Ok guys. After an UNBELIEVABLE deal at best buy, I have a Samsung 50" HDTV coming to me, as well as a 360 and Halo 3. Awesome.
Getting the 360 tonight, and I'm asking you guys: What's a good game to get with it, that I'm hoping on the more cheap side of things (I just dropped a lot of money, less then I should have, but I feel iffy spending a lot more).
So guys. What's good for the 360? Oh, and I already know about Gears and BioShock. :P
Dead Rising
Skate, Halo 3 and Dead Rising (flawed, yet very worthwhile) are probably the best on the system, outside of Gears and Bioshock. Download some demos.
Get Oblivion if you haven't already played it. That'll give you more hours of entertainment than just about anything.
And Ridge Racer 6 can be had for like $5 and is a heck of a lot of fun.
Backwards compatibility makes some Xbox 1 games incredible - Fatal Frame II is highly recommended.
Crackdown if you like to mess around (real easy to get that one used).
Burnout Revenge if you haven't played it (a good warm up till 5 hits in Feb or so).
Condemned and Earth Defense Force has it's fair share of fans.
Go demo crazy when you get it.
Oblivion, Dead Rising, Crackdown, Condemned, Kameo, RR6, PGR3.
The games I have had the most fun with on the 360, and that I feel are worth owning, are:
Dead Rising
Stuntman Ignition
Gears of War
Eternal Sonata
F.E.A.R.
Kameo Elements of Power
Ridge Racer 6
Dirt
Tomb Raider Legends
Some other games I consider fun, but second tier type games would be:
Test Drive Unlimited and Table Tennis.
BIOSHOCK is also a great game, but its really not my cup of tea.
Dead Rising sucked major ass. Where are all these recommendations coming from?
Anyway, you're getting Halo 3. There's very little reason to get anything else since that one game will give you months if not years of entertainment.
Dead or Alive 4 is a great fighting game if you're into that sort-of thing, and the best online fighting period. It still has a stong online community and I think it was a launch title. Probably <$30 now too.
Seconded. It's a marvelous racer, and you'll get a ton of value with it.Quote:

Prey is a pretty cool alien FPS that's also cheap - $15 new @ Fry's last time I checked.
If you haven't played Oblivion, pick up the recently released GOTY edition. It includes all of the expansions and such.
Crackdown is awesome if you prefer just messing around and experimenting in GTA games, rather than just doing the missions.
Gears of War is a great third-person shooter. The singleplayer is a tad short, but it is awesome while it lasts. The multiplayer is great too.
Earth Defense Force 2017 is about as basic a third-person shooter as you can get, but it's awesome. There's nothing more to the game than shooting hordes of enemies, but that's what's so fun about it. Who needs a complex plot or unique gameplay when you can just blow up hundreds of giant ants?
BioShock is my GOTY candidate so far. Believe the hype. BioShock deserves every last bit of praise that it has received. Sure, a lot of the gameplay is basically System Shock 2 in a new wrapper, but SS2 never did combat this well.
Splinter Cell: Double Agent is another that I really like. Not everyone enjoys it, but I'm a big fan of the Splinter Cell gameplay and Double Agent is the first title to actively discourage going rambo and thus force you to use all the nifty stealth abilities you have.
On the XBLA side of things, Geometry Wars and Pacman CE are definitely the two best games.
Don't forget that every XBLA title and lots of retail games have downloadable demos. Give anything that sounds remotely interesting a shot.
People with taste.Quote:

Stone cold sober. The clunky controls, the cheesy dialogue and repetitive gameplay made me zzzz for the time I played it. I got more fun out of Hexic.
dont forget they make most atrocious.Quote:

the rest i havent been totally into. If you like TR get legend, but its short. Dead Rising is good but it requires a lot of patience and be ready to feel like your failing 90% of the time. ummm....
yeah, beware BC games, because i dont think my 360 has been running any of them even up to par.
Something's wrong with your 360 then. A few of my games are wonky, like Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Mercenaries, but just about every other one runs fine.
I can't recommend Condemned enough. It's an incredible game, and only Bioshock does a better job of creating atmosphere, imo. Earth Defense Force is also an awesome run-'n-gun with a campy, B-movie feel to it.
Halo 2 is the only game that seems to run "fine", same with JSRF. Orta, Phantom Dust, all have random hellish FPS problems, KoTOR the worst, the framerate dies and then when it snaps back on all my characters are dead, i can tget past this point in the game.Quote:

