Played an Xbox 360 last night
I was in Super Target last night buying a steam cleaner as Pix’s house breaking isn’t going as well as we would like and they had a shiny new Xbox 360 on display, when I first walked past there was a single guy there but when I lost my girlfriend and got back there it was free. So I navigated through their demo disk to Kameo and WOW! Previously I was snubbing my nose at the Xbox 360 but now my mind has been changed! In Kameo your actual character is this scrawny looking girl fairy that can hover with her little wings but she can morph (well actually it is more like mecha with her being inside what she morphs into) into various things like a leaf monster that is good for some monster slapping fun, a big ice bear looking thing that can climb up ice & throw things and a spiky ball thing that lets you get your Metroid morph ball fix.
The graphics are pretty damn cool with dragons flying around the landscape and the camera following them, it seems there is a huge area that can be panned and zoomed within a level so it would be very interesting to see what the rest of the game looks like. I may just have to pick myself up an Xbox 360 now after all but it won’t be for some time though given my recent Treo purchase, all the cleaning equipment we’ve bought recently and then there is the whole christmas thing.
