Laugh... it's working...
I sort of suspected that - as when making their Wii's I was able to give the husband his grey hair AND mustache ..
It really is a blast!
Red Steel is a blast. Call of Duty 3 is kicking my butt though.
Your arms are tired? Wait till you have to row that boat. lolol
i still want to know what they were thinking when they came up with that name.I think it's great. It's easy to remember, easy to google on, etc.
I just wish I hadn't already purchased my kids an XBox 360 for Christmas, because I think they'd love this. Oh well, probably for the best as now I won't be tempted to play the darn thing.
The worst nightmare of the crotchety technology-phobes of Free Republic has arrived...a video game that actually promotes physical fitness. Not only that, but it seems like a great way to get people together to have fun in a social setting.
I guess they'll have to find something new to gripe about.
Trust me, I think they'll be quite glad to have the Xbox 360.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
I don't want to have that in the house, because even if I am the only one playing it, my kids would see it. That's probably for the best, as I don't really play video games now and I can't really spare the time. The XBox 360 is a gift for the kids, not a time suck for Dad.
I watched them playing it yesterday and it looked like they were killing aliens, not people, but you're right, it did splattter. I asked about the "blood" aspect and evidently, from what these kids told me you could "turn off" the extreme content which includes the blood graphics and the swearing. Don't know if that's right, or if they were just telling a mom what she wanted to hear.
Yes, Gears of War is extremely violent and full of profanity. Honestly, I don't think it's THAT good of a game. It's way overrated. Basically, it's a regular shooter with very realistic blood, gore, and the F-word.

The Wii jokes will never get old.
Mother : Son, what are you doing?
Son : I'm playing with my Wii!
Mother : You'll go blind doing that!
