I got myself a lil 360 today 8) I had one preordered on play.com since late november, but that was rat piss so I cancelled that and got one in Game today.
I must say, Im very impressed. Ive got Perfect Dark Zero and Project Gotham 3 and they both look superb. The reflections and lighting in PDZ is phenomenal, and it all goes so smoothly! The cars in PGR3... ahhh! Beautiful, and the in car view is neat as, NEAT AS! I say. However, I dont agree with that about fast load times, loading a race or a deathmatch takes ages on mine :/ All i need now is an HDTV.

Have you got Xbox Live? If you do, I could give you a game.
My Live ID is 'captain crumb'.
Oh, by the way. If you do have Xbox live, I seriously recommend downloading the Fight Night Round 3 demo. It is stunning.

I picked one up last week.
Not overly impressed with the games :/ (especially for £50!!!).
Perfect Dark: Zero, isn't that great
. It looks nice, but the gameplay is lame, sometimes I find I'm not actually enjoying it! Sneaking just doesn't work and all the AI does is run at you, I want to be able to toy with it, just like in Halo .
Condemned however, is awesome. As I said in the Shoutbox last week, I just sat down and played it, and it scared the bejesus out of me. Remember the Cathedral in Thief I? The orphanage in Thief III? It's like that all the time *shudder*, plus the last boss is so satisfyingly gory I killed him twice just to show my mates!
Kong... crashed my 360...
Hexic!!!! W00t! My god this game can be played for hours!!! (If you're not sure what it is, it's the free arcade game on the harddrive).
Anyone tried Xbox Live? I thought my gamerpoints where for purchasing new content, not penis comparisons. If I've already paid £50 for a game why should I have to pay even more for extra content?!?!?
One last thing, the remote controllers rock! Even though I had to change my undies several times while playing Condemned, the buttons above the triggers are a right pain! I rest my forefinger just above the triggers and when I tense up it pushes down, this wasn't a problem on the old ones, but now it does stuff! The amount of times I set of my taser accidentally.
Oh, not having to get up to switch on/off the console is a lazy mans paradise.
EDIT:
Testuo I'm on the old Live, go by the name of Piacular.

I know what you mean about Perfect Dark, kinda. I wouldnt exactly call the gameplay 'lame', but It was far eclipsed by the gameplay in the original Perfect Dark, somehow. Although I do think the excellent graphics and soundtrack made up for it, and the secondary fire on the P90 is so damn cool. <3
And like I said, try Fight Night Round 3 demo and you WILL be impressed.
EDIT: Oh yeah. if you liked the arcade games then try Geometry Wars II : Evolved. Project Gotham 3 has a free trial built into one of the garages, but you can download it from live as well. Its pretty neat.

Hmmmm, hmmmm. Im still not happy mate but Ill let you away with it lol.
Im going to bag Battlefield 2 on the 360 I reckon, it looks rather good. Itll be especially beast with the ole Xbox Live. Its a shame I dont have time to play much of these games any more. Full time work, blargh.

I don't think I've ever believed graphics and sound can take the place of good gameplay. They can only ever enhance it, but if there's not much there to enhance, then you don't have a good game.
Don't forget that some of the most popular games ever have been ones like Pacman and Space Invaders. P*ss poor graphics (in fact almost qualifies as no graphics at all
), but thoroughly enjoyable games nonetheless. I don't know how well they'd do these days though.Wraith

Very true, I still love games on the old consoles, absolutly shit, blocky graphics, but man are they fun to play

Hang on to your socks. I wasnt saying it could take the place, I was saying that they are quite mind blowingly cool, and Ill forgive them for not managing to make the gameplay as good as it could have been.
Dont open that whole 'gameplay > graphicsZor lololzzzz' can of worms again. It does my nut in.

Oh... my... gawd!
Some of us have just finished messing with Geometry Wars II: Evolved, that game is AWESOME!!! It's so pretty, I can't concentrate on playing, I'm just looking at the amazing colours!
I'd also recommend Mutant Storm, these games rock!
That's a big thumbs up from the Canterbury Crew!
