• And I think to myself, what a wireless world.

  I know I can’t be the only one to stare down at the jumbled mess of cords staring back at me like a multi-headed Herculean monster and wonder when someone will slay this beast. Microsoft is trying there best to solve this issue for gamers. When the console was released, it had the ability to wirelessly interact with the pc and a wireless controller. Now, Microsoft is introducing a wireless steering wheel for racing games, as well as a wireless head set. These innovations should improve the experience for us all. I cant wait to see what else Xbox will bring to the table. Posted Dec 11 2006, 10:51 PM by Cain141 | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Xbox Consoles

• So what do people here think of the 360?

  Well overall, the Xbox 360 has been well received over here in England; everyone enjoys the marketplace feature, loves the exclusive series such as Gears of war and Halo, and is pleased with the price tag. The FIFA series and the Pro Evolution Soccer series are pretty much aimed at the English Audience. Pro Evo has always been the better game in most reviewers’ opinion, with FIFA being described as “too predictable” or “too arcade”. I personally have bought FIFA, which I prefer, for three years and I never complained as, in the end, its 22 men kicking a ball. But when I started browsing the Xbox forums as a part of TSJ’s recruiting process, I noticed all the UK community complaining about is the war between these two games. I don’t want to intervene as I don’t want to get flamed, but in the end it’s a game. Get over it. Also on the community’s complain list: Price. The price of the 360 itself was well received with the counter argument being the PS3’s overwhelming price tag of £500, but...

• Seeing is Believing

  Xbox will soon be releasing its anticipated vision camera. This will allow video chat and picture messaging on Xbox Live. It will also be utilized in a few upcomming games such as World Series Poker: Tornament of Champions. The purchase of this item will come with a complementary copy of Uno and Totem Ball for Xbox Live Arcade.

• Xbox 360 Problems and answers

  Frequent complaints about the System: 1. Microsoft has the smallest backwards compatable list of the three new systems( 360,wi,ps3) by far. This has annoyed much of the xbox comunity. Personally I dont mind because I still have my regular xbox. My solution : Stop looking backwards and look to the future. This system show the most promise for future games by far. 2. Many have issues with overheating. This unfortunatly is true however I have never had a problem. My solution: Considering it came out a year before the other two systems it not only keeps pace but seems to set it. As long as you stay away from an system produced in 05 you should be fine. If you do have problems a intercooler will solve it for $20. Microsoft is constantly updating and improving the 360. Soon they have discussed the possibility to play XBL Arcade games on your computer.Considering it is nearly half the price of a Ps3 it is by far the better bet with a future games list that seems unstoppable.
