    Which 2 Games to Buy? (360)

    Hello all,

    Which two games would you get out of the following and why?

    GRAW
    Project Gotham Racing 3
    Top Spin 2
    Call of Duty 2
    Viva Pinata
    Tony Hawks American Wasteland
    Far Cry Instincts Predator
    Hitman: Blood Money

    I'll be picking 2 up this week, I just can't decide which are the better games.

    PGR3 is awful IMO, was really disappointed with it, I reccomend Viva Pinata if it's your kind of thing. The others I have little experience of, CoD2 is excellent on the PC and it's basically the same game on the 360.

    Another one you might want to look into thats coming out soon is Battlestations Midway. It's a kind of strategy/action game where you carry out naval battles on the pacific (yanks verses the japs, you also get air units to fly). Theres a multiplayer demo of it on live right now, I've been having tons of fun playing that right now (although I should really be revising).

    It's a confusing game to play at first, since the controls seem a little odd, but if you download the tutorial video thats also out on live it makes things a whole lot simpler.

    Project Gotham Racing 3, still arguably my favourite game on the Xbox 360. I just love it, absolutely brilliant. I played it for months on end when I first got it.

    Although Top Spin 2 is a lot fun, I see from your gamercard that you already have Table Tennis. Although different games, they are both sports titles so I personally would get something different. I'd go for Viva Pinata.

    PGR3, as it's still my favourite 360 game.

    Viva Pinata as I don't fancy the others much

    Table Tennis is going cheap, that's a must-have !

    Seems PGR3 is a popular choice so I think I'll try and get PGR3 second hand and pick two others.

    I've not really heard much about Viva Pinata, what's all the hype about it? It looks like a kids game.

    Id say PGR3 and THP8.

    PGR3 has kept me occupied for quite a while, the 'career' mode is pretty long, but doesnt get repetive, and its great fun online. Just needs more proper circuits really.

    THP8 is incredible really. Very accurate and very indepth, alot of goals and things to complete too, so will keep you going for a while.

    On the surface it is a kids game, but delve deeper into it and it's complicated enough that even some adults find it hard.

    Basically, you have a garden, and you have to attract pinatas to it, you then have to breed them together and sell the offspring and stuff. It starts off really easy, but it does get pretty tough later on.
