I plan to buy Gears of War, Mass Efect and CoD4 sometime in the near future, does anyone else have any other game that you would recommend

.....One last thing, where the hell can i buy halo 1 and 2 for the xbox in Europe?? I can't find a single store with these games...


Those are three good choices.  Also look into Orange Box, Crackdown, BioShock, and Oblivion. BioShock is only like ~7 hours long (although you may want to play through it twice), but you can spend quite a lot of time playing the other three.  Also, although the single player is relatively short (it took me as long as Halo 3), you can put countless days into the CoD4 multiplayer if you have Xbox Live Gold.

 

Also, there are 20-30 excellent Arcade games, check out all the free trials.

And if you want some less expensive games and never had an Xbox, check out the top Xbox games that may appeal to you (but also check out the 360 BC list). There are plenty of "top Xbox games" lists out there:

Halo 1 and 2: Does Europe have Xbox Originals yet? If so, you can get Halo 1 on there. Otherwise maybe try online, like Amazon or ebay.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
