My 360 has decided it does not like discs. It demonstrates this by scratching the hell out of them. It chewed through COD4 and Mass Effect. I was able to buff COD4 back to life, but it was too late for Mass Effect. Fortunately it was still covered under the 30 day warranty at Futureshop and I was able to do a disc exchange. So now I am out a 360 until it gets repaired. Well I can play all the XBLA games I want or download some Xbox Classics, but I am not putting anything in the DVD tray. This will be 360 number two since 2005.

Finished Halo 3 and COD4, by finished I mean got through the solo campaigns. I am not too concerned about achievements or online ranks. Both took about a week of regular playing on there hardest difficulties. I miss games that took longer than a week to finish. Are games getting easier? shorter? or both? After 20years of gaming can I safely say I have seen it all?

 So I picked up COD4 last night and played it a fair amount. Enough to get the gist of it and it is a great game, but I am sad to report it is just not Halo3. For starters Halo3 is set in space. It is an epic battle between a cyborg space marine dude with armour, and shields and futuristic weapons. COD4 you are a spec ops dude fighting in a somewhat realistic conflict right out of next years headlines. You have basic guns and some Kevlar body armour, but that’s it.
