gettin 360, what are some good games for it?

I'm getting a 360 and i want to know what are the best games for it?

12-04-2007, 10:21 AM

What are you into? There are racing games, war games, fantasy, etc.

Assassin's Creed is the first that comes to mind. Perhaps if Captain Beefheart sees this thread he can give a review on it.

Ghost Recon, Call of Duty 4, Project Gotham, and FIFA '07 would be my picks.

But I'd recommend Playstation 3 instead.

killerbee05 · 12-04-2007, 03:15 PM

yea peoples telling me that i should get the ps3 but if the rumors are true i can just open the 360 and put another fan in it. I like RPG and war games.

M@tt · 12-04-2007, 03:52 PM

You need to get Mass Effect (RPG) and Call of Duty 4 (Modern War FPS). Two incredible games that fit your criteria perfectly.

killerbee05 · 12-04-2007, 04:48 PM

That sounds fun i read the mass effect book a few weeks ago. Is Halo 3 all what people said it would be

**Gumby** · 12-05-2007, 12:14 AM

I hear BioShock is the bee's knees. My friend told me that Gears of War is good, too.

luv_monkey · 12-05-2007, 01:25 AM

War/FPS
--------------
Gears of War, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, Rainbow Six Vegas, command & conquer 3, Bioshock

RPG
--------------
Mass Effect, Oblivion, Eternal Sonata, Two Worlds, Blue Dragon

I own all 3 consoles and the 360 takes up most of my time so yeah that would be my games suggestions

You really want to go thru the trouble of opening up and fixing something Microsoft fell short on?

PS3 have great RPG and war games. They're my favourites, too. I like the Battlefield franchise. BF: Bad Company, BF2, and 2142 are tops.

luv_monkey · 12-05-2007, 08:50 AM

if you do end up gettin a ps3, get Uncharted that game is fun

**Plastic Flute** · 12-05-2007, 02:32 PM

Guitar hero. is awesome.

rlm · 12-06-2007, 04:49 AM

you don't need to add an extra fan anymore. microsoft already corrected the problem. you also don't need to buy any of those fan coolers, intercoolers, or whatever they're called. those things cause problems and get very hot themselves. if you get the 360 make sure you get xbox live. they have recently put up an update for the 360 to allow divx compatibility among other things.

i would recommend gears of war, call of duty 3 and 4, guitar hero 2 and 3, bio shock and rainbow six vegas...that is until the next one comes out, whenever that is. i'm not into the halo games and they're overrated. halo 3 is the same as halo 2 and that's the biggest complain i've heard from many who've played it. new areas and all but basically the same thing.

M@tt · 12-06-2007, 06:38 AM

R6 Vegas 2 comes out Spring of next year. Before COD4 came along, the original was my favourite game on Live, so that's definitely a game to look into as well.

rlm · 12-07-2007, 04:53 AM

wait. another R6 game based in vegas? i thought they would go for something different. either way a must have.

mr.mark · 12-07-2007, 02:12 PM

you should check out saints Row

From what I understand Microsoft is covering 3 years from purchase now on the 360. That's a big warranty for ANY electronic device, most are only 6 months or a year at most.($280 for the Core, $349 for the Premium, $450 for the Elite).

Pretty ballsy of them, because they know that they'll be fixing a large percentage of whatever they've sold. Their stockholders probably didn't like this move, but it's definitely the right thing to do.

Now while XBox Live has been killing Sony online, and frankly, that's fine by me. Unless you dedicate time to finding a good partner/opponent, the realm of online gaming is a cesspool of hateful menchildren.

The PS3 is a slow investment, but it'll treat folks just fine with Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, and a bunch of other s!hit. Now, some of that other s!hit is on the 360, too, but in case you haven't been paying attention to the market at all, multi-platform will be the rule of the new generation. Developers and publishers want that cream and they've got two, count them two, viable platforms. It isn't like the days when the PS2 was monkeyf!ucking Xbox into total Halo reliance, the playing field will be pretty much even after this holiday season, so both companies are going to have many fewer exclusives than they used to.

I'm not really saying that the 360 will always be the better system, but for right now, I'd argue that it is.

I think the PS3-exclusive games that will have been in development for 2-3 years will be amazing (MGS especially), but I really think that the difference will be negligible for most games, since the majority will be cross-platform and it's easier (and cheaper) to develop games on the Xbox. The PS3 will get ported versions of 360 games for the most part on these multi-platform games.

sounds cool, i'm glad they finaly fixed that thanks u all

burnout paradise if your into racing

**Gumby** · 01-28-2008, 04:07 AM

I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas. The games I have are:

Halo 3
Bioshock
Gears of War
Mass Effect

They're all excellent games. For me, high replay value is one of the biggest factors in judging a game's quality, and those four definitely have it, for my tastes. I haven't had any problems with overheating or the Red Ring of Death, either.

**Plastic Flute** · 01-28-2008, 06:04 PM

360 Is awsome. you will enjoy it. Try Guitar Hero

rlm · 01-29-2008, 02:06 AM

games that have dissappointed me for the 360 so far.

bioshock. all hype. not worth it. boring. i have a lot of other negative things to say about it but i won't. shouldn't have wasted my money on it.

burnout paradise. i prefer the style of burnout revenge. this one left me bored. i'll never play this one again.

there are a few others, but these were the ones that really peeved me.
