    Finally, I've reached 10,000 posts in the GameSpot forums. Finally. Sitting at work, rainy day, 2:43pm, wearing that Angry Birds T-Shirt I bought yesterday. I'll remember this day.

    .... To be honest, I love it. Really, I do. For many things like:

    1) I love the new slim design it's sexy and in white it looks even better. The controller as sexy as ever and the Kinect sensor looks much better in white. I don't I just like my electronis in white.

    2) Kinect is awesome. Maybe I'm late to the party, I don't care I love this thing. It recognizes your voice, and movements, I spent all night playing Kinect Sports with my girlfriend, boxing, table tennis and volleyball are what I mainly played with her yesterday and to be honest I hadn't had so much fun in a long time. We really enjoyed it and she loves it.

    3) The silence when it's playing a disc is SO much better than my previous Xbox, obviously, the one I had was from 2009, this one was manufactured January 2012.

    4) The design is much better, improved. My ONLY little complaint with the design would be that I can't install an HDD from the older Xbox models but I don't mind since I think they sell USB adapted HDDs for the Slim version.

    For now that's my review of my new console. It came with 4GB flash memory, and I have Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports as well as Halo Reach and 3 months free of Xbox Live. I'll start playing online as of next week as well as have my new Gametag. Until then I'll keep loving my new console.

    So, I love video games, I love my 360 and PS3. I love to sit on my couch for 2-3 hours and enjoy a good campaign, story or match. But, I think people today are losing focus of what a real game should be. And by people I mean developers and gamers in general.

    I'm at my local EB Games store and I see all these little kids begging their dads to buy them the latest Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I watch them with tears of sadness in my eyes as I see games like Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City and RAGE being ignored by them. I mean Activision can spend MILLIONS on marketing and advertising but for my $60 I'd rather get Batman or Uncharted instead of a repetitive CoD. I bought RAGE that day and though I found it to be buggy and have some texture issues, I loved the game. It's an FPS yes, but it had a story, weapons, setting, characters and feel different from other FPS'. I liked Call Of Duty up until Black Ops. I loved Black Ops, it was short and out of the Modern Warfare world. But after reading reviews of MW3 and seeing what it offers as a package I feel a deja vu. Yet it sells and my question is why? I find the people who play this and only this makes them amateurs in my view. I don't like the direction it takes because games that have taken longer to develop and more effort put into story, character background and Single Player campaign are either ignored or simply get shelved and price is lowered and they don't sell as much as you would expect them to and then no more sequels or support for that game from the developer because it didn't sell as much as it was expected to sell.

    I don't like this and actually I'm kind of glad that MW3 is having a negative impact amongst gamers that way Treyarch and Activision can maybe focus on making something new. I mean stick with the FPS but make a new IP or something. Modern Warfare was fun and good while it lasted but it's time to move on now.

    I'm not trashing CoD or anything I just think it's time for people to enjoy something else. I know I do. I don't regret missing out on MW3 and playing RAGE or Uncharted 3 because they're great games that are worth my money and time.

    I don't want the video game industry to go the wrong way or anything. I want developers to give me more awesome games and not useless sequels, prequels or expansions.

    I want them BOTH! But, I need a review or summary from someone who has played it. Are they good? Good story? Weapons? Characters? etc.... I'd really like it if someone helped

    I'm not a BIG RPG an but I've gotten a certain ''taste'' for RPGs lately. I got Final Fantasy on my PSP and it's good, and I'll get Crisis Core later

    As the title says it: Does this Global Economic Crisis, means we'll have a bad holiday season? Oil prices going up, companies closing or simply laying employees off. Some stores here have already said they might bring prices up this holiday season, also saw on the news a couple of days ago that customers have spent less money this year than last. And governments making loans WTF? BTW, Ontario classified as a Poor Province? LOOOL! (No hard feelings Ontario people)

    Last week at work they cut off an hour of our schedule, and my boss told me this morning that he'll be firing some people from there, but he told ME not to worry, yes I'm S.P.E.C.I.A.L. 8)

    Some economists say that this will get worse, others say it will get better by February. But, only time will tell what will happen.

    Do you think this will get better? Will Canadians have a good Holiday Season? Will Obama save the world?

    I ca't understand why. Why Sheep let this happen? How can they let idiotic fanboys in SW bash the hell out of them, and they stand back and do nothing. I mean, at this moment I'm annoyed at seeing COUNTLESS Resistence 2, LBP, GeOW threads. And where are Sheep threads? ''What are Sheep hyping?'', ''Wii has nothing this year!'' these are the kinds of threads that we can find in SW AT THIS VERY MOMENT. Now, I know Sheep are the quieter type, the fanboy that doesn't run their mouth everyday single day of the year hyping ONE game, I admire that but come on speak up for yourselves for once, defend yourselves for God's sake. And as for silly Lemmings and Cows, they haven't learned that hyping a game so much can lead to review disaster here( I personally don't care about reviews), I mean Lemmings were laughing at everybody back when Microsoft announced they were publishing Ninja Gaiden 2, all Lemmings said was ''HA! HA! AAAE for sure'' ''Yeah, we rule NG2 is automatic AAAE'' and look what happened to that! Cows when they hyped Ratchet and Clank, Lair look what happened there! I'm surprised to see many people still making this stupid mistake of hyping and overhyping games and then whining because GameSpot is biased. I respect Sheep's attitude for hyping games, but taking punishment from idiotic fanboys? THAT! I disagree with. Sheep have GOT to get defensiveand defend their turf for once, stop getting bullied and kicked around like they're inferior, YOUR CONSOLE HAS SOLD THE MOST AROUND THE WORLD!!!! Jeez!
