Which (360) game from this list to try first?

riddlermarc · 11 Dec 2007 at 16:12

I'm pretty much stuck at home following a little op and a colleague just left me a carrier bag of "older" 360 games to tide me over on my new xbox.. I have no idea which ones are good or not so I'm laying myself open to your opinions:

Prey
Gears of War
Ghost Recon
Ghost Recon 2
Star Trek: Legacy
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 3

Bearing in mind I'm not the HUGEST fan of FPS am I a little bit lost here? They all look like "run around and shoot lots of people" games? I will give anything a go, though, so if a game is really worth giving a go I will try it

I must admit CoD 2/3 look good, a bit more involved etc?

Gears of War

Gears of War is also the one I'd go for first. Although you can't really go wrong with any of those titles.

Ghost Recon is quite tactical. You don't go in all guns blazing like you do with the others on the list.

Gears.

COD 2, then GoW, then Prey skip the others.

I would go with Prey. I thought it was awesome in terms of story and it just felt a little different to play. People go into Gears of War with such massive expectations now that it's hard to live up to it, where as people go into Prey as the unknown.

Call of Duty 2 is utterly brilliant too, playing through that in Veteran is one of the most rewarding experiences I've had on the console. I assume you already have Call of Duty 4 as it's not on the list, because if you don't you should pick that up for the multiplayer aspect.

I would honestly recommend all of them bar Call of Duty 3 and Star Trek. But I would say Prey first.

Have you tried The Darkness, as that would be my recommendation over any of those.

Gears of War

Wow, thanks for the quick replies guys.. looks like GoW is the way to go, followed by CoD

Should keep me going for a few days then..

Or rent COD4 and just try to drag yourself away from online multiplayer.
Go on, I dare you!

Abooie · 11 Dec 2007 at 16:55

Some good games there. Stick Gears of War or COD2 in first. If you're not a great joypad fps player learn with COD2.

gears

Mr Men · 11 Dec 2007 at 17:19

them all? Don't really understand as you have the games so surely its easier to make your own opinion by trying them?

Shamikebab · 11 Dec 2007 at 17:23

He's been lent 7 games, maybe for a limited time. He just wants to know which one would be best to start with.

Mr Men · 11 Dec 2007 at 17:24

And asking some random strangers on the net is better than sticking the game in and seeing for yourself? How lazy this nation has become

McManicMan · 11 Dec 2007 at 17:44

Ghost Recon 2

RoachycaL · 11 Dec 2007 at 17:47

And its a massive big scar on my games list now!
