Just finished the Orange Box and I want something with a great storyline like the Half-Lifes do. I like the fps genre, and I found Halo 3 to be a bit shallow... I like the 6th sense mystery thing added in if possible too (Gman rocks)...

Great Storyline.....Hmm..Try Assassins Creed if you havent. My Seccond Opinion would be Ninja Gaiden 2. Fast paced but only 14 chapters. Semi good replay value.

Ninja Gaiden Black, Fable and Psychonauts are all worth a look.

i am considering getting a xbox 360. If I do I will be able to get 2 games with it. I was thinking I would get Halo 3 and either Gears of War or Bioshock. In you opinion, Which one should i get? Other suggestions are welcome too.

Looking for original Xbox games that have a good/memorable story...

Thanks!

p.s. I have played through Kotor 1&2, Jade Empire, Ninja Gaiden, Fable, and Morrowind which pretty much sums up my original Xbox gaming..

and for the post above me, both Bioshock and Gears is a good choice, can't go wrong, but I would think that thriller/suspense type gamers would prefer Bioshock because of its incredibly tense atmosphere but if you plan to play through the Gears series, you need to check that out too. I would buy Bioshock and rent Gears just to play through the story unless you plan to play online then do it vice versa....hope that helps!

I know it's not the most well-known Xbox 360 game in the world, though Earth Defense Force 2017 is a game that has budget written all over it (messy textures, so cheesy it's funny) though it's actually a whole lot of fun once you get past the cheap technical aspects. Basically a shooter where you get to use explosive weapons against floods of supersized stuff. Kind of Serious Sam-ish in terms of numbers, though plays a great bit differently. It does have co-op (just offline, no online), so I recommend at least a rent of it to those of you searching out co-op stuff.

I have a big time craving for a survival horror game, i'm thinking about AITD but what else is there (because Alone in the Dark can be bad or good) I WOULD LOVE Left 4 Dead, but it's gonna be a while, so what else is there, or, are there any just regular games that are fun and will last me a while?

Hey I'm looking to buy a new game and I'm kind of in a mood for an RPG but another game has caught my eye. I'm looking at Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata, or Ninja Gaiden 2. I know that you can't really compare Ninja Gaiden 2 to the others but it just seems like a lot of fun. I have played a little of all of those games besides Ninja Gaiden 2 but not much of them because they were rented and my 360 broke when I had them. I'm looking for one that will last me a while without being to bland or boring. Any suggestions on which will be the most enjoyable for me?

I haven't played Lost Oddysey or Eternal Sonata But both Mass Effect and Ninja Gaiden are excellent choices, personally i would choose Mass Effect because it will last a lot longer than NG2

Alright fair enough. Another question though. I did try Mass Effect once and I seemed to be really bad at it and it kinda made it a little boring. I've heard being a soldier helps and stuff but if it wasn't very entertaining the first time is it still worth another shot?

If you tried it and didn't like it chances are you are not gonna change your mind. Once you get better weapons and level up and become better with your guns, meaning more accurate and powerful the combat becomes a little better but you can always turn down the difficulty. Some people forget its an RPG and that the shooting isn't the best. I played it for the story and the amount of freedom it provided over other games. you can go to any world at any time, do missions in any order, just the talking in the game was amazing I played it twice and each experience was different.

Not looking forward to either, demo for BC was dissappointing mostly due to the lame map

I'd rather rebuy COD4 for my Xbox 360 even though I have it on PC

Battlefield will most likely have an amazing online play. All of the previous ones did. Call of Duty 4 has an addictive online play, but will be hard at first due to people who play it alot. [They take that game seriously...] Rainbow Six Vegas 2 also has a solid online game. I would go for Call of Duty 4, or Battlefield: Bad Company.

I agree, cool thread really useful. I got my 360 about 2 months ago with Gears and since have been working my way through budget titles. Loved Call of Duty 2 and GRAW and i'm currently getting the crap scared out of me playing condemned, next i'm gonna buy The Darkness as it's got so many good reviews and now sells at £7.99! I know that GTA4 is amazing but with so many cheap titles available i'm happy to wait.

Hey, well, I've been thinking of getting a 360 in October(That's my birthday), but you see, I've been hearing talk and reading of a new Xbox in 2010...And I am pretty sure they're not lieing, so it seems like buying a 360 would be a waste since the new one will be out pretty soon...However, here are some factors that make me really want a 360.

- Most of my friends have a 360 while I'm stuck with a PS3... GTA IV without any friends isn't too much fun :(

- Tales of Vesperia

- Eternal Sonata

- Halo 3(Maybe... I'm not a huge fan of Halo)

- NINJA GAIDEN II!

- Gears of War

- Banjo Threeie(Although, I've heard it's probably gonna flop according to previews)

- Mass Effect

And other things... What should I do? Wait 'til the new XBOX, or just get a 360?

Imo , i think you should just get a Xbox 360 , although you want these games , you'll find plenty more you want aswell when you actually get the console.
And as for the new Xbox , i think will start to hear things about it around 2010 , yet won't actually see it till around 2012 :)

I am looking for a good tactical shooter and have narrowed my decision down to Rainbow Six Vegas and GRAW 2. Multiplayer looks really good on both, so which game has the better single player? Thanks in advance.
