Gamers...what are you playing right now?

This. We have more than 6 feet between us and the TV length wise, but width is an issue. A friend of mine who purchased and brought his over is considering re-arranging his living room to be able to use his Kinect properly, which is pretty crazy because I have to be honest -- I wouldn't go to those lengths.

This isn't an issue for you guys since you live in a house Joe, or for us, but it's problematic for people that live in an apartment building since a lot of the Kinect Adventures games involve a crapload of jumping, and I can foresee a lot of noise complaints as a result. You've got little ones though Joe so it might be a fun family thing for sure. I don't think I'll be interested in purchasing unless someone like EA jumps in and adds more functionality into their sports games (like Fifa goalie control or NHL goalie control)

So when you guys are talking about spacial problems is it simply having enough room to physically move around or are there some sensor issues with the machine if the room doesn't fit certain dimiesions? I have a big but narrow family room that I am sure will be a fine fit for the actualy movements however I would prefer not to have to readjust due to the sensor having issues.

No noise issues here and you are right on the money Matt - this would be something for me and the family to smash around to for fun - we are far from hard-core gamers but I would prefer something with a little more meat than the Wii, if only for the blu-ray capabilities.

Bottom line is, you cannot have anything other than your body in the field of play. If you have , say, an ottoman between you and the Kinect sensor, the system won't work.

If you're looking for more meat, then buy a PS3 with the PS Move attachment especially since Xbox doesn't have Bluray capability, only DVD.
 
Picked up call of duty black ops prestige edition last night at the midnight launch. Played it for about an hour last night before I went to bed and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with treyarch. Graphics and sound are amazing. Gameplay is just like mw1 and 2. The maps are nice and big with alot of hiding spots(at least on the maps I played). I find so far that it's alot more camper friendly than previous editions which I like. I hate run and gunners; especially those freaking knifers

Damn, I can't pick up Black Ops till I get back in town next week. I can't wait to get my copy, hopefully I can eclipse 2.0 KDR like in MW2.

my thoughts on black ops! i wish i could get a full refund! this is the worst game in call of duty franchise and i will stick with mw2! its not as good as they said it would be!
 
I'm waiting to pick up my copy of Black Ops, but since I think playing online with strangers is completely and utterly lame (friends are OK), and have no intention of ever playing any of the COD games on line, I think I'll be pleasantly surprised once I sit down to play it.

why do you think its the worst in the franchise? i mean if you're comparing it to MW1 or 2, obviously its not as good as those games were revolutionary to FPS's. but to call it the worst in the franchise with no statements to back it up is lame :p

Dude you are not alone. 3 of my guitar students bought the game last night and all 3 said not to get it. They basically said it's gets boring very quick. Is that what you found?
 
To me, Black Ops seems like Madden in the sense that it's the previous year's release with a few minor tweaks. Not enough there for me to drop $60 on it brand new.

the graphics are not good and i dont know why people are settleing for it?

doesnt matter cause i cant return it cause gamestop only offers $25 for it so i will stick with the real call of duty MW2...
 
i know everyone is on the black ops warwagon right now but growing up as a fan of hokuto no ken (fist of the north star) [<--see avatar] i was more than amped that they came out with a game for xbox in the vein of dynasty warriors but stayed pretty true to the manga storyline.

so yes, while i've been quarantined this weekend, i logged about 20+ hours playing fist of the north star: ken's rage.
 
Just reserved a copy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I played the hell out of Assassin's Creed 2 (one of my top three games of all-time) and I can't wait to get into this one.

As for the COD games I bought MW2 and played it for maybe a week, just could not get into it like other have.

I just finished the campaign mode in COD BO. I liked the story but was a little up set that it only took 5 hours to beat on hardened. Have only played a couple of multiplayer games so far and well I like MW2 better in that regard, but it may just take some getting used too. However the Zombie mode is awesome and overall makes this game worth the buy.
