Since I got no answer on the 360 forum...

Lemmings have been trying to convince me that 360 is a great console. I've thought a little about getting a 360, but I need more convincing. Could someone please recommend some games (released or upcoming) that are/will be at least AA (maybe A) and will not be gun-based? I think Banjo-Kazooie 3 and Skate. look cool.

I am not trying to be sarcastic; I would seriously like to know.

Oblivion's pretty good, I didn't really like it that much, but you might. And there's Eternal Sonata, demo was kind of fun, lost oddysey looks decent aswell, everygame I got for 360 is a shooter pretty much though, so, I don't know any other than sports games (which I despise), Just remembered, Kameo one of my favorite 360 games, I really enjoyed this game, I'd say give it a shot.

Out:

  • Kameo
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*
  • Blue Dragon (albeit not really worth it unless you the most collective of JRPGs)

Coming:

  • Assassin's Creed*
  • Lost Odyssey
  • Mass Effect (I consider this more a RPG with gun weapons)
  • Halo Wars
  • Eternal Sonata
  • Alan Wake*
  • Banjo-Threeie
  • Cry On
  • Fable 2
  • Infinite Undiscovery

Albeit most games I own or want for the system are shooters in some fashion.

Dead Rising, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Oblivion, PGR3, GH2- all good non-shootery games. Dead Rising and SCDA have guns, but you really don't use them much. Oh, and DOA4.

PS3>360

RPGS:Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy VS 13, White Knight Story>>>Blue Dragon, Lost Oddysey

Action:God of War III>>>Anything the 360 has

Fighting:Tekken 6>>>Anything the 360 has

Platformer: Ratchet and Clank>>>Banjo Kazooie

Racing:Gran Turismo 5>>>Forza Motorsport 2

And Skate is multi-plat. No point in buying a console that will most likely break when you can buy a machine which won't and that will have Blu-Ray.

My experience with Kameo has been pretty good, though I'm not that far in yet. I loved Dead Rising. Table Tennis was fun and I'm normally not into sports of any kind. Oblivion is good if you like WRPGs and don't own a decent PC, though I personally hated it thanks to my exploits of the leveling system allowing me to kill anything (and I don't really like WRPGs in general). I plan on getting Condemned: Criminal Origins and Forza 2 when I feel like it.

Crackdown
This is not a shooter. It's more of a platformer/adventure. You don't need to shoot people. Tons more fun to just jump around the city maxing your abilities and messing around. Or if you want to you can download the free DLC and cheat, but you really shouldn't. This game deserved the Halo 3 beta sales.

Dead Rising
Hitting zombies and eating pies, mmm. Zombies eating pie. And golfballs.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Kind of shootey, but that mostly depends on your styl of play. It's a sneaker at heart.

Viva Pinata
If you're into gardening (or whatever you should call it) and incestous, cannibalistic paper animals, this is for you, you sick bastard. The game never really clicked with me though.

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage
Only out in Europe so far. Awesomest current-gen racing game ever.

Oblivion
Duh.

Fight Night 3
Seriously. You don't need to like boxing, or fighting games even. It is kind of light on the content though.

Guitar Hero II
Obviously. You need the guitar though. Too bad about the sucky DLC. I guess at this point you're better off waiting for Rock Band.

Kameo
A real platformer/adventure. Didn't like it myself. Bought it for $5, played it for 15 minutes and later traded it in for GTAIV. But apparently some people like the game.

Forza Motorsport 2
The racing game to own if you're into more realistic ones.

edit
Oh yes, Condemned and Table Tennis too, forgot about those, mainly because I haven't played them.

We didn't need a Cow coming in here and making fanboy comments. It's his decision if he wants a 360 a PS3 or a Wii. But apparently he wants convincing on getting a 360 and you're not helping.

Indeed I will have fun waiting. I'll be able to play UT3 with mods and maps that I won't have to pay for. I'll also be enjoying Haze, Warhawk, Ratchet and Clank, and HS just to mention a few.

The other ones are arguable, but come on Ninja Gaiden 2 will destroy God of War 3 and Banjo Kazooie is so much better than Ratchet and Clank.

does his question of non shootes on 360 have anything to do with that take your fanboyness and leave.

Pretty much what everyone has been saying especially dead rising you can get it for around 20 bucks and its a real gem
