To be honest I really didn't like Halo 2 when it first came out, so I didn't buy it...my friend did and I played around with it but I wasn't pleased...they took away all the fun of driving the warthog, feels much different than in the original Halo, and I still don't like some of the new weapons, but I suppose I'll have to pick it up sometime and play it if I plan on playing Halo 3/buying a 360 sometime in the future. As for the 360, its amazing, the graphics and especially the controllers are much to my liking

i've already preordered really no reason to get a 360 unless you have an HDTV. the xbox really pulls it's own in the standard def world.

Games aren't always just about the graphics. Are you saying the 360 has nothing additional to offer in terms of titles, gameplay, online gaming and design over the xbox? If the only reason to own it is because it looks pretty I can't see spending the money. (Read: I really want one but it's not just because the games look cooler.)

well... they are new games for it that are great. project gotham and gears of war are two of the most satisfying games i've ever played. graphical immersion goes a good way towards that.

the 360 is amazing and cheaper than the PS3, xbox is bringing more and more titles on board everyday bringin it closer to sony, and the live capability is top notch. you loose alot in terms of xbox 360 is you have a larger tv without high def. 360 is def a great system. And Shortly, Microsoft is going to stop producing titles for the xbox. I see no difference in xbox live, except for the market place, but Inever use that anyway. In gameplay the new controller configuration is better IMO and the upcomming titles will shit on anything you can get for the OG Xbox as far as graphics are concerned IMO.
Halo 3, the graphics are amazing, and from what i have read that halo 3 trailer isnt a cut scene but the actual gameplay graphics engine. And from the gears of war gameplay graphics it is possible. Im sopumped about halo 3 and forza 2

Otherwise you might as well just stick with the regular xbox. 360 is by far the best entertainment purchase I've made in a long time. I enjoy every second I waste in front of that thing, and with the setup I have at home it is perfect. CoD3, when I crank up my sound system seriously makes you feel like you're in the middle of a war. That's one thing that I've come to appreciate about the quality of the 360; the graphics and sound really immerse you in the game experience. When I'm playing NFS: Carbon, drifting down the mountain runs racing against someone else, it seriously elevates your blood pressure. If you're sweating after playing a game, you know it's good =D I'm actually thinking about picking up a Wii just because of that new DragonBall Z game that's coming out. I'm not a huge fan of the series, but the way you fight in that game with the controllers looks like it would be hella fun.

Like for a Kamehameha attack, you bring both controllers up under your right armpit then thrust them forward like you're throwing a Ryu-style fireball. The guy on the screen charges up for as long as you hold it back, then when you let go he blasts it!!! Lol it looks sweet.

It must be the ricer in me, but I love the NFS games haha... traditional, more realistic racer games tend to bore me really quickly, unless it's the type in the arcade where you sit down and it feels like a real car.
Psh, I started Gears on Hardcore, man up son!!! =P Yah let's play real soon, we need to get an MM team going.

I suck at the canyon duels too...that game went from stupid easy to stupid hard very quickly
12-29-2006, 05:40 PM
I haven't played around with it enough to beat it. I've conquered all the territory and just started the boss races. I do have an SLR though, it's fuckin baller!!! Kitted, black chrome paint with black chrome 21" wheels, slammed y0.
I went straight with the exotics, didn't want to fuck around with the imports or muscle cars =P Modded, juiced SLR for the win! I'll let ya know when I get to the Audi guy, I just haven't had time between playing that, CoD3, Fight Night 3, and now we just got one of the Burger King games Sneak King so I'm gonna session that too hahaha
