XBox 360 First Thoughts

I got my XBox 360 back from my brother last weekend. Since I am stuck waiting for drywall guys I figured I would play with it a bit. After hooking it up I migrated my live account to be a 360 account. Then I connected to live and played around a bit. I downloaded some trailers and watched them. 720p trailers on HDTV look quite nice I must say. Then I went and tried out the Live Arcade. I first downloaded the Smash TV trial, which was well Smash TV. It is a perfect port of the original arcade game. Then I played Hexic which is the free Live Arcade game included on the HD. After that I downloaded the trial of Geometry Wars, quite an amazing game. So far I haven't lived long enough to make it beyond the trial time limit, I will probably end up buying it later though. The last thing I did was load up Halo 2. Which also looks amazing. It has been awhile since I played so it is hard to say home much better it looks, but it looks good. The funny thing in all of this is after 2-3 hours of play I haven't yet loaded an actual 360 game. Maybe later.
