Just bought a 360

Post by lexo »

$375 at Dick Smith for the 20 gig bundle. Pretty damn good price if I may say so!

I picked up PGR4 though it's not living up to PGR2's greatness :S. Should be picking up GTA4 tomorrow as well. What other games should I be looking at? Especially cheapies..

Fucking great price, man.

Buy Crackdown. It's the sandbox game you'll play once you're over GTA4.

Add on Fable2 and Gears2, and the 360 is getting a large collection of must have AAA exclusives now.

Yeah they were actually clearing them out at $398, just asked the guy what the best price he'd do was and he handed me one for $375 :)

I saw Crackdown a while back, it did look pretty cool. What about something flashy to show my new toy off?

Gears of freakin War!
Halo 3 with its 4 player co op & long-lasting MP mode.
COD4 should be cheap too, the MP is awesome.
Forza 2, probably the best racer out there ( if you liks sims, that is)
GRID, forgot about this one.
If you're still stuck on which game to get, head over to this link.

Yep, pretty much everyone has said what needed to be said.

COD4, Halo 3 and GoW are must haves, some people may throw Bioshock in there too. ESPECIALLY if you like the genre. Forza 2 is king of racers imo. Ninja Gaiden 2 will go down as one of my faves for the generation, but only get if you liked the original. Mass Effect is really nice too.

Oh, and Geometry Wars! Throw out a heads-up if you want to go through something co-op.

You can't go wrong with the suggestions above. If you want something flashy, I suggest adding Soul Calibur IV to the list.

Its good even for rpg-phobes like myself. The story, setting and dialogue are all really good. I would say it almost has a kind of Bladerunner meets Stargate aesthetic for the first 6 hours or so.

Oh and if we're recommending XBLA games, Braid, Rez, GW2 and N+ are all worth looking at.

Yeah Mass Effect looks really cool, when I'm through with GTA4 I'll pick it up for sure. Ninja Gaiden 2's another I'll definitely be grabbing. I saw GoW for $25 preowned at EB, another one I'll be picking up soon.

I can't decide on Forza, it does sound cool but I've never sunk enough time into the Gran Turismo games to feel like I'm getting anything out of the games. I'll probably still wind up getting it I guess.

Mass Effect is one of only 3 RPG's I've ever bothered to finish (4 if you count KoTOR - I got up to the final boss but kept dying :() It's bloody awesome. I have to play through it again now that I've downloaded Bring Down the Sky.

CoD4 is great. Single player is very short though.

Crackdown is brilliant. I hated the demo but love the full version.

I couldn't resist Doom and Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA as well even though I've (legally!) owned both of them on PC since the day they came out.

I've got an extra copy of Gears of War for sale if you're interested. It's in excellent condition. :)

In terms of what games, my learned colleagues above have already covered the basics. :up:

Fine in campaign the majority of the time but not a locked 30 in MP.

My Halo 3 save is gone :( Went to play it then, and nothing's there... all the other profiles on my machine have their saves. Halo hates me.

Sounds like a good excuse to play the whole thing. What's to complain about?

Mech and Corey in a tree C-O-O-P-I-N-G.


My flatmate is yet to experience Halo 3, he has played the first level, and then whenever he asked what is a good game we can co-op I mention H3 and his response his 'Oh, I thought it was old'. :(
