Default Finally succumbed to an Xbox :)

After owning the PS2 for 2 years, and with GT4 now not out til August, I decided to invest in an Xbox yesterday with PGR2.

Have to say very impressed, machine is very cool, and PGR2 is great, much better than GT3 in terms of graphics, gameplay and AI. Spent 6 hours on it last night - 10-4 oops!!

Did take me ages to realise there is no "save game" function though after scouring every menu for 15 minutes.

So any Xbox tips, what games should I get, how do you connect to Live etc.

Still feel a bit greedy having both Xbox and PS2!!

Its one of the things I like about the X-Box, the fact that the game saving is so fast to HDD you don't even notice it

I've been playing Unreal 2:Awakening this weekend (as well as Shrek Super Party ) great game, a bit of a Halo rip off, but very good.

Depends what type of games you like ?

Oh, and get modding

Defo get Halo, fantastic game even if it is getting on now!! I got it with my Xbox recently and spent two solid days playing it till it was completed. I was completely hooked.

Agreed, the AI is very good. You actually feel like you are racing someone for a change. I loved the GT series on PS, but always treated it as a trackday game rather than a racing game, cos the AI was so crap.

Same here. Because the performance of the cars is so close too you do feel like you are having a race I can't put the controller down I spent most of this weekend playing
