Hi guys. My friend is going to buy an Xbox 360today, but he can't decide what game to get. He likes RPGs and Shooters equally, so he can't decide. He asked me for advice, but Icouldn't decide either, lol. Anyways, I was wondering if you guys could help. What should be buy?

Depends what he want, Oblivion will probably give you the best, and longest single player, Gears is a blast while it lasts, but the story is short, and the online is very forgettable, and BioShock is a great atmospheric game, though once you beat it and get both endings, there is not much else to do with it.

well, if he's looking for something that will last awhile, get Oblivion. I myself have over 150 hours in that game, and Im still not done with it. Bioshock and Gears are both good games, but lengthwise they don't even come close to Oblivion.

If he likes both RPGs and shooters Bioshock sounds like the way to go.

Id stillwait for Halo 3.

Oblivion first for a lengthy gameplay, then GoW cause it is real good game until you've played it for so long that it gets boring.

Gears of war is the best shooter to ever have existed, and oblivion is the RPG ever to have existed!

so the real choice realy is, you can buy the best shooter out there or, the best RPG out there,so basicly it's if you want a shooter or RPG.

(I can't coment on bioshock because i think it's utter tripe)

i have never played bioshock and can not relly comment on it. but i have played gears and oblvion.

gears is really good online. the campain is good but my game broke right after i started it so i dunno how long it is.

oblivion is a really good game i loved. thier is so much you can do. i have over 500 hours on it. the world is huge and thier are a lot of caves and stuff scattered throughout the game. i would suggest oblivion always.

Those are my top 3 games. I'd say gears while the online is still alive. Bioshock and Oblivion will last forever but with Halo 3 coming out Gears may lose many players. Not me though.

Tell him to get all 3, in my opinion Oblivion, Gears of War and BioShock are the three best 360 games.

Find a way to play all three games--you won't be disappointed. I have them all and don't get to play them nearly as much as I'd like. Bioshock is the best current game out there. Gears of War is a great shooter that I need to learn to play better one day :lol: Oblivion is THE game if you're thinking of buying. It doesn't lend itself to being a rental.

Man, thats a very hard choice.

Those 3 games are actually the top 3 best reviewed 360 games.

I wouldnt' get bioshock first, just because there is no online, and campaign is like 14 hours. Although it is a great game.

Gears of War is incredible, I must have 400+ hours on it. I replayed the campaign like 40 times, and I have beenhooked on the Multiplayer for months.

Thing is though, its only really fun on Co-op campaignor online multiplayer, single player campaign sucks.

Oblivion will give you about 70 hours if you want to complete the campaign and a few quests along the way, There is sooo much to do, but It couldnt hold my interest for more then 100 hours. Still a great game.

Its too hard of a choice, any of the three would be good.
