Microsoft Xbox 360 Review

December 22nd 2005 | Games Consoles

With at least a seven month edge over both Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft is out extra early with their brand spanking new Xbox 360 to seize control of the market. Their second console, going by the name of the Xbox 360 (most likely because Microsoft feared looking less technological compared to Sony’s third console, the PS3), is a beast of a machine. Coming with an IBM PowerPC based “Xenon” CPU, a custom ATI R500-based “Xenos” GPU, and 512 MB of ram all tucked neatly underneath its hood, the Xbox 360 is no joke.

..All in all, the Xbox 360 is an impressive piece of hardware. Microsoft has really succeeded in pushing forward the technology in game consoles. With High Definition, wireless remotes, and state of the art technology, the Xbox 360 is a definite winner. However, we suggest waiting it out until the PS3 and Revolution are released, and then choosing the best console. Of course, not everyone likes to play the waiting game and if you simply have to have the latest greatest then the Xbox 360 offers exactly that at the moment.
