Just curious who else from RGP has the 360 and what games you regularly
play? I've had it for about a year now and really enjoyed Gears of War
when it came out. Now I'm on to Rainbow Six: Vegas, playing the co-op
with a friend and trying to get through it. Madden, Tiger Woods, and
MLB2k7 are also in regular rotation. Any other recommendations? BTW, I
hated Dead Rising and Lost Planet.

GoW was great. The Rainbow Six/Ghost Recon/Splinter Cell titles are
always good.

Replace Madden with NCAA 08 (came out a few weeks ago), Tiger Woods
<check>, but an old favorite, NHL, sucks now (IMO). It's pretty sad when
a 2007 game is worse than the old '93 NHL.

It's all about Halo, of course. Halo 2 is still the game I return to, and
Halo 3 will be "the" game on the 360 for a long time. The original Halo
is the ONLY reason I switched from the PS2 (after playing Halo with my bro
and some of his friends, I got home and sold the PS2 that day to buy the
Xbox).

I was a little upset that I bought the 360 (for GoW and the eventual Halo
3, more than anything else), only to have them release one with 3x the
Hard Drive AND the HDMI connector for about 80-90 bucks more a few weeks
later (right after Xmas, of course). That's just another example of MS's
lack of class, if you ask me. Right after Christmas? For Shame, Gates...
For Shame!

Oh, Command and Conquor 3 is also pretty neat.

Cheers.

Halo 3 is FANTASTIC. I had the Beta for it for a few weeks when it was
out last month (I bought Crackdown when it came out basically just to be
able to get the Halo 3 beta later on and was pleasantly surprised by
Crackdown), and I couldn't stop playing it. It is that good. My copy of
Halo 3 is already preordered.
