Ok so I got Dante's Inferno, and after beating it find myself wanting something else. Gamespot is giving me a great deal, $37.50 which I wont pass up, though normally they rip you off this price is acceptable to me.

Anyway I am having trouble deciding on something to get. I was really thinking about DA:O but without DLC and on the xbox I am very hesitant to get it. The other one was BFBC2 which of course, noone can really tell me anything about, I wont have internet for awhile though... so it could probobly wait? Other than these I do not really have any game preferences, love rpgs and shooters if they are mostly singleplayer since I dont have internet at the moment (for the xbox).

Anyone have any suggestions? :D

If you're not going to have internet, don't get bad company. It's primarily an online multiplayer shooter, and from everything I've heard in reviews the campaign is decent but short and definitely not worth the $60 price tag.Dragon Age is an amazing game, but I played for pc so I really don't know what it's like for xbox. Out of those two, since you don't have internet I'd say get Dragon Age.

Also, if you love RPG's and shooters then Fallout 3, Borderlands, and Mass Effect 1+2 would probably all be right up your alley since they all combine RPG and shooter elements.

What they said.

Borderlands is more shooter-y and less RPG-y

wheras Fallout is more RPG-y and less Shooter-y

Both amazing games.

And get Mass Effect 1, not 2, It's much cheaper and better IMO (I LOVED it :P) Wait for Mass Effect 2 to drop in price...

This. Im pretty sure the only difference between the pc and 360 verision of Dragon Age Origins is visuals and the 360's lack of mods. I own the 360 version and it is epic. Cool story,plenty of replay value and lengthy as hell. Well worth the price. It dont disappoint.

Get BFBC2 when you get you're internet back.

I also think Mass Effect would be a good choice. You can get it for really cheap, and then hen you beat it you can import your character into Mass Effect 2.

I highly suggest Oblivion(if you don't have it already). You can easliy put in over 100 hours.

Also, I've heard many great things about DA:O, so if you want to get it you might want to go for it. It's also a long game as well.

I was mainly worried about the controls for the xbox vs PC. But this has eased that a bit and I will likely go with DA:O

Also.. I looked up some videos for BFBC2 and the "total destruction" seems to be just a few more bricks taken off the same stuff from BFBC, correct me if im wrong. Looked kind of dissapointing, then again I think it was beta so idk.

If you blow up all the walls on a building (or something like that) it will collapse completely. I've never personally done it, but I've seen it done in the demo.
From what I saw it wasn't very different from Bad Company 1 destruction.
