In case you forgot, I have an Xbox360 now.

I'm beginning to understand how people can devote so much of their lives to gaming. Left 4 Dead is pretty horrifying and exciting, even if I'm not very good at first person shooters just yet. I keep forgetting to walk and look at the same time, the look part is especially difficult. But I'm slowly getting the hang of it. H is helping me a lot. I imagine he's pretty shocked that I'm playing shooter games in the first place.

I've been checking out other games I might want. I'm sort of curious to see what Tetris is like in the Xbox360 since they have it. I also want the singing game (called Lips) and Scene It. Those would be awesome for parties.

Probably I should get a gaming icon, for when I post about the Xbox and the Wii. I know, right? I'm a super gamer.

Anybody wanna be Xbox buddies?
I'm Lwednes, although I should have been El Wednes, I just didn't think of it in time.

Sweet!

Although, you won't want me in your party until I can play better and stop shooting my teammates.

That is super cool.
Of course the Wii is going to get jealous.

MUAHAHAHA!

I recommend Metacritic for game reviews.. you get a good cross section sort of like Rotten Tomatoes

Lips is rated higher than the American Idol game, but the AI game has fewer reviews. I might still recommend Rock Band 2 and the Microphone. It gives you the ability to upgrade over time. You could play now doing the vocals and add a guitar later or something. And you could be in a band over live and do vocals and not even need the other instruments. Of course I could go on about the xbox for hours and hours, blah blah. :)

I've been looking over the singing games to see which one is best for me. Lips has where you can download songs from Live, plus it has a bunch of songs I would love to sing.

I don't just want to sing, I want to sing against my friends.

Oh, I'll have to rectify that this evening, when I get hometo my photo software. :-)

LOL

That would be nice.

But you have a Mii on your Wii....

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-12-02 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha!

Actually, the Xbox lets you make something like a Mii as well.

Oops, forgot last night. Will make during lunch today.

One thing that an Xbox 360 is GREAT for but that few people actually do is playing AVI files. I fill a USB thumb drive with a movie or DL'd TV shows and plug it into the box and lo, I am Entertained.

(And I know just what AVI you'll want to start with.)

Neat. I actually translate avi files for my iPod, but it'd be nice to watch them big.

I've heard about that show from some UK people on my flist. I've been meanning to check it out but didn't know where to get it, so thanks!!
