Xbox 360 collection 2015

I'm not the biggest supporter of the 360. In fact you could say I actively dislike the system, having owned 4 which died and giving up on the 5th. Nevertheless one has to go where the games are - thus I picked up a cheap slim and some games recently.

Forza Horizon

Forza Horizon

My new found love of driving games lead me here. Hopefully this is as much TDU3 as it seems. Edit: And it is..just without the 'cool' avatar stuff. Only 3 stations kinda sucks but Pulse has some great stuff on it. Graphically it looks nice and is fun to play. I could do without the main character looking like a 2fast2furious stunt double and the weird flirting the main female character does whenever you see her..it's just..urgh. Driving is as arcade as arcade can be but it's fun. Customising your rides is cool too. 4/5

Forza Motorsport 4

Forza Motorsport 4

The 'Essentials' edition..which isn't what you'd think it was..in fact it's only half the game..not all the game with DLC as the name would imply. Go figure. Edit: Actually ended up being another copy of Horizon...which is more expensive..gg CEX.

Akai Katana

And my other reason for the 360. Shmups..Shmups everywhere. I don't like horizontal shmups but I hope this will change my feelings on the matter..or i'll just Tate it. Edit: So good..so fucking good. It's rock hard as well. I just wish it was vertical as i find tracking stuff horizontally really hard. 3 different modes mean a variety of game play styles that are different enough from each other. Slash is just insane.

Deathsmiles

Deathsmiles

Ignoring the lolis it's a pretty good game. Very Harryhausen in some of the designs and animation. Edit: Urgh, Lolis. Anyway the game play is fun and easy enough. Just enjoy it for what it is.

DoDonPachi Resurrection

DoDonPachi Resurrection

ehhh, it's okay I guess. Not my really pick for cave's finest. Edit: DDP is as DDP does. Haven't tried all the modes but it's serviceable.

Tenchu Z

Tenchu Z

Well, had to get it didn't I? Not really a great Tenchu game but it's still better than the rest.

Guilty Gear 2: Overture

Guilty Gear 2: Overture

A GG Moba by any other name. No seriously Edit: The tutorial alone baffles me.

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom

This game gets a lot of flack, being more ARPG than tactical juggernaut but I enjoy it. In a sense it's similar to Dark Souls in it's presentation.

Halo 4

Halo 4

I love 1 and ODST. Reach is okay. 2 and 3 are abominations. Never tried 4 - so i'll hope it's more 1 than 3. Edit: Yeah, it's more like 3. Yawn. Least they bought the magnum back.

WarTech: Senko no Ronde

WarTech: Senko no Ronde

Suguri reminded me of this game, so I thought i'd pick it up. Edit: Fun stuff.
