The 360 Recommendation Thread - What Game Should I Get? *56k* (Updated 13/06)

[QUOTE="-CUBE-"]

Have anyone played condemned 2? Do you recommend it?

I played the first and I really enjoyed it. I'm wondering if the sequel is as good as the first.

king-micky207

way better than the first, plus they made it far more scarier ,i almost had a Heart attack while i was playing it , i was taking some medic kits out of a box with a mirror on it in the bathroom , well you can see yourself in the mirror so before i opened the box i looked and stared to see if anything appears in the mirror, but nothing did so i opened it and healed myself and it closed by itself like it always do , then there was this disfiguerd guy standing right behind me!! i freakin' flippid off and paused the game, good stuff:D, anyways it's a must have if you liked the first one.

k thx man :) I bought the game today :D

HELP PLEASE!!! PM ME WITH THE ANSWER!!! I'm looking for an EXCLUSIVE 360 game that is NOT a shooter!!! nelfer320

Viva Pinata? Dead Rising? Eternal Sonata? Mass Effect? Bioshock? Lost Odyssey? Overlord? Some of those are on PC aswell, mind you. I'm not sure why you would specifically want an exclusive game...

And i need some help. I will have around 75-85$ and I would like a new game.

Ive beaten Bully on PS2 and i would rather rent it then buy it

I own: FFXI, Bioshock, Halo 3, CoD4, Mass Effect, Turok, Madden 08, Rock Band (Bundle), Lost Odyssey, Guitar Hero 2, MOH Airborne.

I need a new game cuz ive played the Crap out of these games which took awhile. And im bout to go on a trip for spring break and i need entertainment. Please help!

I'd recommend Gears of War (mebbe), Condemned, Dead Rising, Viva Pinata or Lego Star Wars. If you're not sick of the genre after Rock band and Guitar Hero 2, you could get Guitar Hero 3.

Again....why does it matter?

Hi, I need some unbaised opinions on a couple of games. If you like these two types of games that would be great help.

I'm trying to decide between Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 and Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. I love R6V1 but I also love soccer. I have Fifa 08 but it's no where as fun as the PES 2008 demo.

If I get PES, I have one friend that'll be able to come over sometimes and play

If I get R6V2 I can play online with multiple friends of mine (assuming they get it).

The problem with R6V2 is that I already have Halo 3 and I don't want to buy R6V2 if I feel like they're gonna be the same game type so it's like playing Halo 3 again but paying for it. By same game type I know they're different environement wise, but I don't want two shooters that play similarly.

By tomorrow these games will both be out, and I'm not planning to get any until later this month or beginning of April. I can ONLY get one of these and please don't recommend a different game cuz I don't want a different game. Unless it's Counter Strike for the 360. Then I'll get that instead. Hey if R6V2 is like Counter Strike, can you tell me? Thanks a lot for the help.

i'd suggest you getting r6v2 you won't find it like halo 3 because of the different gameplay,setting etc..,r6v2 it's an fps but also a tactical shooter,halo 3 isn't(i love halo3 i'm not saying it is worse than r6v2 but they're 2 different games) and if you have lotz of friend to play with,then what are you waiting for! xD

Anyone played FFXI on xbox ? I know its an older just ported to xbox but its about the only real mmo out for a console right now, i've never played a mmo on my console but i think it would be nice on my big tv sitting on the couch. Is it a good game? are the enough players online? is it worth playing or should i just wait for conan later this year ?hidd3nmarin3

Its a pretty hardcore game. it takes a long time to really get into it. Plus there is a monthly fee. I prefer phantasy star. Its cheap it just got new content and no monthly fee

need an online tactical game that is like Halo but not reliying on who shoots firsteliteman24

It always matters who shoots first, and were you shoot and with what weapons. I love COD4 and R6V but it really is about who shoots first. Maybe try team Fortress 2 with all the different charecter classes you might be able to turn around and kill them before they get you, depending on each of your classes and whether or not there is a medic of course.

Call of Duty 4's isn't even close to Halo and is a better choice, but even so it's still kind of a fragfest. it's not as tactical as you think but it's still a great game in general.

