The only reason I have a 360 is because a friend was cool enough to buy me one, then let me pay him back in a few chunks.



I used to play on the pc but haven't for years. A few years ago I was supposed to have hernia surgery. I was told by everyone that I'd be couchbound for a couple of weeks, so I stocked up on books, DVDs and bought a PS2 and some games off CL for like $50. Pretty well hooked me on the console thing. When the thing crapped out, I took an assload of books to the store and got store credit to buy a 360. I never buy games new, tho. Ebay is my friend there. My only complaint is you can't stream YouTube. But beyond that, it's a darn fine console.

Latest purchases have been Left 4 Dead 2, Bloodstorm and Homefront. I like 1st person shooters.


I like any game that's fun. I prefer open-world types recently, as I get anywhere from 40-200 hours of play out them. Red Dead Redemption and the resurrected Fallout series are some of my recent faves by a longshot. I prefer sci-fi and story-driven FPS over the military stuff. I also enjoy a good JRPG, but they are a dying breed that's been mostly relegated to the Nintendo DS. I just finished up Castlevania LOS, Singularity, and Borderlands on 360, and Golden Sun 3 + Radiant Historia on the DS. Right now I'm playing Arkham City on the 360 and Dragonquest VI on the DS.

Without going on a gushing gaming fan-boy tangent, let me just say that Arkham City is one of the most amazing games I've ever had the privilege to play, and this is coming from a guy who could really give two shits about Batman.

Conq and PD, I don't know what kind of setup you guys are sporting or if you guys even give a shit about this game, but apparently the Nvidia GeForce GTX with the PhysX shit turned on makes the game look sweet as fuck.
