Alright we have gut all of our 360 games so far, but have played the ones i mentioned about, i'll just post my impressions of what i think of each game. I shouldn't say review because i really can't review a game i haven't completely cleared ya know?


NBA 2K6-- Let me start out by saying i hate the NBA, i can't stand the fact that alot of the people are just arrogant uneducated players who get payed to play a sport. With that being said, i just brought home my copy of NBA 2K6. Why? Because when i play it i feel like i'm watching and playing old basketball with all the strategy. Not to mention the fact that the game is friggin gorgeous, but the way it moves is what really makes it amazing. The animations of the players and the models are unreal, i still can't get over the jersey's. Normally i skip the cut scenes, now i watch them all. All in all the game is awesome, i will say that its true about the crowd and the coaches look like ass, so don't expect much, but the court and players look awesome. Viva la sweat on people.

NHL 2K6, Shortest review and its sad. NHL, my fav sport, is just 2K6 from sept with updated player models. They do look better, but its not as good as it should have been, skip it unless you dont have the xbox one and your dying for 360 version.

Condemned--By far the best game for launch IMO, immersion, graphics, voice acting is good, and fighting is awesome. If your gonna play this game though, play it on hard, medium is hard, but HARD actually makes the A.I play differently thanks to the A.I running on a seperate thread they made it run better with Hard and it seems more realistic on hard.

Madden--I hate madden ESPN NFL 2K5 is my drug. This has changed mainly because madden 06 on 360 runs and feels like 2k5 kudos to EA for letting them change the feel and control of the game entirely, but no superstar and other shit makes it harder to spend 60 bones on it.

King Kong--AWESOME, really sound system shower off'er, sounds beautiful, looks gorgeous. Personally i think its going to be short as hell, so rent it.

NFS MW-- damn i wasn't even considering this game, but i sure as hell am now, its fucken gorgeous and plays like Hot Pursuit 2, bad ass game. Probably wont buy now, but later will.

NBA Live-- is this NHL, WTF are these players skating? Why can i dunk everytime. Its a shame, cause the game looks so GOD DAMN GORGEOUS. I wouldn't recommend this game EVER.

PGR 3--- The reviews are right, game is awesome, looks amazing, shows off the 360 first gen beautifully, but only 6 tracks? WTF, personally the racing game i bought for launch.


TOMORROW i'll update with PDZ and RR6 lemme know if you want me to tell you about any others....

I never seen them and I was the first to call you out! HINT HINT ;)


LOL glad your getting to play them early i'll be playing tomorrow. :)


BTW on the original Xbox did you prefer Live 06 or 2K6??? I bought Live based on my not liking 2K6......

i personally thought live was pretty cool on xbox 1, but 2K6 just seems more realistic.

But you watch other sports? You do realize although most football players go to college, chances are they aren't exactly..... educated? Any other sport is the same deal. Gotta love ignorant people.

dunno, I'd prefer the pictures not be shown in sig, no offense. But That shit does not look good if you're browsing it at work during lunch and your boss or coworker passes by. Looksl ike you're surfing for porn.

dammit, i'm never going to let that picture down now, i shouldn't have shown it. The reason i took it down is because cheapy ask me and i said sure, another reason is because oggnog is exactly right, its not cool to have it up. I'll crop it so its just our heads lol.

Call of Duty 2 rules, i forget to post that, but i've already beaten it on my pc, it was short but man no other game makes you feel like theres so much crazy shit going on everywhere

This is coming from an EA fanboy, I love and buy Madden, Live and now MVP every year....

Sadly my first impression of Live for the 360 is damn I wish I would have just bought it for the Xbox instead of waiting all this time to get it for the 360. The XBox version is great this version not so much. :(

I'm not ready to toss it aside after one day, I'm gonna give it a couple more chances but right now my feelings are maybe next year....... :cry:

What about PDZ?

What about PDZ?

Multiplayer :drool::bouncy: is VERY FUN! Lot's of different modes, we were playing alot of "counterstrike" mode last night. You earn money by what you and your team does the round/rounds before and use that to buy guns/armor/jetpacks/etc exactly like CS. Haven't played the other modes yet just "CS" and deathmatch single and teams since I only have 1 controller were were having to take turns instead of playing splitscreen online.:cry:

does anyone know what resolution Gamestop's 360 kiosks are running at? I was playing a final version of PGR 3 at one yesterday with a friend of mine, and the cars were looking really jaggy when using the "top view". some of the buildings (we played the Vegas strip), didn't look too good either.

the systems come with 480p on if you flip the HDTV switch up, 480 if you flip it down. At my EB when i got mine in i flipped up the switch and went straight to the settings and turned on 720p. I wouldn't doubt that the jackasses that work at gamestop even know what HDTV is, but if you had jaggies it probably was 480p NFS MW looked like current gen XB running at 60fps in 480p, but in 720p looked gorgeous.

Thanks for the impressions. Was going to pass on King Kong, but from recent impressions and reviews I might rent it, or just wait til it's a budget title.
