A friend just got a 360 and cant get down with first person stuff. I didn't pay much attention to this sort of thing and he's asking for recs. I told him about Vanquish, Warhammer, the gears games, and that about it. What else would you recommend that's not too difficult, or has lengthy stealth sections? Not too much of a skill gap would be appreciated as well, but not super required. He hasn't really played games since PS2.
Lost Planet, pretty good action game on a frozen planet. I really liked the sequel as well but it has a heavy co-op aspect and I don't know how active that still is (probably not at all).
Max Payne 3, great times as long as you're cool with a drunken guy rambling the entire game.
Wet, not really amazing or anything but a fun little action game that's often overlooked.
Splinter Cell Conviction if you want to be a sneaky Jack Bauer
Dead Space if you're into scary stuff.
Binary Domain if you want more Gears.
Tomb Raider if you want some Uncharted-ish exploration.
Mass Effect Trilogy if you want Star Wars/Trek with some light RPG stuff thrown in.
Max Payne 3 if you want slow-mo.
Red Dead Redemption if you want an open world.
Just Cause 2 if you like fun.
The Club is not hard and not for everyone but it's a cool little score-based game.
I forget which of the EDFs is better.
Alan Wake is pretty cool, not much of a shooter, but it's not really a stealthy game
Most have been covered but I also liked Stranglehold and Shadows of the Damned. The latter is close to a Resident Evil 4 type game but I don't remember anything difficult to figure out.
Seconded.Quote:

warhammer space marine.
spec ops the line
and for the $1 it will probably cost: Dark Sector.
Eight replies and Shadows of the Damned mentioned before VANQUISH. Where am I.
lrn2rd.
Vanquish was mentioned in the OP.
(so was space marine, so I nd2lrn2rd2)
I wouldn't say it is incredible, but for a crappy license, it is a solid gameQuote:

yeah...BotS was a good game but it wouldn't have ben the first one I mentioned.
Max Payne 3 would probably be it, if it was me (since Gears was taken)..except Spec Ops I omitted, that was a mistake
