Suprised to see Godfather getting ported. I may have to give it a try.
I'm assuming these aren't all launch titles, but what, probably within the first 3-4 months?

What are the notable releases for the 360 this Christmas?
Hopefully Nintendo will stagger out it's releases, and provide plenty of action on the VC to counteract the post launch drought.

Well Bill, do we have the game to change your mind...
Lolicon Sports-Race of War!
From the makers of Hello Kitty and Doom, comes the harrowing tale of an underage Japanese space marine girl. Play the game as she rides her tricked out sports car down the field to score points with the ball! Coordinate a win with your teammates over a barren, war-torn football field then use the prize money to upgrade your sweet ride! Watch out for the deadly lolis and mutant space monsters! Unlock Tiku Tiku mode where you can hit the soft part of the transvestitie for massive damage! Careful fighting the boss, you might get tied up and have icecream spilled all over you!
Coming soon to the xbox360, PS3, PS2, PSP and PC. Published by EA.
much love to Bill and matchoor video games!

I wouldn't pay full price for it based on my playthrough of the PC Demo. I have not played multiplayer so I can't comment on that.
There are some cool things in the demo, you have a pipe wrench for a melee weapon, an alien bio rifle that can zoom in, and a gun that shoots either hot or cold, depending what spaceship orifice you reload it at.
About halfway through the demo you also get a spirit ability and then you can leave your body and fire a bow and arrow. It made for some clever puzzles.
There are also sensors you shoot to change the gravity (ceiling becomes floor, etc) and portals to hop through.
One cool bit had you go through a portal and then you were shrunk down on a mini planet in glass case in the room.
Keep in mind the game is very demanding. I first tried it on an Athlon64 3000+ with 1gb RAM and GF6600 Video card and it ran slow. I then played it through on a Athlon64 FX55 and an ATI X1900 and it was smooth with the settings maxed.
But back to the 360, anyone else have opinions on it so far?

I've played through the prey demo on the PC, the graphics are amazing and there are some clever game play elements (such as changing gravity) but the alien enviroments were unpleasant and got old for me.

« on: July 11, 2006, 10:06:20 AM »
A buddy was going out of town this week and he was kind enough to let me borrow his 360 while he is away. I was a little apprehensive about borrowing the system for fear of it dying with the red circle of death that I hear so much about.
I've tried the 360 at demo stations, but I could finally get a better feel for the system at home to see if I wanted to go the Wii60 route. Anyways, I hooked the 360 up to a TV running at 480p and got on Xboxlive.
First, the games. He had 3 games for the system so far: Oblivion, Burnout, and PGR.
Oblivion I have already played on the PC and wasn't impressed with the game. Maybe if I spent a few more hours playing it would get interesting.
Burnout is as fun as always, the graphics look nice. I'm not a big fan of racing games, but I liked Burnout. Overall, not a much different experience than playing it on the original xbox.
Project Gotham Racing Haven't tried it yet.
Wanting to get a better taste of what the 360 offered I downloaded some demos off of the Live Marketplace (btw, these things are big! the demos ranged from 400 to 1gb in size. Makes me wonder if the 512 storage is nearly enough on the Wii...)
Kameo Meh, it's pretty but average. Reminds me of StarFox adventures.
Call of Duty 2 I don't like fps on consoles, but this was decent, in a WW2-shooter-I've-played-a-dozen-times-already kind of way.
Tomb Raider Legend It was good, played very similar to the original Tomb Raider. Not a game I would pay full price for on any platform though.
Rumble Roses Crap. bad controls, stiff animations, confusing menu system.
Perfect Dark Zero Ugh. stiff controls, and the graphics were very plain. COD2 is the better FPS on the 360.
Condemned Now this game I like! great atmosphere and graphics. I may get this for the PC.
Geometry Wars Fun asteroids clone, one of the better games I tried on the 360.
PROS:
You can turn the console on and off with the controller.
The Blade interface was cool for a GUI junky like me.
CONS:
Price. Between the premium console, an extra controller, 3 games and a charging unit, my buddy sunk about $650 into this game console. ouch!
Lack of games I want to play. 80% of the lineup seems to be FPS, racing or sports games.
I may check it out again after some games I want to try come out, such as Dead Rising, Bioshock, and Alan Wake. Until then it will probably be Wii only for me.

I spent some time llooking around the internet and watching the various off screen videos of people playing at E3 (youtube has several) Everyone's movement seemed very smooth and natural with the shooting parts, but the sword fighting looked stiff and appeared to have a slight delay.
It's hard to tell the quality of the graphics from those videos, but the gameplay seemed solid.

But seriously, I liked the review. It was funny and Ty should write more stuff for PGC. I would give this game a shot if I currently had access to a PS2.
