Halo rules all, Oddworld is a keeper, and Fever sucks.
This is my first real break from the Xbox. On my day off today, I must have played for 9 to 10 hours total. Hell of a day! Anyway, here are my first impressions of the games in my bundle.
I couldn't stop playing Halo today. I must have played for about 6 hours of Halo on Heroic. (Of course, I was staring at the grass for about 30 minutes.) I finally had to bump myself down to Normal to get past 1 part, but that still took a couple hours. I am at the 4th mission and still have a long way to go. Halo is the bomb!
Oddworld is definitly fun if you liked the old series. The jump to 3D is a hell of alot of fun. The detail in the cutscenes is breathtaking and the game itself is classic Oddworld. It starts off pretty slow, but as the game progresses, the levels and the puzzles get bigger, more diverse and enjoyable. I will log in a bunch on playing time on this title.
Oh and the demo in the XBox kiosk is NOTHING like the Final game. The final game is light years beyond that demo.
And Fever is the one I will be returning for PGR or something else. The game is ok, but it's not that fun. I don't feel compelled to play through a season at all. The gameplay is average to me. I might keep it a couple more days to see if I can warm up to it.
Oh and Dolby Digital is the only way to listen to Halo and Oddworld. Anything else is cheating yourself.

Played the final version of Oddworld and its pretty good, but I still haven't been able to play Halo. I know two people that picked up Xboxes and neither bought freaking Halo. I coundn't believe it. They both bought Oddworld though.
