  3rd Xbox 360

  I finally came round to getting together the money to buy a 360, I'm pleased I did it though, the online has come along a lot since I sold mine and the new dashboard is nice to. I bought the arcade version for $200 from Gamestop, I didn't have the money then and there for a premium but I'll buy a hard drive and headset pretty soon anyway. I only really want one game right now and it's skate 2, in about a week or so I should have that.

  I got a new tv for my room which is one of the reasons why I bought the 360 so I have it hooked up via HDMI to my 22" Samsung HD LCD tv. I then have my ethernet cable running from my 360 to my macbook which has let me get on live which is nice, Idefinitelywon't be spending money on a wireless adapter now anyway. I downloaded this connect360 application for my mac to which is nice because it lets me view my pictures, videos and music really easy through the cable, I downloaded the torrent to so I didn't have to pay the $20, I think I've saved myself a bit of money today haha.

  I also recovered my gamertag so add me on live at MX Gurl please

  Within the next two weeks I'm hoping to have skate 2, a gold membership and a headset and then the next thing after that will be my hard drive. So yeah I haven't been on here for a while but I thought I'd let people know to add me and such.

  Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway

  I picked up brothers in arms hells highway from best buy for $20 on black friday. I've been reading reviews and scores in magazines and online and they didn't do to well, this was probably down to the fact that there was no chance of Brothers in Arms competing with Call of Duty in the world war 2 game to buy. Because of this Brothers in Arms has been overlooked. For $20 it was an amazing buy. Okay the guns aren't as good as Call of Duty, nor the graphics or general gameplay, however the game itself is still good, just because it doesn't quite compete with call of duty 5 in this aspect of the game it doesn't mean that it's a bad game. The story mode lasts a long time, and sometimes takes multiple plays of the same chapter to finally complete it. The whole team mate system is what brothers in arms is famous for; the cinematics are excellent and the story mode is deeply engaging. I've had the last two brothers in arms games before this so I know how the story goes. This is what brothers in arms excells in and for $20 I'm really glad I bought it. I haven't tried online yet because I'm pretty tied up with COD 5 online but I'll get to it soon enough.

  I'm also contemplating a 360 at christmas because they are really cheap now and I want something for my bedroom. I'm keeping the Ps3 downstairs and it will always be my primary system however a 360 would be nice for games like Gears of War 2. Any other games suggestions for a 360?
