I played a 360!

November 6th, 2005 by Will | Posted in Uncategorized |

Yesterday, LL and I went to Masonville Mall in London, Ontario to do some shopping Harry potter and the half blood prince download. When I stepped into Electronics Boutique, what did I see but an Xbox 360! Unforutnately it was still wrapped up and not plugged in. Apparently they just got it on that day, but it would be set up today.

    <br />
    It won't take you too many guesses to figure out what I did today, I headed over to
    Masonville again and played myself some 360. The kiosk had Kameo, Call of Duty 2 and
    King Kong playable. I was quite impressed by the graphics on all three games and the
    controller is quite sweet. I was thinking of getting Kameo on launch day, but now
    I'll likely wait for the reviews. The control scheme was quite weird, and probably
    will take a lot of getting used to. Call of Duty is beautiful, but I'm not much of
    a WWII game fan so I'm passing on that. King Kong looks interesting, but I had no
    idea what I should be doing in the game so I didn't play for long.<br />
    <br />
    My original Xbox is really starting to die on me. I played Ninja Gaiden today for
    about an hour, the save points are very far apart in that game so I hadn't save for
    a while. Just when I was getting close to being able to save, the Xbox tells me, "Your
    disk may be dirty or damaged" damn! So I lost all of the progress that I made.&nbsp;
    This problem has been hapening a lot ever since I moved back to London. Something
    must have gotten jostled inside of the Xbox that screwed up the DVD drive.<br />
    <br />
    I really hope that the 360 will be backwards compatable with most of my Xbox games.
    I look forward to when Microsoft finally announces which games will work. That way
    I can just trade in my Xbox and play all of my games on my brand new Xbox 360.<br />
    <br />
    I sure am looking forward to November 22!<br />
