  Games on the way

  Now that I've purchased my new xbox 360 (reparing the console wasn't going to be worth it), I've ordered some games:

  -GTA4

  -GTA4: Episodes From Liberty City

  -Halo 3: DOST

  -Forza Motorsport 3

  -Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

  At this point I'm waiting primarly for Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Halo: Reach, and possibly FF13... Can't decide if I'm excited for that game or not.

  Anything else coming out within the next 6 months to look forward to that I missed my non-existant readers? =P

  Repairing my XBox, games I want to buy, and other

  So my xbox 360's disc drive stopped working. My warranty expired a while back, and because I live in IL, shipping it to the US and back + repair fee is not an option (better to just by a brand new Jasper Arcade and slap on my HDD), so I decided to open up my console. I managed to get it working, but when I closed up my console it slolwy regressed to its broken state.

  I found a shop that repairs x360's for anywhere between $30-100 depending on whether they need to replace the DVD-ROM, and I'm really hoping they'll fix the problem.

  Assuming my XBox 360 gets fixed, there's quite a few games that I want, and I think I've narrowed it down to which I'll be getting. Out of AC2, L4D2, GTA4/Episodes, Forza 3, Halo 3: ODST, and MW2:

  -GTA4+Episodes

  -Forza 3

  -Halo 3: ODST

  -MW2

  I was really torn between GTA4 + AC2 and Halo 3 + AC2, but in the end, GTA4 and ODST are two games that I can't resist the urge to get, so I gave up on AC2 for the time being. I'll probably pick up L4D2 for PC once the price drops (and I get some more cash).

  On a side note, Alan Wake looks great and I'm probably going to pool cash with buddies to get the game being I dont' plan on playing it alone anyhow =P

  As for Natal winning 5th place in Time magazine's list of innovative products... Well, it's hard to believe it beat out a cure to HIV (even if it only has 31% success rate). I'm hoping they know something about Natal that we don't, which hopefully means great games for us.

  Three words

  That was sick.

  Project Natal looks incredibly interesting, to say the least.
