The 360 thread!

Yes, it looks rather good, doesn't it. Peeeeooooooooooow!

Sniper Elite on the old x-box was seriously underrated , a very sharp game good elements to its play.


That looks like a nice successor. If the mechanics and play are good then a must buy for me.

I was thinking K-NEX when I heard it. So far the impressions are not good. The star wars bit looked good, right up until someone pointed out the avatar was moving before the player.

Anti-Natal?

The name's also got the kin = family aspect too.

Personally I don't mind the name, but I really don't know if it's suited to the family market they're firmly aiming this at. But then the games industry has a fairly long history of silly names, but people get used to them. For me "Playstation" still sounds vaguely like a plastic toy for 2 year olds with a spinner, a mirror, and a squeaker on it.

But then what do I / we know ? Currently the best selling console is called Wii.

[The Captain]

That's pretty much the justification MS have picked for the name - 'The Wii had a shit name and that has sold a metric fuckton!'

I hate the corporate board meeting committee feel to the name, it's as bad as Consignia. At present it just seems like a glorified EyeToy. Ninty must be pissing themselves laughing.

[RiK]

Well I suppose 'Kin eck! is better than post-Natal depression eh?

[TFO]

If you play a game with Milo and drop coloured discs into a grid, would that be Kinect 4?

[F-ZeroOne]

Continuing the long tradition of prototype videogame hardware having way cooler names than the eventual full release...

Also, if that is the "new" 360, stick a plunger on it and it could be a new type of Dalek...

[fog]

The PS Move isn't a great name either, but at least the casual masses will get what it does from the name. Kinetic just doesn't work on any level for me.

And just think of the fun developers are going to have getting that into a game name "Wii Play" style. So far I've seen the horrific, Sun headline like "Kinectimals"

Singularity is out this Friday, but I can't find any reviews for it (which sets the danger bells ringing!).
It looks like a cross between Wolfenstein & Bio-shock ...