I told him exactly what mines been in use for. Gears, oblivion, bioshock. Im not gonna say get saints row if i didnt like it, im not gonna say get KOTOR because its emulated PERFECTLY! Sit the fuck down.
We have full vaginal bleeding, people.
Gears of War
Earth Defense Force 2017
Fight Night Round 3
All Pro Football 2K8
Bioshock
Condemned
Wartech
Project Gotham Racing 3 (okay not as good as 2)
Some XBLA titles like Space Giraffe, Geometry Wars, Puzzle Fighter, etc
You can buy most of them cheap used, that's what I do.
Biff is over sensitive on your comments. I agree with B-Ri, the 360 BC leaves alot to be desired.Quote:

Remember, I OWN the system, so i'm not hating.
yes, most of them just dont run.Quote:

No sandy vag, B-Ri, you marketing expert.
I have yet to really enjoy a game on the PS3, and I want to justify my expense.
On the other hand, the XBOX has given me some great titles. Name me one PS3 game you liked more than GOW?
Wow its like were back to a year ago and i have to suddenly justify my purchases to you guys hahaha.Quote:

as i said.
sit the fuck down.
B-Ri, know your place in TNL, you couldn't even tell Spodaddy to sit down.
I asked you a serious question, what PS3 game do you like better than GOW?
Answer this or leave this thread.
A) apparently you dont know your place. Its in fight club as the butt of the joke, make your way back.Quote:

B) Resistance and Warhawk. The only reason ive continued to play ANY of the 3 (this is including gears) is because of the multiplayer. There i gave you TWO.
C) Even if i didnt answer the question i wouldnt leave the thread, question was asked, i answered, you came and squatted the sand all over the place.
Who cares? Holy shit.
Quick, go post pics of more girls who think you're weird.Quote:
Originally Posted by B-Ri

Don't get me wrong B-Ri, as I said, I want to enjoy my 600 dollar investment, but I haven't.
Good point.Quote:

Well then that sucks for you, please go into the waaambulance corner with Pineapple, you make horrible horrible purchasing decisions without knowing what you like. You may not like resistance or warhawk, but i do, deal with it.Quote:

Call of Duty 2 and 3.
GRAW 1 and 2
GRAW is for sure.
COD 2 yes, COD 3, not so much.
Rainbow Six Vegas was surprisingly good. Really great cover system.
Can't fault this statement either.
I love R6: Vegas. We need to get some games together, though that's not going to happen with Halo 3 hitting in a few days. I have both map packs and playing with random shmoes is hell, as they're all colonels and elites and shit.
And seconded on COD 2. It shits all over part 3, and will forever remain in my collection. Best WWII shooter I've played yet.
COD II is by far the best game I have ever played in the WWII genre.
R6V is indeed great, can't believe I forgot this one.
Gears of War
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Rainbow Six Vegas
BioShock
Stranglehold
Earth Defense Force
Condemned
Tomb Raider Legend
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Call of Duty 2
Yakuza, of course.
I agree. He'd really be reaching if he replied with Blue Dragon.Quote:

You try to bust of me then claim the man should waste his money on Tomb Raider? Jesus....
Tomb Raider Legend was great.
If you say so Bbobb.
I couldn't get into it.
Hey guys, I appreciate the recommendations, but keep the arguments and debates to PMs. Please?

You've implored TNL to have a discussion about good games for the 360 only to tell them to STFU for doing exactly that. If you want a list and not a discussion, go to gamerankings.com and just sort from highest rated to lowest. It really is that easy.

That is some retarded shit, yeah.
I dunno about recommending Stranglehold personally. I really was looking forward to it and wanted to like it, but the demo turned me off. Try the demos if you can before purchases (outside the already widely guaranteed great ones)
I think everyone agrees it's more of a rental.
I'll buy Stranglehold when it is $15
:lol: awesome - owned for real.Quote:
