Ok, my girlfriend just bought me an XBox 360 for Christmas and now I have to decide what games to get for it. I know 1 I'm going to get is Madden (I'm a huge Madden fan on any system besides the Wii). What are some of the other best games dating back to the release of the 360.

Rofl...I don't think I can be upset with her for spending that much on a gift for me :D I honestly think I will like the 360 the best anyway. I probably will stay away from FPS because I just can't do dual analog anymore after using the WiiMote. I also need to get Xbox live too. Just remembered it isn't free.

Umm if you like music games you could just get Guitar hero World Tour and Rock Band 2. Online isn't too much just like 60 bucks a year but you can just use the card. Shooters is like the main thing for the system lol but yeah I had a really hard time at first when I was playing gears of war 2 but now I'm really kick ass same as splaya. You could probably also get fable 2, it's not that bad (it's actually really fun). And is your 360 and arcade, pro, or an elite. IF it's and elite than you are golden. I'm sort of an xbox noob right now though lol. I only have like 6 games for it.

It's an Xbox pro. I'm actually not a music person, but I have still thought about getting Guitar Hero. And yeah, I know that shooters are kind of the main thing, but I really despise dual analog now. I might just get all sports games and stick to CoD for my Wii. At least for now.

lol Banjo Kazooie was the shit. I downloaded the old N64 one. Didn't really get too far though lol. Oh and expect the ghwt drums to break or be nonsensitive for some time. My red pad broke so now I have to use the rb2 drum kit. The thing is, people think that I'm a pussy using that drum kit but if I want to play expert than I have to use it. Trust me playing scream aim fire on expert drums with a broken red pad is a bitch.

umm Xbox box games eh?
Bioshock (FPS but still great)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Fight Night Round 3 (Another Sport Game thats actually real fun)
Mass Effect
those are out now. and coming up you might want to look into:
Resident Evil 5 (sure its a shooter, but how can you not want it! o.o )
Assassin's Creed 2
Red Faction: Guerilla
Halo Wars (NOT A SHOOTER. repeat NOT. its gonna be a Real Time Stratergy game, much like Battalion Wars, i'd assume)
yeah. might wanna check some of those out. for a rental at least.

Ooh, the Elder Scrolls! I played one of the previous ones for Xbox with my friend a long time ago and absolutely loved that game. I'm definitely going to look into that one. Thanks ;)

I think I'm going to go buy Elder Scrolls after Christmas (I usually end up with a few gift cards, and since it is pretty cheap it will cover most of it).
And this might be kind of lame, but I've actually found Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones (the games it came with) to be kind of fun. Very shallow, but still fun none the less.

might want to look into that new Prince of Persia game for the 360. if you like that genre anyways. i personally love PoP, so that would be a must buy for me.

1. GH is good, but Rock Band is better because of the gameplay (in my opinion, the guitar and rectangles on the gamenotes are easier to see and use)
2. Fable2 is a good, short RPG, but if u want a long insane RPG, get Fallout 3
3. An awsome Platform RPG is Too Human (it's based off of norse mythology)
4. if ur gonna buy xbox live, buy it for the whole year, u get a free month and in the long run, it's cheaper
5. Assassin's Creed IS the best game of it's year, AC2 will be ridiculous
and finaly: 6. get netflix :D

There are problems there:
okay, between RB and GH, its opinion
next, unless you suck, fallout 3 is damn short, and you cant continue after the end w/o dlc, but its still 200x better than Gayble
Too Human sucks... 'nuff said
Assassins Creed was NOT the best game of 07/08, as games like Fallout 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 2, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, Grand Theft Auto IV, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Unreal Tournament III could easily take the 07/08 GOTY titles before Assasins Creed

nope srry man, ur entire rant just got denied by my brain the moment u said Brawl was in the running for GOTY...yes it was nominated, but it's thnx to nintendo's own ridiculousness that no nintendo game will be GOTY....the whole friend codes thing is what kills em.....
also, bethesda made the main storyline medium length on purpose so that, if all u wanted to do was the main story, the game would be short, but if u do everything in the game and every seret, no matter how good u are or how fast u go, it will take u more than 40 hours to complete everything.....unlike Fable which took me 10 hours to complete everything, including all their dlc.....
also, AC was GOTY coz of it's massive size (no constant load screens) and the beauty of it's revolutionary gameplay....and AC2 will be no different

italic- you're kidding right? jesus, that was a one sided opinion. the fc system isnt extrremely problematic, it just takes gettting used to.
underline- there are still much longer RPGs, and I beat Fallout 3, and finished every single sidequest. you name it, ive beaten it, so don't bullshit me, there are shooters longer than Fallout 3.
bold- revolutionary, repetitive gameplay? sure a nonevolving game is way better than everything else

