Christmas = Xbox 360 = Happy Koda.

Meh..Halo 1 and 2 were tons better than 3 I think... They changed too many things that were just so 'Halo'

I like Half Life 2, one of the better games for the 360, along with Battlefield Bad Company

Forza 2 is also real good.

Oh, I'm happy with whatever I get. Just as long as I can spend time with my whole family, as a family. As well as bask in the joy and merriment of the Christmas spirit.

How about giving back to others? I don't mean giving gifts either. There are so many people that literally have nothing, I think Christmas should be less about material goods and giving/receiving gifts than it is about being appreciative for what you have. Spend Christmas (with your family) at a soup kitchen or other charitable place handing out a hot meal or coats and blankets to those who can't afford them. It's not about doing them a favor though, it's really about being a good person, religious or otherwise.

That's just they way we see it. I'm becoming more and more disgusted by the commercialization of the Holidays.

Last year I went and bought 20 Little Ceasars Pizza's (only 5$ a peice, few of my buddies helped as well) and took them to the local Shelter. The look on the peoples faces is unforgettable. That made alot of people very happy, and very Full!

Well, there are no soup kitchens around here or shelters for the homeless. But if there was one, I would donate my time there. I COULD go do some work at the senior icitizens appartment/community thing, but there's people that do that for a living and they don't allow people to donate thier time and effort.

There is a HUGE difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Such as the spartan/elite customization, better graphics, ENDLESS supplies of maps and games, as well as the campeign mode which is more fun to play over and over again rather than the Halo 2 version where every thing happens the same.. every.. time. At least with three there could be a random brute hiding around the corner with a hammer when there was originally a brute with a spiker. Gears never seemed fun for me. I'm looking more for games that I like and that many of my friends play/have. Fable 2 is on the list sometime, but not in the near future.

The customization was cool I'll give you that. The graphics were eh, they really weren't THAT much better than 2, in fact I think they could have been a lot better given the 360's capabilities. Campaign mode sucked so much, WORST ending ever in a video game. Halo has little replay value solo, and online they made it so easy for people to get REALLY good; it's like they levelled the playing field which I'm not really into. I played it for a weekend, beat the campaign, and played on Live. Wasn't impressed.

Gears is a much better game because it takes strategy. You can't just rush into a mobfest otherwise you'll get killed. In Halo I was just able to rush into everything with the shotgun. It worked way too well. You have to plan your attack and defense depending on the mode. Plus, Gears' online game modes are way more creative. My fav is execution, where you have to kill the enemy team's leader. It's tough.

If your friends don't have CoD4, that's a problem. That game is probably the best, if not one of the best, on the 360 for multiplayer right now.

My biggest problem with COD is that you can't multiplayer online. I don't like playing LIVE solo its just more fun with a guest. I still play my halo 3 bout 3 or 4 nights a week. My screen name on Live is Drifterrex anyone that wants can add me. Forza 2 is probley the best racing game on the 360 as of right now. (Believe me I've tried them all). And JohnnyU is right christmas has fallen into a complete material holiday. So if you can try to give something back. You don't have homeless shelters thats fine... you have many american troops that won't be home for the holidays and sadly some will never be home. Send some christmas cards to our boys it's amazing what letters from "home" can do. Just an idea my $0.02
Happy Holidays guys... Be Safe...

I'll admit, campaign in Halo 3 lacks what Halo 2 had. Legendary in three is like hard in Halo 2.
