    Recommend me a game or two!

    Lo All,

    I picked up a cheap 360 this weekend (only came with fifa 2009) and was wondering if anyone had any recommedations. I'm a bit behind on console gaming last thing i bought was SF4 for my PS3.

    Wouldnt mind something xbox exclusive. Not a huge fan of FPS's but if its something good I would consider it, oh and sports games are a definite no no.

    Thanks in advance.

    Assassins Creed 2 is awesome, kinda miss a lot though if you havent played the 1st.
    Left for Dead 2 is supposed to be good too!

    I'll go for a proper retro game.

    PGR2 - still the best in the PGR series.

    However it's an original xbox game, but works on the 360

    Assasins creed 2 looks good. Hmm I think my cousin has the first one might have to go and borrow that from him.

    Not a huge fan of serious racers, loved wipeout on the ps1/ ps2, something like that would be good.

    Re: Recommend me a game or two!

    IDD - if you can get hold of the 1st i would before tackling the 2nd, granted the 1st is VERY repetitive but alot of the content in the second is very 'inside' if you get my meaning and will only mean something to you if you have played through the 1st.

    but ASII is REALLY good!

    Re: Recommend me a game or two!

    I don't own any consoles, only play games on computer but assuming games are the same on X-Box as PC:

    Gears of War both 1 & 2 are good (have played these on a mate's X-Box. GOW1 on PC had probs with SP game though MP was ok).

    I'm enjoying Batman Arkham Asylum on PC though it's not to everybody's taste.

    Fallout 3.

    Oblivion: Elder Scrolls IV

    Call of Duty 4, 5 & 6.

    Halo 1, 2 & 3

    Left4Dead2

    Call Of Juarez Bound In Blood is quite good, though nothing spectacular.

    Sega Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection if you're into retro, loads of games there.

    Bioshock 1

    Race Driver: GRID

    I found Assassin's Creed visually stunning but repetitive and boring. First two levels were great but from then on it was just more of the same, or seemed so to me.

    Same criticism could be levelled at Far Cry 2 as well.

    Well there's a few, just my opinion though, others may disagree.

    Re: Recommend me a game or two!

    If you're looking for Xbox exclusives Gears of War 1 or 2 would be a good start and both can be picked up pretty cheap these days. Same goes for Fable 2 and Mass Effect, they're both top notch games and you can get them for a song. I wouldn't bother with the Halo games seeing as you're not a huge FPS guy to be honest, I love first person shooters and even I can't stand any of them. One first person game I would recommend very highly though is Fallout 3, especially the game of the year edition

    Agree with Grid - superb game and easily picked up for a tenner. Army of two - 40th is looking good so far but that will set you back more. Co-op shooter

    Re: Recommend me a game or two!

    Oblivion + bioshock are dirt cheap and very good games indeed. I have bayonetta for sale on the forum (shameless plug)

    I finally bought a 360 elite last week for the missus who expressed and interest - she's already taken by oblivion and i'm hoping she'll like bioshock as much
