Well, after the Halo 3 beta expires, I'm going to need a game to play over the summer. I'm thinking between Forza 2, C&C 3, and Shadowrun. What do you think will last the longest and will be the most fun to play?

Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Gears of War are both amazing and addictive.Madden 08 and Tiger Woods 08 should be great sports games if you like those kinda games.And from you're choices I'd say Shadowrun because of the online play.But the whole magic aspect seems alittle lame to me.

Forza 2 is amazing if you like racing games.
C&C 3 . I don't think this game would last 2-3 months unless you really like MP.
Shadowrun= flop. Looks horrible and prolly will play bad too.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and Gears of War are great no doubt.  I am going to get Forza because it has both of the cars I own on it and the graphics are good but the gameplay is the best ever.  Yes, I love sports cars but and have driven real sports cars to the limit and the gameplay on Forza is as good as it gets.  I am getting Forza and not buying any new content for great games like MUA, Gears of War, and my favorite GRAW 2.

Honestly, I don't understand why they can't at least give us more than 3 weeks for the Halo 3 beta. Let us play up to July at least.

Out of that list i'd say shadow run just cause you can play with computer guys so that oughta' liven things up for a while. However blue dragon (which comes out in august) will last u until christmas probably (unless your one of those blaze through a game in a week guys)

I'd have to disagree with you and say the opposite.

Imo, Forza 2 is not a very good racing game. I've not enjoyed no.1 and I absolutely hated the demo for number 2.

With C&C3 I'd have to say the same. I still dont' think that rts gameplay works on a controller. Play the demo and judge off of that.

I think that Shadowrun looks fun to play and will bring new ideas, for the better or worse, to the fps genre. The infusion of magic and weapons seems like there is potential. The game looks enjoyable and I'll most likely be playing it all summer long. Although, the game does not have a single player mode so if you're into questing on your own then definetely avoid this game.

Why not play some old school Xbox? KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2, Jade Empire are some great BioWare RPGs that will keep you busy.

Xbox 360? Wait for shadowrun? I'm not sure.

Anyone who has actually driven a real sports car would realize that forza is what a vehicle most likely feels like when racing around a track.

There are very few things that can flop before they're released (Aside from AMD graphics cards). That said, I will go with Shadowrun. The idea of a RTS on a console doesn't sit well with me. I'll play my RTSs on my PC, thanks.

I agree, its not like anyone is going to get sick of it and decide not to buy the game. It should be a demo, imo.

Get C&C3 it is a hard game...fair (not cheap AI) but somewhat hard even on Easy so it takes some time to complete.  It has 3 campaigns to play thru totaling 36 missions.  Then there is Skirmish mode to play against the AI or play online multiplayer.  C&C3 has alot of value and gaming to be had.  It will last you.

this year belongs to microsoft. with every season comes great games. holiday season: lost odyssey, asassins creed, mercenaries 2, fall: mass effect, halo 3, gtaIV, star wars tfu, and bioshock. so to answer your question about the summer: two worlds, the darkness, tenchu z, madden 08, blue dragon. so you'll be plenty busy if you ask me.

c&c 3 and here's why.  it has more replay value.  i always like a good strategy game.  i understand that the port is a good one too.  i am a huge fan of W40K dawn of war, Company of Heroes, Act of War.  C&C 3 is one of the better ones and will keep you busy for a long, long time.

forza2.  you can always try to beat your best lap times,  and with the upgrades, tuning, and trying different lines there are many ways to improve.  that dosn't even include going into the livery editor and creating custom paint jobs or online races.

I'd go with the following two games:

 

Command and Conquer 3

 

...and Forza Motorsport 2

I recommend Shadowrun. It will take fps games to a hole new level. Or it can be a flop... But I think it's a great game and I don't understand what are all complains about it graphics. There are many games what are great because their game-play not their graphic and I think that is where Shadowrun has succeeded.

If you have Xbox Live then definitely Shadowrun, and for single player Bioshock when it comes in August

Forza 2 is probably the game that could keep you playing all summer. Also, there's a game called "Going Outside: Fresh Air" that I hear is pretty tight. Haha, jk man.

C&C 3 is great.  It won't last you 3 months though.  Depending on how much you play it can last a month.  If you go for the all the achievements then maybe a little over a month.

I'm a fan of the CnC series and I will play CnC3 for several years. I actually stopped playing Zero Hour, the previous game, a week ago when I got CnC3. So that's 2,5 years I played that game. If you like it as much as me, it's a definite pick up.

However, I'm picking up Forza 2 as well. If you're not that big on CnC this is a more likely purchase. If you really like racing games, this one should keep you busy a long time also.
