rumble roses rating: SUCKS The menus were such a maze I thought navigating through them was the gameplay. I got to some screen where you can apparently change how your chick looks; I moved the model down so I could see more of her ass then didn't give a fuck about this feature anymore. Finally I made it to the end of the maze and saw a cutscene. I skipped it as soon as I figured out how, but then ANOTHER one started for the 2nd battler. I skipped it too... then TWO more. Finally it got to a loading screen and the game froze. I'm selling it now.
final fantasy xi online rating: SUCKS I got to some screen full of menus. Apparently it is online only or something, who cares, it's too confusing to figure out how to play if it isn't. Selling it.
dead or alive 4 rating: SUCKS the same as all of those playstation 1 fighting games. You basically have 2 button choices and tap one of them repeatedly to fight. you could literally play it with the same chance of winning with your eyes closed. There's some sort of blocking counter throw or something but it was too confusing to bother figuring it out.
full auto rating: SUCKS I think there was annoying guitar music. You drive a car. It's so boring. I don't care enough about it to describe it further.
call of duty 2 rating: SUCKS a first person shooter where the default is havning up/down on the controller reversed from what they should be, and you can't change it. Fuck it then, next.
x men rating: SUCKS wtf, you start as wolverine, then iceman, then fagman, it's like you have to go through a training mode for each character. too many moves and crap to bother memorizing, not fun. Just a big bloated stupid game like the rest.
tomb raider legend rating: SUCKS ugh,... ugh, you walk around and jump on ledges and move those standard size boxes that are in every puzzle since playstation 1. You try to find artifacts, who cares.
fight night round 3 rating: SUCKS slow boring boxing game w

*I* can program a better game than all of those combined, and my programming skills are somewhere between 'wtf is coding' and 'hello world'.
Every one feels like it was released 2 years early to make money on it already.
This is the next generation system everyone is raving about?
I still have kameo, quake 4, perfect dark and oblivion- they are the ones that didn't immediately suck at least so will play them more carefully (quake 4 has repeated cutscenes that are unskipable and it's saving was too confusing so now I'm way at the beginning again because my save disappeared. Ultimately it hasn't been all that fun so far, just fairly ok)

Ok, there are some good games; kameo is great so far. Like a pixar film you can play sort of. The gameplay is nice and the visuals and quality of everything is excellent.
Controlling cameras in such games is always agravating. Star fox got me used to up/down being reversed, and often it even feels like right/left should be reversed. It could be either because if the camera was in your characters head pushing left would cause you to see more towards the left (as if character was turning that way), but if you think of controlling the camera 360 degrees around the player pushing left would make you see more to the right.

Oblivion: rating: SUCKS
Why didn't anybody warn me? Nothing compared to Daggerfall or Morrowind. This game is a piece of shit and bubblegum stuck to your shoe.

aw, damn. That girl on tech tv or whatever did a funny youtube video review of it. She jumped her character on a table where everyone was eating and messed up everyones food then made some comment about how they weren't programmed to give a damn.
I like lolo's 4 letter password system. Let's trade maximum security for only having to enter 4 letters... there's this one zelda II clone that had upper/lowercase/numbers/letters/characters... 1's look like L's, 5's look like S's, 0's looked like o's and O's etc. It was so 'secure' I bet 90 percent of the codes written down were incorrect and didn't work. Anyone who beat it has to be more of a master at reading their handwriting and knowing which symbols are which, not the game.

If you don't like any games on it, maybe buy a Wii or a PS3. If you do, let me know how they are and if they're worth the price.

Also, try some good games. Gears is pretty good, Dead Rising is worth it if you can get a cheap copy, if you like racing games PGR3 and Test Drive are good. But then again you probably should have figured out if you liked games before you bought one.

Yeah, I bought this as a lot because it was cheaper that way, so didn't choose most of the games. I'll almost definately check out gears of war, and maybe some of those others.
Megamans password system is cool if you just write: 1r 3b instead of drawing the whole thing. And all the megaman music is superb; i was listening to bubblemans midi a lot, airman is excellent.

