My first game console
Yesterday, I finally purchased my first game console (thanks GWB). After a tremendous amount of research and thought, I decided to purchase an XBox 360. Of course, I considered the Wii, but the lack of HDTV output nixed me on that console. The PS3 supported Blu-ray, but this was not compelling enough to justify the price difference for me. With the console, I bought Tiger Woods 2008. I’d enjoyed earlier versions of this game on a PC, but the display and game play on the 360 is absolutely stunning. Wow!
Anyways, are there other games I should be looking at? Rock Band is on my list of games to get, but I was also thinking about Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. I want to be careful to not get sucked in and play too much. I really like to play games that I can sit down with for an hour or two, and then walk away.
Not a big fan of FPS shooters on the 360 — too many years on the PC to deal with the complete lack of precise control.
I’m a big fan of the racing games though, particularly Forza Motorsports 2 and Dirt.
