Oblivion is a must but kiss the next year goodbye cause it'll take that long to complete!

cableguy.ie

Defo Arkham and Dead space which should be cheap at the moment

Also Fable 2. Fallout. Saints row 1+2(well most of it) and more recently Alan Wake.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

cannot ****ing believe I forgot fallout and arkham

calex71

+1 on Dead space and Fallout 3

I know were you are coming from OP I always groan with annoyance when an NPC support character turns up. Feels like i'm being cheated out of shooting bad guys

keith_d99

Bioshock also a must

ricman

Bioshock 1 and 2, mass effect 2 , crackdown .

EGriff

You've got 2 teammates with you all the time in mass effect 2.

Oblivion is amazing, fallout 3 is really good too.

Daniel2oo9

Go for Dead Rising.Cant go wrong

bucks73

Shadow Complex on XBox Live Arcade. Brilliant game.

TheMooseInNam

Here's a comprehensive list of all the games listed above, in no particular order...

dead space
asassins creed 1+2
Oblivion
Fable 2
Fallout 3
mass effect 1+2
Saints row 1+2
Bioshock 1+2
crackdown
Dead Rising
Shadow Complex
batman arkham asylum
mirrors edge
Alan Wake
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Cullen82

Alan Wake is alright.

To be honest I got bored of Arkham after 20 minutes or so...Would not recommend - Just my opinion though

Oh and Bioshock is one of the best stories you'll come across - Not normally my type of game but the story more than made up for it.

Dardania

I found mirrors edge very enjoyable - bit of action, skill and thinking, with a very cool world

bucks73

Forgot about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed...excellent also.

FUNKY LOVER

thanks for the replies.obviously some people share my selfishness of wanting the whole game for myself!!

Shiminay

I didn't see it mentioned already, but Trials HD is a must own single player game.

Peteemax

Splinter Cell Conviction

Screaming Monkey

Ninja Gaiden II, picked it up cheap the other day.

That_Guy

I'm currently playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Great game thus far.

Also Alan Wake is a good single player game.

And it has been mentioned before but Arkham Asylum is an essential game.

cypharius

Pre-owned Batman Arkham asylum. Best E15 you'll ever spend.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

arkham is only 15E preowned now? awesome, i traded mine in after I finished it and i've been waiting for what feels like forever to see it come down in price enough to justify a second purchase

c - 13

Borderlands ? I hear its supposed to be much better multiplayer but I did the whole campaign alone and quite enjoyed it.

As was said above, Mass Effect should really be avoided if you don't like computer controlled team mates!

Maybe Lost Odyssey if you fancy an RPG?
Crackdown (oldie but a goldie!)

+1 for Borderlands (also played this mostly solo), Arkham & Shadow Complex

That_Guy

The Orange Box. You can't go wrong.

mise

Defense Grid is only 400 pts this week and well worth it

Saying that, I was never irritated by them and you can order them around. They are also quite potent and useful.

Unlike Halo or Call of Duty when they all stop in a doorway and you can't get past them. And are completely useless in combat.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum

I was fairly skeptical at first, as its not usually the type of game I'd go for at all, but its actually a masterpiece. Well worth the money.

budhabob

BAsed on this thread alone I'm going buying batman tomorrow. I'm also a big fan of single player games, in a similar manner to the OP, but also because i'm not a fan of playing online.

guitarfan

Fallout 3

Red Dead Redemption

Star Lord

More votes from me for:

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Dead Space
Alan Wake (Once or twice you've got NPCs with you, but it's still worth it)
Assassins Creed 2
Portal (The Orange Box includes this, but often have NPCs or multiplayer in the other games)

Patsy fyre

Portal :-S

Shryke

I'd say try Mass Effect. The npcs with you are actually fairly handy and never in the way, neither are they necessary.
Dead Space,
The Orange Box,
Alan Wake,
Batman:AA.

All well worth it. And I enjoy a good single player experience with good story.

#Daniel

I picked up Singularity last week, the opening of the game is a bit slow but it really picks up an hour or two in.

frantic190

Alan Wake, play it with the lights off and soak up the atmosphere. Has its flaws but its still a great game.

Yeh, Red dead redemption as said, but more importantly JUST CAUSE 2!! I can't stop playing it, everything else seems so boring in comparison, I mean where else can you jump from a fast moving car which crashes and explodes 2 secs later, escape by parachute and grappling hook from one side of the map to the other. Then there's all the vehicles and proper jets (which is what I miss most from GTA) aswell as grappling hook onto a helicopter, then you've to fight your way inside (more realistic, although physics has it's very slight glitches). Overall I was very impressed!

Playing JC2 at the moment, and while it's enjoyable, there are a few things that annoy me. I don't like the combat system at all at all for a start. The map is too big too, getting from A to B at the start is a pain in the arse. They could really have done something like RDR, where you can buy a map for a specific place, so that you can fast travel there.

RolandIRL

Orange Box
Ninga Gaiden 2
Oblivion

i found Mass Effect to be very short. i got through it in no length. oblivion and ninja gaiden are good long games. also if you got ninja gaiden black for original xbox (it works for 360), it took me ages to finish that game but it is easily one of the best games imo.

Onearmedbandit

Red Dead Redemption
GTA IV
Crackdown
Dead Rising
Dead Space
Just Cause 2
Mercenaries 2

Just a few of my favourites all of which have great single player.

Know what ya mean, but I love just messing around with the grappling hook to make it more fun, hanging people from buildings, tie them to a car, tie them together, or stand on the bonnet and grapple as you fly past. So much you can do!

+1 for The Orange Box and +1 for Mirror's Edge.

Portal from The Orange Box is fun but short and I started Mirror's Edge at the weekend and it's a refreshing change. I love the block clean colours.

Condemned 1 and 2

I can confirm that this game is not available new or used in Galway city. Oh how I have tried to get my hands on a cheap used copy. Would prefer that than having to buy online.

Already had it on PC but picked up used copy in Game on Eglington St for 19.99 last Saturday:D Sorry but i guess that means i got the last copy in Galway.Worth every cent and then some.
