Well, the time has finally come. I have stepped up to next gen (or current gen for Stirling). I went and got myself a 360 after saving up for about a year. Yea. Now if I could only afford games...
Anyways, my gamertag is MikuHaru. Feel free to friend me (you might want to make sure that I know who you are though if your gamertag is different than your destructoid name). I probably won't be on too much since I just started a 40-hour a week job, but hopefully that will mean more money for more games. ^_^
Also, some recommendations for games to get would be good (avoid FPS). As of right now I have Bioshock and Viva Pinata (but I tend to play Galaga everyday for at least half an hour). Yea, sorry for a short pointless post, but I just thought that I should get this out after having the thing for a week already.
GT:P0WER GL0VE
Ikaruga, Assault Heroes, Penny Arcade Adventures, and of course, Rock Band. There are many others I could recommend but I will let the rest of D-Toid recommend stuff.
You can always trying renting, some games I've picked up since getting my 360 over two weeks ago. Dead Rising, Monster Madness, skate, Assassins Creed. I liked all of them. And the game I've been working on first Gears of War.
Devil May Cry 4 is a good beat'em up. Dead Rising is awesome. Eternal Sonata is a fun RPG with an amazing combat system. Lots of good FPS' out there (i.e. Bioshock and Orange Box) if you give them a chance.
I was going to suggest some, until I read, "avoid FPS".. thing is, its hard to cut out all FPS simply because they are an FPS. Many games are 3rd person, but play like a FPS shooter, like the GRAW, or Gears of War. But you would be missing out on some AMAZING games. Like Oblivion.
Sweet. You can add me -- Adversarius -- if you want, but I don't have a gold account or a 360. So, if you've got the room on your list, go for it. If not, no worries.
I'm willing to play some FPS like Bioshock and Half-Life 2, but overall, I just don't generally like shooters, third person or first person. I do like side-scolling or vertical old-schoolish shooters, though.
I have a trial of Gold, but no games to play on Live. If I ever wanted to though, I would just go out and get a card.
i bought a 360 also, Thursday will be 2 weeks. I can't figure out how to get it online as, I get my internet for free , (neighbor) shhhhh. Maybe one day i'll figure it out

Orange Box, can't go wrong with HL2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal and TF2....they are FPS though.
Other than that GTA IV
GT:P0WER GL0VE
Ikaruga, Assault Heroes, Penny Arcade Adventures, and of course, Rock Band. There are many others I could recommend but I will let the rest of D-Toid recommend stuff.
Oh lucky you! I still need a 360
Anyway, get Dead Rising please, I love so much that game. Also Warriors Orochi, is just fun and addictive.
Crackdown
get...Crackdown
Congrats on the 360!
GT: Never On
:O
I'll add you right now!
Gimme an add:

GT is TheAmazingGlaze. I always need more dtoiders on my friends list.
You can always trying renting, some games I've picked up since getting my 360 over two weeks ago. Dead Rising, Monster Madness, skate, Assassins Creed. I liked all of them. And the game I've been working on first Gears of War.
I hate you.

Devil May Cry 4 is a good beat'em up. Dead Rising is awesome. Eternal Sonata is a fun RPG with an amazing combat system. Lots of good FPS' out there (i.e. Bioshock and Orange Box) if you give them a chance.
Gears and Gears 2,Ninja Gaiden 2, CRACKDOWN.....What? It was awesome, GTA IV, Rock Band,etc,etc
I was going to suggest some, until I read, "avoid FPS".. thing is, its hard to cut out all FPS simply because they are an FPS. Many games are 3rd person, but play like a FPS shooter, like the GRAW, or Gears of War. But you would be missing out on some AMAZING games. Like Oblivion.
Ikaruga, Lost Odyssey, Psychonauts, and Halo 3. That's it. Everything else is either a lot better on PC or a shitty arcade game.
Oh and if you like those types of games, get Ninja Gaiden 2, Grand Theft IV, or TES IV: GOTY Edition.
Woot, congrats! I've loving my new 360. GT: MrMxyzptlk123
If you play Galaga for a half hour a day, Ikaruga is a must. Also, Omega 5 is a pretty killer side scrolling shooter. Both are cheap and on XBL.
If you want to play some laggy, online Ikaruga with me, my GT is Padre Chester.
Heritic do you own Wartech? If you do we must play.
get a 2nd one, u will need that backup ready.
Nice!
GT: electro lemon
GT: Tubatic
Mass Eff . . . hold up! Jet Set Radio Future is available for download?! SWEET!

GT: kaizokukitsune
Sweet. You can add me -- Adversarius -- if you want, but I don't have a gold account or a 360. So, if you've got the room on your list, go for it. If not, no worries.
my GT is Johanneliesje ( used to share an account with my GF, now she has her own... )
I'd post my Gamertag, but I don't pay for live, so it'd be pointless anyway.
Grats on your 360.
MAYBE if your lucky I'll add ya.
Maybe.
GT: Its The Tino

All I have to say is Dead Rising. I so wish I had a 360 so I could play it :(
!MissHinasaki++ for bioshock lovin'
Grats on the 3-6. Once I hook up my xbox I'll add you as a friend.
