For zombies: bats and edged weapons are your best friends. Also, be sure to get the mini-chainsaws and the books that make them THE MOST POWERFUL ITEMS IN THE WORLD.
ag – I’ve got Xbox Live, I’ll be throwing up my Gamercard here soon along with my gamertag. I’ve transferred my Live account over to the 360, so I’m good to go.
I haven’t found the mini-chainsaws yet but I have found the auger in the hardware store. That made me laugh for hours.
FS – sorry man, I still love my Gamecube, but the time was right. I’ll get a Wii on launch, I promise.
Salesman – Don’t see it as me being a traitor. Look at it like I’m open minded. Just giving the 360 a chance, that’s all.
The 360 pwnz all. Glad to see you got Dead Rising, I think it’s an excellent take on the whole “zombie horror” type game. The lack of savegame spots is kind of annoying but I just restart the game when I die and begin with a higher level.
Here are some of my favorites on the 360 to check out:
Saint’s Row – like GTA:SA but bettah. Kameo – best platformer I’ve played since Jak 1. Tomb Raider Legend – short but very very sweet. Burnout Revenge – best racing game I’ve ever played. Condemened: Criminal Origins – scary as hell, very disturbing, but somehow, compelling. Far Cry Instincts Predator – decent graphics, good gameplay, has a lot of variety in how to go through it, plus it’s lengthy. Perfect Dark Zero – kind of an average shooter but it’s so cheap now you have to try it.
For Xbox Live Arcade I highly recommend Geometry Wars, and the Cloning Clyde is also pretty cool. Uno is a great beer and pretzels kind of game. So far I haven’t been too wowed by the tretro arcade games, they just don’t do enough to expand the gameplay as much as they could (or graphics or anything). Basically if I can get the same thing on MAME then I see no reason to spend my Microsoft points on it.
Ahh, that\’s the crazy clown, right? Yeah, I\’m in no shape to take him down yet. I just barely hit level 6 and the clown beat me down. I\’ll be giving him another chance soon.
Knight – thanks for the list, I\’ll be giving a couple of those a try real soon.
[...] So it’s been a little over a week now since a new Xbox 360 has taken up residence in the spot formerly occupied by the original Xbox. So far — it’s been McDonald’s. I’m lovin’ it. A few initial impressions with the system: [...]
You used to blow into your NES cartridges to make them work (even though it was probably nothing more than the Placebo Effect). Now you can make some sweet music with your very own Custom Nintendo Super Mario 3 Harmonica!—Tony [Comment]
The Blur beta started today on the 360, and yours truly was able to score a code. Let me say this: Think Burnout Paradise + licensed cars + Mario Kart - annoying powerup randomness + the leveling mechanic of Call of Duty = the best online racing experience I've ever had. I knew this just fifteen minutes in. Each race is about 5 minutes long and is intense, pretty, and wonderful throughout the entire course. If they make no major changes in the negative, this is a must buy. Now to get it on PS3 or 360?

I think this is the end is near for Blockbuster.
Not only are they bringing back late fees, which nobody likes, but they are raising the prices of old releases to 5$. Wow. I thought that they were circling the toilet before.

Haha. Just one more step my padawan.
Xbox Live.

Take out Adam the clown on the Wonderland ride.
