Pre-Halo2, impromptu Halo Beatdown
I like my Xbox. Oh, I like it a lot. The only thing is, I'm use to PC's. I'm use to the "keyboard and mouse" controls of game playing.
I'm also use to multiplayer games. It's nothing for me to fire up the old boxen and grab a few rounds of Tribes Vengence without thinking "wow, I'm playing against people online!" That's the main reason I can't see myself paying for Xbox Live.
But, one thing Xbox does that I'm not use to is the great communal entertainment it offers. Lately, I've been having Xbox "Beatdowns" at the house. Typically I'll provide food, my bro-in-law will bring over his tv and someone else will bring by their system. We'll hook them up over the LAN I have wired through the house and get down on each other, usually using games that support System-link. Fun times and plenty of memories!
I wasn't looking to have another one for about a month, but with the impending release of Halo2 next Tuesday, my bro-in-law decided it was time to waste another Saturday (emphasis on Saturday) going through Halo's cooperative mode. Oh yeah...there will be some thorough wearing out of four or five other people in free for all Deathmatch ;-)
