Why Did I Wait So Long? The Xbox Rocks!

I’m Now in the Xbox Club!

So on a whim a couple of weeks ago my wife bought me an Xbox 360.

I realize I’m about 2 years late to this party – though I was a fairly-early-adopter of the Wii – but I’m now a convert.

With some free time on my hands lately, I was able to work my way through all 100+ hours of Fallout 3. Fallout is a post-apocalyptic role playing game that takes you around the destroyed Washington DC area killing mutants, hunting down mercenaries, and helping the resistance political movement.

Fallout 3 for Xbox 360

My grade: B+

Since completing Fallout 3, I also picked up the new Civilization. This new version, Civilization Revolutions is similar to previous versions of “Civ”. It’s a little bit more cartoonish, and gameplay actually seems a little more simplified from previous versions. My only real complaint about it is that the character voices in the game were recorded in gibberish-speak, not English, which is really distracting.

By the way, if anyone is up for some multiplayer Settlers of Catan on Xbox Live, shoot me an email or drop a comment here.
