CNN's Game Over On The 360

An anonymous reader writes "CNN's Chris Morris has taken a look at Microsoft's new system. He calls the system 'good, but not great' in a fairly lengthy, well thought out piece. The article also has an amusing gallery of rejected prototype designs." From the article: "Admittedly, tastes vary - so you could easily find a game out this month that's a 'must have' for you. (We'll have a closer look at the launch games early next week.) But if you're looking for something that's ground breaking and sets the trend for the system (as 'Halo' did with the original Xbox), you're not going to find it."

Misleading headline

It's odd that CNN headlines this "Xbox 360: Good, but not Great." He's saying that there's no killer app launch title, but he has many good things to say about the actual hardware. Launch titles are rarely an indication of what's to come, and with the juice that the 360 is packing, there'll be some great stuff over the next six months.

In the meantime, you'll have to make do with Perfect Dark, Project Gotham, next-gen Madden, Kameo and Call of Duty. Systems have been launched with far less (I'm looking you, Fantavision).
