[QUOTE="Arnwyn, post: 4618814, member: 7701"] While Mallus is wrong on virtually everything he says virtually everywhere in ENWorld (;)), he's almost always right in the video game forum. So - what Mallus said. :D I own Bioshock, Mass Effect, Fable II, and Fallout 3 for my 360 (others for my PS3), and they're all quite good (well, Fable II less so, but if you liked the first one then you'll like this one for sure, I'd say). Note, though, that the far superior version of Mass Effect is on the PC. The Gears of War series (1 & 2) is pretty good, if you like shooters. (And, again, the far superior version of GoW1 is on the PC, not 360.) I found Oblivion to be wretched and boring (with poor controls on top of that), but lots of people liked it so it might be worth looking in to. (And yet again - same as above. Superior verson on PC.) Halo 3, if you liked the first two (it's more Halo 2.5 or even only "2", since Halo 2 was more like Halo 1.5, heh). Too short and disappointing single-player game, AFAIC. Other 360 games I own (and consider decent, at least - especially if you get 'em used): - Blue Dragon: a respectable JRPG - Dead or Alive 4: the DoA series of fighting games is my favorite, so I'm not all that objective here. Not as good as the best one in the series (DoA2), it's still decent. Too bad the 360 controller is wretched with fighting games, 3D or otherwise. *sigh* - DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball 2: Okay, I [i]don't[/i] recommend this... it's very bad. (I got it for <$10 and the only redeeming feature is that it has video game boobies. That's not much of a feature.) - Dead Rising: find only if cheap. Very repetitive and short, it's a lot of fun for short periods because it's you, a mall, and zillions of zombies. Zombies! - Eternal Sonata: A beautiful (both in graphics and sound) JRPG. - Forza Motorsports 2: An okay racing game (though the PlayStation's Gran Turismo series blows it out of the water). If you like racing games, though, get it used. - Infinite Undiscovery: A so-so JRPG. By Square-Enix (yay!), but definitely not their best work (boo!)
