Havn't had a 360 since The Orange Box, but saw a Elite going cheap & just couldn't resist :) I'm thinking of getting Metro 2033 & Splinter Cell: Conviction, but would like some xbot *cough* opinions of other little 360 exclusive gems?
Not really interested in the multiplayer side of things, i got psn for that... Well I did ;-)
Well there's Gears of War 1 & 2, Halo: 3, Wars, ODST & Reach, Crackdown 1 & 2, Fable 2 & 3, Mass Effect 1, Saints Row 1, Forza motorsport 2 & 3, Dead Rising 1 & lastly Alan Wake- They're all the decent games that I've played, can't think of much else.
Although the 360 has more exclusives than the PS3, IMO most of them aren't even noteworthy & 1/3rd of those that are, are also available to PC users.
thrillville and lips are 2 my kid enjoyed.
COD 2 is a must if you like fps.
I played it on highest diff to get the 1k and man it was tough.
Anyway enjoy it as unlike CJ I enjoy both equally and tend to look on there positives rather than the other way round.
COD 2 was a nightmare on the highest difficulty, i gave up on "The silo" as i beleive i may have punched a whole in the wall :D.
Also don't forget to check out some of the arcade games, there is good stuff there if you look hard enough.
Because the 360 is backwards compatible using a HDD, there are several Xbox classics you could check out on XBL or you could drive down to your local retro retailer & see what original xbox games they have available but before that, I believe that some aren't supported so you should find a list of what isn't.
@CJ
not so I have quite a library of Xbox games and half of them are unplayable. Long delays, black screens, just broken games. You are better off just getting your Xbox and hooking up to play those games and I have done so. The only original xbox games that have worked for me are the first party on the 360.
As someone above mentioned, Forza 3 and Fable 2. In fact the only reason I keep my xbox is for the occasional 360 exclusive, racing games, and sports games. Pretty much everything else is better on a PC - especially FPS games and RPGs.
There are a whole load of XBLA games to have a look at too, so don't forget those.
i bought 360 after having only ps3 for a while. gears of war games are good. halo reach is ok, but it feels like a "last gen" game with "next gen" graphics, not a must have in other words. i hated alan wake. also played mass effect 1, if u like mass effect then get it. the game mechanics are awfull, but the story is amazing. and if u pre-order gears 3 u get the beta for free, looks pretty good. but 360 is lacking these days in quality games if ure not into kinect that is.
hey, you should try Lost Odyssey and ninja blade they are not that great
but you will have some fun playing it.
I do recommend banjo nuts and bolts, tales of vesperia, blue dragon, kameo and prey, these games are not mentioned or recommend it much by gamers, but are really good and quite cheap.
Well i did own a 360 for 3 years, so I've played all the early stuff. I'm not interested in the 360 JRPG's, though I hear good things about Tales, that could tempt me. Anyone play Torchlight? That's on Live right?
@Orbit
Torchlight is a good game for what is but have you ever played Diablo with multiplayer. It gets boring really fast.
@OrbitMonkey, Oh torchlight and plant vs zombies are my favorite games on the arcade front on the 360, but i think torchlight win by a small hair, i never played the diablo games before, but if this game it shares a lot with the before mentioned franchise, i will be picking diablo 3 and torchlight 2 also in a heartbeat, and yes tales is that great and lost oddisey is also great the best JRPGS on the 360 and problably of this gen, of course eternal sonata will have a word about it
@Cj (first post) pretty much every single game you listed their were really good at least in there own way.
Gears of War is a great franchise for co-op and single, Halo, well many people obviously enjoy the multi (and I've had some great fun with co-op there too), Crackdown 1 was a really good game particualy as when it came out in the early days there was nothing about, Fable... well there the same as the first one but that was good, Mass Effect is one of the best games in history (no fanboy-ness here), Saints Row was really fun despite its little *cough*slip-ups, Forza motorsport is a great franchise (wish I could say if I like it more that Turismo but Iv'e never played it (Turismo, never played Turismo to avoid confusion)), Dead Rising was awesome particualy as when it came out in the early days there was nothing about & lastly I found Alan wake really good, the combat did get a bit tedious but the overall game is at least noteworthy. All of these games are noteworthy and the ones that are on PC are for windows which makes sense.
