Xbox 360 Playable at Wal-Mart

hattan writes "Wal-Mart has playable Xbox 360s on display with demos of Call of Duty 2, Kameo, and King Kong. Joystiq has a look at what the setup looks like, with a rundown on locations where you can play." Gamespot provides more details on the setup, including the news that you'll be able to download content from these kiosks once the systems are on the shelves. Unrelatedly, but interestingly, Xbox.com has revealed a deep level of interconnection with the new gamer card system between the 360, Xbox Live, and Xbox.com. You'll apparently be able to look at your gamer card on the web, because Microsoft likes value adding stuff.

Re:360 demo

I'm sorry, how are these games really, really good again?

King Kong: amazing graphics (the defacto standard of the industry) and no accurate representation of gameplay. I can download the Unreal3 tech demo if I want to look at yet another pretty picture.

Call of Duty 2: Really now, I can't believe you played the game with graphics that ONLY looked like the source engine. Sheesh, I wouldn't play a game that looks that terrible. And I'm biased because I already played the CoD2 demo on my PC with an un-erring 85fps in "hi-def" resolution. Oh, right, and I spent less on a video card than I did for the XBox 360.

Kameo: I didn't play this game because I'm a fanboy. You know, I should never touch another Square game in my life because they made Ehrgeiz. Come on, you get a chance to touch an omfgitsocoolmommyineed500dollarstoplaysequels-Box and you... Gah, forget it.

And that's totally awesome about the home screen. I sit at my computer ALL day and click the start button to watch it roll out, and then I like, extend the menus. It's awesome. Wait, weren't we talking about a GAME console?

Thanks for your listless review. *sigh*
