Bioshock had a great stylized feel to it. The atmosphere added dramatically to the game.

so is the 360 a loud machine? 

mine seems like it makes too much noise, even more than my computer.  not sure if it's supposed to sound like that or something is wrong.

yeah it's loud as farg. you won't notice it after a while.

Diomedes

it's loud only if you didn't buy the 360Fridxe, which simultaneously cools and buffers fan noise

you can download games to your hard drive, so it doesn't run the disc. it drops the sound level a ton if you have the hard drive space for it. I have the 20 Gb model and I can only download one game at a time. Go to the screen where it has your game in xbox live and hit the Y button, then it gives you option to download to hard drive

not yet, i just got the thing last week and am not online with it yet. 

nhl09 is fun as shtein, but it's hard to score still.  i lost 7-3 to the penguins yesterday. 

Zanshin

You might want to have a word with your defensemen.  Scoring 3 goals really isn't bad at all...letting in 7 is more of the problem there.

Zanshin

Oh, and I did pick up Fight Night Round 3.  Found it for $16.  Man, that game is a lot of fun.

Diomedes

Glad you did.  I love the controls.  And it's a blast against a friend.

It's one of those games that's better against a friend in person. Harder to give the knowing "I'm kicking your ass" looks over the net.
