Woah. I never thought I'd spark two pages of debate.

Okay for one, I'm a girl. For some this will be enough of an answer.

Two, and I'm sure this has already been said for the most part, yes I play WoW for fun because it's a really good game. Do I really need any more of an answer? If you're going to play something, play the best. It's constantly evolving, extremely open and flexible and I can interact with strangers and friends when I want.

My friends introduced me to it almost 2 years ago, and now I have a 71. Yes I may be mediocre, yes I do suck like most. But the fact is I just play for fun. I appreciate those who take it super serious because I know I'll never get to their level. But I do find it funny when people who I don't know flip out at me because I'm not as addicted (for the lack of a better word). "OMG U SUX CUZ U RNT 80 YET!"

Alright, I'll join in.

Personally I think that the yelling and berating of 'newbs' hurts gaming quite a lot and discourages new players. If you want a serious game, have a group or clan you play with, don't be an asshat to people in normal servers.

Also, if you're going to be elitist about a game, don't pick a technicolor space bollocks shooter with auto aim and customisable hats.

Is there an alternate controller for the xbox that is more like a playstation controller?

[andsoitgoes]

NAJ - I'm ashamed.

The 360 controller is the GODS of all controllers. I hate going to my PS3 controller, there's just so much more control of the analog stick when working any games. I would love LittleBigPlanet so much more if I could use a 360 controller.

And wait - aren't you lacking in arms? I'm... confused.

I can use the PS controllers because there's no trigger button on the back. I can't reach the trigger. But if there was a PS like controller I could use the XBOX360

What is everyones favourite new Xbox 360 game.

My mother wants to buy me a 360 game for Christmas but i haven't looked at new games in so long, i have no idea what's good. The newest game i have is GTA IV, so anything after that would be helpful.

Oh, and not Gears Of War 2.. i hated the first one.

No offence as i'm just curious, but how do you use a controller?

[andsoitgoes]

Ah, gotcha. I don't know if there is anything. You mean that if you had the trigger buttons all flush like the PS, it would work?

Serial - Depends on what you're interested in. Dead Space is interesting, if not unique. Mass Effect is Bioware's Opus, IMO. There's Bioshock, Left 4 Dead if you want online

Fallout, Fable, The Orange Box, Project Gotham Racing, Oblivion (which everyone has decided is the DEFINITIVE of all games, sigh), Dead Rising, Halo 3 (ehhhhhhh, but people love it)

There's a lot.
