Depends which genre you like more. I didn't like Bioshock though... and I haven't played Lost Odyssey.

I haven't played Vegas 2 MP, but I have played TF2. It's pretty fun, and it requires more teamwork than other games. FPS_Gamer123

Aye. But if you get the chance you should really get it on PC, rather than the 360. It's much better.

I have it for PC, it's just that I haven't gotten to the MP portion of it yet lolz, and the fact that I have been to busy to play.

I have Mass Effect for PC but since my PC is not a high end model (it copes with most new games on medium settings) but I want to play in nice quality, is it worth selling my PC copy and buying the 360 one?

The same question with Oblivion.

I'm a Call of Duty 4 freak.. and don't get my wrong, it's wikkid on XBox. I recently tried it on PC and it actually blew me away. If any of you XBx lovers can give it a run, let m know how you think it stacks up.

I have it as well for PC, and I find it better sometimes because you actually have to aim.

My pc sucks. I'll just pick up Vegas 2 and get The orange box when i have money. I'm wondering is COD3 good and also is GRAW1/2 still worth the purchase? Factor in the they're all really cheap now too.

I'd probably go with Geometry Wars, it's a great little timewaster. Just make sure you try the free trial before you buy it to make sure you like it. Good luck getting all the achievements though.

Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, Dead Rising, Viva Pinata, Crackdown, Ninja Gaiden 2, Dead or Alive 4, Gears of War, Kameo, PGR3 & 4, Forza 2 and Mass Effect off the top of my head.

Im getting a used 360 in a day or two, any game suggestions. Im getting Halo, i know it's not THAT good, but i like it.

Any hints on what genres you'd be interested in? Otherwise it'd be quite a long list.

Dead Rising, GTA4, Guitar Hero 3, The Orange Box, COD4 and Forza 2/PGR4 would probably be near the top of the best games list though.

What are your genre preferences. Some notable mentions are BioShock, CoD4, The Orange Box, Gears of War, Forza 2, Oblivion, Mass Effect, etc.

Hey all

I have been looking at the following games and would like your thoughts on them:

Ninja Gaiden 2 - 25 GPB ($50 US)
Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 - 18 GPB ($34)
Assassins Creed - 12 GPB ($24 US)
Crackdown - 8 GPB ($16 US)

Mass Effect - 15 GPB ($30 US)

Are there any other games out there that I should look at that are worth picking up for cheaper than the new releases?

I am thinking I may pick up old must haves rather than spending 40 GBP ($80 US) on one game as I have done in the past.

Cheers

Battlefield bad company if you have Xbox live. Bioshock's extremely great but i'd rent it first most people say they never feel the urge to replay it although i did.

Garfield i'd say Mass effect for great singleplayer,R6V:2 for online,and Crackdown for good old simple addictive gameplay at a great price.

What are some good budget games i may have missed.. i have gtaiv, halo 3, cod2, nhl 07, and i just ordered condemned off ebay for 14$.. I was wondering if there are some cheaper games i may have missed that are well worth the money. (Ive had gears of war and gh2,3 but sold them.) I dont want any games that are only good for multiplayer though.

BF:BC because it's out and i know it's great. UT3 had lots of problems on the ps3 so i'd just wait for reviews to see if they're fixed on the xbox 360 version. So i'd either wait for reviews if you're patient enough or go purchase BF:BC!

Should I get Battlefield: Bad Company or Unreal Tournament III? They're both coming out on Xbox 360 this summer, and they are both big online multiplayer games. I like both slow and fast-paced online gameplay so I reallly have no idea which one I should get and its killing me. Also the split-screen co-op sounds really cool for UTIII.

For anyone that played both games, which ones has the better experience? Please convince me on which one I should buy! Thanks.

Me and my friend are looking for a good xbox live co-op experiance in a couple games over the summer. We have already decided on RSV and we were thinking about lego star wars. Is there any good ideas on xbox live co-op games(not split screen) that we would maybe enjoy or atleast like to give a try. Please, we will take any suggestions, Thanks.

1. BF:BC-Reason i enjoy this is the most is no annoying UAV scan to give away your position 24/7,maps are larger which i enjoy more,and vehicle combat's very enjoyable.

2. COD4

3. Halo 3

Never played R6V:2.

1. Battlefield
2. Call of Duty 4
3. Halo 3
4. Rainbow 6 Vegas- don't get me wrong, it's still a good game, just not as good as the others.

Battlefield: Bad Company

You can get Gears of War and BioShock for pretty cheap prices. Gears has a decent campaign along with really intense and popular multiplayer, and BioShock has an excellent story.

First of all I just bought this 360 off ebay seems like a good deal, what do you guys think.

Secondly I'm after some games, obviously I know about all the AAA games but what are some good "hidden gems" that you can recommend.

Good buy and I'd recommend Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey (if you're into JRPGs) uh GRID is a great racing game.

Im thinking of getting a new game but im unsure on what... i really want a Shooter and/or fighter.

My plan was getting Gears of War and playing that till Soul Calibour 4 comes out...

Are there any other good shooters or fighters im over looking ???
