Hello all.
Thought I'd weigh in on the new 360.
I've bought TW 2006, King Kong, Kameo, Condemned and COD 2.
I'm fairly impressed with all the titles so far putting scores around
Kameo at 8/10
Condemned 7/10
COD 2 8/10
King Kong 8/10
TW 2006 6/10
I would have scored King kong higher but when you play as kong it feels like those segments are bit rushed and not as "fleshed out" as the human play.
TW 2006 really is a gloss over of the other consoles and by not allowing you to remap the buttons (intolerable idiocy of EA) I took off a point or 2. Yet another EA disappointment (other then Burnout series I'm not much of a fan).
COD 2 is great and no real complaints haven't played PD0 yet to see which I favor but i'm sure it's close (at least in single player game).
Condemned I like but it's just abit slower then most like (myself included) nothing really original or ground breaking but still fun to play.
Kameo I really like and it's score might be higher but i have yet to finish it and don't know about the longevity yet. Quite impressed by the graphics and gameplay so far one of the best launch titles.
I've rented GUN which I enjoyed a lot it's a great little game but far to short for me to recommend buying but rent it or buy used for a fun game that does something a little different for a change.
Rented PGR3 and RR6 both which are visually impressive and somewhat fun but I prefer the unrealistic driving experiences of the burn out series which I'll wait for before buying my 1st driving game for the 360. Both are stellar games though and kudos to PGR 3 for the live content such as watching races - good show.
Some of the online games and the Hexic included on the hard drive are good little time wasters as well. Simple but fun the way games should be.
Looking forward to the many great titles coming out soon and cant wait till I can try out my new PJ Panne AE900 with the 360 when I finally get a day off (the 21st) right now it's still impressing me on the my Samsung 46" DLP but I must confess my friends 50" Sony LCD did impress me more with the detail displayed - especially noticable in TA-2006. Both TV's do display great PQ but the edge to the sony LCD IMO.
Cheers
