Ok, so for awhile now I have been looking at getting an xbox 360, but haven't wanted to spend $299 for it. I got is at Gamestop and it is the elite bundle that has Halo 3:ODST and Forza 3 in it and also got a $50 gift card. I thought that this was probably one of the better deals available for awhile. I also had a $75 Gamestop gift card that I had gotten for Christmas. So this comes the dilemma I have been out of the 360 loop and was wondering what some good exclusives would be good to get for it. Please don't suggest multiplat because I have a PS3 and will probably get all of them for it except maybe Bayonetta. I am getting Gears 1 for free already and am probably going to buy crackdown from amazon as it is only $5. Thanks for the help...

You should start with the Mass Effect series.....they really have the best story telling this gen has to offer.

And if you have any respect for yourself as a Hack n Slash genre fan then you must get Bayonetta(PS3 or 360 doesnt really matter but if you dont have it then you might as well get it for the 360).......it easily has the best gameplay in the whole genre.

Metro 2033 is pretty solid. The new Splinter cell comes out in a couple of weeks, you can check out the demo right now. Fable 2 is also game you need check out...there's nothing quite like it. And finally Left 4 Dead 1 or 2, they are one of the best online co-op experiences around.

Dead or Alive 4

Tales of Vesperia (Still exclusive in the West)

Call of Duty 2 (Best WW2 game PERIOD!)

I have enjoyed all of these titles btw.

• Mass Effect 1/2
• Bayonetta (not exclusive but deserves a mention)
• Gears of War 1/2
• Crackdown
• Dead Rising
• Fable (don't worry about the first Fable unless you just feel like downloading it)
• Geometry Wars 2
• Left 4 Dead 2

The Mass Effect series is simply great. Mass Effect 2 is my favorites game on the 360. Other good games are: Lost Odyssey, Perfect Dark (xbla), and Magic: The Gathering (xbla). The xbla games are pretty inexpensive.

games that make me glad I did buy a 360 (I have a PC so the list is shorter)

Shadow Complex
Castle Crashers

These games are an absolute must! In order from favorite to less favorable (IMO) but ALL are 360 fan favorites
