New XBOX 360 Owner - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Duane · 03-16-2008

I finally broke down and got an XBOX 360. Just picked up Tiger Woods and Mass Effect at the game store.

Does anyone have reccomendations on games? I generally play stuff that doesn't give me motion sickness so FPS are mostly a no go.

My gamer tag is LittleBigHurt (same as my AOL screen name) if anyone wants to add me to their friends list.

Assassin's Creed was good. Basically it's Splinter Cell in the Middle Ages.

Congrats and welcome to the Red Ring Club! I'm on my third one but at least it didn't cost me anything-just an annoyance.

some good games are Fight Night Round 3 (excelent boxing game), Forza Motorsport 2 (only fm3 will be able to unseat this game from my personal fav) i'd agree with Assassins creed is a very good game

You have to get Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It's a great game.

Depends on what kind of games you like.

I for one thought Assassin's Creed was incredibly repetitive and boring. It was pretty though.

You might try Devil May Cry 4 if you didn't already play it if you have a PS3. It's a good 15-20 hrs. and pretty fun.
I'd say give Gears of War a shot, since it's not really a FPS (which I hate) but it's probably still a bit too much motion.

If you like RPGs then Lost Odyssey is good, at least what I've played so far (2 of 4 discs). Eternal Sonata also got good reviews though after 10 hrs I have found it to be pretty slow going. I still haven't played Blue Dragon.

Of course there is Rock Band as well.

Honestly, I stick to renting 95% of the time these days. There's just aren't many games that I would play anymore once I've finished them. There just isn't that long term value. And there's just way way too many FPS.

Good choice on picking up Mass Effect. One of the best games I've played in a long time.

You should also check out Oblivion.

If you like music, and who doesn't??, you'll play this game for hours and hours. I've had it for 3-4 months, and I never tire of playing... except for when I literally feel like my leg is going to fall off with all the double bass hits.

Yeah, if you're not an FPS fan, you're going to have a harder time finding games you like... at least you won't waste as much money on games as the rest of us.

But as far as FPS go, COD4 is the gold standard.

Or you could get used to having half as many games, of lower quality, and shoddy online service.

Damn, before you said you get motion sickness I was going to say get BioShock and The Orange Box. Those two along with COD4 and Mass Effect were the best 360 games of 07.

If you like 3rd person games you should check out Army Of Two. I'm really enjoying it so far...Also buying Rez HD on XBLA is a must!

Are you mad that he didn't make a thread titled "New PS3 Owner"? Sony fanboys always make me laugh. They always bring up the RROD for no reason whatsoever and think they're dropping knowledge on people. Oh my God, you mean to tell me 360's red ring?! I can not live in a world that has consoles that become possessed and start shining 3 red lights...thanks for the heads up!

Or maybe you work for Sony? If so, when are you guys going to release Home? I've been waiting for that every Thursday when they update the PSN store.

I think my username is Rack3522 or maybe Rack 3522 (space between K and 3).

I'm the same way with FPS games. Most of them really make me nauceous. If you're into computer games though, try planetside. It's an awesome MMO FPS but it never gets me sick. Been playing a lot of that lately and it kicks arse.
