What it includes, as far as I can tell, is some early access to Forza 3, the opportunity to sit in a Ferrari, and the chance to drive your car around a test track with some driving professionals. Should be pretty fun!

Forza 3 Event Toronto

I’ll try to snap some pictures and put them online.  Should be interesting.  Just being able to touch a Lambo is enough for me!

There is no need for debate, this is fact. If you haven’t played it, you don’t know what you’re missing.

In case you think I’m joking, check my gamertag on xbox.com and see for yourself.  I sincerely urge you to give it a shot, something about shooting balls into coloured dots to make them disappear is hypnotic.  I understand this post is just a sorry excuse for professing my love for Peggle, but I don’t care, I can talk about whatever the hell I want.

PLAY IT NOW!

Where are your games? http://www.aguyinhisbasement.com/2009/04/hello-xbox-360-where-are-your-games/ http://www.aguyinhisbasement.com/2009/04/hello-xbox-360-where-are-your-games/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:37:33 +0000 Dan J. http://www.aguyinhisbasement.com/?p=54 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.

  • Since the demise of Pontiac has, as of today, been confirmed, this list is pretty interesting for any fans out there.
  • Here is another take on the story regarding the Pontiac shut down.  I, for one, don’t necessarily want to see GM and its employees laid off, but I DO want to see improvements.  Scrapping Pontiac and Saturn don’t exactly make as much sense as getting rid of GMC and Buick, but what do I know?
  • Joystiq’s weekly webcomic wrapups are always great.  I can’t be bothered to read every comic and instead let them pick ones for me.
  • Microsoft’s latest iteration of the Windows 7 BETA includes what some might call, interesting wallpaper.  This is my new favorite background.
