Not a very complete list....

Wolfenstein

Assasins Creed 2

Borderlands

are huge titles coming out that bolster the line up.

You can't really compare the two. Gamespot actually gives a break down of what the highs and lows are.

I thought Hells Highway was decent. I think this game should be fine.

I saw 3 words: World of Warcraft.

End of Story

I really like the graphics myself. Even though things did sort of have a gloss to them, it does beat looking at matte textures. It also makes them look a bit richer too from a distance. Its a simple trick designers use sometimes to make things in the distant background really pop and add depth to the game.

Otherwise you may as well play a 2D platformer.

I think I have more in common with a girl who plays Xbox than a girl who plays WoW. Not that there is anything wrong with WoW (I do play).

Megan Fox plays Xbox... so there is definitely some caliber out there.

Thoughts on them?

Personally I think they are stupid. They bend the way games are meant to played. I realize some people use them out of convenience, but I know even more use them to pad stats.

Two Reasons:

1: Infinity Ward- They drive the series forward and innovate.

2: Treyarch- Does absolutely nothing to make the game better.

When I buy a game from Activision, I look to see which devloper they have.

Treyarch is the metaphorical noob in the Activision Squad. Continually dropping a nade on there own team and what not.

KAR 98K (Call of Duty WaW) --> Not for the faint heart. The reward of using such a precise weapon is totally worth it.

Torque Bow --> Not only is the arrow dangerous. The bow packs a huge punch in Melee attacks.

It's roughly a $3 equivalent right?

Reallly stupid. But then again it would be $3 that Microsoft would be missing.

I think it's the fact that you have to pay for them is ridiculous. I think it would be a nice move for MS to offer them as a reward for completing all the achievements in a game. Chances are if a person goes full clear on a game, they might actually really like the theme of the game for the Xbox Dashboard.
