So I got myself a 360.....
My wifey bought me it for out anniversary, I got the elite with Assassins Creed and Devil May Cry 4. Will pick up Forza at the weekend (£9.99 in Argos) and Guitar Hero III just because I tried it ages ago and made a total **** of myself in the shop
So game recommendations anyone?

Buy Project Gotham Racing 4 - Xbox 360. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for .
Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 2 & 3 are all you'll need.
Also vote for Forza over PGR if you prefer driving games

I am now a reborn gamer. I work every 2nd week in England ( I live in Scotland), so the 360 was packed up a taken with me. I cam manage about 6hrs gaming per night.
The b&b I use has a 32" HD TV in the room, perfect. Only probelm being that the wireless access does not reach the rooms with HDTVs.
So it's either HDTV with no wireless, or wireless with a 12" beko
Might need to buy myself a cheap HDTV and leave it in the office, best of both worlds that way
Does anyone know if the 3 wireless dongle can connect straight into the XBOX?

Best 360 accessory to get is a cardboard box for when you send it in for repair............My 5th one does not even boot up correctly on return

I'd agree PGR4 is a little easy, take it online and it turns into a whole different game.
Forza is great too but a little too **** for me with all the adjustables.

Right, started Forza 2 last night. Although I have been a gamer for more years that I care to remember, drivng games have not been one of my favorites.
However Forza is the nuts! I like the driving line aid to help you pick the correct line and speed. I have already set it back a level though and only have it showing me the braking line.
I still suffer from 'too-fast-into-the-corner-itis'. I just can't help myself.
Anyway I started last night and have my driver up to level 17. Mostly done with my Mk2 Golf Gti 16 in white, which I also have a real version of sitting in my garage
Done some damage with the R32, managed to unlock a scoob in time trial mode, but it was after 02:00 so I though it best to get some shut eye before ripping up the track in it
Back home today, so will be setting up the router directly from the Xbox to get my self online.
I know there are a stack of scoobynet racers, but probably a bit advanced for me at the moment. May have to start a scoobynet junior race league
