Topic: The Xbox 360 Thread

Just a note, since they're only using kinect for the sound, you may be able to use a headset for Mass Effect 3.

Maybe, but I doubt it, because then their wouldn't be a reason for Kinect.

Then they better use more of the damn thing than the sound, damn it!

I'm quite frankly surprised by MS's underwhelming E3. A few neat things, but nothing we didn't already know about, and i don't really care at all for anything Kinect (with the possible exception of Star Wars, since i'm such a SW fanboy ... but it actually looked a little weak, and i'm not buying Kinect just for that), and another Halo ... yawn and a half.

When was the last time Microsoft had a good E3?

Yesterday

i think the new xbox experience is Microsoft's answer to windows 8 on the 360. but there is still more to be heard of from Microsoft on W8. but what is it with Microsoft and there boxy icons? :S

Agreed. I heard lots of things that impressed me.

Has someone try a PS5 by sony? I think it is much better than XBox 360 in comparison in sound and picture quality.

... i was going to delete this post since AmySmart's a spammer, but that comment is too hilariously wrong to not leave standing.

I just looked and laughed. Good call

I can't believe I didn't see that until now. Fantastic!

@TBD Haha, Shaker Kitchen Cabinets? WTF?

@slappy: iirc it was a link to cabinets for sale made by shakers (or in their style, at least). :3

Half Minute Hero lands on XBLA June 29th!

I'd never heard of this one before, but it looks pretty awesome. I know what I'm saving my points for!

This is one of the games that I have really been looking forward to. Can't wait!

Ms. Splosion Man arrives on XBLA on July 13th!

@The_Fox It's a PSP game that is flipping awesome!

@WolfRamHeart I've got Splosion Man, but I've yet to get a chance to check it out. I've heard great things about it and I'm looking forward to playing it, but at the moment I'm pretty much deadlocked on Ocarina of Time 3D.

I'll likely get Half-Minute Hero again, but but I'll hold off of Ms 'Splosion Man until I finish the first 'Splosion Man.

Oh, Tim Schafer's new game Trenched that landed on XBLA recently is getting killer reviews. I'm not a fan of his games, but I think I queued the demo to check this one out, as it isn't suppose to be like his other games.
