What kind of bundle are you getting? I would recommend PURE, it is such a fun arcade racer. I had a REALLY great time with it. Other than that, get like $50 in MS points and go shopping on XBLA.

I highly recommend:

  • Geometry Wars 2 (put your music on the HDD and enjoy the game. Soooo addictive and so much fun)
  • Splosion Man - CLASSIC 2D plattformer and one of the best.
  • Braid
  • Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition - Best adventure ever

and you have to try:

  • Castle Crashers
  • Trials HD
  • Shadow Complex
  • and a bunch of classic games.

a lot of people are loving those titles.

I endorse this post 110%!

Castle Crashers and Braid are coming to PSN with extras I think so you could wait for those. Castle Crashers is really fun.

As for Lost Odyssey load times, they weren't much of a problem for me after installing to the hard drive (installing 4 discs is gonna take up a crapload of space though. lol).

Why wait for an unannounced release date when you can play them today on XBLA?  Also, I'd like a link to where it was announced they'd come with extras.

Castle Crashers and Braid were already announced for the PSN awhile ago. No date but the ports are confirmed. And it's Sony's policy that you have to include exclusive content when you do a late port to the PS3. It's similar to how last gen the Xbox was getting a bunch of PS2 ports with extras.

Yeah for retail releases. I haven't heard anything about downloadable games.

Now that I think of it, have there been any late XBLA to PSN ports at all thus far? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

all suggestions are good, but banjo kazooie has a horrible frame rate. You might not accept it.

I can see that you will get suck into Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey and maybe Risen hehe

I just seen a video review left 4 dead and it looks cool but seems really short. does anyone know if the second game is any longer?

It'll have five campaigns, the first one only had four. It'll also have scavenge mode which the first one didn't have, and that'll probably add some playtime to it too.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

L4D(LEFT4DEAD) is anything but short, with friends it can last for ever! ask ronster me and him played the shit out of it, the levels always change so its never the same way like RPG's and other shooters.

thanks guys for the input. I decided to get Lost odyssey, Viva Pinata trouble in paradise, and Mass Effect. I also pre ordered Forza 3 one of my main reason for purchasing a 360. Thanks for the help I appreciate it..

Magna Carta 2...I must say...it's not bad...I jsut go the rental from Gamespy, and it's not bad...the combat is nice nicer than JRPGs...my problem is that I have no Block in the darn game. So yeah...I'm on the Magna Carta bandwagon...most of the other faves are already lsited....

Banjo Nuts and Bolts.

The only game that I as a PC/PS3 user am jealous of the 360 library (since tales of vesperia final version is already coming).
