The day I picked up my Xbox 360, I spent a fair bit of time checking out all the accessories and deciding which ones to get. I was bummed to discover the only headset available was the standard Microsoft one that’s big, ugly and cheap looking. I never had the original Xbox Live headset as I got my Xbox just before Halo 2 was released and some friends of mine at an Xbox PR company hooked me up with the limited edition Halo 2 headset. That little thing was great! It was small, sleek and comfortable. Lucky for us, the company behind the Halo 2 headset has done it again – this time for the Xbox 360.
Just a couple days ago (March 28), the GameCom X30 from Plantronics was released. They got in touch with me and asked if I’d like to try it out – to which I replied with a hearty “hell yeah!” It arrived a few days later and I was pleased to find it lived up to the standard set by it’s predecessor – at least, at fin appearance. I couldn’t wait to try it out and and what a perfect week with the Battlefield 2 Modern Combat demo just having been released (which is radass, I might add).

I may be able to wait to drop a few hundred on an Xbox 360, but I couldn’t resist picking up a controller to use on my PC. They don’t come cheap – I paid close to $60 (CDN) and I almost wish I hadn’t.
For whatever reason, there hasn’t been a whole lot of chatter on this topic. Which is why I was so eager to pick one up. I have a couple Logitech gamepads, but they’re nowhere near as good as the Xbox controller. Since the first time I squeezed those triggers, I’ve never looked back. Best game controller design ever! Especially for racing games. With most gamepads, it’s all or nothing. With an Xbox controller, the triggers act as a third axis (z) allowing you to apply as much or little pressure as desired. Since I’ve been playing Need For Speed Most Wanted a lot these days, I was itching for those triggers and picked up a 360 controller on release day.

People love year-end lists right? Yeah, me too!
Now, first off. I am only one man. One busy man at that. But I do feel I’ve put in my fair share of hours into gaming over the past year. Some of these hours spent playing games that may not have come out in 2004, but may have still been amongst the best I played. Also keep in mind that I don’t own a PS2. So you’re notta gonna see any mention of Snake Eater or San Andreas in here. Anyways, of all the amazing games…
