Essential XBox 360 Games?

zom247 · 5 Jul 2010 at 21:48

Now that I've got my 360 what games should I be playing? I've already got:

Alan Wake
Red Dead Redemption
Forza 3
Halo-ODST

That should keep me going for a while but what other games are out that I should be playing?

Cheers.

Was a hardcore pc gamer but it all seems to have dropped off lately and only really play WoW now. I'll probably have played most games that are out but there's always something that I'll have missed! Most of my mates have gone over to the xbox which is why I thought I'd give it a shot.

Gears is OK, but fairly overrated all told. Batman: Arkham Asylum is brilliant.

Halo 3 for me, spent a lot of time online on there! Although I guess with the newer ones now you could get away without it.

+1 for batman
GTA IV
Assasins Creed

One word.

Braid

One of the best games on the platform, THE best puzzle game I've ever played, and only a couple of quid

Mirror's Edge
Bad Company 2

If you like JRPGs, Tales of Vesperia is definately worth a look if you can get hold of it.

Metacritic is probably your friend for this subject though

Buy a wheel to bring Forza 3 alive & then buy Dirt 2 as it's Awesome with the wheel.

Fable II.

I'd say gears aswell. Some people say its over rated, I still think its one of the best games on Xbox along with the sequel.
So get it and decide.

And most definately MASS EFFECT

Mass Effect > sex with more than 1 girl > sex

Batman
The Oranage box
Bioshock 1&2 if you haven't played them already
Battlefield Bad Company 2 if you like online games

Few suggestions however your pretty much sorted with what you've got now.
