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

Hmmm anyone know what I should get next within the next two or 3 weeks I'm gonna get

DMC4

Ninja GAiden 2

Eternal Sonata

Beautiful Katamari

Viva Pinata

and if I can find it for 20 bux, Dead Rising

oh and probably Marvel Ultimate Alliance too.

I already have Mas Effect and there's no way in hell I see GTA 4 as anything more than a pretty rental.

Can anyone give me advice for good two player games that I can play with my girlfriend? Not via Live, but on one 360, one screen. Splitscreen or a party game I don't know. Any recommendations?

Private message please, that way I'll actually get an answer.

Yeah, I'll be going to EB in a little bit here. I figure I'd do one of the following.

Buy GTA IV (see if I can find it used + coupon)

or

Gears of War + Crackdown + coupon

Damn it's hard to decide. I've played played and beaten through crackdown and geow, but I'd love to play through them again on higher difficulties. I've rented GTAIV and I really liked it too. I'm not sure what to do here. I don't have money to buy all three games however.

I'd go with Beautiful katamari,Viva pinata,and Eternal sonata because they're a great change of pace from the usual shooter.

Yeah, I was hoping that TF2 had like...a local multiplayer or at least allowed you to play alone teaming up with computer controlled AI and fighting CPU's. :(

But, by what I've seen so far in Oblivion...its like WoW for a 360 and it'll last a incredibly long while.

Thanks.

Hey guys, with the upcoming 360 price drop I'm planning on picking one up (I won't technically be able to pick it up until mid-late august because I'm going off and being a CIT for 5 weeks at a summer camp :D). And I came up with 5 games to start me off with my 360. They are:

Dead Rising

Mass Effect

Halo 3

Gears of War (Refresh)

Bioshock

I was wondering if these are good game choices, also DR, ME, and Bioshock are all singleplayer. But Halo 3 and Gears have multiplayer components that I won't be able to access, so would they be worth the money for their singleplayer alone?

Dreamable

yeah their still great

but without XBL your missing out on like more than half of the game's fun

mass effect and bioshock are supposed to be good, but you need XBL or you'll miss out on the experience

ok ive got xbl and i want to buy one of these three games, ive never played any so each one will be totally fresh to me, what should i get?

gears of war

cod4

battlefield: bad company

thx for any suggestions

I would make sure you have gold to play online. Don't even bother with Halo if you aren't going to have Live.

Freakinmullet

choose by random!

by the way if it helps you, gears is the cheapest

what are your opinions on dead rising? i heard the save system really sucks. is it enough to make u hate the game?pygmahia5

yes it is enough to make you hate it, but not for all that long

i say you rent it

what are your opinions on dead rising? i heard the save system really sucks. is it enough to make u hate the game?pygmahia5

I am about halfway through Dead Rising, and so far I would give it a 9/10. The save system can be really frustrating and you may even have to start your game over again (I have once so far). It's not that bad though since you keep your stats and you know what to do the next time around. Killing zombies with all the different weapons is fun, and I would definitely recommend buying (or at least renting) it since it's pretty cheap now.

ok i just got 40 bucks sooo. my options are the following and i need someones help:

should i get splinter cell DA, stranglehold, or dead rising? (cant think of other good games under 40 bucks.

u should totaly get cod4 its the best 1 there

its super fun

Pretty soon I'm going to buy an unlimited game pass at Blockbuster for a month. I'm trying to figure out some good OFFLINE games because I can't get a good connection to XBL when I'm home for the summer - here's my list so far

• Bioshock
• Assassin's Creed
• Alone in the Dark
• Ninja Gaiden 2
• Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
• Mass Effect (maybe)
• Eternal Sonata (maybe)

I've looked through the sticky but I feel there may be more games that I'm missing out on. All help is appreciated.

I'm about to get two Arcade games. i already have Uno, Bomberman Live, and undertow.

I'm thinking I'll get Civilization Revolution and Ikaruga, what do you think?

um civilization revoulution is not an arcade game it costs 60 bucks

I was thinking about getting 2 EA games because there is a promotion goin on. But i could not decide on what to buy.

Battlefield : Bad Company is one of my choice.

Any ideas of other EA games that is worth buying?

Dead Rising sounds the best between those choices.

You might want to add Lost Odyssey to that list as well as Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Stevie_Q

Civ Rev is a retail game, not an arcade game.

Ikaruga is really, really hard, but if you're looking for a challenge, then it's entirely worth it.

Spend your other points for either Soul Calibur or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

I was thinking whether to get Medal of honor : Airborne or Army of two. What do u think?faisal_a3

Burnout: Paradise sounds like a better choice between the two, but otherwise you can ask yourself this question: co-op or no co-op?

I'm considering buying a new 360 elite. I used to own one about a year ago, but got rid of it for the PS3 in August 2007. Some games I wanted to get for it when I get the system I've listed below and are wondering what some of y'all think:

Ninja Gaiden 2

Lost Odyssey

Mass Effect

Halo 3(maybe, how is it compared to Halo 2, I wasn't to big of a fan of the second one, but I loved the first...weird huh?)

Eternal Sonata

Blue Dragon

Bioshock(I own on the Pc, butI haven't even got past 10% cause I'm just not a PC gamer :(...)

One of the main reasons I'm getting the system, is for many of it's RPG/esque games on the console(plus an in-game dashboard that works better than in-game xmb :) :) :)....). I'm also really looking forward to the new Gears and Too Human, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, and Fable 2(RPG Overdose right there!)

Can any one recommend any other RPG's that I've probably missed and any games that are really good to play online on LIve(Exclusives,Ports, First or third person shooters, fightin...anything except sports)

I need help, should I get cod4 or battlefield: bad company?

flowdee79

I would totally go for CoD4

A friend told me that Lost Odyssey was fun, you must also buy Oblivion (if you haven't played it yet on your PS3)

um civilization revoulution is not an arcade game it costs 60 bucks

Sanghelio

Oh, oops. Any other recommendations for an arcade game? No fighters, please

Steel_Rain777

I'd avoid Blue Dragon. It's really not very good at all. You might like Eternal Sonata, but I found it a bit too hard to swallow (with the horrifically long cutscenes in which nothing happens). Lost Odyssey, Bioshock and Mass Effect are fantastic, although if you haven't been able to get through Bioshock on the PC, are you sure you want to buy it again? Halo 3's alright. From what I understand COD4 is much more popular for online gaming though...

Carcassone, Assault Heroes, Puzzle Quest and Geometry Wars are all pretty good, and worth a look. Check out the free trials before you buy though, obviously.

nvm bullet, dead rising i can borrow from a friend. what about strangle hold and splinter cell da?pygmahia5

from what I've heard, Stranglehold is too short but at least you're not paying $60 for it. The multplayer for that game is also dead if I heard correctly.

Double Agent might be the better choice if you're into stealth/action games, though I'm not sure if the multiplayer is very active today.

I love Bioshock on the PC, but I like the feel of a controller better, plus I've seen it on the 360 for like 18 bucks. Plus I have CoD4 on the PS3.

Steel_Rain777

if you have a wired 360 controller, just hook it up to your PC and if you have a wireless one, get a 360 Wireless Adapter (can be found at pretty much any store with 360 products). I would seriously not buy Bioshock again. Maybe it's because I was disappointed with it, but I don't think I'd any game twice.
