Here we go: I don't have much cash after the 399.99 system, so I needed to get a >$30 game. The amount is quite surprising - at least 15 games. Here we go: COD2 $20 condemned $25 PGR# $25 Double Agent $27 GRAW $25 All @ gamestop

AND... Should I spend the $40 for the VGA Cable, to play at 1024x768 resolution instead of my SDTV? Is HD THAT pronounced of a difference?

Buying used games will save you some $ if u can pass on that new game smell.

Out of that list Splinter Cell is pobably the best. Good graphics, but more importantly excellent single and mutiplayer.

And yes buy those HD cables when you get a chance, you will notice a difference if u switch back to standard def from HD, but not the other way around.

Definatly COD2 that was my first game and it lasted me for like 2 months and I still play it. Also the 360 does look much better in HD. Although if youve got a good flatscreen tube TV with component inputs itll still look really nice. But if youve got an old bubble tube TV then you might wanna get the VGA cable.

The only two cheap games I can think of are Viva Pinata and FNR3... I really liked FNR3 and still play it.

Fight Nights good but as a first game I don't think it'd be good because it would get a bit repetitive if its his only game...just my opinion

Condemned Criminal Origins is the best pick IMO. The game is amazing.

Well considering that you are gonna have xbox live then buy Call of Duty 2 for sure, its the cheapest one, and it's a whole lot of fun online; I have all the best online games (CoD3, Gears, RVS, GRAW 2, etc.) and CoD2 is still my favorite.

And yes buy the VGA cable the difference between HD and SD is massive, look for them used I got mine used for 9.99, that sure saved me a lot of money.

Yes, I shouldn't have said that. I will say, however, I've put many hours into the first two games, and a I rented #3 for PS2. It was great...but I don't think it's something I've never experienced before.

Anyway, I'm thinking about GRAW - I was a fan of Ghost Recon 2, and, for $25, it looks like it really has a lot to offer. It would also shine with the HD display. Thanks

Hmm... I had a lot of online fun on COD3 for PS2. How does the second one compare? It was developed by infinity ward, instead of the developer for COD3, right?

That game lacks anykind of replay value.If he can only get one game it needs multiplayer.
