    Recommend me a 360 game

    Right, I've decided to spend some of the hard-earned on a new Xbox 360 game - any recommendations? I'm not sure what to get really.

    Already have PGR3 and COD2 and I don't want to get Oblivion on 360 as it seems something I'd get more out of on PC.

    I'm in the same boat as you and am leaning towards either Burnout, Top Spin 2 or Fight Night Round 3. Theres a thread in the bargains section that has a £5 off voucher for HMV that might come in handy for you .

    I was tempted by PDZ, but when I played it I didn't enjoy it at all. I'm pretty sure that was just because I had never played an FPS/TPS on anything other than PC before. Having built up gun-aiming skills on COD2, I might give it a go.

    GRAW is great if you like that sort of game.

    Also, Fight Night is good. Don't get caught up in the hype of Tomb Raider though, unless of course you're a big fan.

    i wouldn't recommend getting PDZ. personally i'd go for Ghost Recon, awesome game and is one of the only games (other than PGR3) that shows off the potential of the 360.

    Ghost recon IS the best looking title currently available imo. Its one of the best games on the system.

    Not sure about PGR3 showing off the potential of the system. To me it just looks really bland- glitches everywhere. Very unimpressed by that one

    PGR3 has no glitches that I've noticed. It does not have 'gitches everywhere'. Not at all.

    Don't get Perfect Dark Zero, its rubbish.

    GRAW, Burnout Revenge, Gotham, Top spin, Tomb Raider, Fight Night, Oblivion, Dead or Alive 4. Take your pick.

    Just don't get PDZ. You *will* trade it in for a better game after a while.

    Oh and Dead or Alive is not for everyone. You will love it or hate it. Try before you buy.

    You gotta get Fight Night 3. Just make sure you have a couple of controllers so your mates can play.

    Hmm PGR3 looks rubbish for me

    I am playing it through my dell 2005fpw (VGA cable 1366x768 resolution). Not sure what im doing wrong but it looked good at HMV through the Samsung HDTV
