Hey guys,


I'm going to take the plunge and buy an Xbox 360 three years after it's release. That having been said, anybody got any suggestions as far as games? I'm looking at Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare, Ghostbusters, and Madden 2011.

Please advise, my fellow gamer Jamheads.

    It's actually been five years :ugeek: :lol:

    My top games are:

    Mass Effect 1 & 2
    Fallout series and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
    Halo and COD series (Reach is great)
    Bioshock
    NHL 11
    Super Street Fighter 4
    Red Dead and GTA series

    In regards to Madden, I got burned out on that series and moved to the NCAA version which was great this year. That said, I will not be buying anymore football games for a few years because EA is more focused on figuring out how to charge extra then actually improve the game.

    Also, don't overlook the arcade games as well. I spend more time playing them since I usually only have time to play in small spurts:

    Pac Man Champoinship Edition
    Pinball FX2
    Geometry Wars 2
    Shadow Complex
    Trials HD
    Splosion Man
    Uno
    Be Excellent To Each Other
    Party On, Dudes!

    Definitely a must own here.

    Someone earlier pointed out Halo:Reach which I'd like to reiterate. Great game. Halo is a very worthy game to own whether you're playing solo or having friends over. It's an Xbox exclusive too, so get on that shit!

    Have fun.

    If you Call of Duty, you may want one of these:

    from a different thread, obviously.

    This probably won't last long, but if you're able to make a purchase today, you can get both RDR and the Undead Nightmare pack for less than $48 shipped from Amazon. This my friend, is a steal.

    In my opinion, the best sports games are NHL 11 and NBA 2K11 unless you really love football and even then I would go with NCAA over Madden.

    Can't go wrong with Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It's very open ended like GTA and RDR.

    Fallout 3 is the shit
    Dead Rising is fun
    If you're into racing games Gran Turismo 4 is awesome
    NCAA Football has surpassed Madden IMO

    Especially since you can download NCAA rosters with the actual player's names AND you get to run the option :thumbup:

    I didn't get the last Madden because I was pretty upset that in Madden 10, EA put advertisements on the screen just before the snap ... I couldn't ignore them and they completely ruined the game for me to the point I stopped playing it. I can live with a Snickers ad or two during the half, but during the actual play????

    I just feel i get more out NCAA. I did not download the rosters names but it is a cool feature i just did a random name and named the star players on my team. Madden just seems like you pay for the updated roster nothing has really made me say wow madden is the shit for awhile. Last one i bought was 07 and the last one i played was 09.

    The Beatles RockBand is my favorite game, you need one of the guitar controllers though. They have a couple of cool Beatles guitars, I got the John Lennon Rickenbacker one.

    Some other good ones are:

    Star Wars: Force Unleashed (the sequel is pretty good too)
    Left 4 Dead (or the sequel)
    Halo: Reach
    Dead Space (I haven't played the sequel yet)

    Ghostbusters was really fun, but the multi-player never really took off, and I'm sure it's probably non-existent now. If I were you I would rent it first, unless you have found it somewhere for really cheap. By the time I played through the story mode 2-3 times I was tired of it. It is really fun though.

    I couldn't get into that Red Dead Redemption though, long games like that I can't do anymore, video games don't hold my attention for the same length of time as they did when I was younger.
