360 first impressions

Well, I’ve had my 360 since Friday. I haven’t played on it a vast amount, but here are my initial thoughts.

The console itself looks fine. Certainly more styled than its predecessor. No gripes there.

The power supply is enormous! No really, its huge. Got to be the biggest one I’ve every seen. There have been reports of overheating but I’ve not had any issues on that front.

Games; I got Project Gotham Racing 3 and Perfect Dark: Zero. The former is great. Really like. Fantastic gfx. Great gameplay. I haven’t ventured onto xbox live as yet, but as I have a gold account, my offline scores get recorded online and I can see how I’m doing against everyone else. Which is nice.

Perfect Dark: Zero however wasn’t really my bag. I’m not a huge fan of shooters on consoles generally. With this game, I wasn’t ‘feeling it’. The game looks pretty, but I really couldn’t get into it. I’ve exchanged it for Call of Duty 2. COD2 looks great also and I’m having fun playing it.

So, all good really.