If you were to buy any of these games you could have fun.
But for OrbitMonkey I would surrgest Mass effect, Gears of War, Crackdown, Dead rising and maybe Alan Wake... So all of they really.
For me its all about xblArcade. And a handfull of Indie games. Big box retail games are all gonna be pretty much the same experiences as one another. Slightly different spices and flavor, but its the same dish beit served on PS3 or XB360.
But more then a few amazing acrade games out there. And with Live, you get to try/demo each and every one before forking out cash to buy it.
@Orb, if you wanna see what Torchlight is like just play the trial, i did and quite liked it though i haven't got around to buying it yet.
as the kids say "epic fail"
^ Generally "the kids" will tell you what they consider to be a "epic fail". For example, "posting random criticism, aimed at no-one, with no context, like a drunk bum shouting in the street, is a epic fail".
@cheekyassmonkey
it was aimed at the title of the post, wasn't aimed at anyone, no need to argue and shout like "kids". What you said is true, but this is the internet and I can do what I like. If I shouted epic fail at everyone down a street i'd probably get punched in the face.
Also another reason for why it is an "epic fail" is because this person is just gonna be another person who get sucked into the world of "xbox live", I don't even think its the games, i think the game could be shit and people would still play, its the fact that people on xbox half time can't even put there BO's down to even go outside or have shower. My friend is so addicted and I feel sorry for him. His gf blames me, I don't even play xbox because I know i'd get hooked, just like i was with steam a few years back with css/l4d/mw2, online mp is crack cocain to stupid people. I'll stick to casually playing mp and enjoying portal 2.
Good night much love
Lounds
^ My friend, THAT is a whole lot of assumption. And when you make a assumption, your only making a ASS out of U and mption ;-)
P.s. I promise to shower xb
SC: Conviction is a fantastic game. I know you said that you're not fussed about the MP but that game's brilliance is extended through the MP. It must be available split screen though (correct me if I'm wrong) so you could probably still avoid XBL and get the most out of it.
I think FORZA 3 is worth checking out too. I preferred that over GT5. If you don't have Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 or tried 1 then that too is really worth picking up but be warned, ME1 can be a bit rubbish at the start until the story kicks in.
I haven't played Alan Wake myself but a friend has recommended it and said it is worth playing. I'm a fan of all Fable games but I know that series can be an acquired taste.
Not sure if you are in the UK or not but I was in GAME on Saturday and it's always worth having a look through the pre-owned shelves, I know you can get Crackdown 1 and 2 pretty cheap as well as a few others. Obviously that will be based on a store to store basis.
OrbitMonkey = xbot
^ More assumptions? Really? Tsk Tsk :)
^Pedantic^ cough cough
^ yep :)
I'd HIGHLY recomend the following:
XBLA
-Shadow Complex (think Super Metroid and Castlevania:SOTN)
-Trials HD (think excite bike with fantastic graphics and physics)
-Limbo (artsy creative indy platform/puzzler)
-Perfect Dark HD (speaks for itself)
Disc based
-Gears of War series (best exclusive on the system imo, yes better than Halo)
-Halo Reach (ODST is poor, Reach is impressive even though it is looking outdated)
-Alan Wake (great game, very atmospheric)
-Splinter Cell: Conviction (worth playing through, didn't blow me away though)
-Crysis 2 (good game, best console version imo)
shadow complex is amazing
gears of war series is amazing
ODST is ok
reach amazing online but campaign is shite
braid is good
castlevania and bayonetta are both amazing
alan wake is poop da shoop
super meat boy is awesome
fallout 3 and vegas ARE A MUST!
mass effect 1 is awesome gameplay is a little bit shit
mass effect 2 is the sex
fable 2 is ok
and if you every want any free arcade games just ask ;)
and if you want the beta for gears of war 3 just ask
welcome back to real gaming,HALOZ,GEARS wooohoooooo
derp
