PS3 FTW!

Umm...what does this have to do with the topic?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Lost Odyssey pretty good JRPG with great music by the master Nobuo Uematsu. Also the German voice acting is pretty good even though I played the majority of the game using the English voice acting. You should also look out for Alan Wake that game looks very promising.



Bayonetta is an awesome game that anyone who like action games should get. Also since you like JRPGs there are a few for 360 (however I didn't like any of them, I am currently renting FFXIII and find it mediocre...)



Well perhaps I misjudged you cmeese47 and overreacted to what I perceived as the usual anti-360 bias and condescension. Your expertise in JRPG's will no doubt be of more use to the OP than my limited experience so I'll leave you to it. I hope the new owner will be pleasantly surprised at the guality and range of titles the 360 has to offer. Sorry about that whole Captain Trollhammer thing. A pc tag might prevent a similar misunderstanding. I expect that attitude from pc gamers.

The psone? Really, I hear it was great. Over and over and over. I'll just take your word for it I guess. It's not like you are biased or jaded by your vast experiences and incapable of appreciating the benefits of HD games.

Oh and saying that all but three rpgs on 360 were very mediocre and repeating the tired old 'shooterbox' myth is both deliberate misinformation and most definitely trolling. Perhaps you could go stick something in your PSOne just to see how it holds up to your fond, fading memories.

JFYI you do understand that the concept of mediocre is based on the median or average and that there can not be a 'very' medium game? It's a contradiction in terms obviously. If 5 is the median value on a scale to 10 for example then any value over 5 can not be technically called mediocre. Oh, and this is just nitpicking I know but pails carry things like manure while the term you were looking for was pale as in faded like your memories of the hundreds of AAA games you played in those golden days of old. You did manage to use plethora in a proper context and I'm sure some people were very impressed. Was I sounding a bit condescending there? Again, my apologies! I know just how annoying that can be.

What?! nobody recommended the Viva Pinata series?! preposterous. seriously, I recommend checking out this series, it's basically "The Sims" but with pinatas and an extra twist of cutesey.

I also recommend XBLA titles such as Shadow Complex and Geometery Wars 1 and 2. There are also games that looks promising coming soon on XBLA like Ilomilo and Limbo.

And last but not least, ALAN WAKE!!!

You said no shooters but are you only talking about all the ones you can play on PC? or strictly no shooters? Some cheaper ones I'd recommend are PDZ and GRAW if you'll be doing any MP whatsoever.


  well, i might eventually get a(n exclusive) shooter or two, but since i won't be able to get 20+ games at the beginning i certainly won't get a shooter right now.

Congrats on your purchase. I recommend that you go download demos from the marketplace. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/catalog.aspx?d=8&r=-1&g=-1&mt=0&ot=1&sb=3&rl=0&p=1

this is actually a good advice. i'll do that for sure.

but i want a handful of full games to choose from right from the start, too!



you missing out on a lot of rpg's. But, you can get NIER and FF13.

And

Lost Odyssey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_>

I'm not a first person shooter fan either but I like some of the downloadable games. Pac-Man: Championship Edition and Geometry Wars 2 are addictive and fun.
