Just Got An Xbox 360 For Christmas. :(

I wish I could buy an Xbox in my country, damn . Though that red ring of death thing would make me hesitate. Is there a similar problem with the PS3?

Nah, not unless you're in the desert playing your PS3 in a sauna with a towel wrapped around it.

Haha, alright man, thanks. This relative of mine was asking me if he should buy a PS3 so I wasn't sure if I should give him the green light. I am now though

What the... You're serious? You can't buy an Xbox?

Dead serious man, and a PS3 is hard to find as well. Thing is, the standards here are kinda low (if minimal wage in the US is 7$ per hour, here is 7% per shift) so buying original games is basically out of the question. Plus, Amazon for example doesn't ship video games to here, and there are only 2 stores for original CDs (which probably wouldn't sell games either) and they pump the prices even more because of their own shipping payments (musical CDs are about 2-3 times the prize). So what I'm saying is that consoles are bad business, especially without xbox live coverage and shit like that. I guess I could buy one online but the customs prize would be ridiculous and without a servicing option, things don't look good.

Damn, that's tough man... I mean, not having an Xbox isn't a "real" problem if you know what I mean, but I really feel sorry for you. So you have stores who sell video games but the price is really high? Games are pretty expensive in stores here too. About $100 for a new consol game, with some exceptions.

Haha, yeah man. Though it's not that big of a problem because I have an excellent PC, plus an Xbox 360 controller (it's actually Logitech F510 but it functions as such) and free games due to cracks so I get all the gaming I need. However, a console and an HD TV, plus friends on the other controller is something I would like.

That's nice!

Yeah, playing online is real fun

Definitely man, and yeah I can't play online with cracked games but at least I get the most from what I can.

Yeah! I'd pick playing singleplayer over online if I hade to pick just one! What kind of games do you like and play?

My favorite ones are those from the 3rd person perspective such as GTA and Arkham City, and then it's shooters like Crysis and CoD. As for sports games, I only play NBA2K but I'd also play some NFL if they were available for the PC. What about you?

I freaking love the Batman games. I play a lot of different games. Only sports game I play is FIFA btw. But I love RPG's. Like the more classic ones like Final Fantasy etc. As for FPS I like Battlefield (gotta support my fellow Swedes!) but I enjoy CoD as well.

That's cool, and I love RPG games but I dislike those set in a medieval surrounding so to say. I prefer something like WoW or The Old Republic, but even the single player ones have too many things going on and they're too long so I may lose interest. In other words, I guess I love them in theory but not so much in practice.

And yeah, the Batman games are incredible and flawless. I'm very glad that the main characters (voice actors) are from Batman TAS cause that's how things should get done.

Portal 2 is Game of The Year for me.

The brilliant writing (Both dialogue and story), the witty characters (GLaDOS, Wheatley) and the amazing level design make for one hell of a experience.

It's basically just a puzzle game where you enter one level after another until you finish it. But the levels are complex and well-though out. When you enter a level it may seem hard as first, but when you think and figure it out it makes you feel like a genius. So satisfying.

You can mess around in a level and you can have alot of fun doing so. Great soundtrack as well. The comedy is brilliant (through the dialouge). The problem with the game is the lack of reply value. Once you figure out how to solve the puzzle thats it. Unless you wait for a long time till you forget the puzzle.

It's one of those games where you have to played it in order to get what I'm saying.

I'm not a big fan of Batman: Arkham City. The stealth is nice, but it kinda got old for me after awhile. Maybe the fact that I wasn't playing them in a good mood played a factor in not enjoying the game much. I'll play it again when I get in the mood.



@Slim Fiasco - You play Donkey Kong games?
