, for several reasons recently, but last night I got to sit down and play what I wanted to when I wanted to. It was pretty sweet.

Right now I'm playing Army of Two and CSI: Hard Evidence on the 360. If you check my Gamertag you'll probably see Rock Band and Halo 3 on there. I don't play those, my brother plays Halo 3 and my sister plays Rock Band. I'm sick of both but being the generous person I am, I will let them play when they can. If you see the Arcade games on the list those are usually me, but I'm often distracted by my son, or don't have much time to play when I turn those on.

So Army of Two... I put this on my Gamefly right after it came out and moved it up because a friend of mine at worked said he loved it. Well he is not me, so far I think it is stupid. There are a lot of really cool things in it. Mostly I enjoy upgrading my weapons and armor. Even that feature is hindered though because some options are arbitraily locked until you reach a certain point in the game, even though I have enough money now. The main reason I don't like it is because it is in 3rd person and is a horrible 3rd person at that. In single player, or online co-op, it isn't so bad, but in split-screen you can barely see around your own charater on the scree. I personally feel this game was better suited for a 1st person perspective. Another problem that bothers me is close combat. If you run up at a guy there is no button to melee them. If you time a trigger press just right your character will hit them, but normally you just end up shooting (and not killing them even though you're point blank) and then they hit you to the floor. Its annoying. I'll keep playing this game, but it doesn't live up to the fun my friends were hyping it up to be.

Then there is CSI. You might find it strange but I actually like this game. It is horribly easy and has the simplest gameplay I've ever seen on the 360. Mostly you just visit crim schenes and look around for evidence then click on them using the thumbstich like a mouse. While it is simple the game feels like playing through different episodes of CSI. Now, I never watch CSI, but I like a little TV now and then, and really what more can you ask for in a TV show based game? I plan to complete it today and send it back to Gamefly. As a renta, I think CSI:Hard Evidence is a big success. If you don't like CSI or Gamerscore then you might not share my opinions.

On a final note I downloaded the demo of Galage Legions and loved it. I'm thinking of getting the full game, but not sure quite yet.
