I now have both an Xbox Live yearly Gold account subscription and an Xbox 360. So far I've been playing only G.R.A.W. and Oblivion at the moment and been slowly unlocking achievements for both of them since I've been working a Second Shift job with overtime. I've also updated my blog to show my progress in Xbox games. Until Xfire does something close to this with a constantly updated top 5 played games list, it's just Xbox for now.
On that note, I'll be renting RS:V very soon and will give a first impressions post like I've done with Lockdown. So far most previews and hands on impressions are saying it's going back to how Rainbow Six 3's gunplay and movement was.

I've been thinking about it. But I just purchased Smash TV, Guantlet and DooM 1 on Xbox Live Arcade and I'm waiting for Konami to wake up and do the arcade verisons of Teenage Mutant Turtles. As for Predator, yeah I've played the core orginals on Xbox last year, good stuff but I'm holding out till next Friday (I'm paid weekly) to snag it. For now you can find me mostly playing GRAW, Oblivion, or Arcade titles for now.

I still don't understand how people can enjoy First Person Shooters on console. How do you aim quick enough with a gamepad?
it's very easy to be honest since I've been playing shooters from the Arcades since I was 3, like Atari's XYbot arcade cab. Man I miss that game. And when DooM 1 was fresh off the presses, I played it on a Sidewinder *shrug*. Add to the fact that my first diehard deathmatch game was 007: Goldeneye for the N64 where you had to use the cheesily crappy analog stick and C buttons (or digital pad) to aim and look. I later progressed to the n64 verison of Quake 2 and Rainbow Six 1 even though I had those games on PC, I stuck with their console verisons due to the fact I was on 56k dail up back in those days and there was a lot more people around me with a n64 or a ps1 then there was PC's with said games.

I've been arounds since DOOM on the Sega Genasis (We only had an 8088 PC), only time I've ever had trouble has been games like Quake 2 where you have L/R buttons on top of the gamepad to aim up/down while you try to point yourself at the strogg.
MOH had a great system if unfair, you had to stand still to aim or use Analog. With analog ministicks it's very easy to combine fire/movement. With some good sensitivity hacking SOCOM got the system pretty good to try and make up for the short commings of the game. Independant side to side/forward/back movement on the left stick, mouse like aiming on the right stick. Very good setup, also used by Ghost Recon (PS2) I think.
I remember GoldenEye, I played it off a Demo unit at a store & years later at a Christmas party (FFA). Nice game but we only ever owned a N64 for about a week.
Meh, I picked up FCIP, now where's your end of the bargain?
