Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Aug 24, 2009 4:15am PDTOh, it's all fun and games here at Shacknews. Chris gallivants around QuakeCon, cosying up to id CEOs and superstars. Nick kicks back at BlizzCon to reacquaint himself with his dear friend the wizaaaaaaard and befriend Diablo 3's monk. Even Maarten's in on the fun, hitting up Gamescom to enjoy countless video games in a sophisticated European manner including Borderlands, which he said looked particularly splendid before sucking on a clove cigarillo.
Me? Well, knowing that events are far more work than they might appear to be, I'm secretly a little glad that I end up staffing the office to post the flood of media, even if it does mean I miss out on playing all the fancy pants video games before the hoi polloi.

So I got myself an XBox 360 for $230 in this deal: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=20735285 . Since I've saved $70 over the Elite I was thinking of buying, recommend me your 2 favourite XBox 360 games. I've already bought Rockband 2. Crossover games that I've already played on PC are: Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, most Valve games, Street Fighter 4 (though I may re-buy this for X360).
Also, any accessories that I should buy? I don't need the wireless adapter, I'll just string Cat5 cable. Extra wireless gamepad obviously, anything else?
Thanks!
