No, I wouldn't get WoW on the 360. I don't think the 360 controller could handle the huge amount of spells/abilities and hotbars I need to juggle. Not to mention all the Macros and add-ons I use. I'd have to get a keyboard to play WoW on the 360, and honestly, if I'm going to play WoW with a keyboard and mouse on my 360, I'd rather just play it on my PC. The way my console's setup in my livingrom doesn't make it easy to use a mouse and keyboard with my consoles anyway.

To be very succinct: Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney.

That game and it's two proper sequels (not Apollo Justice, which in my opinion reeks to high heaven) are definitely worth the price of entry for the Nintendo DS. Also, I highly recommend Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime. It may look cutesy, but the gameplay is killer.

I liked Vegas 2 better. It was the customization and the more tactical gameplay that got me. Plus, the combat felt more "meaty" to me. The bullet impacts and the feel of firing weapon in Vegas 2 felt like it had more weight to it, and that was more satisfying to me than the gunplay in COD 4.

Well, I kind of liked the first few Clancy games, but somewhere along the line they got kind of repetitive and the quality started to drop. I do like Rainbow Six: Vegas though, and I'm really looking forward to Vegas 2. Didn't really think Advanced Warfighter 2 was that fun though.

I put my X-box 360 on top of an Antec Laptop cooler horizontally. The rubber feet underneath the 360 aren't long enough to get a lot of airflow (and thus cooling) underneath the console normally if you lay it down flat horizontally, so when I put it on top of the much longer rubber supports on the Antec cooler, the console gets much more airflow and stays cooler, even when I don't plug the laptop cooler in.

It's worked for me really well so far.

I'd go with the Toshiba Regza personally. It's pretty much on par with the Sony and Samsung models, but noticeably cheaper. I have a 32 inch 32HL67 myself, and I love it! Depending on where you buy it, the 32HL67's actually selling for $700 or less, shipping included.

2-3 at most, usually more like 2. Right now, I'm just playing Phoenix Wright 3 on my DS, but that's only because I'm also playing Mass Effect on my 360.

Hooray for the PS2! I love it! It's way too good of a system to let go to waste. Hell, I'm supposedly a Microsoft fan and I like my PS2 even more than my original X-box and my new 360! And I'm also supposed to be a PC game fanatic, but I play my PS2 more than I play PC games!

Well, since the PS2 has such a huge library of good and great games, I guess that shouldn't be a surprise... but well, I guess it just shows that people go to where the good games are, in the end.

I don't know if it's sad or not, but it sounds like it's extremely not worth it to go that far.  Honestly, if a game's more work than it is play, I really prefer to actually work instead and get paid. 

 

edit: Seriously, if you're going to work yourself to death, why not get 1.5 x base wage?  If you really like earning enough to put up with grindy games, why not get addicted to working yourself to death to earn real bucks?  Much more justifiable in my mind.

I'm gonna download this even though I know I'll probably never get to play it.  I really am mixed about what to think about Bethesda making Fallout 3.  Given the humdrum and superficial storylines and lackluster characters I've seen in their products so far, I really don't know if they really have the talent and potential to capture all the spirit and life that made the Fallout series so fun.

I guess it'll be over month before I'm able to really say for sure, but if it turns out that Bethesda's Fallout 3 is just Oblivion with mutants, and just as superficial, then I'll be quite upset, and you can bet that I won't be buying it.

 I still don't get why they just didn't hand the license over to Obsidian or Troika (back when it still existed) or hell, a special team made out of the veterans of both companies that were the same people that made the first two.  If they really were "big fallout fans" like they said they were, they really ought to have given the development over to the people who made it great so that fans everywhere could rejoice.  Doing it themselves (and possibly messing it up horribly like some kind of fanfiction writer who's making a game instead) was probably one of the worst options they could've considered.

I hope very much that I'm wrong and the Fallout 3 is a good game that's true to the gameplay and the spirit of the previous games, but my gut instinct tells me otherwise.  I still really, -really- hope I'm wrong though.
