Used to be i always play with my Xbox original and enjoyed ol games like Fable and Halo 2 (But i hardly played after 2 years till now). I got my Xbox 360 late November.

First game i got was Halo Reach, and everything here changed for me. With new abilities, weapons, veichles and just about everything from Halo 2. I was pleased with the game and got hooked with multiplayer! And comming from a guy who used to frequently play Halo 2, Halo Reach is just GOD LIKE.

Second game was Fable 3, and as much as it's great on graphics and gameplay, the story was way too short especially the time to rule as a king (or queen) and i collected all the silver keys and gold keys and unlocked some bad ass weapons. It's clear to me that even as Fable 3 dominates, obviously through grahpics, Fable and Fable TLC (for PC) was just better to me.

My third game, im having some debate over my head over which should be my next game. I never really lept away from my most 2 favorite games.

So the list goes…

1. Mass Effect 2
2. Red Dead Redemption
3. Oblivion IV Elder Scrolls
4. Assasins Creed Brotherhood (I beat AC, never bought AC2 so i have no idea what just happened afterwards).

Those 4 games i looked over review after reviews. So far im leaning to the first one i picked Mass Effect 2 as it holds many promising stuff.

Im going to buy all these games at one point anyways :P I just buy a game, beat it and make sure i finish everything (Im a completionist :P) So itll take time to buy all of them. Especially if i get Oblivion as i head it sucks the life out of you.

So post what i should get and why! Thanks :D

Also i quit Runescape after botting for soo long.

I got 13 level 99s, CB is 136 and total wealth is 270M. Its been a long ride (Ive been in SRL for atleast 3-4 years i guess) and i played runescape for 7 years. Never been banned, because the bots here are just too human like for Jagex to catch on :D. But than i bought some bots and ya. Been absent here for a while.

None of them.
I have all 4.
Umm, what types of game do you like?
Games I like at the moment:
WWE SmackDown v Raw 2011
NFS Hot Pursuit
MOH
Cod 7
:)

-Boom

I heard MoH was shitty. I have it on here I think, but I haven't had the chance to play.

Need for speed hot pursuit.

NBA 2k11 :D.

Im into action/adventure games hence why i picked these 4 games.

borderlands is what im hooked on at the moment but mass effect 2 is great, but borderlands is a role playing shooter :p also you should try fall out, other then that i have not played the games on your list :)

E: silly me misreading the list, Assasins Creed Brotherhood is good for the story but the gameplay is much the same for me, but i just like the story and will buy all assasins creeds, and as for red read i played it while over a friends house and it is great :)

Honestly, if you've never played oblivion that would have to be it since it's a fucking classic and actually one of the best games on the selection; for the second choice you'd have to go with what you like more… would you rather have a sci-fi or a western approach at a decent RPG, that would let you decide between mass effect 2 and red dead… and I've never seen or heard of brotherhood.

Surely you should have atleast heard of Assassins Creed Brotherhood?

Any game with hype in it, good graphics, and is just epicly fun to play and will not get easy or boring later is a great game to me, you should try MoH or NFS Pursuit.

Brotherhood is amazing…but rent it, don't buy it.

if you like fable 3 and oblivion, you MUST get fallout 3, and fallout new vegas. i mean literally, your life isnt complete without them

Im not getting Fallout New Vegas. Considering ive heard about its bugs. Not the mutated ones :p

Yeah a part from your brothers :( they where a let down, and get fall out 3 its good, although i played new vegas round a friends and did not like it much :(

i got ac brotherhood for Christmas and have not stopped playing the multilayer. The story is also fun, but i haven't gotten into it yet.

Deadly Premonition

that is all

Red Dead Redemption is an amazing game!!!!
WOOT! Hogtie!

I had many problems with New Vegas causing me to restart twice…. cant say anything bad about mass effect 2 i loved it.

dude ima tell you right now. ME2 . do not get oblivion. dont get me wrong; its one of the best games IN THE WORLD imho. but get that for pc. not 360. as far as RDR idk. brotherhood is cool. but if u want some kick ass game, to me i just tried mass effect 1, and immediatly bought me2. it RIVALS elderscrolls. these 2 titles are the best games outthere as far as singleplayer rpg goes. (havent tried FO3. will soon)

From: Huthaifah
NBA 2k11 :D.

+1 :) This game a true adventure XD

Plants vs Zombies


Lol. Fallout NV or NFS HP

I vote Mass Effect 2, but only if you've played Mass Effect 1 before.
You would miss out on parts of an amazing story.

Same goes for Brotherhood really, I think you should play AC 2 first.

^ Played ME 2 before ME 1 then play ME 2 again :p loved it

Don't buy games.

What I do:
- Have Xbox DVD drive flashed
- Download and burn as many games as you like
- Get banned around Christmas time
- Sell banned Xbox for £30ish
- Buy a second hand Xbox for £60ish (price of 2 games)
- Repeat
- Profit?

Spend the price of one game each year (depends if you flash Xbox yourself, else around 2 games), but have as many games as you like.

Orrr, you could support the creators of great games, instead of helping out Microsoft.
Hypothetically speaking, you know. Just an idea.

I'd rather save myself money than give stupid amounts of the stuff to game developers who have already earned millions from the games they sell. Considering Activision made over $650 million from Black Ops in the first 5 days of sale, I doubt they'll miss £45.

Also, I wouldn't be helping Microsoft out. If you read what I said, I said "second hand Xbox", meaning that none of the money paid would go to MS. Also, why would it matter if the money was to go to MS? You don't mind it going to equally as money hungry game developers.

I guess RDD will be the best, or any kind fun, good graphics, shooting game.

You know, we are all entitled to our own opinions. It does not speak well for you that you give me such a snappy comment on a post that was obviously meant as a joke. Thanks for the - rep. You give your opinion, I give mine. I don't see why my post should be 'a stupid response', and yours should be a valid one.
