If they want more people in the living room (reminds me of a certain someone who said that before, starts with R, e, g, g... Oh wait!), they need more 4 player split-screen games! It sucks when the only game I can play with my friends is Halo 3, which is still good, but you get the point. I guess graphics are too demanding now. :(

For the new Xbox Experience itself, it's looking pretty nice! I still dislike the themes though, they should have at least make the bottom part half-transparent or something.

 

 I agree we need more variety. Are you refering to 4player split screen + system link? Halo & Ghost Recon are our only choices and they do take quite a grapical hit. If its just 4 player split screen COD 4 is my favorite.

I kinda like the new layout for the dashboard but the avatars are just Meh.

 

Well, system link is also a pain in the ass because I'm certainly not expecting my friends to bring their box here at my house! It could be useful if I think about doing a LAN system, but when playing casually, it's a pain to set-up. I've heard developers saying that 4-player split-screen is ''last gen,'' but to me it's still a very important feature. Thanks god some of them still see the light! xD



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Oh well, guess it's for those Xbots to be happy.

 

 Ooo, I sense anger. Don't worry, the PS3 is getting home, and I'm sure ninty will update the Wiis looks too.

Anger?  None from me, I was just simply saying that people who enjoy the 360 will probably enjoy it.  I just don't see it as amazing =/

 



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Any change is good, plus the current dashboard's been there since three years .. and it still the BEST software this gen!

When I lived in Idaho I had a buddy with 2 big screens. we used to do 8 player lan parties at his house every weekend it was a blast. Only problem was we were limited to Halo 3 or GR if we all wanted to play in the same game. A lot of times we just had 2 seperate games of COD 4 going Halo gets old. I wish they would do more split screen system link games.

well the style of system it uses is just like xmb on the ps3, in it does away with blades and its just clicking in new slides which is the best way.

so the menue should be more nippy to navigate like the ps3 xmb.

how much is the netflix subsciption?



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

Sweet Netflix =)

NXE helps find stuff easier.

Netflix is nice...

Avatars and such won't change my gaming in any drastic ways so I don't really care. I will just choose a stock one and that will be it...

Mii's, Home, 360 avatars are really just a way to waste time if you don't have any good games to play.

Not excited what so ever for this. Im going to stick with the old look and if I can just keep my gamerpic and screw the dumb avatar. Typically I would be very mad about this, but my 360 since about March has only been turned on for Rock Band, so I dont see the dashboard more then it takes me to get to play game at the bottom.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
