Halo 3 for sure
Try to pick up Geometry wars, which is an xbox arcade game. Other than that, this is what I suggest.
-Gears of War
-Rainbow Six: Vegas
-Call of duty games
-Orange Box
-TES: Oblivion
-Condemned: Criminal Origins
-Eternal Sonata
-Perfect Dark Zero
-Bioshock
-F.E.A.R.
You did not mention your tastes and if you were a big PC gamer or not, so I just gave you a short list of what I recommend off the top of my head. There are a lot of missing I am sure, but whatever.
-
Bioshock
Gears of War
Rainbow Six Vegas
Viva Pinata (really, awesome game)
Dead Rising
Project Gotham Racing 4
Oblivion
Condemned
Orange Box
There are a ton more that I like, but remember these are only my suggestions, so research the games before buying them.
For Xbox Live Arcade:
Puzzle Quest
Geometry Wars
MARBLE BLAST ULTRA (BEST GAME EVER GET IT NOW)
Doom
EDIT: Perfect Dark Zero kind of sucks (single player campaign is pretty lame) and it just isn't up to par with other FPSs.
-
Thanks for tell me what the hard drive does! I've been trying to figure it out for YEARS!

Ok Yeah well im not big on FPS games but some are alright CoD games are fantastic, so i might pick up CoD3
Im Sick of Oblivion (playing for PC)
I might look into Bioshock
FEAR scares me so i'll get that, #2 if there is one.
Assassins creed is most likly to be purchased aswell.
I want a red or Babyblue faceplate already :P
-
Sorry, Wouldnt let me edit my post :/
anyway I think i'll be getting Phantasy Star Universe as it looks secks!
to elaborate more, I like RPGs, Strategies, Action, Adventure, Beat em ups, racers amongst other things.
-
CoD3 is shit! Seriously, don't get it unless you plan on playing multiplayer. The singleplayer is awful (and I LOVED both CoD1 and 2). So yeah, this comes from a CoD fan. The 3rd one has awful singleplayer and decent multiplayer (a watered down BF42 kinda, just more CoD'ish).
-
I suggest NOT getting NFS: Carbon... I got it and it sucks. if you MUST get a NFS game though I go for Most Wanted (since it's older its probably cheaper) or even just wait for the next NFS to come out. I'll elaborate a tiny bit: The "team" based racing in Carbon just doesn't work well, it is actually kind of annoying, and the police chases in Most Wanted is pretty fun. The ones in carbon feel some what dull.
Anyway, I have not tried it yet, but I heard PGR4 is pretty awesome.
and Bioshock if you want a good single player FPS experience.
Rainbow Six: Vegas is a excellent choice for a Tactical FPS, I mean I don't even like many tactical FPS's but this one just kicks utter ass. (I personally think its more fun then Gears of War) The single player can be on the short side if you choose 'normal' as the difficulty for your first run., So I recommend realistic, it will lengthen you're experience if you decide to play that on you're first run.
I second the DO NOT BUY PDZ. It felt exceptionally generic and dull in the single player. although the multiplayer was still generic, it wasn't as dull.
if you're going to get any CoD wait for 4.
If you've never played nor owned Worms for PC (Like I haven't) then I Recommend Worms the Arcade game.
If you like multiplayer platforming shooters I recommend Small Arms, just don't expect to find anyone online playing it, stick to 4 player, 4 controllers offline.
The only reason I'm not recommending the orange box is because I myself have yet to play Portal and TF2, and I really think those game would probably be wiser bought for PC. In fact I don't plan on buying the Orange box at all, I'm going to buy the valve complete pack through steam once I get the cash. (Hopefully soon, but unlikely to be soon.)
Oh and I urge you to reconsider Halo 3. I did not personally like Halo 2 all that much. but 3 seems to reclaim some of the awesomeness that the original had. If you liked the original, and like multiplayer it is worth the $60.
-
If you want a really fun music game, get Guitar Hero II. Or you can wait about 3 days to get Guitar Hero 3 which is coming out Sunday.
GH2 is a really great game, and I'm sure GH3 will be even better.

Getting GH2 with the bundle.
I might Even dash cash and get rock band (as my buddy has GH3 ordered and ill bum it off him later on.)
I played and liked NFS:Carbon and well the new one "pro-street" looks lack luster.
I played GoW and Graw for a short period of time and didnt like either.

Or get Boom Boom ROcket. It costs about quarter the price of GH and you can probably play it with the guitar. Better music too.

Halo 3 for sure

Wow - does 360 have a game that's not a FPS? (where Oblivion is a first person slicer (yeah, I'm really reaching, but I don't like the FP perspective)).
I, too, am considering a 360 for games like Mass Effect and Blue Dragon. So, other than FPS, what games are there/are coming out? Is Amped 3 any good? What about C&C 3?
-
two games you just listed aren't fps
-
The 360 is an FPS machine. If you don't like FPSs, don't get a 360.
-
Or get a 360 for every other game that isn't a fps
you know, like mass effect, ninja gaiden 2, table tennis, crackdown, gta4, guitar hero 3, assassin's creed and lots of other shit.
oh and about 90% of the games on xbla are really fucking good.

