What games do you suggest? Theres just oo much choice, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of games, having just come from wii land...

So far, I have Halo 3, Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones (the last 2 came free with it...I would not usually spend money on...well, maybe indiana jones)

Fable II

TomClancy's EndWar
Fallout 3
Gears of War 3

Just to name a few.

I thought there were only two so far.
Even though I don't have an Xbox 360, I've heard those games TribulatioN mentioned are good.
Bioshock and the Call of Duty series are great games too.

First off, you punch yourself in the face for buying an XBawks. Bad squibbles, bad. Don't do that anymore.

Then, go and buy Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, and N+. Also, get some tissues for your newly broken nose.

Banjo-kazooie nuts and bolts, Fallout 3, Saints Row 2, Fable 2 if you can get it on sale, Dead Rising and Bladestorm.

I would recommend against Fable 2. It's ... not worth it for the price. :D

It's alright - but really, XBLA games are better value.

Dead Rising?

http://nmaps.net/user/smartalco · Postby **smartalco** » 2009.01.27 (17:26)

Depends on what kind of games you like, but here are my random suggestions.

Ace Combat 6
Rock Band 2
Only Fallout 3 if you don't have a good gaming PC you could play it on instead.
Lego Star Wars (most ridiculous fun co-op game, Lego Indy doesn't compare)
CoD4 or 5

CoD5 sounds amazing because that's all my friends talk about... <_<

Call of Duty 4 is eight times the game Call of Duty 5 is.

Indeed a typo.
Some more that I forgot:
Rock Band 2
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

And I'm the one to break the 6 moderator comment combo. ^_^

You moderate my heart!

Anyways, N+ for the XBLA is an amazing game. Rock Band 2 is totally seconded, Mass Effect is real good if you're into spiraling long dystopian RPG's, Dead Rising is pretty decent, and uhhh. What was that game with the fucking buildings and the jumping and shit? Crackdown.

http://nmaps.net/user/Guitar_Hero_Matt · Postby **MattKestrel** » 2009.01.28 (13:51)

Rock Band 2 > Guitar Hero World Tour
Burnout Paradise > All NFS games ever
COD 4 > COD 5.
PGR 4 > RACE Driver: Grid

I couldn't suggest Halo 3 enough. Not for story, just for immense fun value. Glad you have it :)

Project Gotham Racing 4
As with Fallout 3, if you haven't got a good gaming PC, get CoD4.
N+

Postby **SlappyMcGee** » 2009.01.28 (17:19)

The Orange Box is amazing, if you aren't a PC gamer. Five sweet games (All right, four and one sweet map) for forty bucks.

http://nmaps.net/user/heatwave21 · Postby **heatwave** » 2009.01.28 (18:24)

CoD5, just for the sake of Nazi Zombies. I'm sure CoD4 is better in all other respects.
Also, I game I particularly like is Battlefield: Bad Company. Destructible scenery? Check.

I thought he was referring to Portal's length, but I could be mistaken.

But if you don't count Portal as a game, theres only 3 games... TF2, HL2: Ep2, and Peggle, unless he just wasn't counting peggle and his four were TF2, HL2, Ep1, and Ep2

Postby **Luminaflare** » 2009.01.30 (09:50)

He meants TF2 and twofort i believe. He is always going on about how TF2 is just twofort on vent.

Postby **SlappyMcGee** » 2009.01.30 (17:38)

Oh, yeah, the Luminaflare thing. I love TF2 a lot, I was just satirizing the popularity of 2FORT as a map.

The other games are Hl2, Ep1, Ep2 and Portal. Peggle doesn't come with the XBOX version.

I'm happy with Gears of War 2 and N+.
