I got an elite yesterday. Was an impulse buy because it was so cheap.
Id like some suggestions to a handful of games that i should try. Try to not to think about the new releases but some that may be had at a discount based on their age. No driving/car games and i perfer FPS/action/adventure games i think. The only older console games ive really liked was splinter cell for xbox and some star wars game for the old playstation. Halo was ok too. I also have ghost recon 2 i think for the old xbox but found it dull and repetitive.
What is important to me?
1. open maps and not very linear gaming.
2. online fun is a nice bonus
3. it should have an interesting story and good singleplayer part
Dont care that much about
age of the game
graphics
Just throw your tips out there and ill look em up.
-
wolfenstein?
-
found it in the cheap bin. 5£ aint much even if it sucks. Ordered it Homes. Thx :)
Anyone know if the call of duty modern warfare is good enough to be worth 20£ now that MW2 is out?

Join Barbie on an action-packed, 3-D, horse-riding adventure. Ride through five stunning areas, jump over fallen trees, cross rickety bridges, and avoid other potential hazards throughout their quest. Guide Barbie and her horse over thin cliff edges and logs in rivers, leading Barbie to dismount her horse and explore the trails on foot. You can even help Barbie climb ledges and swing hand over hand along low branches.
Sounds perfect!

If you like story and fun multiplayer maps, go with Halo ODST, or any other Halo's. All have great stories and are always fun multiplayer.
-
ive been looking at ODTS actually. Ill pick it up :)
-
Gears of war, bioshock, left for dead, and assassins creed are good games you can pick up cheap.

Seconding Bioshock -- one of the best games you can play for it's storyline, immersive atmosphere, and gameplay. It's single player though.

Fallout 3.
-
FO3 is good.
-
Thx.. fallout and bioshock has made the list :)
-
Megaman 9. 'Nuff said.
-
Apparently Halo (any of them tbh) and Mass Effect are quite good games.
-
Stay away from TUROK it will make you pull your hair out. I am going to be taking my copy and either running it through the shredder or set it up as a target and shoot it.
Fable and Fable2 are great buys, they both have excellent stories.
-
Elder Scrolls Oblivion
-
PS3 better

Elder Scrolls Oblivion

I've never heard of this game, what console is it for? I know Wii Pwn U is for the Wii; is PS3 Better for the Wii as well?
-
Idolmaster
-
Ludo.
:aok

Bioshock just weirded me out...never got more than twenty minutes into it. Came with a huge bundle on Steam.
-
call of duty 4 (1 & 2)
call of duty world at war
left 4 dead
-
Ace Combat 6 looks pretty cool,never played it, but read a bunch about it as I brooded over my PS2 :(

Semi-decent plotline (nowhere near as good as 4, 5, or even 0) with EXTREMELY annoying cutscenes, but very good gameplay. Also the only online-capable Ace Combat.
-

lol i dont care :cheers:
Ordered 5 of the games you guys suggested yesterday. They should get here tomorrow. Hopefully ill get the time to try them all before xmas :)
Woops i prolly should have gotten that xbox gold thingy too. Do I just get a code for gold when I order it online, or do I get a thing in the mail with the code?

If you've ever seen one hanging in the store, you get one of those ("carton" and all) shipped to you. It's a gift card that you peel the back off of to reveal an activation code.

rgr yup ive seen them :)
I bet microsoft (beeing poor and all) could save their wallet and the enviroment abit if they could just send you a code on email if you ordered online.

The Halo FPS's all have compelling stories (though they are somewhat sci-fi formulaic if you know what to look for). Gameplay is great too.
Too bad it's :joystick: not mouse.

Not better than the AC3 storyline :). I wish the US version story wasn't fudged though, I had to read it online as I played :rofl

Then you know why I can't count that one.
-
good/scary game, and hard is Shellshock: Bloodtrails.
Scariest game I've ever played so far. Vietnamese zombies man!!
-
I dont know if 360 has this but regular xbox does and it will BLOW your freaking mind!
Elder Scrolls Morrowind....Oblivion is for the 360 but MORROWIND is best game I have ever played buy it! It's only 14.99!!!!!!!!!
-
Ace Combat 6 is an excellent single-player game. I highly recommend it :aok
-
I dont know how much it is now but Lost Planet was a pretty good game i think.
-
i like the brothers in arms series. Hell's Highway was the best IMO :joystick:
-
GTA IV
Forza Motorsport 3 (buy the wireless steering wheel and pedals, they cost only 66€ for a very good quality)
-
Thx, but no car games ;)
-

