Idon't know what's your opinion on it, but I'm sensing a huge lack of any decent 360-games at the moment. i have my console from may 2006 and the only games that I really enjoyed were cod2, gears and of course oblivion. there's a need of some really "cool" games like we had on the "old" box; like ninja gaiden and some good RPG's; can't wait to get my hands on mass effect.

Hope the second half of this year fulfills al my gaming-needs.

I don't know what kind of release list you're looking at, but the ammount of titles with high potential in the second half of 2007 is immense.

Sure, there is a ton of games i'm looking forward to, i hope they live up the hype!! But i find it rather disappointing that we don't have a lot of top-games up to date, the console is already 1 and a half years old!!

thats not old... it will be around until 2011. Try the Tom Clancy games on for size. And this year is gonna be huge with Bioshock, MassEffect, Half Life 2, Halo 3. What more do you want? Banjo Kazooie 3 coming soon. So many games te 360 is the best console for games so far this generation.

I think there's lack of great games on all next gen consoles. If you consider that Resistance, VF 5 and Ridge racer are launch titles, Ps3 situation is even worse

you could also try crackdown, saints row, lost planet, dead rising, cod3, Rainbow 6, GRAW series to hold the time over til the other games start to come out. And though people hated it review wise I liked N3.

wa? the 360 doesnt have a lack of decent games at all IMHO. I think your expectations are a little high. There a loads of great games for the 360-- oblivion/graw,R6 vegas, VT3, even oldies like full auto and fight night round 3 are epic titles......and to make it better, we got more coming!! The thing with the PS3 is that all the releases to come are games already out for the 360.......so whats the point in getting one now--assuming you already have the 360. id like to see the PS3 come up with a title as "epic" as GOW.

If you only like a couple of genres then it's gonna be hard to get the games you want, especialy if you're not a shooter fan. Personaly, i'll play anything. Xbox360 has had a great range of games so far imo. I've been playing games since wolfenstein3D and I gotta tell ya the 360 probably has some of the best titles on one console i've seen in a looooooong time.

Maybe you should just try more of what's available. You have to actually get your hands on the games and see for yourself if you like them..

I totally agree with you Joe. I looked at the list of 360's games and its packed with shooting games... If you go in a shop all you see is shooting games... The list had like what, 3 roleplaying games? and ass for decent RPG's theres FF12(but you might aswell buy WOW and pay less each month...) and then theres PSO (from what I've seen its just a remake of the dreamcast one to cash-in, I played the old one and it was great howveer thecosts were funny = 1 pound an hour...)

Look at every other console and come back to me and say the 360 is lacking great games. Games like Oblivion, Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Lost Planet GRAW 2, etc aren't supposed to pop up every single month. If you look at a highly successful system like the Playstation 2 or original Xbox for instance, legendary games are spread apart over the course of YEARS. We're lucky to have so many great games already! This is also not mentioning the fact that we've stepped into a new era of gaming (Next Gen) where games are becoming huge, huge projects for developers almost similar to making a movie. Look how much more complex things we're dealing with (New gaming engines, voice actors, pushing the envelope and adding innovation to each title, etc). Games nowadays can't exactly be popped out like they used to. If you don't believe this your expectations are way unrealistic and might need to find a new hobby. Theres a crapton of fantastic games for this system already. Look at the all-time 360 reviews here on gamespot, sort by score and pick any of the top 15 and you'll be more than happy.

I have to agree, for as long as I can remember I disliked sport games since they went 3d. Xbox brought me back round. Fightnight is amazing. NHL07 is great too.

burnout revenge is still the best racing game ever made, F.E.A.R. is an excellant port of a great game, viva pinata is also quite good. crackdown is really fun if you play coop/rocket tag with a friend.

and in the next few months there is going to be a massive surge of exclusive kick ass games, shadowrun, mass effect, bioshock, Huxley, halo 3 and there is all the mulitplatform games, the darkness, unreal tournament 3, guitair hero 2, devil may cry 4 and i'm sure i'm forgetting some. its a good time to be gamer.

Try Dead Rising, Crackdown, DOA 4, Lost Planet, CoD 3, GRAW2 and Rainbow Six Vegas, then get back to us on that whole "lack of good games" thing.

That's what I'm trying to say!!! Gears and Oblivion are excellent games, rest of the try these-list are just mediocre games!

I'm just waiting for the games that will be released in Q3 & Q4 2007, hope they're worth the hype. My opinion is that since the release of the 360 we haven't been treated with a bunch of excellent games, pretty sure this will change over this year but the waiting is frustrating. :D

Current Reasons to own a 360: Crackdown Dead Rising Far Cry Instincts Predator Saint's Row Perfect Dark Zero Gears of War Quake 4 (if you can't run it on your PC) Upcoming Reasons to own a 360: Mass Effect Bioshock Halo 3 Gears of War 2 Fable 2 Halo Wars Shadowrun KOTOR 3 (Unannounced as of now, but it's obvious where it'll go) And those are all just the exclusives. I also think 360 is the best platform for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, since there's no motion controls, it has the best graphics, and it will soon be getting an exclusive downloadable 8 character package on XBL in April. Battlefield Modern Combat was graphically redone for 360, and Battlefield Bad Company will also likely be the best on 360 just because of the Xbox Live infrastructure for online gaming.

Mediocre? SC:Double agent is hardly mediocr.......Fight night????Mediocre.....?? Show me your original ps2/xbox that has graphics/playability like these two games have? Im sorry man, but i think your way off...thats just IMHO of course :D.... By the way......Dead rising was a great concept...but i think this could have been scarier and a bit more deep in terms of gameplay. It has great potential for dead rising 2? I thought the first one ..(after picking up my jaw from the graphics and all them zombies) the gameplay got boring.

Another thing-how good is saints row after the first few missions...i got it and played the first few missions but havent really got further....is the middle portion of the game any good in terms of places that are unlocked and stuff? Im mean things you can do/that are unlocked or whatever during the night....things that happen, night raids and all that?

Idon't know what's your opinion on it, but I'm sensing a huge lack of any decent 360-games at the moment. i have my console from may 2006 and the only games that I really enjoyed were cod2, gears and of course oblivion. there's a need of some really "cool" games like we had on the "old" box; like ninja gaiden and some good RPG's; can't wait to get my hands on mass effect.

Hope the second half of this year fulfills al my gaming-needs.

joepo1980

i kind of agree with you, but then again i'm very picky in the games i spend money on. that's why i only have gears and oblivion. currently hyped for mass effect as well!

but you're also wrong. there are tons of decent games for the 360 (saint's row, dead rising, viva pinata, pgr3 etc), but you're right in that there aren't that many "OMGWTF I NEED THIS" kind of games.

Gears of War, COD 2 & 3, Madden NFL 07, NCAA Football 07, NBA 2K7, and MLB 2K7 are all I need until Halo 3.I love my 360 and with XBL I never get bored.
