I personally love it. I own all PC versions and it takes out enough of the stuff that was trivial to speed up the game. You can finish a game easily in 2-5 hours.
There are a few things I wish it had but the ease of the Windows Live gaming experience is worth some of the stuff they took away.
I was afraid they would just port it to console, but it actually seems they built it fromt he ground up for the console.

I just had to start Hearts of Iron 2 again. Now I am spending my evenings waiting for Rommel to encircle Moscow and Guderian to keep Stalingrad. And soon I realize that Blitzgrieg isn't enough, quit the game and notice that it is 1:00 AM

I just bought an Xbox 360 so I could play Fable 2. Sweet game so far. Other than that I play FIFA 08 on the Wii every couple days for a couple hours, but I still suck no matter how much I practice.
Kipru have you seen the beta shots for HOI 3? Hearts of Iron 2 was/is great, this looks even more (!) involved.

Recently started playing Force Unleashed.
Gotta say, I'm torn over this game. The story seems really cool, but every 30 min or so I get stuck in the terrain unable to move. That plus the ridiculous amount of loading screens makes it frustrating has heck to play.

I just finished Dead Space (LOOOOOOOOVED IT) and started playing FarCry2. Maybe it's because Dead Space was such a good game, but FarCry 2 is painful. The enemies always respawn, it's a whole lot of driving and getting shot at, and the missions are boring.
I think I'll try Fable 2.

Ok I just started Fable 2... so far I love it. It's like a more in depth more complicated Zelda (but I'm barely into the game)

Spider-man: Web of Shadows. Great game, love the controls and the mid-air fights. Web-slinging is a piece of cake too with some added features that make it pretty simple to transition from swinging to running up the side of a building to zip-lining.

I just finished Rainbow Six: Las Vegas and am currently playing Pure. It is an ATV game which I find really fun, if not particularly engaging or challenging. I play it on the elliptical and it makes the time fly. I don't like racing games as a rule but like the tricks.
Prefer the shooters. Loved GOW and will get GOW2 when it is out.

+1, genius game. i need to do a full computer upgrade right now to run it better though.
fallout3 will be amazing on PC, ive been playin it 2 nights on xbox but i dont like playing FPS on consoles.
Oblivion was amazing on PC and Fallout 3 is almost the same as it so far, the slow down mode where you choose where to shoot for which percentage is awesome so far

I'll be playing some Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 later this week. Considering whether to get Gears of War 2 AND Fable 2. GOW 2 is a definite though.

Finally broke down and I'm playing NHL 09 on a loaner xbox. My bap has 21 goals and 5 assists in the first 15 games in Quad Cities.
What a home run feature by EA, why would anyone play another mode.

Is this game similar in game style to Mass Effect? In other words if I liked Mass Effect would i like this game? Or if I hated Oblivion would I hate this game?

I think if you loved Mass Effect, you would love this game. It's made by the same developers who made Oblivion, but it isn't really the same at all. The levelling up system, for one, is totally different. The combat is amazing. The dialogue is 100 times better.
This game is a must buy! SOOO AWEOMSMEEE!
