Thinking...

This isn't normally my personality because I know where my stance is, but I've shuffled to the left a bit here.

My cousin came and spent a few nights with me this weekend and he just so happened to bring is Xbox. Well I was all, okay, maybe a few more games to play besides Rock Band or Mario which really the majority of my games are Rock Band or Guitar Hero, and not many Mario multiplayer besides Mario Kart Wii, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and Mario Strikers Charged. Plus I don't think he cared much for Speed Racer

Well I didn't care much at first til I actually popped in a few games to try and get used to the controls. Well it was pretty fun and what got me going is that he showed me how to play music while playing the games, which I was really excited about. Plus I put some of my CD's on his console as well so happy day I guess haha.

The game I liked the most was Midnight Club: Los Angeles, which is really fun considering it's a free-roam driving game, (and I love it when driving games have free-roam, I like racing games, but I like them more if they include free-roam or joyride modes or the whole game itself is free-roam until you do something to engage in a race) and it's like going through L.A. without having to go there, know what I mean? My cousin also let me create a new game on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, so I did and got a bit better at first-person shooters and the story line is pretty cool, I really enjoyed it

Those two games are what got me doing a good bit of thinking. Though I will also be a Nintendo supporter through and through, I'm thinking about getting an Xbox someday.

The good part is that if my cousin gets a new Xbox he said he could give me his old one. So my chances are that I will either do one of the following:
1. Get the Wii-U next year and wait a while to get an Xbox.
2. He might give me his old one and I might still be able to get a Wii-U next year haha.

The only thing that turns me away from Microsoft's console is the fact of having to literally pay just so you play online with others... which in my book is really unnecessary and very stupid.

But I might could make do somehow.

This is just own personal opinion, so lay off the hate comments and console wars guys lol.

Games I plan on acquiring if I do have the chance to get his Xbox:

1. Call of Duty: World at War
   Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
   Call of Duty: Black Ops
   Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
   Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
   Sonic Generations
   Rocksmith
   Midnight Club: Los Angeles
   Assassin's Creed (series)
   Major League Baseball (insert year here)
   Nascar 2011: The Game
   And more...

you can skip black ops. more like black oops.

Actuall no I can't, I've played it before, and I really enjoy it.

the multiplayer is enjoyable when the servers are being supported...which is about 1/6 of the time. Besides that, the campaign pales in comparison to Infinity Ward's work. Zombies is literally the only reason why I haven't resold the game. but to each his own, I suppose.

I expect MW3 to eat up maybe 7/8 of the BO community anyway...and world at war is also a dwindling, but certainly existant community. MW2 is still totally active. Sonic Gen. seems pretty legit and has gotten mixed reviews (but who cares, i love sonic). Assassins' Creed is a big yes. Make sure you pick up AC Revelations in a couple of weeks!!!!

also, you should def check out:

Batman: Arkham series*************** even if you hate Batman (like me) you will loves these two games.
L4D
Just Cause 2
Gears of War series
Borderlands****
Bioshock series
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout 3****
Dead Island

Some of the ones you have listed I forgot about, I see a few that have caught my eye and consideration...

I've also considered:
Marvel vs. Capcom games
Mortal Kombat
Among others.

I liked Black Ops a lot. I dont see much problems in it besides the general CoD issues.

Yeah, I do enjoy Black Ops along a few other CoD's I've witnessed or had the honors of actually playing


But eh.. an updated list so far of possible games:

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare(s) 1-3
Call of Duty World at War
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Sonic Generations
RockSmith
Assassin's Creed (series)
Marvel vs. Capcom (whichever is available)
Mortal Kombat (also whichever is available)
Need for Speed: Carbon
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
NASCAR: The Game 2011
Major League Baseball (insert year here)
Racing Games

etc..... I guess I'll update again later when I have a MUCH bigger list lol

Get Halo man and I suggest Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2... it's worth it. But there's tons of great games you can get tho But get mw1 then mw2 then mw3 to understand the story unless you played campaign already.

1. Don't really care for Halo or Sci-Fi stuff tbh
2. I don't care for Naruto haha
3. I have play MW2 campaign a little bit. but I do so plan to get all three games in the series and play them in order..... only criss cross for multiplayer haha

Thanks for the suggestion tho bro! Much appreciated nonetheless

Funky, I agree that paying is kind of a pain, but here's a good deal they have.

You can either:
1. Pay about $25-$30 a month
2. Pay $60 for a full year of Live (which is what I did)

Plus, when you sign up for a Gold Membership, you get a full month of Live free.
And PLEASE get MW3 I have nobody to play with :(

I plan on doing so with MW3... but as for the pay to play online... it honestly is one of the most stupidest ideas they could have come up with.... I think that they should at least let people play online for free (which in my opinion of making us pay to play online is kind of like they want money more than quality for their users and customers)... but for extra stuff maybe pay with points

Actually if you think about it for a physical standard of people, it's a pretty good idea.
So instead of people being able to sit down all day and play CoD or something online with their friends for nothing, they have to pay to have that privilege.
It can help people who only have this system to actually do something other than GAEMZ GAEMZ GAEMZ.
This coming from someone who has said system yet sits in his room and plays Monster Hunter all day.
Derp.
But then again it's not like my town's definition of "fun" piques my interest.
>drinking smoking

Well true, I guess...... But even I don't play games like I used too. I almost never touch my Wii unless have that urge to play 1-3 songs on RB/GH <.< Even then I'll probably lose interest mid song on like my first or second choice. Nowadays I'm either facebooking, listening to music, or playing/practicing real guitar. As well as the usual school lol

Get xbox w/ MW3... i don't play a lot but when I do I need somebodeh!!!!!!

Don't worry, if I do, you'll be one of the first people I try to contact haha!
