360, 48 hours later
So, after playing with my 360 over the weekend (and pilfering through the demos), here's where I stand.
ACE COMBAT 6 (why the name is always in caps, I have no idea): Beautiful air combat sim. Not really my style of game based on the demo (sorry,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reynardfox), but I can't fault it on the control or the graphics.
Beautiful Katamari: Another katamari game, and hopefully better than the PSP game. From what I hear, though, that wouldn't be hard.
Bioshock: OH DEAR GOD, YES. Next game on the list to buy. So beautiful, and so potentially terrifying. :)
Blue Dragon: Sadly, all I can muster for this is, "Meh." Very solid graphics, questionable voice acting, less-than-inspired combat system and gameplay, and horrible frame rates. If it's available for rent, I'll give it a try, but I'm not in any hurry now to get it.
Crackdown: The sandbox game that I don't yet own, but thanks torichman1, who is currently without a functioning 360, I can now learn the joys of the Agency. So wonderfully cathartic, and the power gained in just a couple of hours of gameplay is amazing.
Dead Rising: I knew this one would snag me the first time I saw it being played. Then I borrowedanimarelic's 360 and played through the main story. Now to do it again on my own copy, so it can become my other sandbox love.
Eternal Sonata: I know thatthe_z has been really buzzed for this one lately. I have to say that I do like the gameplay, and the graphics are absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of a souped up Tales-style game, which is not a bad thing. Definitely a better prospect than Blue Dragon right now.
Gears of War: Another loan fromrichman1, even though I've beaten it on the standard difficulty. It's just too good to not play again.
Geometry Wars: Ooooh, pretty and inexpensive. I like.
That's all the gaming research I've gotten in so far. Between all the demos and the messing around with media sharing, I've really not had a chance to delve much further.
