		Controller was very nice, though the top shoulder buttons were unreachable. I hope you never have to use those a lot.  
 
I played some demoes, they let me down. The graphics were barely better than this gen, gameplay was all been-there-done-that.

		What games did you play?  I have yet to lay my hands on one but Geometry Wars' fame intrigues me.

 I haven't noticed it looking "Crisco", ever. What are you talking about? The graphics on it ARE great and you really notice the power once you remove that wall of doubt.
 
The RB and LB buttons are not unreachable. In fact, they're just another Z button times 2. I haven't found them awkward at all.

		Making everything look shiny. I hate it. It looks stupid. 
 
The table tennis game from Rockstar does a similar/same thing. Makes the people look shiny and its so damn ugly.

 Damn God for creating sweat!
 
I personally don't really mind when things look shiny so much as I do when every single damn thing in the game world  glows... I've noticed this about Guild Wars... World of Warcraft, too, though it had an option to turn it off, which I took advantage of... 
 
Also, having seen various screenshots and displays at Best Buy and such, it is my belief that anybody who says 360 games barely look better than current-gen games is lying to themself... 
 
I mean, it may not be quite as big a leap over the extremely muddy textures and pixilated graphics of N64/PS1 as GC/PS2 were, but  'barely' an improvement? *scratces noodle*

 Is it also your opinion that there are many things in real life that are shiny? 
 
Perhaps you do not like this about the world, and wish it could be eliminated in your gaming experiences?

		My real opinion is that, until you see it running on your own set, you shouldn't be able to pass judgement. 
 
Or, on a really high-definition set. I played DOA4 on my 30"-ish TV with AV output, and it looked somewhat the same as DOA3, but better. This is probably the difference you're basing off of, Canyarion. But when I hooked it up to my 50" and ran it in 480P, the difference was astonishing. 
 
Same with Fight Night Round 3. I played on my set, then I played at my girlfriend's 1080i setup, 60". The difference is fantastic.

 Well, DOA4 looked relatively the same (because the models look like plastic), but everything else has looked fantastic. I even download my demos upstairs and play them for the first time on my room's 13" TV.

I remember when I was at Phil's and he just started playing Fight Night 3, and I asked when the fight was starting, and he said "10 seconds ago..." I just sat back in awe.

		I played demos of Need for Speed (I don't keep up with all the names lately) and Quake 4.  
And the guy had a very nice TV. It just didn't feel new enough to be next gen. The leaps are getting smaller and smaller with every gen.
