XBox 360 Games - What Do You Play?

[Moonwynd]

Since I just got my 360 and this really is my first console gaming venture since the original Nintendo - I would love to hear some input from those of you that game on the 360.

I presently own:

Viva Pinata
Test Drive Unlimited
Forza 2
Dead Rising
Dead or Alive 4 (purchased used today after playing the demo - I am having fun with this one!)

I want my next purchase to be Gears of War - haven't played it yet but it looks great. I am looking forward to Mass Effect as well as Halo 3.

So what are your recommendations?

Regards,

Moon

There are too many to name so I will probably miss quite a few, but the games I currently have (and would recommend) are:

Gears - Must have

Crackdown - This is a good game if you like sandbox type games like grand theft auto, where you can basically run around this large city and do whatever you damn well please.

GRAW (Ghost Recon Advanced warfighter) 1&2 - Both very good games, however if you want to experience the multiplayer you should go with 2.

shadowrun - FPS with magic worked into the mix, there is a thread in the video games forum with more info - but if the premise sounds intriguing to you I would pick it up - it's a lot of fun.

Rainbow Six Vegas - Another FPS, you are a counter terrorist group and get to shoot up the hotels in vegas.

Oblivion - If you haven't played it on the PC and want to play a good solid RPG I would pick this one up.

Guitar Hero 2 - Need I say more

F.E.A.R. - A FPS horror game. It is fast paced and you have a "matrix" button where you can slow everything down. It is a really cool (and creepy) game to play late at night with the lights off and the sound up.

Lost Planet - This is a third person shooter, with good online. This is probably the most challenging game I have played in a very long time - but it's a lot of fun.

LOTR Battle for Middle Earth 2 - Fun game, but I get burnt out on RTS games pretty quick.

----------------------------------

Games coming out before the end of this year that I will definitely be buying and would suggest:


Lost odyssey
Halo 3
Army of Two
Bioshock
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
Medal of Honor: Airborne Assault
Blue Dragon
Tenchu Z
Grand Theft Auto 4
Halo Wars
Tom Clancy's : End War


To name a few. I know there are about a half dozen or so I am missing, this fall is going to fucking kick ass for the 360. I think you will be happy with your decision.

The first review is in for Bioshock:

100/100 Official Xbox Magazine UK

Amazingly written and beautifully constructed, it's a complete emotional rollercoaster which we can't drawn any parallels with...You'll be playing this game for months to come, exchanging story elements to build up the bigger picture, and arguing about what it all means. [Sept 2007, p.88]

Comes out Aug 21st!

Blue Dragon Aug 28th!

I'm playing mostly Shadowrun right now. Some Bomberman Live and Castlevania:Symphony of the Night on Live Arcade.

I'm going to be picking up Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata when they come out. I'm a bit iffy aobut Two Worlds but a lot of folks I play Shadowrun with currently are going to be picking that one up so I may as well.

Halo3 and Bioshock I'm not sure about yet. It'll probably come down to the length of the game. Timeshift looks like it could offer some really interesting gameplay. Assassin's Creed is a must-buy.

It's going to be an expensive 2nd part of the year...

madden 2007
rainbox six vegas
overlord
guitar hero ii
tiger woods 2007
gears of war
dead rising
arcade

Mostly play tiger woods, overlord and guitar hero ii. GoW and Dead Rising are loaners from friends that have finished them. I need to get some play time on those and return them.

Just Guitar Hero 2 atm, however, I really did enjoy Dead Rising and Gears of War--may hop on those later today.

I am really looking forward to Assassins Creed, and preordered. Looks like there is a lot of great shit coming out starting this month, wuwuwuw.
