Xbox 360 Games Console


The Xbox 360 is one of the most powerful current generation consoles available. Having been out for over a year, the 360 has a great selection of games. I've only owned it for 2 months now and I've already purchased 5 games and there are still more I want for it and TONS are coming out during the holiday season. The greatist thing about the Xbox 360 and what it has over the other consoles is Xbox Live. Its never been so easy to connect with friends and duke it out for bragging rights all accross the world. Not to mention the included headset is a great communication tool. Included with the system is a Wireless Controller, AV cables, 20gb harddrive, and a Headset. The wireless controller is one of the most comfortable controllers out there.

Here are just some of the new Xbox 360 games that are coming out in time for Christmas:

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock drops you into the spotlight of the largest and most legendary rock concert ever. The star-studded soundtrack includes master tracks by such legendary artists as Guns N' Roses, The Rolling Stones, Beastie Boys, Muse and Pearl Jam, with added songs as made legendary by Kiss, Alice Cooper and Heart. Now drop that air guitar, tune your exclusive new Les Paul Guitar Controller and shred the night away with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.


Assassin's Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin's Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change.

The Covenant occupation of Earth has uncovered a massive and ancient object beneath the African sands - an object who's secrets have yet to be revealed. Earth's forces are battered and beaten. The Master Chief's AI companion Cortana is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind - a horrifying Flood intelligence, and a civil war is raging in the heart of the Covenant. This is how the world ends...
