I'm impressed, graphics rock, and I picked up VGA connection for my monitor! So far I've picked up BF Modern Combat and Perfect Dark. Very good. What do you reccomend for some good game purchases?

If you have time you can spend on it (and don't already have it for the PC) Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is at the top of the list. Other than that there's Call of Duty 2, and for a light, but enjoyable, adventure game, Kameo.

Fight. Night.

Get it. Love it.

Fight Night is good, though it can be sometimes aggravating, since there are certain fights that the game simply decides you cannot win, and the guy will not go down even once no matter how many times or how hard you hit him (even though his stats may be greatly inferior to yours).

Kameo is a fun game. PGR3 is good if you like racing and multiplayer (the singleplayer campaign is a "blink and it's gone" thing).

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is a good one. The levels are shorter than the PC version, but the graphics are many times better, and so is the interface. A control pad will never be the same as a keyboard + mouse for FPS games, but the PC version's control scheme is very imprecise and rough around the edges, while the 360 version's is precise and tight, so the 360 version actually has better controls overall.

I played the demo for Full Auto at a Gamestop and loved it. Great graphics, great physics engine; it's essentially Project Gotham meets Twisted Metal.

Thanks! Off to the store I go!

I dunno, Full Auto didn't have too much depth and became very repetative from the reviews I've watched and demos I've played.

Full auto struck me as a game that's a lot of fun for an hour, and then you're done with it.

I highly recommend Burnout Revenge, best racing game I have ever played, incredible graphics, extremely fun and addictive gameplay, lots of replay value and shitloads to unlock. Definately more worth while then something like Full Auto.

Also if you havent got them on PC, Quake 4 and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat are fucking awsome too, especially when played on a nice HDTV.

Other then the minor fact that when you aim your gun on the X-Box 2 version you get this nice big circle and you have to guess where the center of the crosshairs are to shoot at distant targets.

And the PC controls are going to be overhauled soon. If GRIN wants to avoid GR3 being a failure on the PC they have no choice.

I'd only reccommend Quake 4 if you really need another Quake game.

It's fun enough, but a truly fucking awful port. Still, free copy of Quake 2. Still the best.

If you want a good shooter, Call of Duty 2 or Battlefield 2 are the ones.