See, this is what I was wondering. I'd like to know what games you guys enjoy playing/look forward to playing on the 360, beyond the FPS genre.
Thanks Raziel.
-
oh and about 90% of the games on xbla are really fucking good.
More like 5%
That's still a lot though.
-
oh well if you are looking for a list then:
Beautiful Katamari (better than Me & My Katamari and Katamari Damacy, but not as good as We <3 Katamari)
Ninja Gaiden 2
Mass Effect
Table Tennis
Assassin's Creed
Devil May Cry 4
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Puzzle Quest
Blue Dragon
Enchanted Arms (yeah it's kinda ridiculous at first but beyond its stupidity is a really really fun to play RPG)
Eternal Sonata
Ace Combat 6
Marvel Ultimated Alliance: Gold Edition (only version to have the 8 extra heroes)
Too Human
Alone in the Dark 5
Infinite Undiscovery
and yeah I could go on and on and I know not all of those are just for 360 but it's STILL AVAILABLE for it so it's not like it's not a valid point.
so yeah, the 360 is not just fps and brutal action games and shit.

A lot of those games aren't even out. They could turn out to be complete shit fests for all you know. I know Assassin's Creed will be shit. I just know it.
And Marvel Ultimate Alliance IS a shit fest.
-
Marvel Ultimate Alliance looks awesome. I will have to check that game out.
-
Grindie if your here to shit down on the 360 and games that arnt FPS, then GO TO FUCK!
anyway yeah I think Marvel Ultimate Alliance comes with the bundle i got to cause it was the holiday bundle , on sale.
-
why gh2 if gh3 comes out tomorrow huh????
-

-

-

Waste of money. GH3 is 10 bucks more than GH2... and GH3 has online.
-
IT COMES FREE. Can no-one bloody read that GH2 COMES FREE WITH THE PACKAGE?
EDIT: Mainly directed at theHunter and everyone saying GET GH3 INSTEAD OF GH2 MAN
-
Ok, nvm then.
-
Grindie if your here to shit down on the 360 and games that arnt FPS, then GO TO FUCK!
Do you have a map to show me where "FUCK" is?
Anyway, I'm not here to "shit down" on the 360. I have one and I fucking love it. Just got Virtua Fighter 5 a few days ago. Excellent game, but the 360's dpad is a cunt.
-
My 360 just had the ring of >FUCKING< RED[/b]!!!! T_T
just when I got orange box..
-
oblivion, skate, and beautiful katamari ftw. borderlands for the future!
-

Thanks for contributing to the topic!
Anyway if you aren't looking for FPSes a few games to get/look out for:
Devil May Cry 4
Assassin's Creed
Virtua Fighter 5
Mass Effect
Oblivion (unless you have it for PC)
skate
Splinter Cell: Double Agent (or Conviction but thats not out yet)
I would err against getting an RTS for a console, generally it is much better on the computer with a fullsize keyboard (unless it has like usb keyboard support or something)
-
Thanks for contributing to the topic!
did... did you seriously warn him for that
seriously?
i mean get gears of war and play co-op that's seriously the most fun ever
-
Thanks for contributing to the topic!
Thanks for the warn.. :hmm:
This person is getting 360, it's good to know how reliable these things are.
It even looks like my warrant isn't all ok, maybe I'll have to buy a new one.
Even so, you should definately get 360.
-

Sorry couldn't hear your suggestion over HOW DUMB YOU ARE!
I Dont like FPSs aside from CoD games, and i stated it a few times so what do you think my answer (once again) is going to be towards gears.....

Definantly the Orange Box,
Team Fortress 2! all the way (half life and portal too... but, I beat portal already)
-
I heard Cameo: Elements of Power was decent.
-
Sooo Gears of War isn't an FPS so you should get it!
I'll recommend only one or two games, because if I make a giant fucking list of everything I like on the console it's not like you'll actually take each one into consideration. My personal favorites:
- Blue Dragon: It's a lot better than people say it is. I think most of the target market still swears by their PS2s, so it gets a lot of internet flak. Pretty good and if you like jRPGs (most of GW does??) I recommend it. It's actually pretty fun with the difficulty patch. My girlfriend likes it too, but she has terrible taste in videogames.
- Gears of War: Because it isn't an FPS and is just incredibly, ridiculously good. Since you're so set against it I doubt you'll ever try it, and if you did, you'd convince yourself that you hate it. But, it's probably the best game on 360.
Lots of awesome games are coming out soon, so you have all those to choose from as well.

Sorry I couldn't read this post because I kept thinking about HOW DUMB YOU ARE! (Gears isn't an FPS which has been said like 1000 times in this topic)
Thanks for the warn.. :hmm:

Umm maybe if you I dunno explained what that is instead of "HEY I GOT THIS SHIT" it would be more helpful. For all he knows it might mean that he won a million dollars! Also why would you have to buy a new one the warranty is like 3 years long now.
-

I played GoW and Graw for a short period of time and didnt like either.
See as I have Already Stated, played GoW/Gears and DO NOT WANT (its a buh game)
-
The shooter console does have some good games coming up... like Mass Effect.
-
Taking a look at it it does seem good, i loved Kotor and Kotor II
-

'guess you're right.. :confused:
Anyways, games to get;
Dead Rising - This is the game I got 360 for. Zombie hack-n-slash heaven. Graphics are very impressive too, at least backgrounds are..
Halo 3 - The best console-online-shooter in my opinion. Should get even if you don't like FPS's..
-
Not only do i not like FPS (well FutureFPS moreso) i also dislike the halo franchise aswell.
-
Stranglehold
Ace Combat
The Darkness
