Xbox 360

This page was last updated: Monday the 20th of October, 2008

The Xbox 360 is the main platform I game on these days, given that it can actually run most of the games I buy for it. You’ll find me online at some point on most days, so please be alarmed if I’m not online for at least 3 days.

Games I Own

Call of Duty 4

I still play CoD4 from time to time, when I want a change of pace in my first-person shooters. These days I run around mainly with either my G3 assault-based G3 class (often switching from RDS to ACOG from game to game), or my M40A3/ACOG sniper. And once I re-unlock it, my silent, UAV-jamming P90 class.

Halo 3

I actually bought CoD4 and H3 at the same time, so they’re listed alphabetically :P. Halo 3, as everyone should know is a staple FPS to own for the 360. Even these days, everyone still plays it (at some people I know still play it too much). Mostly, you’ll find me on with some friends playing some Big Team in matchmaking, or playing some half-decent custom games. Never ask me to play MLG with you though. MLG absolutely fucking sucks, and you will never see me playing it, especially when there is more interesting crap to play :)

Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Again, don’t play because I 1k’d it. It was more fun this time round, I had some fun getting some games with friends from MGC and other places, but once again once I hit 1k it got boring quickly. At least the 1k came a lot quicker this time round thanks to that EXP glitch. Yes, I do admit I boosted my rank, but I wasn’t about to spend as long as I did on Vegas 1 on this game, especially since I was only a Captain by the time I had got all the other achievements.

Forza Motorsport 2

I really liked playing the original Forza on the original Xbox. I had a great time in both single-player and online careers, which unfortunately lost it’s appeal after I used to point-to-point glitch in online career to get to Level 50 in a hurry. Forza 2 is good so far, but I’m not as in love with it as before, after they dumped all the fun fictional street races. And where are Alpine Ring and Blue Mountain?!?!

Orange Box

Seriously, if you don’t like Half Life 2, Portal or Team Fortress 2, GTFO right now. I still quite enjoy playing through Half Life 2 when I’m bored at home and offline, and you cannot beat the odd game of TF2 with friends. Although I just hope they don’t add all the achievements that you can get in the PC version to this, because then that would just be crazy…

Games I own but don’t play

NASCAR 08

So? What on earth is the problem with liking NASCAR? I’ll have you know it’s not as easy as you think. It’s not just driving very fas turning left on occasion. You do that - you’ll be in the wall hard within a lap. And try not to forget that there are a few road courses on the calendar in both Sprint Cup and the Nationwide Series. Turning left AND right :)

Guitar Hero II

I still enjoy a good rock-out on GHII here and then, although like some other games it is starting to get monotonous, especially when I can’t get past Woman on Hard mode in the career. That is what’s stopping me from advancing much further. And don’t expect me to do anything on Expert. I’ve only ever completed two songs on Expert: Surrender and Radium Eyes. And even then, I think I barely scraped 3 stars.

Rainbow Six Vegas

I stopped playing R6V after I (eventually!) 1k’d the game. It was a good game, especially when you got people who came back game after game when you were hosting ranked A&D on Calypso Casino, because you host kicked ass :)

But then it got very boring when all I had left to get was to make it to Elite, and I realised I had about 1000 Terrorist Hunts left to go to get there…

Crackdown

Crackdown was a good game, especially as I got it for cheap after it was left over as a Games Soc prize. It’s a good game, especially just driving around at insane speeds and hitting stuff, then getting the Agency hit-squad after you :D

But, once the game was finished and the Street Races all completed, it got very boring. I’d still be interested in finding someone who wants to go through some of the last few achievements I need :)

Everything Else

Is a rental.

    just a question but are you going to be trading your “games owned but do not play” this coming few weeks? Is Fable 2 tempting you? World at War a want? Let us know!?

    @Diablo: I have comments open on these pages? :?

    I’m not one for trading games in all that much, I have a nasty habit of hoarding things, so I’ll probably end up keeping these as well. Although thanks for the spur into action, I really do need to update this a bit more!

Rant in reply

If this is your first time ranting here, I'll need to approve of it first. If I do, then the floodgates are open (not literally!) for you to rant away unhindered in the future.

If you were so hungry you ate your "ranting cookie", then I'll need to approve your rant, and give you another cookie. Go put it in the biscuit tin, padlock it shut and throw away the key!

Gravatars are enabled, so show us your mug!.

Links are automatically "dofollowed" after two days, giving me time to kill the spam! With that in mind, any rant with 3 links or more will need my explicit approval.

Clicking the little arrow by a ranters' name allows you to specifically rant in reply to them, Twitter-style.

Since this load of drivel is about a month old, if your rant is caught by the spamhammer, it will be immediately owned and won't get a chance to respawn. So play nice!

And you are? And don't say you don't have a name!

E-mail please. Will not be sold on to a spam company.

Your home on the web, if you've got one.

Your rant, obviously.
