Simplifying IT, Amplifying Knowledge

Becoming console gamer

Published on: 24 June 2025 Category: games

I learnt things that I thought were impossible. I have spent some hours playing on my new Xbox 360. I especially like playing GTA IV and Forza Horizon. I am also getting used to controlling with a gamepad.

I have already learned to steer more smoothly than by turning the wheel all the way to the left or right. I can also aim a little with the joycon, but this is still more random than skilful. However, what I really like is the smooth gas and brakes, which are controlled by the analogue buttons that detect pressure. Driving cars in this way is pure joy.

With these newly acquired skills, I might try the Max Payne game I have, but I need more training first. However, I am getting into it and I really like playing on the console because it starts up and shuts down in seconds. This gives me more freedom with my time because my problem with playing on a PC is that booting up and shutting down takes more time than playing.