All those games suck except Call of Duty 2. I can't believe you like Quake though, that seems like a game you'd hate. Gears of War is pretty easily the best game on 360 and possibly the game of the year. I loved Oblivion, though like all Elder Scrolls games it's flawed up the wazoo.
You REALLY have to like FPS' and shooters to like the 360, because it doesn't have a lot to offer beyond that. The future looks better though. The first year of any console always sucks.

Do you normally play where pressing up makes the screen move up or down? Maybe I should give call of duty another shot, but that is really annoying to get used to since I have to unlearn what I'm already used to.

I don't see how someone could not like Oblivion. For me it was pretty easy to look past whatever was wrong because it was so fun to play. Of course it did get old eventually. I hope the new Zelda doesn't suffer the same fate. Has anyone played very far into that yet?

What do you mean, inverted vs non-inverted? As in, pressing down makes you look down instead of up, like Goldeneye? I can only play console FPS' with non-inverted controls these days. Press up, look up, press down, look down...
The only game I'm playing right now is Final Fantasy 12 and you have no choice but to play with inverted controls, it drives me batshit crazy.
Lumious- Oblivion is great, yeah. But the thing with games of that size and scope is that they stretch themselves too thin, certain aspects of games like Obilvion and GTA and other ''sandbox'' games are always unpolished and crude. But I loved it anyway... though admittedly for often shallow reasons. It's just... pretty. It's immersive. It hardly improves on Morrowind at all but I liked it ten times more just because it's not so ugly.

a classic:
"final fantasy xi online rating: SUCKS I got to some screen full of menus. Apparently it is online only or something, who cares, it's too confusing to figure out how to play if it isn't. Selling it."
You should have instead tried final fantasy xi offline, that's offline only or something, who cares.
To hate TR Legend you have to hate the series, though, since it's one of the best installments in it.

Oblivion- This game is so fucking bland I cannot believe. It is puke-tastic. It barely looks any better than Morrowind. There's just NOTHING anywhere, to see or do. A bunch of interior environments where there's nothing you want to touch- it's all hazy like out of a commercial for diamonds with a 50 year old actress who needs fuzzy light to look glamorous anymore. Outdoor environments are repetetive and there is almost no variation. People are godawful ugly but that didn't stop Daggerfall OR Morrowind from being great. Every square foot of Morrowind was in place- there was something to see, inspect. There was not so much random filling. Oblivion is horribly botched in this sense. It seems like they spent the most time creating fucking INANE conversations with NPC's they all sound the same they take forever to say the most pointless shit to skip through. Yet they took the time to have voice actors voice EVERY SINGLE WORD. ANd give them little routines. Yes there are 15 people per 'CITY' which you will find in different places, standing around, acting like a mindless NPC. It's more like Morrowind than Daggerfall of course, in it's structure, but it's like they have higher resolution surfaces, some lighting tricks and that's it. They changed the combat system from Morrowind to a more interactive one, which is all right but it doesn't make the game. It just shows a great lack of care and I can't see how anyone could be blind to this.

COD3 is even better. I think. At least the first few levels I played, it starts off cooler than COD2. I asked Santa for it.

Another really glaring flaw in Oblivion was the voice acting... I mean they literally had like 3 voice actors for the whole thing, it's inexplicable, like they had absolutely no budget left or something. Just go with text and save voice acting for key scenes.

Try Gears of War or Dead Rising, those are pretty decent. Also, download Castlevania: Symphony of the Night when it comes out on the Marketplace.

For xbox360 games I've been really digging Crackdown...
the game is madness. That and Gear of War, but I only play it online with some of my old work buddies.... I haven't even really played the game....
other then that.... hmm.... i don't play much. Obivion is still fun... but now that I've finished it, it's boring
