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

Hey, i want to get a cheap $40 game to play (20USD) could you guys reccomend me one? i've got halo , cod4, viva pinata and forza 2

Ok So I'm unsure which game to buy; Mass Effect or Rainbow Six Vegas 2? I really can't decide between the two and I don't have enough for both of them as I'm using the rest of my money for GTA 4. Any thoughts?

Mass Effect, hands down.

I just got DMC4 and im pretty happy with it but i just played Condemned 2 at a friends and i was pretty impressed.

Did i make the right decision?

Bomberman Live might be worth a look for the multiplayer. Puzzle Quest & Castlevania are pretty long, so good value for money. I also highly recommend Sonic 2.

I'm not sure, but I think Halo 3 maps become free after a few months (although I'm not sure if that applies to this latest batch).

if you don't already have it, get Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. it's a total steal at $10 and one of the best 2D fighters you can get. try the trial first though, since the AI is incredibly hard and punishing and has a steep learning curve, but if you're willing to learn, the game can last for a long while

I'm stuck between; The new Battlefield game or Rock Band. I loved the old Battlefield game and I LOVE GH games.. This is hard...Devoo55

id say rock band. The new battlefield is a bit dissapointing but RB looks awesome

I am trying to deicide between Blue Dragon and Medal of Honor: Airborne, I am a fan of both genres. (J/WRPG's and FPS's)

Thanks everyone.

from what I've heard, Blue Dragon's not that good. if you're looking for a good JRPG, then Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonata would be two great alternatives.

I'm not so sure about Airborne, but that personally doesn't interest me. if it's between that and a JRPG, then i'd stick with one of the two choices i mentioned above.

What racing game should I get?

Forza? Project Gotham? or Burnout Paradise

I have not played any racing game, ever and I'm wondeirng which will appeal to me the most. Online is loved by me. I also like action and cool crashes which I know burnout has.

Forza Mortorsport 2 is kind of a simulator. The learning curve can be kind of rough and especially since you haven't played a racing game, it might not suit your tastes immediately. Forza is less reckless. Burnout Paradise is a lot faster, but it's not like you're racing on a set track, but rather racing openly in a city finding the best shortcuts and routes and whatnot. I really enjoyed the demo, so Burnout Paradise sounds like a great choice.

i haven't played Project Gotham though

Actually I already have Eternal Sonata AND Lost Odyssey lol. Maybe get Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom instead?

i don't know about Circle of Doom, but there's a Blue Dragon demo I think. you could try that and see if you like it.

Hey guys, I got a quick question.

I'm probably gonna buy a game tomorrow, and i'm debating whether to get Gears of War or Halo 3.

I'm looking for split-screen multiplayer and a co-op single player which both of the games above have. But, I've heard a few negative things about Halo3 (I dont have Live yet, but will probably get it in the future).

So I'm on the fence. Thanks in advance.

Gears of War I have been playing it since it launched, and I sold Halo 3 two weeks after it came out.havocz8189

Sounds like burnout might be your thing, however, i think it is the worst out of the 3

I guess I'll probably get both, but which should I get first?blingring

I'd get Halo 3. THe campaigns fairly fun, the weapons are pretty varied, and the skulls add something to co-op play. Plus, if you get Live, Halo 3 has a much much more expansive multiplayer. I wouldn't bother getting Gears of War if I were you, the graphics are the only thing which stood out to me in that game...

I much preferred Gear's co-op but Halo's is still good fun when you get into it

Can someone help me decide which to get between Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata?I'm already getting Lost Odyssey and need one more game to along with it.

Eternal Sonata. while I haven't played Blue Dragon, i've heard that it's not as good. there's a demo for both of those games so you can check them out if you want. Eternal Sonata's a pretty safe bet imo, but the demos can be of help

I would say Eternal Sonata.

Anyway! I will be getting Armored Core 4 for sure today, and probebly another cheap-o game, so far I have these, if you think there is another game I should get that is below 20$, go ahead and say it:

Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 3

Enchanted Arms

Earth Defence Force 2017

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Stuntman: Ignition

Hey everyone,

So here is the situation I'm in. My friend and I are sophomores in college, and love to play Halo 3 together when we're bored. However, we're getting rather fed up with the poor community online. There are simply way too many 12-14 year old kids (no offense to those of you that are that age) who apparently spend WAY too much time playing Halo, and are consequently way too good for the casual gamers that we are. I'm not even going to mention the extreme immaturity that goes around, because I'm sure you're all well aware. We play mainly social games, but that doesn't seem to help. It feels like every game we play is against a team of grade 2 generals who have a level 45 in virtually every game type.

Anyway, I've been looking for a good game that I can play online as an alternative to Halo when I don't feel like trying to compete at that level. I tried Vegas 2, and I loved the offline but the online didn't do it for me. I don't like running into a room and dying before you can even figure out which direction you're being shot at. I'm a big fan of shooters in genera, but here's a list of games that I currently have: Mass Effect, Halo 3, Splinter Cell D.A., Half Life 2 The Orange Box, Bioshock, and Vegas 2. I actually enjoyed playing some Team Fortress 2 on the Organge Box, but apparently I'm alone there as its tough to find games to play. I had COD4, but my brother currently has our copy back home. I loved the single player, never played the multiplayer. I've heard its great, but I have a feeling I'll run into the same problem I ran into with Vegas 2...I don't like online games where I die in 3 shots. Those games tend to have a rather steep online learning curve because of how quickly you can get killed by kids who have way too much spare time.

So, does anyone have any suggestions of a fun game for xbox live with a less competitive, more mature community? Don't get me wrong, I do like to play a competitive game, but I would like the option of coming back from a long day of classes and playing a few rounds of a game where I don't get roasted by kids who don't have a social life. And before you suggest it, I don't really have enough friends on xbox live to play custom games on a regular basis in Halo. Trust me, if I could, I would. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

There's Frontlines: Fuel of War, it has dedicated servers, large battles, and a pretty mature group of folks. (At least the demo did.)

CoD4 has the same problems that Halo 3 community was, just more so since more people play CoD4 now. Halos 'immature' community has actually went down quite a bit, but it's still there.

Maybe Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, or you can wait 'till May 27th and get Quake Wars, or Battlefield: Bad Company in June.

Going to get a 360 tomorrow. What is the best 2 player game that isn't a shooter?Blackification

Do you mean split screen, co-op or multiplayer online

[QUOTE="Blackification"]Going to get a 360 tomorrow. What is the best 2 player game that isn't a shooter?fenwickhotmail

Should I rent Dark Sector or Sega Super Star Tennis?Links14

Dark Sector. i'm not a fan of sports games, though SSST doesn't sound that great of a game anyways...

It's not, and the novelty of being able to play tennis with Gilius from Golden Axe soon wears off.
