So I just got an Xbox and the one game I got with it was Oblivion. It's an awesome game but I need a little variety. I need a good game that shouldn't be hard to find.

Btw, I'm not interested in online play, I don't plan on getting it too soon.

I'd say BF:BC because i'm having tons of fun with it. Plus most dislike how in GTA4 after you beat it there's not really anything to do. As for Bioshock most say it's a rent but i've replayed it twice. Overall though they're all great games and buying any of them you can't go wrong.

I'd say GTA IV deserves only a rental. I don't know about BF: BC but I just can't wait for Soul Calibur IV, I'm currently playing Lost Oddysey, I just love the storyline and the oldschool battle system is just nostalgic I love it.

Single player? Bioshock, Dead Rising, Viva Pinata and Lost Odyssey are the best I can think of. You might also want to try GTA4.

hm, this is a very helpful thread, good work! Well if i had to recommend any of those games it would probably have to be The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, or Halo 3. I mean Oblivion keeps you playing for countless hours, and if you have xbox live Halo 3 is my favortie online fps on the xbox.

Maybe you're getting a bit bored of the ole' shooters?You could try a genre shift and go for Dead Rising/Viva Pinata/Lego Star Wars/Ninja Gaiden 2/Lost Odyssey/PGR4.

Here is my list of games you should play:

1. Oblivion (never get's boring)

2. Fifa 08 (Great online and offline with friends)

3. Raw vs Smackdown 2007 (Haven't got the 08 version yet)

4. Viva Pinata (Great fun for everyone)

5. GTA 4 (Hold the goal, but missing the abillity to fly airplanes and driver around in tanks)

6. Ninja Gaiden 2 (Excelent fun, but can be too much sometimes)

7. Rock Band (You allmost must play this with friends)

8. Guitar Hero 2, 3 and Aerosmith (Fun and difficult at the same time, with or without friends)

9. Assassin's Creed (If you want to ride the cityroofs instead of driving a car in GTA4)

and at last

10. Frontlines (The best shootergame ever made except for Halo 1 (Sorry didn't like Halo 2 or 3 too much))

Well here is my recommandation on games to play for a great gaming time. And here are some easymaking gamerscore games.

Fight Night, Viva Pinata, Thrillville, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed.

Hope this helps alittle.

I'd say Lost Odyssey, it's really quite good (although I've not played Bully).

I would go for Bully since I felt the setting was quite unique. It's enjoyable throughout and easy to get into too.

For anybody who doesn't have GTA IV at the moment, give it a whirl. It really is brilliant.

The campaign is lengthy and deep, and with stunning voice acting and awesome characters and visuals you can't go wrong. Liberty City is absolutely massive, and looks stunning from any distance. LC enables you to do anything, at any time, and you can have real fun if you ever feel like sidetracking.

Multiplayer is also appealing, and is very accesible. You can have up to two teams of 8, and various game modes are simple yet effective. Any players, of any skill, can access the game and it provides entertainment day after day.

(Also, Battlefield: Bad Company should be put up there. For anyone who's getting bored of CoD 4, or wants another online FPS experience, get this.)

Out of that list, I think Battlefield. They(DICE) said they said they payed closer attention to the single player aspect.

Eternal sonata by far. Blue dragon's good but somethings are annoying like the voices. Both are worthy purchases though. Plus it's pretty cheap.

Boy are they quick at locking up a thread when you all post it any where else than here. We could use a few of these type questions out there as for the most part mostly lame threads opened.

I would definitely pick up Mass Effect unless you don't like RPG's. Dead Rising is also a pretty fun game that you can get for pretty cheap now.

It's pretty much like KOTOR except a much more heavy emphasise as an FPS and stratedgy with your team mates.

so what do you think between GTA IV and BF:BC? I'm probably gonna pick up Oblivion at the same time for sure, but between those two games, which is gonna last longer and give me more for my money - based on singleplayer/multiplayer. just for the record i have played the BF demo and love it. what would you guys recommend?

Its dialogue system is like KOTOR but it's real-time combat. If you disliked the huge amount of dialogue in KOTOR i really don't think it'll be worth it.
