  Survey says.......

  I am the new owner of a tv and computer. This weekend I purchased a 32" Vizio Plasma for gaming and a 24" I mac computer. I am soo excited. Whick makes me wonder what my associates at GS use.

  Current tv set up?

  Current computer?

  Game and rig?

  Set up linking, etc?

  Any advice on getting it all in sync with my 360? I saw somewhere a program to run 360 with an apple. What other ideas do you have. I use direct tv with a dvr, imac will have a ati card.

  Game Grades

  I know grading is a hot topic. I of course do not expect all scores to be the same but I would anticipate them to be in the same ballpark. With that said I am getting really confused. The two sites I use the most to determine my purchases are Gamespot and Xplay on G4.

  They scored Star Wars the Force Unleased 7.5 and 2 stars of five respectively. I equate that to 75% and 40%. Now how does the average gamer use that to determine purchases. It seems that I am seeing this variance way more than in the past. It is also relative when we remember the controversial firing of a former editor. Another example is Too Human. I just finished the game and really dont get the 5.5 it received. While it is not a ten its guite a bit better then that. I game it 7.5 but would probably make it 7. The game has potential, alot actually. What if that low score prevents sales and the remaining two games dont get made, I think we all lose out.

  I would really like to hear your thoughts and opinions as we enter the big release season. I think I will be renting many games before purchase.

  In Season

  We are entering the big season for new game releases. I am really wondering about my "wish list." Right now there are like twenty games I am considering purchasing. Obviously some will have to be rentals but I am wondering what the rest of my friends here are doing.

  How many games do you look to purchase through December?

  What are you excited about?
