Wrong. But that's okay, take your close minded opinions back to the shop with you.

Try reading some more of the thread... Or actually suggesting some 'good' games...?

Why don't you look at future releases which are exclusive to the 360 and make your own mind up?

Do you need the money? (Presumably not since you bought it in the first place, unless your financial situation has changed since then) If not then arguably you will lose more than you would gain by selling it.

How about helping us to help you by telling us what DOES inspire you?

Ninjas?

History buff?

Sports fan?

Armchair General?

I've recommended many in hundreds of threads. You're the one in question, not me. Try searching the forum or looking at metacritic or something.

My PS2 was used for games like GTA (all of them), GT (although bored of its sterile gameplay now) Tony Hawks games, SSX3, Colin McRae Rally, TimeSplitters 2.

I couldnt afford it at the time, and cant afford it now. It was an inpulse buy with the plan of "ive got a job now, ill buy some coolgames for it".

Currently on the PC im playing lots of FPS games (mouse+kb > pad) and GRID.

sell it if you dont want it or find any reason to play it
they aint dear so if you fancy one again in the future can do so

Ok, everything that I like and is good is also available on the PC, and cheaper - COD4, Orange Box, GRID, DiRT, Burnout Paradise, Lego Games, and GTA4 will be too.

That was the reason I sold my 360 yet I still have my Wii. I am a PC gamer and the 360 games were too similar to the PC games, the experience wasn't any better on the 360. I am also prefer playing those games on my PC due to superior controls and extras such as maps & mods. However the Wii is significantly different to the PC so I enjoy it when I need a change.

Why don't you make your own mind up? Seems a bit stupid asking us why you should keep your console. If you don't like it, sell it. We don't care! Harsh but true! Oh and it's not like you didn't have chance to read up about the games/console before you spent the dosh on it. :rolleyes:

GTA, Tony Hawks and Colin McRae were all on PC though?

Indeed they were... but at the time I was a console fanboy. Ive only been a PC gamer for a couple of years.

Played some Mario Kart tonight, loved it! And drunken tennis is always awesome!

Fun for a while, got boring fast

pgr4?

Nice demo, just I prefer GRID

Shamikebab said:
Skate

Very nice game, thouroughly enjoyed the demo, considering buying seen as its cheap now, if I keep the console

The Darkness

The ZP review is about right, its very meh... Auto aim to overcome the fact that FPS on a pad is fail just sucks.

Kameo

Good fun, but dunno if id buy it...

Halo 3

If only you knew the hatred I have for Halo...

Forza 2

Was told this was awesome, then was very dissapointed with it

Crackdown

Cell shaded, which is cool. Trying to be GTA, which isnt...

Saints Row

Not yet played, ill reserve judgement.

Shamikebab · 7 Jul 2008 at 11:10

The Darkness is excellent, Crackdown is not trying to be GTA in any shape or form, people just see 'open city' and assume that. The gameplay isn't remotely like GTA. You prefer GRID to PGR? Well that explains quite a lot

mehuk · 7 Jul 2008 at 12:53

sell it

in your mind you are already questioning it and will have a 'this would be better on the PC' outlook on games

get as much money back as you can

btw i have a 360 and enjoy it in spurts along with PC gaming

Wyrdo · 7 Jul 2008 at 13:16

It seems you're never going to be happy, just sell the bloody thing and stop whining.

Couldn't agree more.

Then there's the FPS on a pad comment. He's just close-minded, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sell it m8 you seem to like your PC more, upgrade your gfx card with the money because at the end of the day the 360 is just a poor mans pc.

rjk · 7 Jul 2008 at 15:27

if you liked tony hawk then buy skate

spend 15 minutes getting used to the controls then spend the rest of your time loving it

the fact that you got a console for one game when it WILL come out on your platform of choice seems like backwards logic

if you are going to sell it - do it

get your money back and put it towards something you will find useful

its really not worth starting a should i do this thread
