I am considering getting one for Fight Night 3 and the upcoming Gears of War. What are some other really good games you have played that would be worth getting?

Failure to oblige will result in the genetal cuff! :afrog:
I have one.
I bought Dynasty Warriors 5 (Love this series), Fight Night Round 3, Oblivion, Fifa and some less then impressive dog fighting game.
I would recommend FIght Night and Dynasty Warriors. That's about it in that list (Oblivion is fon for like... 2 hours and then it's painfully redundant).
Fight Night is a definate. Played it on the regular XBox and it was fun as hell. I have been considering Oblivion for the PC but not sure if I have the patience for it. :p I used to love RPG's but haven't seen one that will hold my interest for long ever since FF7. I'll check out DW and see what that is about.
It's just alot of killing (I mean... KOing). You pick from a hundred overpowerred samurais and take on huge armies. There's also empire mode where you conquer adjacent lands, get more officers, make stronger armies and take over more land.
I like it. :D
Samurai for the win!!
I played COD and I really like it, multiplayer and single player are really fun.
My friends like metal gear solid? I think thats it
I don't know. Unless you have a Hi-Def tv, the blaring advantages of a 360 are cut down a lot. I have played Fight Night and it does look and plays very very very well, but I don't have hdtv at my house so it doesn't live to full potential. I'm personally saving for a Wii. Until then, I have my new favorite game to hold me over. GUITAR HERO!
Oh. I've also played DW. I like it a lot and according to my history buff friend, it's somewhat accurate. For me, it gives the "we know what we're talking about" vibes.
I have one and do NOT have an HDTV. the trick is dont play it on one ever.. lol
then you wont know what u are missing!
no really there is a BIG improvement over the regular xbox.. even not on an HDtv
so
FightNight I enjoyed.. not my usual game type.. but graphics are incredible
other games?
Racing? Burnout was good.. PGR was Excellent. NFS lots of fun
my choice is NFS:MW (Need for speed) just for the fun factor
PGR is excellent if you like incredible realism
Burnout is excellent if you like super high speed crashes...
Shooter... hmm
BF2 SUCKED
Graw is really good (Multiplayer FTW)
COD is good.. (I dont like WWII shooters though)
Quake.. Ok.. a good rental
GOW will be awesome.
Lost Planet is AMAZING! (Cant wait for its release.. the demo was outstanding)
Oblivion was too in depth for me.. I like RPGs more like Fable (Fable2 is in the works for X360!! YES!!!)
Kameo is loads of fun with excellent graphics
Chromehounds (cant remember.. is it out yet?)
anyway.. looks to be a winner
Blazing Angels.. meh.. some loved it.. I thought it sucked
OverG looks to be more promising
thats all I can think of at the moment...
Haha. Well, that's pretty much true though. I don't know. I didn't see many super-obvious differences. It would be my number two next-gen console choice. Fable 2 looks freaking sweet. The one game that could possibly make me buy a 360 early is Dead Rising or something like that. Man killing zombies with soccer balls, chainsaw, and statues never looked so fun.
If any of you have plated Halo 2:
On Coagulation, if you stand on 1 base with a battle rifle, and zoom in, you can actually see and shoot people on the other base if you're using the 360.
That should hint at the quality upgrade
Halo sucks
sorry.. just my opinion.. boring
I actually have this one too, really loved it! I'm not a big fan of racing, but I am a fan of mindless destruction.Quote:
Burnout was good..
That's the "dog fighting" game I was reffering too. The controls are good, but the enviroments are cheap.Quote:
Blazing Angels.. meh.. some loved it.. I thought it sucked
Though that's not super obvious, that's amazing.

I am looking forward to Assasins Creed.
damn sony though for buying off the devs.. they had been plugging away developing it for the 360 when sony came along and paid them off for a times exclusive. so now we have to wait. But I do love that the stuff shown at E3 was actually 360 footage :) LOL
I don't play it for the 'thrilling gameplay' or whatever. I play it because its fun to play online against other people.
You guys read wayy too much into games. They're there for entertainment, not to make you jizz yourself they're so good.
I still have fun playing super mario 3.
If I remember right, that's the one where you actually have to "start" the plane.Quote:

Announcer: "Rotate the right thumb pad clockwise to start the engine."

Announcer: "Faster, faster! Get this bird of the ground."
*more sputters*
Announcer: "Did you remember to repeatedly click the left trigger to fill up the plane?"

Yes... thats it!!! lame lame lame
and I am an avid gamer.. but the fact is.. if I dont like the game.. cause its boring.
im not gonna play it :D
Good Multiplayer Games:
UT (PC)
BF2 (PC)
COD (360)
GRAW (360)
and mario? omg get the "New Super Mario Bros." for the DS.. its the SHIZNIT!
I spent way too many hours playing Unreal. Back in my day, that was the halo. There was nothing more nerve racking then playing one on one against your friend for 15 minutes in one of those massive enviroments (massive for 2 people); only to get pummeled by a railgun. Of course, the sleep deprivation and caffeine benders don't help either.
Heck yes! NSMB owns my soul. Well, not really but it is a good game. Man, I need to hook up the ol' Nintendo...
I loved Halo. It is the only FPS that works, and it works great with the XBox controller.Quote:

Halo 2 wasn't as good, they didn't have some of my favorite maps from Halo 1 and the assault rifle was too realistic.
lol.. I was partial to the shock rifle... Nice shock combo... mmmm nothing better.
that and Sniper rifle. ooooooooo Loooove the sniper rifle. they still have yet to bring a good version of it back in the newer ones. theyre too slow. I used to use it in close combat :D
had over 8000 head shots before UT03 came out....
You would probably waste me, I suck at FPSs. I grew up on RPGs, turn based strategy and simulation games. Half the time, I'd just plant bombs in the corners and wait for people to come around them. No effort to hide, no effort to shoot anyone coming from behind. Just stared at the corner with my detanator equipped. Sometimes I was a safe distance away, other times I wasn't.
Oh yeah. Original UT was the shizznit. Hated 2003/4.
All it takes is practice, unless you just suck naturally at those types of games.Quote:

I was never a big fan of CS... they should remake it now though.. its time

Whaaat? Whaat I say? It's a good game! You should get Prince of Persia too. I can tell that you haven't played many TPSs.
Cander.. that to me.. was more of the same... meh ;)
Tomb Raider Legend was ok... but not long or hard enough.. at least they got back to the roots of the original.

No one has mentioned Prey.. its pretty good, with decent graphics, but COD2 is the best shooter on 360. Tomb Raider : Legend is a good game (for a rental), nice n pretty, brought life back to that ailing franchise. Dead Or Alive 4 is a smooth fighter, tad more difficult that the ones in the past because of the shorter time for countering. Moto GP 06 is the best racing game on the 360, I have played them all, and had most fun with it, and graphics are great.
Anyone mention arcade?? Mutant Storm Reloaded, Geometry Wars, and soon Galaga is gonna hit the scene in the next week or two...
Spending too much time playing games and not programming... (27,000 achievement points and growing)
Hitman is my favorite game. You can choose to go on a killing spree and kill dozens of innocents knowing that you'll get your 2 targets eventually, or you can complete your mission using nothing but sedative and your faithful pianowire.Quote:
