OK guys, first off i wanted to thank you all for the help. Theres definetly some great suggestions in here!

EIther Bioshock or dead space are probably up next. Possibly RE5 depending if i can get used to the controls. While i said i prefer shooters on the Wiimote, ive heard WAY to much good stuff about Bioshock to pass it up. Fable 2 and Oblivion are totally on the way too.

My first impression was that "Damn this thing is loud!". At first i thought there was something wrong with it because it was a relativly loud system, but now i pretty much dont even notice it. The graphics are pretty sweet and i like all the bells and whistles it offers(Netflix, the marketplace, etc.). A part of me wishes it was a little easier to find everything I.E. the Wiis simpler interface, but like i said i appreciate all the other things it does so it still comes out ahead there.

As far as dead rising goes.... what began as the most irritating game ive ever played is turning into a pretty fun sandbox title. a part of me still wishes i waited to check out the Wii version to see if the aiming and structure of that one would make it more fun. who knows, maybe ill try both!!

Anyways, its been a worthwhile purchase already as its been a lot of fun and i noticed that two days in and im already trying to unlock achievements. that really is a genius system! i can tell already its going to extend the replay value of my games!! thanks again everyone for all the help!

 

Remember ALL xbla games have demos available... geo wars 2, castle crashers, braid, Rez:HD, bionic commando, Ikaruga... lot's of stuff there.
