Those of you who have Xbox 360s, comment with your gamertag and we’ll send you an invite to play TONIGHT at 9:30 pm! That’s soon!
This is a nice chance to have some good, community based fun. Invite your friends over to your house and play split screen while Alan pwns each and every one of them, and I literally turn the other way and run from him.

Huh, are there mouse and keyboard accessories for the 360? I might be as bad as you, Rich, with a gamepad (or are they back to calling them joysticks?), but with the mouse/keyboard combo, I’d have a good fighting chance. Pew pew pew.

Dane,
Controllers are the Future.
Sorry, no mouse and keyboard accessories.
Look, my wife, who had never played an FPS, picked up Halo in a few weeks…er months, and now, most days she’s better than I am (or at least as good)!
Well, maybe. I admit to finding analog sticks facile controls for third-person games like GTA or Shadow of the Colossus or God of War. It’s only the FPS stuff I find so awkward. During the FPS-style portions of GTA:SA, I seriously almost destroyed the moon Tetsuo-style in my rage. A part of the game that I would have passed on one try on my PC still remains unbeaten to this day (fortunately it was one of the gimmicky side missions).
So tell me about the 360. Does it plug in via cable internet? Through my wireless router? Please tell me not through television cable (I don’t think I could spring for both a console and cable tv).

There’s a LAN output, so you just run a cable straight from the 360 to the router. Yeah, cable has nothing to do with it.
If you REALLY want to connect it wirelessly, you’ll have to spring for an $80 adapter which is lame and not worth it. I ended up just moving my wireless router behind my TV.
