Hello XBOX360? Where are your games?
by Dan J. on Apr.27, 2009, under Gaming
I’ve finished them all…. I’ve completed the expansions on Fallout 3, almost prestiged in Call Of Duty 5 , played through all of the Acts in Left4Dead (online co-op of course), but now I’m looking for something new, as I know a few of my friends are too.
After leafing through a few online release schedules, I’m wondering if my XBOX360 will be gathering a rather hefty layer of dust until the fall. I must be out of touch, but when were games like Velvet Assassin, Damnation and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (the sequel no one asked for) even announced? Who is honestly looking forward to anything coming out BEFORE Bioshock 2?
This slight of negativity may be stemming from the fact that one of my XBOX360′s has finally red ringed. I say ‘finally’ because, honestly, who expected it to last more than 1 YEAR!? I digress, my apologies.
I’m sure it will improve, but once the playoffs are done, NHL 2009 will be making its way to EBGames and my XBOX360 will see a lot less use. Microsoft is damn lucky they have such a loyal fan base, they can afford these software lulls and non-stop hardware issues.

I’m tempted to, but I might just hold off until COD Modern Warfare 2 in the fall.

I’m personally happy for a breather. Games that are taking months to play like Mass Effect and Fallout 3 are taking a lot more time than that – try having a kid.
I’ve found myself playing the more casual games, due to my lack of time, so becoming a deft hand at Uno and having the odd 5 minute round of FIFA 09.
I long for the time to be able to finish Mass Effect, and really am not looking forward to the sequel … yet.
