Three hundred and sixty degrees

Xbox 360, probably my purchase of the year, although the car insurance is a close contender.
With the epic failings of the PS3, the 360 is set for a monopoly over the gaming industry that the PS2 held in the last generation. The Wii is fun, and for the price I am glad I bought it, but it remains very much a supplementary console that you buy after a 360. So for anyone and everyone interested in computer games, the Xbox 360 is your first and last port of call.
Just recently I hit 5000 gamer points, with most of that attributed to every achievement on Bioshock and all but one on DiRT. Not to say that I'm a gamerscore fag that obsesses with how high his meaningless number is, but I do appreciate the replayability that individual achievements provide. Assassin's Creed, Gears of War and Halo 3 have all been completed and have cashed in on most of their achievements, but there's still quite a few that I will be going back for, especially related to online multiplayer. I'm still trundling through the brilliant Forza 2, which I find is neither a game you can dedicate yourself to or to completely forget, so even as it was one of the first games I got when I purchased the 360, it still remains one of my most played titles as it sees steady action. All that remains is Dead Rising, which while fun has not had me going back for a whole lot more after I completed it.
My one gaming regret is that I did not buy Test Drive: Unlimited for the 360, but the PC, as I felt the need long before I was seriously thinking about buying a 360. I did play it absolutely loads and love it with a passion, but I did not complete it 100%, and with the lack of achievements I would find little satisfaction in returning to it to do so after such a long time. Although I imagine the other drivers of Oahu rejoice in my absence, as I was the undefeatable king of Quick Challenges.
Next I will be looking to add Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect to my list of games. CoD4 being a simply brilliant title that I know will get a lot of game time, and ME being a very deep RPG that I am thoroughly looking forward to immersing myself in when I finish my current job.
I love my 360, it was worth it enough for all the single player games, but being able to jump into an online multiplayer game of Puzzle Fighter, Gears, Halo, Forza and so much more in a few easy seconds is a fantastic experience that will always keep me coming back for more.
