markymark Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Would like to hear what you guys and girls would rate to be good games to buy on this console, I have one coming this Christmas and I don't want to waste my time buying the crappy games, just the best. I like Army games but I also need ideas for games I can play with my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Army games? Like 1st person shooters? I've played Call of Duty 2 recently & it was brilliant, I think number 3 has come out recently as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool I will have a look into this one, can you play through the net with this as I'm a big fan of BF2 on the P.C but had a lot of bother getting connected since all the updates.(one reason for the XBOX) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 COD2 is fantastic over Xbox live Gears of war is out soon, really is the next big shoot em up. PGR for the racing is a must as well, once again the online racing is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 the 360 doesnt really have good kids games, how old is your son? your best off getting a nintendo for that. But games you must buy are Project Gotham Racing, Test Drive Unlimeted. Gears of War, FEAR, BF2 and of course, it isnt long until Halo 3 comes out! oh and the new Sonic the Hedgehog maybe good for your son. would recomend a few others but there are different formats.

jaymdee Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Go onto XBox live market place and download the demos. I've got loads (11) on my Hard Drive. I often buy games and only play the first few levels and then get bored, so demos are great for me. I think there's a few FPS types on there at the moment.

smithaldo Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you like Army type games then Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is a must. Quite surprised no one as mentioned it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickeh Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Fight Night 3 is amazing. Don't usually like those types of games, but it pushed my buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 agree with Smithaldo, Ghost Recon is the best all round game, especially the gameplay in XBOX Live! Plus GRAW was voted best game of the year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHanky Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you like Army type games then Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is a must. Quite surprised no one as mentioned it already. I was just about to warn against this game I hated its restrictiveness, i.e. there is no jump button and therefore you get stuck if you come across a 1ft high picket fence, or the fact that you can't hide in a lot of the vegetation as it is solid. Shame really as it could of been good. BF2 is great, I love playing that online. Test Drive and Gotham are great games but I very rarely play them as I am always on BF2 Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Brother Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Cheers people for your good advice, right now lets bug the girlfriend:d (my son is 5 but he's better at some games than me:blink: ) The sleeper hit this Christmas will be Viva Pinata - perfect family material, although you may find yourself playing it more than your son.

Nathman Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I am thoroughly addicted to Project Gotham at the moment, although just picked a copy of Perfect Dark which is fantastic online! 2 days to Vegas is one to watch out for though, no idea when it is going to be released, but check out those graphics! http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/2daystovegas/screenindex.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
