I didn't know where to put this but...

 

I got an XBox 360 for my birthday today and I got some games:

 

LOST

The Club

Condemned 2

Dark Sector

Crackdown

 

And I'm trying to get CoDWAW to play Nazi Zombies (as I'm forever on it at my mate's) but what I wanted to ask was what good games are out (LIVE or not and excluding Resident Evil 5 and Halo 3)

 

This would be a massive help :)

Earth Defence Force 2017.

 

The only game you will ever need.

This.

Also Gears of War 1 & 2, Assassins Creed for cheap, aswell as Mirror's Edge for cheap. Mass Effect, Rainbow 6 Vegas 1 & 2 also. There's loads of good games that are gonna be cheap now.

Plus there will be Arcade games you can buy; Gunstar Heroes, Marble Blast Ultra, Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid, Aegis Wing if it's still free/on Live, etc, etc.

Call of Duty 4 instead of World at War.

 

Or both, they're both cracking games in their own right. Bought WaW yesterday, did the campaign in one go last night. Not as good as CoD4, but damn fun nonetheless.

 

As for games, other than those already mentioned;

 

GRAW

GRAW 2

Dead Rising

Street Fighter IV

Soul Calibur IV

The Orange Box (though better on PC)

Far Cry 2

Devil May Cry IV

Fable II

TESIV: Oblivion

The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena (if you haven't played 'Escape From Butcher's Bay' then get this. It was one of the best games on the first Xbox and is included in this pack, fully remastered)

Pure

Fallout 3

Bioshock

The Darkness

Forza 2

Dead Space

Burnout Revenge

Burnout Paradise

PGR3

PRG4

Fight Night 3

Fight Night 4

Skate

Skate 2

GRID

UFC Undisputed

Viva Pinatta

Viva Pinatta 2

DiRT

BattleField: Bad Company

 

Loooooong list lol. I just started typing and that's what i came up with. Every one of them worth checking out if they're your thing :)

Christ there have been some boring games posted. At least put Banjo in there!

I'd have posted Banjo if it was a good game.

 

I think the lack of it being in the list speaks for itself.

I guess it's just taste but for me those red games are just frankly nothing special.

Earth Defense Force would surprise you (in a bad way) if you went out and bought it based on the judgements in this thread, you need to realise what you're getting. What you're getting is a game that was so underrated that it has now somehow become overrated as some kind of cult classic.

 

It's an enjoyable sofa split screen arcade shooter that's so dated that it looks like an N64 game. While it is a lot of fun, it's kind of strange to see it suggested before something like Gears of War, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Orange Box, Fallout 3, Rock Band, Street Fighter IV...

 

(You must own all of these, by the way. Now.)

You highlighted PGR. You are automatically the stupidest person ever.

Skate and DMC4 are amazing. On the other hand I didn't put them on my list because they're for more of a specific taste.

EDF is the greatest local co-op game ever (clocked in around 40 hours). Just makes sure you have a rocking soundtrack.

Tbf I'm probably not the only one, although I probably didn't play it enough. I just think if you're going to get a simulator/like game then you should do it the proper way, I'm sure you know what I mean.

No idea what you mean, at all. PGR is the slickest series around.

 

Cat'n'Mouse is the most underrated online racing mode. It's brilliant.

You just highlighted some of the best local multiplayer games in the list ::shrug:

 

There's a lot in there that isn't anything special. Heck, i'd say there's only a few games on the list that actually are. There isn't one game on there though that isn't worth a play through if it's your sort of thing. Most of them are dirt cheap now too, £10-£15 tops.

 

PGR? It's more of an arcade racer, not a sim so not really much of a comparison to that as yet unreleased PS3 game you're referring to ;)

This!

 

Eeeeeeee Deeeeeeee Efffffff! Eeeeeeee Deeeeeeee Efffffff!

 

It's pretty much mindless, non-stop action but it's so awesome! ^^

There is a prologue :) Although I'm not going to buy it.

I guess I'm just mal-informed.

Nuts & Bolts, as well as Kazooie and Tooie on XBLA, is awesome.

 

Edit: As for PGR...I sold it because it was a boring simulation game.

From my own experience:

 

The Orange Box - fuckin awesome. seriously.

Street Fighter 4 - luv it.

GTA4 - one of the best games i've played

Mass Effect - bit buggy but gooood

Bioshock - so immersive.

DMC4 - bit repetitive but loved it

COD4 - best shooter i've ever played.

It's definitely not a simulation. I can throw a Mclaren F1 round a tight 90 degree corner at around 150 mph. It is not a simulation.

 

It's about as arcadey as you get.

I played though a "year" and a half. The handling felt like a simulation (i.e. not fun) to me.

Basically agree with everything everyone else has posted but seriously, if you can only get one game make it The Orange Box because it's 5 awesome games in one and it's an incredible deal.

 

and dwarf gourami, you didn't like Dead Space? :nono: I agree about DMC4 though. Playing it now and it's not all that.
