Jeff was down this weekend for a wine tasting in town...it was uber lame, and we left early to go home and play with a new toy. The new toy was the X Box 360 he brought down (Jeff, I hope Karin isn't reading this!) and here are my initial impressions.
OMFG!
This thing kicks boatloads of ASS! It is absolutamente awesome. High definition gaming with nearly 10X the power of the original. We spent the better part of 5 hours getting our butts handed to us in Call of Duty 2; and the gameplay was like being immersed in an interactive movie playing out in real-time. The graphics are incredible, and strongly reiterated what I said in a previous post about youngsters playing this as a demo in any Wal-Mart store across the country. You shoot someone in the head in this game, and it explodes with all the blood and visuals hopefully you can only imagine. It is VERY realistic, and much more offensive than some stupid rap CD with a few swear words. Not for the kiddies by any stretch of lax parental prudence, and possibly (I'm not kidding here) more than some people should be exposed to. If you want to know what Grandpa went through on D-Day at Omaha beach, play through the chapter with the Normandy landings on "hardened" difficulty. You will have new found (and much deserved) respect for America's Veterans.
