Recommended Games For Xbox 360

[Forged]

Hi

just got a XBOX 360 as a gift and need recommendations on what games to get?

Ive always had playstations since they first come out (will be getting a PS3 soon after I get bored with the 360), mainly played car racing games (GT1,2,3 &4) and little bit of shooting and sports.

so something with good graphics, not too complicated but fun, and also multi player capable so you can play with mates.

cheers

Gears of War is fun...

ive got saints row and Tony Hawks P8 but havent played either yet... but apparently Saints Row is alot of fun too...

P.S. does anyone have Dead Rising that they dont want anymore and would sell/trade?

haaaha dead rising was discontinued after a very short production run so i doubt anyone would part with their copy for a good price.

GRAW 1 & 2

NBA 2K7

PGR3

GOW

Rainbow six vegas

Yeah, one more vote for Gears of War and NBA 2K7. If you own NBA 2K7, you won't think of any other games for 3 months.

call of duty with surround sound.

WHY NO MORE DEAD RISING?!?!?!!

saints row is actually pretty good

have been playing it heaps lately

dead rising was discontinued about november last year for no apparent reason. You can still get it if you find it, but there are no official copies coming into australia anymore.

Also saints row is going classic soon so it will be 49.95.

+1 for Gears of War, it has offline 2 player splitscreen co-op in campain mode and is still awesome.

GRAW 1 & 2 are also both pretty good, they both have lots of multiplayer options and support offline 4 player splitscreen. I'd say that I liked GRAW 2 more than 1 in regards to multiplayer, because it has more maps. GRAW 1 had a few good ones, but some were really small and over pretty quickly. GRAW 2 looks better too.

Rainbow Six: Vegas has a good co-op mode as well for 2 people (can be offline) and is pretty good.

^^ agreed. GoW is the only Co-Op game ive played that has kept me entertained the whole time.

hey dude, ill throw up another vote for gears of war. its a fairly good representation of what the 360 can do at the moment and is good cause you can co-op with your mates

forget nba 07 unless your into sport games btw

graw (i havent played graw2 online yet) is a good game regarding graphics but you may find that the mulitplayer is less enjoyable than a game such as COD2.

i know COD2 was a launch game but even though the graphics were of a lower standard the gameplay (or playability if you will) was a lot better than graw

feel free to add me as well my gamertag is ' spinpsycle '

cheers

Thanks guys, looks like Gears of War is a must.

How does everyone rate Project Gothem Racing 3? Would like a good racing game too.

Cheers

PGR3 seems pretty average man...

[MacGuyver]

I was a big fan of PGR2 and have played a little bit of PGR3, I think it's pretty good but is a little bit easier; finishing arcade mode in PGR2 with all gold medals was insanely hard! You can pick PGR3 up very cheaply now if you look around, it also comes packaged with the official 360 steering wheel (which is awesome). But there's no 4 player offline splitscreen!

get Test Drive Unlimited... awesome game... they mapped the main island of Hawaii, google earth style and you can drive every inch of it... its all in correct proportion too... insane

that being said my 360 has shat itself after only 12 months... tis super ghey... going to chip it now and never pay for games again

Halo 3 comes out in september

[cochee_15]

Call of Duty 3 is hell fun to play online, and surround sound makes it so much better

[izataskyrine?]

Gears of war is a must buy especially if you gonna play online.

forza 2 comes out 14 of june. I didnt like the first 1 but they have reallly, really spent some serious time into the realisticness of this one and i think it should be a gem of a racing game.

I like nfs games. both carbon and most wanted are both heaps of fun on it.

Call of duty 3 is kick ass as.. as everyones saying get a 5.1 sound system and prepare for audial bliss.

PGR3 is quite fun and its damned hard to get all platinum medals too.. specially on the cone challenges (which my mate seems to think he should be so good at even though he doesnt play video games)
