New Game Reccomendations Thread: What to add?

[mrstickball]

It seems that with the new price drop, RPGs, and various other reasons, more VGC-ers are buying X360s. We have the Game Reccomendation thread, but I have yet to update it in quite some time.

So lets get the ball rolling with new suggestions. I will post a few games that I want to add..Lets get more reccomendations.

I want good games on the list, preferably exclusives, or very good multi-plat games. For multi-plats, lets keep them to cheap titles, if possible.

Shooters - FPS, TPS, Horror

Name	Released	MSRP	Multiplayer		Why to Buy
Condemned: Criminal Origins	Nov. 2005	<$29.99	No		Scary. Despite being a first-gen launch title, it still remains one of the scariest to date. 15+ Hrs. Get it before the sequal comes out
Earth Defense Force 2017	Mar. 2007	<$39.99	2p Offline Co-Op		A quirky B-rate Sci-Fi Shootem up. You fight litterally hundreds of enemies onscreen at once. With 2 players doing co-op, one of the funnest arcade-like titles in ages.
Ghost Recon: Adv. Warfighter	Mar. 2006	<$29.99	4p S/S, 8p Online		Fantastic demonstration of X360 graphical powers. The first truely next-gen TPS game on the system. Still has MP Players online. Better than GRAW2, IMO.
Gears of War	Nov 2006	<$39.99	2p Co-Op, 8p Online		Obvious elite uber-title. Huge online community despite being 1yr old. Must-have TPS title. Great co-op SP mode.
Call of Duty 2	Nov. 2005	<$29.99	4p S/S, 8p Online		Best COD, aside from maybe 4. Still has an online community, and incredibly fun.
Perfect Dark Zero	Nov 2005	<$19.99	4p S/S, 16p Online/Offline		Despite being semi-weak in some areas, the 16p Bot Matches are still awesome fun. Incredibly cheap too.
Far Cry Instincts: Predator	May 2006	<$19.99	4p+ Online/Offline		Not for everyone, but the map maker/editor is a blast to play on with friends offline. Very long SP mode.
Rainbow Six Vegas	Nov. 2006	<$39.99	8p+ Online, 4p S/S		Best Rainbow Six game to date. Huge online community, and great varied game modes.

 FPS Games to Add: Bioshock, Condemned 2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4.

Racers, Sports, and Fighters

Name	Released	MSRP	Multiplayer	Why to Buy
Need for Speed: Most Wanted	Nov. 2005	<$29.99	2p+ Off/Online	Best NFS title to date. Open-world roaming makes it an awesome title. Much better than Carbon.
Test Drive Unlimited	Aug. 2006	<$39.99	4p+ Online and MMO	Awesome open-world arcade-ish racer. Still has a decent online community, and huge back-catalog of DLC. No other game allows for a 150+ Mile race around Hawaii
Forza Motorsports 2	May 2007	<$59.99	8p+ Online, 4p Offline	THE sim-racer title. Should be cheaper by now due to pack-ins.
Fight Night Round 3	Feb. 2006	<$29.99	2p Online/Offline	Fantastic boxing game with perfect next-gen visuals.
Ridge Racer 6	Nov 2005	<$19.99	8p Online, 2p+ S/S	Old forgotten Ridge Racer. If you like ultra arcad-y racing, it's still a fantastic buy a $20.
Dead or Alive 4	Jan. 2006	<$29.99	2p Online/Offline	Near-Perfect fighting game. Still has an online community as far as I know. Incredibly difficult too.
Project Gotham Racing 3	Nov 2005	<$19.99	4p+ Online/Offline	Great arcade-style racer. As good as PGR4 without the price, or motorcycles.

Games to Add: Project Gotham Racing 4

 

Role-Playing

Name	Released	MSRP	Multiplayer	Why to Buy
Oblivion	Mar. 2006	>$29.99	No	Best RPG for the 360, arguably. GOTY Edition w/ Shivering Isles is $60, but you can get the non-SI version for $30-ish. You'll get addicted
Blue Dragon	Aug. 2007	>$39.99	No	Fantastic JRPG for those that enjoy the SNES RPGs. Price has taken a nose dive at many stores. Definate pickup for the JRPG enthusiast.
Enchanted Arms	Aug. 2006	>$24.99	Yes	Someone will kill me for mentioning it. But for the price, it's a decent little first-gen JRPG that lasts 40hrs. Watch out for Omega.

 Games to Add: Two Worlds (low reccomendation, but I will since it's cheap), Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey.

Action/Adventure/Ect

Name	Released	MSRP	Multiplayer	Why to Buy
Dead Rising	Aug. 2006	$29.99	No	The best *gem* on the list. Not for everyone, but Capcom and Resident Evil lovers will enjoy this sandbox-style survival game with a serious, and funny storyline.
Kameo	Nov. 2005	$19.99	2p Online/Offline	Awesome under-mentioned platformer from Rare. Not a Banjo-Kazooie, but 20 hours of definate fun. Great multiplayer aspects too.
Crackdown	Feb. 2007	>$39.99	2p Online	Most innovative game of 2007. Combines Mario platforming with GTA Shooting. DLC content makes it a must-try if you can find it cheap.
Saints Row	Sept. 2006	>$39.99	8p+ Online	Good GTA-Clone game with much improved various addons. Has multiplayer, that when works, is phenominal.
Tomb Raider: Legends/Anniversary	May 2006	>$29.99	No	Only next-gen version around. Best Tomb Raider since #1. DLC allows for you to buy Annaversary.
Lord of the Rings: BFME2	June 2006	>$29.99	2p+ Online	First RTS Console game that works well in years. Definate pickup for the RTS fan.
Overlord	May 2006	>$39.99	Unkown	Pikmin-inspired RTS/Adventure game. Worth a look if you like offbeat games such as Pikmin.
Chromehounds	June 2006	>$29.99	4p+ Online	Hardcore mech combat game in the vein of Mechwarrior. Persistant online battles are still alive and kicking. Do not but for single-player...But MP is insane!
The Outfit	March 2006	>$19.99	2p+ Online/Offline	Hybrid RTS/TPS. Very niche, but absolutely awesome. One of the few fresh WWII games on the X360.
Viva Pinata	Nov. 2006	>$19.99	Online	Wow. Phenominal kid-friendly strategy game. Adults love it too. Must-buy for $19.99 if you liked Sim Farm
Culdcept Saga	Feb. 2008	>$39.99	2p+ Online	One of the most addictive Trading Card Games out there. Like Magic: The Gathering and Monopoly with strong RPG elements. Budget priced at $39.99 and hundreds of hours of gameplay.
