What does being a part of the Xbox Community mean to you?

It means getting to know your fellow gamers, both on and off the playing field. Online on XboxLIVE I can jump on for a few matches against some friends. When I'm not playing I can head to Xbox.com and catch up on the latest goss, news whatever. Most importantly it means having fun - which is what the Xbox Community is all about.

Of more recent months, my contributions to XboxOZ360 Blog have had a big impact on the community as a whole. Creating and organizing the recent DarkLAN (with more to come) as well as writing reviews for both the blog and Xbox.com have taken what the Xbox Community is to me to a new level.

Who are some of your main Xbox Live mates who you game with often and why?

CindertoriellA - She is my best friend and Fiance and we just can't get enough of Bomberman LIVE!
Oxamiss - We've been playing online since day one and Halo has been our playing field
GoD5p33d 666 - My Brother and funnily enough, we were our most competitive at Bankshot Billiards 2!

What is your favourite feature of the Xbox 360 and why?

Apart from XboxLIVE which is the way to connect with friends online, I must say the complete "Media Hub" capabilities would be the best feature. Whether it's listening to an iPod while playing online or streaming media from my notebook straight to my TV, the Xbox 360 is a completely versatile machine.

Who are your hardest opponents in your main Xbox Live games?

CindertoriellA - So competitive at every game she plays it's mind blowing
xXx JipD xXx - At the recent DarkLAN, each kill was met with an evil squealing laugh lol
Oxamiss - The king of the Rocket Sniper and the Random Grenade

What is a game you really enjoy but aren't very good at?

F.E.A.R - I played through the game as far as I could, I just seemed to be so challenged at every turn. It's such an atmospheric and fast paced game, but I just feel like I've missed some magic button press to make life a whole lot easier.

What has been your favourite gaming moment on the Xbox 360 thus far?

The night (or morning now) of the launch of the Xbox 360 - I picked up 3 games (Call of Duty 2, Perfect Dark Zero and Oblivion) and headed home. I looked at all three games and couldn't decide what to play. I chose Oblivion as the first game on Xbox 360 I would play, even though I had no idea what it was. After customising my character and working my way past the first dungeon, I stepped through the tunnel of light into the outside. Awestruck I sat there staring at the view in front of me and all I could say was "WOW". That would have to be my most memorable gaming moment.

What are a few of the games you're looking forward to in 2008?

So many - LOST and Condemned 2 are only just around the corner. Then there are the obvious with GTA IV, Fallout 3 and Fable 2. A title close to my heart is Splinter Cell: Conviction. One that I would love to see this year is KOTOR 3, but seeing as that may be nothing but a pipedream, I will have to take Star Wars : The Force Unleashed instead.
