Recomendations for a sick man

Corkfeen

Been in hospital for the last few weeks and basically have 2 months of recovery in bed to do. So recommend me some xbox 360 bundles or whatever and some games to pick up. Price would be nice to know too. Thanks very much.

Nozebleed

sorry to hear your not well. for starters get you hands on the latest call of duty!! that should last a week or possibly 2.

dunworth1

assassins creed 2 battlefield bad company 2 (if you have live)

GTA will keep you going for ages

RolandIRL

oblivion, fallout 3. those two alone should take up a few months provided you don't get bored of them

+1 on fallout 3, get the game of the year version if you can with all the expansions. I must have put 120 hours into that one.

Red Dead Redemption is a good one also.

The Orange box is excellent value.

Stephen

+1 for Red Dead Redemption. Love that game.

wandatowell

Dead Space is a must have. My i ask what you were in hospital for? just being nosey, tell me where ta **** off if ya want

deelite

Left for Dead One or Two - I love those games

gizmo

Apart from those already mentioned...

Mass Effect 1 & 2
Gears Of War 1 & 2
Ninja Gaiden II

Also get plenty of MS Points as there are some absolutely cracking games on XBLA.

Depending on what your into I would suggest the following
Single player not online
Fable roughly 20 euro and it will keep you busy for a while
Batman arkham can be picked up for 15 euro at the moment and is good.

Single player online
Trails,explosion man,limbo all these are from xbox live. From 800-1200 points which would be around 10-15 euro.

Multiplayer online
Have to say the big ones are Battlefield Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 1 or 2, Fifa,Forza.

You could probably pick up a second hand xbox for at most 100 or pick up the new slim for around 275, most of the slim would have options of bundles but I am not up to speed on them at the moment.

If you could tell what type of games interest you we could probably give a better suggestion.
Prices on the xbox and slim are estimates.

Glald to hear you're on the mend anyway! I'm guessin by bundles you need to pick up the console too? If so:

€250 with second controller and Lego Batman and Pure
€280 with above plus two more games chosen from: Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Planet 51, Forza 3, Narnia, Lego Indiana Jones, Project Gotham Racing 4, Assassin's Creed, Halo 3, Gears, Kung Fu Panda or LOTR Conquest

€285 with first offer plus one more game chosen from: Tiger Woods 11, Super Street Fighter 4, Need For Speed Shift, Dragon Age, Iron Man 2, Mass Effect 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Left 4 Dead 2 or Fifa World Cup 2010

€290 you get the Sky Pack with 3 month sub, remote control and Sky sub and choose a game from the €285 list.

Is what Smyths have on offer (not advertising or plugging, I work there, I don't run the place! )

Also this thread here has general info on what offers the different stores are doing on the new Slim console. You'll pick up some of the older consoles cheap though.

Indeed. I've put a crazy amount of time into this and still not anywhere near finished.

Same with Fallout 3 - 100+ hours and loved every single minute of it. The best game I EVER played by some distance. C

Assassin's Creed II and Red Dead Redemption pretty bloody good too.

Of course Fallout and Oblivion are top notch games but OP am i right in saying that your not exactly a gamer? In which case the above mentioned games may not be for the casual.

I picked up Just cause 2 for 25 quid last week and if it is pure entertainment your after, you'll be hard pressed to find a better title. Sure it has it's issues i.e can be a little repetitive but Damn it sure is fun blowing sh!t up, flying attack helicopters, jet fighters, skydiving, blowing sh!t up ( did i mention that already) fun fun fun picking up a gatlin gun and yes you guessed it BLOWIN SH!T UP!!!!!
Have fun and get better soon.

Actually a fairly big gamer but never got round to getting an xbox, will play most games except football really. Unfortunately mightn't be out for a few more days though so keep the reccomendations come.:D

baby and crumble

I'd go for Civ Rev, it's not all that taxing til you get up to the higher levels but it's tons of fun, plus dirt cheap at the mo. Fable is great too, Sorry to hear you've been sick, but hey, yay for gaming time!
