Minecraft on Xbox
Just trying to get a feel for anyone who is currently on xbox playing minecraft. If you are at all interested, i am currently hosting a server, just join my game. My gamertag is Darubian of course. The server will run 24/7 as long as possible and i have already added a lot for player ease. But i am interested in the number of people joining. I am currently having conversation with a gaming community to bring a competitive style of play to the game. Maybe some of you might like it.

making it hard to justify buying when I have a better version on pc
edit - also modded to have 1024 block height limit
Halo 2 was best but I actually really enjoy Reach multiplayer (love going balls deep into the Action Sack).
True FPS games feel like you are actually shooting, for me, stuff like America's Army and Metro's unique and wacky gun system works. It makes it challenging.
Also Treyarch sucks. They destroyed Cod when they made the 3rd one. And now also the desperation as they struggle to become original so therefore adopt addons like zombie mode from other games. The problem with Cod is its pretty much now just a spray game, with VERY little skill. Look at games like CS and CSS, the emphasis has been from the start that its a game that determines the great from the average. You spray, you miss. You burst and aim, you get it right.
Plus I've always been a PC man myself and I feel console FPS are pointless as it all has autoaim systems. If a console player played against a PC player (which was what CS:GO was going to be until they canceled it due to 'imbalance'), the console player would get raped.
In addition, Activision is just scamming all you fanboys every 6 months with a new release that is pretty much the same as the previous release so they can charge you £39 for it and provide 2 hours of singleplayer fun and a few hours of multiplayer. The engine stays the same, in fact the games should have been addons/expansions rather than standalone releases.
Fallout had that kinda intrigue. I know Fallout isnt for everyone as it isnt a FPS (the fps system is absolutely retarded I agree...stupid % system), but its been from the start a brilliant RPG series.
I'm not into gaming as much as I used to be, if I was id probably preorder CS:GO, i know id love it. Just dont have that drive anymo
Edit: fps isnt my favorite type, mind you. I prefer an RPG with a deep, immersive storyline. If it takes under 60h to beat, it wont be as good as it could have been.
Mass Effect and Elder Scrolls are two of the best RPGs I have ever played. The immersion into the games was amazing.
I am no fan of Treyarch. They are the despoilers Call of Duty. They did a decent jon with Black Ops but it still wasn't Infinity Ward quality. I played the beta for BF3 and enjoyed it. I just havent bought the game because I find MW3 sufficient for my multiplayers FPS games. And as a change of pace I have Reach.
I am most looking forward to the Elder Scrolls MMORPG that was on the cover of this months game informer. As I get older I become much more selective on the games I spend my money on and the time I have to play them. After work and time with the family it is harder and harder trying to find time to play.
To answer your question, the only good Console FPS games ever made are Goldeneye and Halo CE....thats it.
CS:GO i'd love to preorder and beta test but stupid Steam still havent got back to me. THey give me gay beta to dota2 which i had signed up waaay after i did for CS:Go and you'd think with the 160 games i've bought off Steam, they'd at least give me CS:GO.... I am still hopeful of a Wheel of Time MMORPG :P. LoTRo was great but once it went p2p, the community shrank and you started to realise the imbalance and flaws...so I quit.
