Criticizing seventh-gen gamers for their anti-Asian preferences and then two sentences later, admitting to anti-white-guy preferences is quite the accomplishment, my friend.  

What a stupid post as usual with you. That gen most protags were literal white guys with short hair or shaved head. It was a trend and a boring one. Taking it as some racist thing when I am white. Check yourself. 2000s were ripe with anti Asia in games media. If you did not see it then call yoursellf Mr Magoo. It was plain as day and if it were a pit of snakes you'd been bitten 10,000 times. Just a small sample. 

Oh and Homophobia from the makers of the racist game Kung Fu Chaos.

I can't find the original meme anymore and I did not make this so it includes some PS4 stuff but still works. I just got done playing Fracture on 360 & Psi Ops a few days ago. Bald generic white guy. There was almost no diversity in leads in the 2000s. 

It was just the hypocrisy of your argument that made me laugh. You can criticize people for doing something that you do yourself, but it's not going to have the effect you want. In fact, it'll probably have the opposite... like what happened here.

Also, leading a response with an ad hominem fallacy is a good way to get people to not take you (or your argument) seriously, if that matters to you. I don't know if it does, but yeah. Probably not the best of ideas.

Topic turned blue but Jack is blocked. Anyway. Back to Curl's OP. Pulled out the 360 games and always adding more to this pile. There would be about 30 more if I didn't buy other games on PS3. I have more 360 games than PS3 tho.

Aaand, already found another one; Warhammer 40k Space Marine.

I'm not a Warhammer guy but I do like over the top action games and it looks like good dumb fun.

My 360:

Both games are great! Outside of Gears of War. Space Marine 40k. Binary Domain. VanQuish. Transformers Fall of Cybertron are some great TPS games from that era.  I also like EX Troopers a lot but it's PS3 Japan only for consoles.

Binary Domain and Vanquish are some of my favourites too, loved their relentless energy and style.

Stranglehold was another TPS that gen that I thought was awesome and underrated, again for how stylish and cool it was.

Oh boy, Space Marine.

I'm also not a Warhammer fan, but this game is a lot of fun! Ok, maybe not on Gears of War level, but still a very, very fun action game.

Crazy to think it was their first action/shooter game. Relic only does RTS games otherwise

It started extremely well for me, Games like Kameo and Condemned blew me away.

Condemned was great, the atmosphere and sense of desperation and foreboding was phenomenal.

Never played the second one but it's in the mail, will get around to it sometime next year.

First one was a bit like X files/crime murder mystery with a little taste of a magical cult going on...The second one goes full magical or full action game for most of its game.  Every part feels worse than the first one it is a shame. The devs wanted to make a third one that would retcon the second one....It is a bit like ' The Darkness' also a early 360 game that tend to be for most a hidden gem but the sequel destroyed its reputation.

An open (hub) world 'The Darkness game' like the the first one would work so well in this age aswell.
