upcoming/current 360 games

[MuTTy_Hc]

Other than RB6: Vegas and Lost Planet after XMAS whats worth getting over the next month or two? Bear in mind I have Gears.

Also what current racing games are really worth having on 360? I got pgr3 but wouldnt mind another.

Any good sports games too? I got pro evo 6 and dont want fifa, something not football related.

thanks

I'd have to recommend two EA Games!

1: Need For Speed : Carbon

Its heavily an arcade style driving experience so doesnt try at all to be realstic. But the customisation aspect of the cars I think makes it a great purchase. I quite enjoy getting a car and adding my touch to it bodykits, vinyl etc. Its all about street racing, fast and the furious style so I guess if thats your thing this game is ideal.

2: Burnout Revenge

Again another arcade racer, but far more an instance pick up and play. Tremendous races which are fast and frantic are the order of the day. The damage simulation is quite something and the crashes are really quite something. I found myself coming back for more and more so I could unlock the faster cars so I could bomb about a lot faster.

Sports wise I'd recommend Rockstar Presents: Table Tennis. Its such a simple concept and admittly doesnt visulise a great game. But the way its been executed in this game is ace. You'd think it would be boring but the slow mo feature which you are your opponant can use to lug the ball across the table adds an element to what would otherwise not be much good.

no no no. both those are short and unreakistic. get forza

and for a sports game get fnr3 if you like boxing, its ace. We have been playing it since release day and a hell of a rivalry has built up between my friends for the title

Burnout is pretty good (despite 1 or 2 nearly impossible achievements), table tennis is also quite good.
I'm quite enjoying Ninety Nine Nights - very hack and slash, but strangely addictive.

I agree. I've spent many an hour on this addictive little baby, its single player is limited but it shines on XBL... the best bit is is that you can now pick it up for about £15 on play.

At the moment I'd say racing games are in short supply, PGR3 is the best one and in my opinion the only one really worth getting. Still a while to go till Forza 2 but that'll be one to get for sure.

The best sports title so far in my opinion is Table Tennis, it's a bargain price too so I'd highly recommend it if you don't have it already. There's also the new WWE game, I'm not into wrestling but I've heard very good things about it and it's getting very good reviews.

Viva Pinata is out on December 1st, that might be worth getting if you fancy something completely different.

Im looking forward to january;

lost planet, mass effect and bioshock.

[SmileyUK]

dont think mass effect is going to make a jan release i thought it was looking closer to march.

Burnout is good for a non-serious racer, can have alot of fun on it.

Table Tennis / Top Spin 2 / Fight Night are all good games imo

anyone know any info about Huxley. It is a mmpofps (???) kind of like planetside on the PC. It is built using the Unreal Engine 3 so should look pretty swish if GoW is anything to go by. Also where has Alan Wake got too?

[dancingtornado]

says here on play.com that huxley and alan wake are due for release on 5th january.

[Dooms]

From what ive seen i really dont like the look of Huxley
