[XBOX 360] Which games?

[Maxpovver]

After lvl 99 for my hammerdin...There's no D3 for me, because my PC needs a major upgrade for D3. And I'm still hooked to D2.

After lvl 99 I'm going to borrow an XBOX 360. Which nice games can you recommend me?

- GTA 4 (Overhyped and overrated?)
- Resident Evil 5

I got hooked on Just Cause 2. Open world, lots of crazy stunts, and that same Diablo 'collectors' feeling. There's thousands of items and upgrades. Very high replay value. Check out some of the youtube videos if you haven't seem them yet.

Depends on what you like, but games I've played and enjoyed in no particular order...

Gears of War 1, 2 and 3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (my personal favorite), Modern Warfare 3, World At War and Black Ops (mostly just for the co-op fun in nazi zombies)
Dead Island
Battlefield 3
GTA 4 (mostly co-op/4 player online messing around doing random things)
Dark Souls
Halo 3, ODST, Reach and Halo Anniversary (remake of Halo: Combat Evolved)
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Dead Rising 1 (guess 2 is fun as well, but couldn't quite get into it)
Mass Effect 1 and 2 (haven't tried 3 yet)
Fable 2 and 3 (I think 1 was for the old Xbox, so might not be as fun without having played Fable first)
Rage

Ehmm... Well that should give you something to do.

If you don't get Batman: Arkham Asylum you might as well throw out your Xbox.

Apart from that, I've thoroughly enjoyed
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Deadspace
Tekken 6 (if you have friends who like playing with you- single player sucks)
Soul Calibur IV (if you have friends who like playing with you- single player sucks)
Arkham City
Red Dead Redemption

Haven't gotten around to Deadspace 2 or Mass Effect 3 yet.

If I had to choose one shooter, which one would it be?

[korialstraz]

Tough question.

It kinda depends imo, since I play different shooters based on mood and who I'm playing with.

But to me it basically comes down to the below conclusions.

FPS:

MW3: Fast paced action, can make a huge difference to your teams ability to win if you play well, not trying to be too realistic. Fun to jump on for a few games here and there. Most maps are rather small, making long range sniping not that viable, hower good snipers can still perform very well. Strong co-op mode (imo).

Battlefield 3: More realistic, slower paced action, bit more tactical, need to rely more on teammates, and can be a lot more difficult to make a good difference for your team in order to win. Good mix of small and large maps, though most maps (even the small ones) feel a lot bigger than the MW3 maps. Vehicle combat (tanks, boats on some maps although only for reaching land, jet fighters and choppers). Not as good co-op possibilities, yet still fun for messing around with or to unlock weapons. Different game modes, some of which is centered around strong team play (even more so than Domination on MW3).

Halo 4: Good sci-fi shooter. Bit of a mix imo between MW3 and BF3, some maps feel larger than MW3, yet smaller than BF3. But you can in some game modes in this game go lon wolf and still make a good contribution to your team. No aiming down sights though, but you get used to that quite quickly.This game cannot be compared to the above two though, so you should probably look up some videos and stuff before hand to see game play footage. Back when Halo 2 was the newest released Halo game it was my main FPS game.


Third person shooter: Gears of War 3. Or even all 3 (since you can find 1 and 2 for real cheap these days) if you want the full story. The art design is very dark though, not as much color, or at least not in 1 and 2, the third tries to make up for it a bit more. I've only ever played this for the single player story and co-op madness.
