    Condemed
    Perfect Dark
    Dead Rising

    Was thinking about Burnout Revenge. Any other ideas ?

    Thats a tough one Tusky. I'd narrow it down to Guitar Hero 2 (for the sheer brilliance of the controller), Saints Row and Fight Night Round 3.

    Have you played Rainbow Six Vegas yet??? If not, this should be top of your list as it is one of the best games out for the 360 at the moment.

    why are you recommending he buys games he already has?:p :D

    Rainbow 6: Vegas. Definately.

    No Oblivion yet? Best value for money on 360. 60 hours in and still tonnes to do. Should be able to get it cheaply too.
    Uuuh Patsy: Dead Rising does the job. Some extremely weird design choices in there (the timed game structure is bizarre and often annoying) but there are few other games which allow you to use a lawnmower against zombies with such great effect. In classic Id say its worth it.

    get fear, it has the best on-line gaming by far

    A few friends seem to think Crackdown is the dogs. Also have the added benefit of the Halo 3 beta - really enjoying it too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Oops. Have Crackdown & have Oblivion on the pc. Im not mad about FPS on consoles so Rainbow 6 is out. I know im not making this easy!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 208 ✭✭Dublin1983

    Okay so no FPS games, but I think you'd enjoy Oblivion as Johnny Ultimate said. Such a huge amount of stuff to do and it never gets boring....ever!!!

    I'd probably wait a week or two and get Forza 2.

    The new Command & Conquer is supposed to be good.

    Good call, love that game, should really go back and get the 1000 gamer points from that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Earth Defence Force 2017 or Viva Pinata :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,960 ✭✭✭DarkJager


    Can someone please explain the fascination with Forza 2? The way people are talking about it, you would swear Halo 3 was being released....

    Decent driving sim where you get to pimp out your motor. It ticks all the boxes for a good driving game, no?

    HALO 3 - Final part of one of the greatest video game trilogies ever made...

    Forza 2 - Racing game with features that have been done to death in every single racing game released in the last 5 years...

    except there hasn't been a decent racing sim, in which you could 'pimp' the car, on the 360.

    One of the most over rated game trilogies of all time. Level design leaves a lot to be desired in both the original and 2. In fact have the special edition of Halo 2 and didn't bother even finishing it as it got so boring.

    And what exactly is Halo 3 going to bring to the genre that Forza 2 wont bring to racing sims....not more shiny metal hallways and bunny hopping mutliplayer i hope


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,837 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    How about Table Tennis.

    YES! Listen to her


    EDF2017 if you like drinking and playing games with friends or VP if you want a world builder.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,406 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Agree with Koneko. Viva Pinata is amazingly deep and addictive. I'm rubbish at it though. All my other pinata keep picking on my Raisants and getting their asses kicked by them. Stupid pinatas!

    Earth Defence Force is a cheap budget game but it's probably the most fun you will get out of your 360 at the moment. Co-op is an absolute blast and the single player ain't half bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Stupid raisants and bees don't get along, so only keep one or the other, otherwise you'll just spend all your time smacking them. Same goes for some of the horsey-breeds, they don't get along. I ended up with a garden full of awesome animals that never fought at all (and no fences, mmmm). I loooooove the Roarios.

    It's the sh!t, as in it's good.


    Forza 2 will be the greatest driving game ever!!!

    C&C3 is also a good game.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,400 ✭✭✭Vyse


    Yep, pick up Pinata. I really enjoyed that one. Also thought Double Agent was pretty good especially over Live.

    Don't know what your XBox collection is like but there are is always a great back catalogue there as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭mcgovern


    Viva Pinata!
    Its one of those games where when you are not playing it, it looks boring and doesn't really pull you in, but once you turn it on, hours will pass without you noticing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭shortys94


    Is shadow run supposed to be any good? Isnt that out in a few days?

    Thats my problem. I have the Raisants fenced in but the stupid Bees keep flying in for a fight and get their asses kicked. And don't get me started on the Newt things and lickatoads. At least I'm not trying to breed them.

    I really liked Gun... Would be a good choice if your looking for a fun game although I assume it is just a port of the xbox version.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭shanethemofo


    Get splinter cell double agent *waits to be smacked*

    Its actually a very good game when u get used to the controls and get into it.
    And considering u can pick it up 2nd hand for about 25 quid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Another vote for Viva Pinata
    shame that I'm so crap at it, the 2 cutesy pinatas that Koneko kindly sent me left my garden after a few minutes:(
