Top 5 360 Games Out Now?

That Guy 901

According to xbox.about.com these are the top 5 Xbox 360 games out right now:

Oblivion
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Fight Night Round 3
Gears Of War
And PGR 3

For me Id have to say:

1. Forza 2 (just cant get enough of this game!)

2. The Darkness (great game, really easy to pick up and play)

3. Rainbox Six: Vegas (great game when I first got it but havent played in a while)

4. Saints Row (great game and Im still getting loads of fun out of it)

5. Splinter Cell: Double Agent (Fantastic new release as Im a big fan of the series but I expected more)

I have played alot of the 360 games currently out as I have a [cough]modded[/cough] xbox 360 and these were my favourites to date.

Well whats your top 5 360 games out so far???

I havent played the darkness................. yet
but forza was good for a few days then i got bored with it, type of game you can play then leave for a while and comeback to.

Overlord has taken up all of my time anyway, havent been this into a game since oblivion last year or zelda on the wii. Absolutely loving it.

tman

"Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" is ahead of the rest by a country mile imho.

2 - Gears of War
3 - Crackdown
4 - PGR3
5 - Lost Planet

(I have Forza 2 and the Darkness on the way to me, so that list will most likely change soon...)

Imo and in no particular order:

Rainbow 6: Las Vegas
Forza Motorsport 2
Project Gotham Racing 3
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Call of Duty 2

The Sparrow

I don`t think I have a top 5... I haven`t really been impressed with any of the games I have played on the 360 so far. Just a couple of examples:

Splinter Cell... pretty dissappointing imo, it wrecked my head how for half the game you couldn`t use any weapons or take out guards. It looked good, but having played the other Splinter Cell games (and MGS!) there didn`t seem to be a whole lot to it.

Saints Row... some parts were good but it was incredibly buggy and its the first game I have ever played that I have had to switch of an restart because of bugs such as falling through the pavement. And the stupid respect system really annoyed me... side missions are fine, but for me anyway its all about the main storyline and I didnt appreciate being forced to do side missions to continue the storyline!

As I`ve mentioned before, I`m still waiting for the first wow moment on the 360... I picked up The Darkness last night so hopefully that will provide it.

(in no particular order)
GOW
Rainbow 6 Vegas
GRAW 2
The Darkness
C&C3

Zapp Brannigan

I really dont think GoW should be up there. I mean, sure the game is outstandingly pretty but apart from that there's not much there.

cedomination

in no particular order.

-dead rising
-oblivion
-rainbow six:vegas(this is miles better than GoW,but thats just my opinion)
-c&c 3

-uhh...halo2

I think I like GoW because I dislike Halo so much. IMO, it gets the so called "30 seconds of great gameplay, over and over" just right, whereas Halo started to seem repetitive to me at around the 61 second mark. The gameplay is consistently intense, the graphics stunning and overall just geat fun to play. It is also the first game I played properly online, and very much enjoyed it. In between game limbo, I often rip out GoW - there is always one insane achievement left to grab.

Fony Tenton

Well my top 5 at the moment would be

Guitar hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gears
Top Spin 2(great craic playing doubles)

Crackdown
Hitman: Blood Money

Virtua Tennis 3 is a good game, my only problem with it is that it's pretty much the same game that came out years ago on the Dreamcast.

1. Rainbow Six Vegas
2. Gears of War
3.Fight Night Round 3
4.Dead Rising
5.Crackdown

What are the best games on Live at the moment? I'm getting myself one in a few days, and i already bought Rainbow Six Vegas, but what else?

The Freeman

1.rainbow 6-vegas(completely blown away by this game)
2.Gears of war(not too much to it buts its great craic and after all thats why we buy games, FOR FUN!)
3.colin mcrae(never had so much satisfaction throwing a car around a tarmac road)
i'd like to throw in graw but after playing vegas it seems very inforeior and unresponsive for some reason and dare i say a little too hard for a medium setting difficulty, still a great game in its own right though.

wanabe

Pro 6
Oblivion
Gears of War
Saints Row
Dead rising

Retr0gamer

1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: A classic and not beaten by anything on the xbxo360
2. Rainbow Six Vegas: Don't bother with GoW this is infinitely better as a single player game and even more so in multiplayer.
3. Dead Rising: Loads of zombies, whats not to like. Tough to get into but very rewarding and original.
4. Earth Defence Force: Can't believe I'm the first to mention this. Cheap and tacky but an enormous amount of fun for the price. Great Co-op.
5. Viva Pinata: Cute graphics disguise a very tough and addictive management game.

I see a lot of people saying Forza 2, but does anyone else find the lack of music during races incredibly boring?

kensutz

No, why would you want music playing constantly.

If you want music while racing then play PGR3.

Cause the sound of the car noises with nothing else burns my brain after a while.

I tried playing with custom sound tracks but I found it nearly impossible. I rely on sound to hear when I'm breaking to hard, when I'm turning to fast when I have to change gears, when another car is close and when my rear wheels lose traction. They didn't leave it out for nothing.
