I'm a picky bastard and I've noticed some pretty rediculous stuff.

1. When you throw a grenade he arm makes the motion and the grenade appears a half second later from his knee.

2. The grenade makes the sound of hitting concrete no matter what surface you throw it at.

Things like that piss me off. I'm a sound whore so those types of things erk me.

I'm still getting used to the third person view, and I also still think Rainbow Six 3 is better. I play on a 85" projector and the fact that the body takes up half the screen is annoying.

I just missed out on that one by like 7,000. I've taken a break from 360ing and went back to some of the titles I missed on the Xbox. Specifically Fable, San Andreas and Half Life 2. Only thing that I don't like about them is I get disc read errors sometimes on SA and Half Life 2 is a glitchy mess (boxes flying through walls?).

@Matt: Actually, I'm pretty sure I have autoaim disabled. Although, I just finished playing through COD2 on the 360 and I know for sure that I had autoaim disabled and my focus was jacked on a number of occasions.

@Anthony: Yeah dude, I'm at 263,000! Just got my 250K achievement the other day. You best get at it!

I picked this up last week and have been mightily impressed.

As you said the explosions are awesome! The huge one just before you have to protect the Mexican Pres in a massive stand off almost had me cowering for cover!

One thing that bugs me about the AI is having to tell tanks and air support to take out enemy targets. I'd like to think in real life that if an Apache saw a tank shelling 7 shades of crap out of his comrades he'd have the sense to take the bloody thing down without being asked! But I spose it adds to the game.

I haven't had a chance to play online yet, but I've got a day off work tomoro so I'll give it a spin then.

While I'm here, please stop bettering my score on Geometry Wars ;O)

Holy autoaim, Batman. I really hope that isn't in the PC version. Overall, the game looks very fun, nice graphics, excellent sound, we'll see about how it feels control-wise with keyboard/mouse. I miss the GR series, played the first one and enjoyed it.

Kim: I recorded a movie of Oblivion, if you'd like to check it out: http://limefork.com/ (disregard the domain name, it's to host large files.) Also, should have a review up of it plus more videos on my site. The short gritty version? Definitely Game of the Year contender.

@Stewart: Yeah, I'm hoping to get my hands on a new capture card with component in. Trouble is, they seem to run for around $1000.

@Kim: I rented Oblivion the other night and returned it first thing in the morning. Not an RPG fan at all, but I had heard really good things about this game. I played for about half an hour and wanted to shoot myself in the face.

Hell, it looks good. Biggest fear for these types of games on a console system, is fighting with the controller, but from what I can see here it looks really sweet.

Have you picked up Oblivion Matt? I _really_ want to see a review, and gameplay footage, from that one

@Matt: Yeah I forced myself to finish it off

Shame that the videos only capped at 640×480. Mind you I don't think there are many affordable capture card that take cmponent or VGA inputs.
