Hmm... I was thinking should I buy R6V2, Lost Odyssey, Too Human or just the 1 year xbox live gold account??? (I would like play CoD4 in Live but I would like to play a new game)Monkey935

Either Live or Lost Odyssey. CoD4 will last you a long time on Live, but if you prefer single player Lost Odyssey will last you 50+ hours

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?

LOTR: Conquest

Castle Crashers or Braid?Stevie_Q

only answer I have for this is... both.

hey guys.

I'm in need of a good turn-based RPG, sort of like the Final Fantasys. I love its battle system.

are there any games like FF on the 360 yet?

I was thinking of getting a game off of xbox live today, and narrowed it down between Braid or Jade Empire.

Which would you recommend? Or is there another game you'd suggest off of XBL?

Thanks in advance. :)

Continuing on the best RPG for the 360, so far:

I've played Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia. My vote goes to Tales of Vesperia and Mass Effect would have to be second. Both Eternal Sonata and Lost Odyssey. I do have to admit that Eternal Sonata's method of turn-based gameplay got more difficult by limiting your tactical time and added more originality to the turn-based genre. However, Lost Odyssey was the typical turn-based RPG game that I've been playing since the Chrono Trigger days.

I recommend Saints Row because theres lots of stuff you can do (played it) like you can customize the character the way you like it, Oblivion is a must buy definetly. And of course Saints Row 2, out in august. 'Cuz I think its gonna be a great game and theres coop (maybe splitscreen too), and theres even more things to do than in SR1. Also Army of Two, but when you get every singleplayer achievement but don't wanna get mp achievements, it gets kinda boring after unlocking all weapons and pimped them out (fully upgraded). Like I gots over 1,000,000 Credits in Ao2. And Tomb Raider Anniversary if you like a challenge. So those are games I recommend to buy.

Sorry mates, what I was meaning to say is that Saints Row 2 hits the stores in october, not august. I wasn't thinking that last month was august, not the next one. Anyway, my bad.

I'm getting back into Lost Odyssey.. I got to the middle of disc 2 and started to get a few other games that started to take up all of my time.. I think it's an awesome game nothing really NEW about it in the way that its just another turn based RPG but the graphics are great and the story line is really good once you get into it.

I want to beat LO first before I get any more RPG's and I still want to pick up a few RPG's for the PS2 since I completely abandoned that system when i got my 360 =[

There was a demo on the 360 at one point.. I am not sure if it is still on there but i downloaded it and played it and LOVED it.. i see its down to only $4 now and it is DEFINATLY worth that price. It's nothing totally stunning and spectacular "i have to run out and get this RIGHT NOW" type of game but it's really worth the price tag on it.

Prey is good fun and has an entertaining if very bizarre story. It is also very cheap as it was available around launch.

The only downside is the multiplayer. This is lots of fun if you get a full server (max 8 people), but unfortunately so few people play it now that you can struggle to find enough people to fill just one game

Hey this isn't about a game in particular, but I was wondering from anyone who uses the service is Gamefly worth it? There's alot of games I want to play but not buy and the nearest blockbuster doesn't exactly have a great selection.

So which racing game demo should I download tonight guys, I was thinking of Dirt or Grid since I've heard good things about them. Which one do you like better? I don't usually download demos and should have recieved Merc 2 from gamefly today but cause of labor day weekend, it's being a bit delayed.

Ethanpaige, to answer your question about gamefly, ya it's worth it, you'll be playing a lot of games. Except try to rent the newest games out at the time so the discs will have less scratches. I rented Halo 3 from them and it was so badly scratched I didn't even wanna play it, then they send me another one and it was scratched even worst. My only inconvenience with them so far, but I have a feeling more is to come.

Both are fun, and made by Codemasters, so it really comes down to which type of racing game you want to play.

GRID is very circuit based and tries to use real world cars and tracks. There is no modificaiton for any of the vehicles. Turning driving assists on or off will allow you to make the game more like a simulation, but with them all on it is easy to pick up and play. My main criticism of it is the AI, which is awful. Rather than doing their own race they are linked to you by a virtual rubber band, so the faster you go, the faster they go and catch you up. In the head-to-head challenges this gets to ridiculous levels where a spun out driver will be right back on your tail within 2 corners.

DiRT is a mixture of a rally game and drit track/off-tarmac racing game. The career mode is very good, and the selection of difficulties provide a challenge whatever your skill. There is quite a big range of cars, and only very minimal customisation (changing the preset car skin to another premade skin), but the AI is much better. DiRT's main weakness is the lack of variety online, as only a couple of modes from career are available to play online, and you can't see other drivers on track.

If you are looking for a single player racer, then out of these two I would recommend DiRT. If you are looking for an online racer, then GRID is the better bet, though the online community did have a large number of people that seem to think every mode is destruction derby :(

of you're a big metal slug fan yes. I would personally rather get the anthology version which has metal slug 1-6, it's on ps2, psp and wii.

I prefer you don't buy any of those games. Just wait for sometime , because there are great games coming out like , Gears of War 2 , Resident Evil and Call of Duty: World at War. If you still think you have to buy those games , go for Viva Pinata. Hope that helped you!

Thanks everyone, I know there are LOADS of cool games coming out soon, but I really need a long-lasting one now, so I can wait until xmas and ask for games such as CoD5, Mirror's Edge ect.
So right now I'm leaning towards Trouble In Paradise, and i guess I could download the free demo of SPORE to see what its like :)
Thanks again everyone.

Yo dudes. Racing games are not my favourite. I love NFS and Burnout and other UN-realistic racers, but I've never really been into games like Forza or Gran Turismo... NOW, however, I've seen some videos and stuff of Racedriver Grid, and it looks sooo sweet and cool and awesome! Is it a game worth getting?

Thanks.

valttu- grid is decent, the handling is very loose and it's more sim-like than arcadey. since you like Burnout, I would suggest burnout paradise if you don't have it yet.
