You'll get a month of Live just for creating an account.  Take that timme to decide if it's worth it for you.  In the meantime, try the demos of:

 

  • Shadow Complex (the best Metroid game since 1994)
  • Splosion Man (my favorite 2D platformer this gen)
  • The Maw (unique and family friendly fun)
  • Kingdom of Keflings/World of Keflings (I can't explain but it is insanely addicting)
  • Limbo (if mind bending games like Braid are your thing...)
  • Geometry Wars (a pure gaming experience)
  • Commanders Attack (Pretty much like Advance Wars 360)
  • Comic Jumper (if this game doesn't make you laugh, you're dead)
Some gems you may have missed are Ninja Blade, Ace Combat, Alan Wake,Dead Rising 1, GeoW2, Trouble in Paradise, Splinter Cell Conviction, or Lost Odyssey.  I'm looking forward to seeong your impressions of the console, the online, and the games!

 


Ah, a month free when you create a new account... What if I wanted to use my existing account from PC? Seems I may just be better starting afresh (again -- I've been through three accounts on PC already, silly GfWL) if that's the only way to try Live free for a month.

As for the games: the XBLA games you mention are all on my list to consider, so good shout there (and it further enforces that they will suit me in my mind). The full games, however, I have a two queries on:

Ninja Blade: Say what? Good, bad, brilliant? What sort of game is this?

Trouble in Paradise: See Ninja Blade.

Beyond that, I'm sure I'll post an impression thread in about a month, once everyone has had a proper go of the console and opinions have sunk in properly. I'm now quietly excited. :D
