Welcome to the Present Bert... New Gamer

[Bert]

I finally decided to join this century and get an Xbox. I talked to a bunch of gamer friends and they all said it's better to just get the 360 instead of the ONE because something gamer lingo IDK what, lol

Besides I got this off craigslist and it was a smoking deal so it's good to start off with.

I'm not a gamer I mean I have played few computer games and I used to play a lot of madden on PS2 but I am light years behind.

I have been playing Halo 4 for what I thought was an hour but it was more like 3 hours Super fun.

Only question I have is about this parental thing. It doesn't seem to be an issue, I mean it hasn't prevented me from doing anything the only reason I know it's on there is I tried to go to "INITIAL SETUP" on the settings tab and it asked for the parental passcode, which I could not figure out. lol Previous owner said they forgot it, it wasn't a kid he was a grown up so I dont think his parents locked him out of it or anything lol.

Anyways like I said it hasn't prevented me from doing anything yet but we will see.

Anyway, Halo 4 is so fun. I mean the whole cinematics of this game is amazing. We've come a long way from Super Mario lol.

Any suggestions on games to get me into the gaming world? I haven't tried to get online and play yet because I know I will get "Pwnd" and will be called a "newb" lol.

did you sign up for xbox live? If so there is a free game available right now and they do a free game the first and second half of each month so you can build a collection for free.

Beyond that there is a massive library of a+ full titles along with smaller cheap and fun arcade games too. The list goes on and on.

load up www.majornelson.com to have updates on what free games and what discounts are coming

Right now grand theft auto 4 and 5 are both on sale for very cheap as digital downloads right through the xbox. That game is a mix of a driving game, shooting game, flying game and more - its a good catch all to get your feet wet if you dont mind vulgar language and violence.

Otherwise I am sure if you google top xbox 360 games and etc youll find all the blockbusters and what is biggest, it all depends on your taste what to buy.
