Member of the Month - Jul, 2008: Hayden x360a

 

Welcome to July, the proper summer (despite it raining outside at the moment! We should be outside enjoying BBQ's, cold beers and relaxing in the sun. Yet despite this, one person continues to help out around the site and continues to be a demon and getting achievements in the GSL. Allow me to introduce you to..... Hayden x360a

Lets start by finding out a bit more about the man behind the GamerTag.
Well my names Hayden (just in case you had not guessed) im 27 and i live in a very small village in Norfolk (not a flat head minty) with my girl friend of 8 Years Selina. For the last 5 years i have worked at Britannia building society as a mortgage advisor but i got bored so decided to have a change, and in March i started a new job in advertising for a local newspaper. When im not at work and not on my xbox im either playing snooker and drinking or im at the cinema which i go to at least once a week

What is your gaming setup like?
Just invested heavily in upgrading it. I have just bought a Samsung 50" 1080p plasma, Samsung 1000 watt surround sound system and a panasonic blu ray player. I also have 3 xbox 360's a english elite a US arcade and a JAP arcade.

What is your favorite game on the 360?
I have played very close to every game that has been released in pal territories and the games that i have enjoyed the most have been Bioshock and Lost odyessesy.
 
I loved bioshock to bits and thought it had such great atmosphere and i loved the story...in fact i loved it so much im about to play it again twice once in Japanese and then again in Korean.
 
Im a big fan of rpgs and although Lost Odyessey is a very "by the numbers" rpg i thought it was great and looked fantastic and jansen is one of my favourite game characters of recent time

And the game that makes you scream?
Not that many to be honest i have this strange ability that i dont get annoyed when i play crap movie games like Golden Compass and Cars.
 
But out of all the games that have made me scream i would say lost odyessey made me scream the most purely because of the Treasure Trove achievement.Every chest i opened i waited for the little ping and the achievemnt to pop up but it never did.

What achievement are you most proud of?
Well out of the 5431 achievements i have its hard to just to pick one but from what i remember i was very happy when i got the saint achievement in Dead Rising as the survivors just didnt seam to want to survive at all

Which achievement is the next on the hit list for you?
I have no idea, as i am in the middle of the gsl it all depends what i can be bothered to play probably something from one of my japanese games that i have just got like everparty or idolmaster

What was the last thing you downloaded from the Arcade?
I download a lot from the marketplace and currently have 94 live arcade games and it depends when you post this up if it is before Wednesday it was Arkadian Warriors if its after it will be Soul Calibur

Do you get games mainly for achievements, or for gameplay?
If i said gameplay i think everyone knows i would be lieing. If the game gets me points and is fun aswell its just a bonus really. I have been suprised by quite a few games that i thought would be crap and would not of touched with a 10ft barge pole if it wasnt for achievemnts, games like Open Season and Surfs Up which i thought were both good fun

Is the 360 your only console currently? Do you have plans for any more?
It is the only console of this generation i have now that i have just sold my PS3 which Sanction and Webb have told me constantly i will regret. I have many old consoles, Snes, N64, Gamecube, Ps2, jaguar (i know) and a DS

Whats the next game that you will be getting?
I buy every new release that comes out so this week i will have Unreal Tournament 3, Wall E and Summer Atheletics.

And final comments….

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