I haven't actually played the first one, but R6V2 looks like a decent game to pick up if you're looking for something more tactical.

I'm sorry. I can't take your sig pic seriously anymore.

Thanks for the help BulletSword.

I have another question. How much memory does the average 360 use? I wondering which 360 i'm gonna get an elite or pro. I'll probably never have more than 5 games at one time.Black5tar

Ive had my 360 since day one and have about 30 360games and 3 arcade games, i still have 9gb left

wow, man that's crazy. So after 30 games you still have basically half the memory left. I was going to buy the elite just for the extra memory (it has 100 more Gb's than the pro), but that's obviously something i'm not gonna use or need. I'm going to get the 360 pro today. With Halo most likely.

Id say get COD4 but if you like tactical shooters get RSV: 2

I want to work my way into turn-based games...any good ideas? I don't want to start off with Lost Odyssey or any FF games...any ideas?

I'm not a turn-based game fan but I feel like I should give them a shot...nothing like Eternal Sonata, either.

I tried Fallout but it's too old...I'm sorry...

in that case, i have to agree that I'm a bit puzzled about this scene too, but i thought it looked pretty cool. it's from a visual novel game which relies more on literally just reading text and making choices, then occasionally shows a CG image like this. i have to say the words describing the scene make more sense than the picture.

I love how I emphasized the word 'TO' and forgot the extra O. I can't edit. :(

I like JRPGs but there isn't much for turnbased combat on the 360 its kind of a dying genre. Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Enchanted arms are all i can think of off the top of my head of all these Lost Odyssey is the best. Blue Dragon might be good for beginers but the story isn't all that captivating and Enchanted Arms sucked. I know it is not turn based but Mass Effect and oblivion are great and i am really looking forward to fable 2 and fallout 3

There's nothing too turn-based available these days. You could always try a turnbased non-RPG, a boardgame like Carcassone, a strategy game or card game like Culdcept Saga, for instance. But, if you're looking for an RPG, Enchanted Arms, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are your options, I'm afraid.

PVKII for HL2 and Age of Chivalry.

Oops. 360 forum. No idea.

Dark Messiah? It's not MEDIEVAL but not modern.

sup everyone,i don't know if i want to buy or rent RSV2. I did play some of the first and enjoyed it somewhat. Anyone with the second RSV can they explain all the things new that are good and bad because i heard it was very similar to the first. Thanks

p.s. i know my name isn't quoteable but i'll know what your talking about and who your talking to

Yeah Forza is a fantastic option if you enjoy simulation racers.

Hi. Thinking of picking up either Halo 3 (really want to see the end after playing 1 and 2) or Gears of War (this looks great though and seems interesting). Wonder what do you suggest?

Which one would be better for one that will mainly be playing offline (still trying to decide if Live will be worth it time wise)? Replay value? Etc?

Thanks.

Should i buy Army of Two or is it just a more rent it?

the reviews are making it seem like its only worth a rent

Good job! You must have a lot of hard work into this.

I'd get Halo for now, but get both eventually. If you're going to be playing SP, Halo is better. Gears's story was forgettable and ended with a cliffhanger. Wait until the second comes out in a few months. Halo campaign is challenging on legendary and it has better local multiplayer.

BioShock - 60$

Gears of War - 60$

Halo 3 - 60$

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 - 15$

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Limited Edition - 70$

SKATE - 60$

NHL 08 - 50$

Saints Row - 27$

Grand Theft Auto IV - 60$

Halo 1 - 20$

Halo 2 Regular Edition - 18$

MX vs ATV Unleashed - 17$

The Simpsons Game - 40$

I have a budget of about 550 dollars. Which of these games aren't worth the money? I know I really want saints row, so don't tell me not to get it.

Lost odyssey score is STUPID, game is more like 8.5-9.0.

I don't know why this site is so #$#%#$#@, so don't belive them.

Lost Odyssey is the greatest game.

porky_ownsu

take out Bioshock. Rental at best imo despite the high scores. i'm not a fan of sports games so personally i wouldn't get NHL08. i haven'ttried SKATE, though $60 sounds like too much for it. otherwise your choices look pretty good.
