First impressions

[Calibrax]

Well, got my Xbox360 at last, here's my impressions of the games I've tried so far. Haven't really tried online yet, will get around to that at the weekend.

I was also very pleasantly surprised to find out that I can use my x360 to stream movies from the other PCs in my network to my TV... which is great, as I have loads of great TV series and movies on my network.

Anyway, the games :

GTA4 : this is massive. Loads to do, I haven't even scratched the surface yet. Car handling is shite though, and the brakes on the cars barely work.... hopefully there will be a patch to fix it. Driving while drunk is fun though!  9.5/10

Forza2 : My favourite game so far. Did a couple of free runs on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, it was stunning. The cars handle great, really fun to play.  10/10

PGR4 : Also excellent. Very close to Forza2 in terms of enjoyment. 9.5/10

FIFA 2006 : Great graphics, the players actually look like their real life counterparts. Fun for a bit, but gameplay can get boring. 6/10

Bioshock : Stunning graphics and amazing storyline. Gameplay is standard FPS, so it's a struggle to learn on a pad... 8.5/10

Assassin's Creed : Really long story intro, controls a bit fiddly, and lots of them to learn. It's growing on me though! 9/10

Coming soon...
Oblivion
Halo 3
Viva Pinata
Dead Rising
Ace Combat 6

the cars in gta4 will stay crap on the handling side of things cal you need to go for the ones that look like european cars ( the merc bmw3 and i think theres a lambo look alike and a ferrari too) the ones that look like yank cars handl like them.