1. no, not one sided opinion...the only thing that nintendo has that had a chance of being GOTY was Brawl, and it lost coz of it's FC system
2. u cant tell me u beat every side quest, maxed the lvl of ur character, got all the bobbleheads, got all the special weapons, and beat the game in all three morality (evil, good, neutral) in less than 40 hours without any help...that's impossible, that's not an opinion, it's a fact: it's impossible
3. you tell me of another game like AC...there has been no game like it, and the new one will be just as big, more beautiful, and more weapons...also ur friend's with DaVinci (my idol) and he gave u a gliding contraption so u can fly....GOTY

1. again, one sided opinion, as the fc system is an inconvienience to YOU. MGS4 won numerous GOTY awards and MGO had the gayest registaration system on earth. NFC>>>>>>>>MGO when it comes to registering and adding people
2. 40 hours isn't long for an RPG, which was my point.(ftr, i fully completed the game in 36 ;) )
3. AC is Metal Gear w/o guns. put it that way. Yes, it was a good game, but there are much better games.
4. Ask anyone on this site, an argument with me is pointless, im like a gaming historian/professor.

1. no, it isnt opinion, it's fact. the fc system is horrible
2. now ur giving an opinion and u did not complete everything in the game in 36 hours, that's impossible, it takes at least 20 hours for the main quests and side quests...so u havent completed the game w/ every possible choice
3. how the hell is AC like MG?? that doesnt even make sense...the games may have the whole stealth thing goin on, but that's it...it's like saying Mario kart is like grand tourismo...
4. apparantly it is pointless coz u cloud ur vision with ur own beliefs and wont budge...right now, this is what happens when an immovable object and an immovable force collide....u are a the heretic xD

(going backwards from 3)
well, my point of AC being MG was that they are damn similar at their core, but are adapted to fit their timelines.
2nd, you dont believe, then fine. i know i beat it in 36
lastly, why did you avoid the part about MGS4 winning GOTY and having a horrible online registration system?

06-23-2009, 10:59 PM
becoz it didnt win GOTY...and u didnt beat everything in the game in 36 hours, it's impossible...the game is as massive as elder scrolls....not even a proper speed run can do it (i can speed run thru it in 2 hours, no glitches)...w/o help, it is impossible for u to beat everything in the game in 40hours, let alone 36
and wat do u mean by adapted to fit their timelines? and they are not similiar to their core, the only thing they have in common is stealth, and that's it...dont insult AC for a game that has a woody for itself and all it can do is play gorgeous cinematics....it took me 10 minutes to actually play as snake from the friggin beginning...the game looks cool and all and the gamplay is awsome, but it may as well be a $60 movie xD

About the MGS4 thing, its won GOTY from PALGN, Fox News Channel, Gamespot, Gamezine, and PC World. Tell me there is not one credible source there and you have to be retarted. Secondly, you can always skip the cutsences, genius ;). Lastly, yes, they play somewhat similar, and the only difference is basically that the weapons at themes are made to fit modern times.
Fallout 3 is actually SMALLER than Elder Scrolls:Oblivion when it comes to map size and availability of quests. Also, since i own it on PS3, I don't have that glitchy ass downloadable content, so i really couldn't say I've beaten EVERYTHING, without disregarding the downloadable content, but the actual game with no add ons, I was able to beat in 36.

omg, ur not reading!!! i said the game can be beat in 20 hours, but to beat EVERYTHING is impossible in 36 hours....u need to create 3 different character, one evil, one neutral and one good....you need to collect all bobbleheads with all characters, all guns with all characters, all quests (main and side), and complete the mni quests that dont appear in the quest list (for example, did u start the domino effect trap by Jury Street Metro?)
pls tell me what ur onso i can get some....tell me, wats PALGN? also, fox news? really now? all of those sites that gave it GOTY, they have as much importance in saying what was movie of the year on Kids Choice Awards....

PALGN= One of Australias biggest VG game news site.
Fox News wasn't as credible, but to say PC World or Gamespot aren't credible are like saying most Ecuadorians are found in New Zealand. It's just plain wrong.
and yes, i beat it on each Karma, collected all bobbleheads etc.
ill even give you my run times, as i saved on each karma.
Evil Karma- 13:31
Nuetral Karma- 12:56
Good Karma- 10:19
Total Time: 36: 06
So yes, 36 hours in all

i didnt say they werent credible (did u not understand the Kids Choice Awards comparison?), wat u failed to understand is that KCA are credible, but not as important as a grammy or an emmy....btw, idc wat they say bout vid games in Australia, it's a different demografic (bad spelling)

both of you STFU god damn. ice man your like 22 grow up. and ninja your stubborn as shit, let it go. your fighting like fucking dorks at a treky convention. who cares and who argues over that. the FC system works fine and brawl put up a good fight but didnt lose becuz of that. it lost to slightly better games then it with more depth. i love brawl but both of you end this useless fucking bickering. your both stubborn and your not gonna change each others minds so end it.
