Looks like that port of Perfect Dark that was announced for Xbox Arcade last year will be coming out in March and cost 800 ms points. There are plenty of screen shots for it floating around out there, and it looks absolutely beautiful. Definitely my next (and last for a good long while) game purchase.
Anyone else here playing Bioshock 2? I have only been able to clock a few hours on it so far, but I am really enjoying it. Seems like it is another game the general population has decided not to like before even playing it, which has been the case for ever game I've bought over the last six months (ODST, L4D2, and now BS2). Maybe I just have crappy taste in games and am not get the full gaming experience the modern world has to offer.
At the end of the day I am really not that into games. The field fascinates me, I am really into the history and the business side of things more than anything (probably a result of reading the book Game Over in my late teens). I just like to come home from work, pop a disc into the Xbox and unwind for thirty minutes or so, shut it down, and go do something more productive. FPSs serve that purpose really well, and these days some of, what I feel, are the coolest stories are told through sci-fi FPS games. The Half-Life series including Portal, and Bioshock are some of the most entertaining sci-fi stories I have come across in a very long time.
I am also not the type that likes to talk on the phone much, I am too antcy to sit still for any period of time without multiple types of or no stimulation. Having one part of my brain working minimally while the rest sits idle drives me half insane. Since a couple of my close childhood friends have 360s, I find it a real treat to be able to stay current with them while killing zombies/Covenant invaders together, it feels more like we are in the same room together, and provides me enough stimuli to keep comfortable. Before I got my 360 the extent to which we kept in touch was an email or a phone call every six months or so, so Halo and L4D have been a real treat for me for that aspect alone.
