lower price on mass effect makes it sweeter. I heard the second vegas isn't as good as the first one.

I've been thinking, and I could also pick up Civilization Revolution (or Civ. IV for PC). What do you think?

I was wondering about multiple games.

Jericho- I played the demo and i thought it was pretty fun plus it's cheap. What are your thoughts on it should i buy it?

Sports games- Many 2K6 titles are incredibly cheap and i was going to try them to see if i'd like them. Are they good and which are the best? Also i'll buy 2K7 sports games too if i enjoy 2K6 games. Which are the best to get or should i just avoid the older titles and buy the newer ones? Keep in mine they're all cheap.

Racing games- I've wanted to try some but i'll be a beginner so what are good titles to start playing then advance from?

Kameo- I've heard many great things about it but i don't know is it as great as people say?

Also Rainbow six vegs one and two- Should i buy the first for the sinleplayer or just skip it and buy the second? How well is the community and how hard is it to learn?

I'll comment on what I can. For racers, I'd start with a relatively forgiving and not too realistic one. Check out Burnout Paradise. Avoid Forza and Grid, as they are pretty hard and probably not the best choices for a beginner. You should check them out if you find yourself enjoying the genre, as there is no denying their quality.

Kameo is a great RPG and a sweet deal, ranging between $5 nd $15. Arguably the best bargain bin game on the Xbox 360.

So I played the Soul Calibur 4 demo and loved it, however, I heard it is similar to SC 3, which I rented and hated. So, should I get SC 4?

grafkhun

no, SC IV is going even further from the series roots than SC III did.

I didn't say I hated it because it was far from the series roots, I simply hated it because I thought it sucked.

So, it's not so much if the game is not close to the original two, but if it's not the same as SC III.

For Racing games the previous advice is good - avoid sim type racers as they can be very frustrating for people new to racers. You've tried Burnout so know what that is like. PGR3 & 4 are also good racers and strike a nice balance between arcade racer and simulation. If you are looking for some cheaper (and older) titles, then look for games like Test Drive Unlimited (huge open world racer on the Hawaiian island of Oahu - loads of authentic cars and bikes, with arcade handling), or some of the earlier Need For Speed Series (Most Wanted or Carbon). Avoid NFS Prostreet as the handling in that game is definitely an acquired taste.

Sports games - if you are looking for old 2006 titles avoid the EA ones if you want to play online. Sept 2007 they disabled the online side for all EA 2006 sports titles. The 2K6 range however will still work, so if you want to try a sport you know nothing about then this is a cheap way to do it. These games do have a bit of a reputation though, as they are exceptionally easy to earn gamerscore on. As far as which is best 2K6 or 2K7 - to be honest if you aren't a big fan of the sport it covers, you probably won't notice much difference. As with all annualised sports franchise games, the core gameplay remains the same year on year. Rosters change, strips change, and a few mini-games get added or altered.

oh I see, well if you really need a 3d fighting game fix go for it I guess.

Ok, about to order a game off Amazon for $30 (used)...Gears of War 1 or Orange Box (mainly for Team Fortress 2)?

I also pre-ordered Gears 2, so just wondering if it's still worth it to get it with the 2nd installment coming out in 2 months :\

TF2 is the best multiplayer game on the 360, and with the updates coming out by the end of the year, its an even better deal. The community isn't gigantic, but its large enough that finding a game isn't a problem. If you can't find one, you're looking in the wrong place...most of the matches are player matches. Gears is good, but the campaign is short and the multiplayer is completely worthless. Definately get Orange Box, the other parts are also fun.

So should I get universe at war or Kanes wrath?Shade340

I already answered you but ok... wait Kanes wrath is a C&C expansion right? if you like C&C get that, or get universe at war if you are tired of C&C.

Can anyone recommend me an Arcade game?

I'm about to get Castle Crashers and have enough points left to get another 800point game (or two 400p)

I allready have: Marble blast Ultra, N+, Sonic, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor, Boom Boom rocket, GeoWars 1+2, Street fighter and UNO.

anything I overlooked and worth mentioning? I have a feeling I bought everything allready:P

thanks in advance:)

Are there any upcoming turn-based RPGs (like FF) ????summer_star17x

not really... last remnant may be turn-based but I'm not to sure, and FF13 next year apparently... I wouldn't count on it though, FF13 will come out in 2010.

killerfist

aces of the galaxy, Ikaruga and CV: SOTN

I need a new RPG thinking of getting Tales of Vesperia does that sound like a good idea?Star-Killer

what other RPG's do you have on the 360 at the moment?

What game should I get?

Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway or Lord of the Rings: Conquest?

I'm a big LOTR fan and I enjoyed Star Wars: Battlefront 2, but I'm a little worried about if it will release this year, plus if it does release this year i'll probably still be high on Gears of War 2 . On the other hand i liked the original Brothers in Arms games and liked them, and I know I'll like this one's single player but I'm not sure about MP or how great the dynamic camera will be in gameplay. So what do you guys think, should I get LOTR: Conquest or BIA: hells Highway?