Oblivion is an AMAZING game, i had it on the 360. I am not usually into those kinda games, but Oblivion is superb.
-
I'm going to go ahead and say that the Call of Duty series is the best FPS series I've ever played.
Call of duty 4 and Modern warfare 2 are by far the most addicting games I've ever played. Online is an absolute blast and will keep you constantly on the edge of your chair/sanity.
Cod:Waw is alright, but it's just a WW2 version of Cod4.
If you have the money, go for modern warfare 2, but it may be a bit to expansive for you if you've never played cod4, seeing as it has at least 4x the amount of content that cod4 had. I'm sure you'll catch on though.
If your short on cash, Cod4 will suit you just fine ;)
The storyline's for both Cod4 and Modern Warfare 2 are movie-worthy.
And to prove to some people that I'm not a cod fanboy, I find that Halo 3 is an awesome game too, but the online play is a tad repetitive, and is very easy.
-
Not short of cash, im just trying to get alot of different games for little money as i dont have the time to play alot :) Ill prolly get modern warfare 2 when its abit older and in the cheap pile if ive finished with the games ive ordered.
Is modern warfare 1 or whatever its called good too? Its real cheap but i did read somewere that it was bugged (maybe just the pc version)
I got a pack today of the games i have ordered. Not had the time to try any of them yet though
halo ODST
wolfstein
bioshock
fallout 3
red alert 3
Barbie horse adventures didnt make the cut :confused:
-
Good luck waiting until modern warfare 2 gets cheaper. Call of duty 4 (Or, in your case, modern warfare 1) has just recently lowered it's price after 2(?) years of being on the market.
And yes, Modern Warfare 1/Call of duty 4 is a great game.
If you are playing it just for the single player, I'd say it would be an awesome rental. If you have xbox live though, buy Call of duty 4 (modern warfare 1)
You will NOT regret it.
-
Excellent ill order it. Its just below 20$ here. Ive ordered the gold card too, but it hasnt arrived yet.
-
If you dont order elder scrolls morrowind or oblivion I will find you and smack you....seriously missing out buy it
-
its noted :)
-
;)
-
seriously Oblivion is better then Morrowind, same company put them out, but Oblivion is much more realistic as far as graphics goes.
-
From what I hear, Oblivion is too straight forward.
In Morrowind, it keeps you wondering on what you had to do, and it didn't hold your hand through the entire game. Also, the PC version is easy to mod and has mods being created for it every day, to this day.
I haven't played morrowind though, so I can't attest to anything.

The graphics for me are just way to sweet in Obliv, and I run around 60 mods,I have made my own.
Deadly reflex, is sick(the best mod ever for Oblivion), decapitation, cutting bodies in half :aok
you can change the entire game with the mods.
-
Thx, but no car games ;)
I was thinking like you until I tried Forza Motorsport 3. Gamespots review begins like that "Do you like cars? If so, Forza Motorsport 3 is the game for you. In fact, provided you don't hate cars, Forza Motorsport 3 is the game for you." http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/driving/forzamotorsport3/review.html (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/driving/forzamotorsport3/review.html)
The immersion behind the wheel is awesome.
GTA IV is not exactly a driving game btw. It got the only 10/10 review at gamespot. You really really really should check it if you liked movies like Heat...
-
I dont like cars or car games :D Dont watch movies or racing sports either. I rather take public transportation than my Benz for a ride if I dont need to haul stuff or people :D
Im :banana:
-
Dude our missing out MW2 OWNS!!! I just got my full bird COL :D :salute
-
Finally gotten around to setting the xbox up. Been rather busy but now i have a few days.
I installed Fallout 3 yesterday and cant seem to put it down. So much to explore!!! :D
Havent followed the storyline much, only been exploring and doing a couple of the smaller missions but this is addictive for sure :uhoh
-
Dude assassins creed 2 has one of the best story lines I have ever seen in a video game. It is worth every penny. Open maps and a lot of side missions. 10 out of 10
-
Yeah maybe but its a new game. Id rather wait a year or so and get it cheap. Im new to this xbox thing so even old games are new to me so why shell out more than i need? Ill get to it eventually.... maybe
thx for the tip anyway :)
-
The kids wanted the Xbox 360 for Christmas...who am I to argue? ;)
We got the Modern Warfare version of the Xbox..as it was so cheap too..lol Gonna check out some of these games too, because I suspect there will be alot of x boxing going on during the holidays.
-
I played L4D2 for the first time last week and I loved it. You don't need to play the first one, to understand the second one.
-

I just right clicked and checked the properties on my Morrowind Mod folder.
15.8 gigs
94,355 files
3,031 folder.
When I play Oblivion it is @ twice that.
(just did another run through of Morrowind a few weeks back trying all the new mods out for it. It is a whole diff game now especially with the Morrowind Graphics Extender. Not quite as "pretty" as Oblivion, but durn close)
-
Asteroids :D
-
Asteroids :D
I play that on my Atari 800. Nothing like 35" of 8-bit goodness.
-
I saw in the online news that nearly 1 million xbox live machines were banned because of mods.
-
Battlefield 1943. They finally gave the engineer some much deserved lovin'.
Battlefield: Bad Company. Played it, got pwned, loved every second of it.
Megaman 9. No explanation needed. If still unconvinced, see this informational poster. (http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo280/Enker_photo/Sega1991.jpg)

i was thrashing around morrowind the other day, then Oblivion, lol they are both dated, I am getting Dragon's age very soon. :D
-
Megaman 9. 'Nuff said.
Yes. :rock
-
one that i havent seen is one called red faction: gurella
you can look it up if you want
its basicly gta- style gameplay (but litrally on mars) with fallout 3- style weapons exeps you can reduceabsulutely everything with bombs, rockets, or a very powerful sledghammer :x
:banana: :t
-
For 360, first you need an XFPS Sniper 3. It's a keyboard-mouse adapter. It makes shooters worth playing.
Then get L4D2, COD:MW2, Trial HD, and Forza 3. Should keep them busy for a month or two.

Dragon Age was not bad.
I loved it for the first play through as a warrior type.
Liked it on my 2nd play through as a rouge. (it was getting a bit too repetative)
WAS gonna do a 3rd play through as a mage but lost interest.
