If you enjoyed the older GTAs then crackdown and saints row are much better than GTA4....which imo completely missed the GTA feel.

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

Not a bad list.

But a note on Burnout Paradise... if your a huge fan of the series ya might not like that. Unless you liked the direction Revenge was taking the series then ya might like it. Me being a huge Burnout fan was not impressed with the direction of Revenge and subsequently the further changes in Paradise. Just a clarifcation from a huge fan of the series.

Otherwise pretty good list.

 

WOW!!!

Now, I'm impressed!!! As a huge fan of the ULTIMATE CATASTROPHIC RACER ,Burnout (Burnout 2 and of course TAKEDOWN are my favorite), I played Paradise for 6-7 hours. And that's it. The game is good. But I won't play it anymore. I just stick my Takwdown copy on my old XBOX and replayed it. Those who are fans of the true Burnout series (by the way, Revenge sucks a little, too), I think that they feel the same way

agreed. But I would substitute Takedown with Revenge ;)

You should definitely pick up Gears of War too, especially if you have a friend you can play co-op with. Lots and lots of fun. Also, if you like JRPGs, you should get Lost Odyssey.

@konnichiwa

Wait. Are you comparing a funny GTA ripoff (ok, it was quite fun, I admit it), with GTAIV? Sorry buddy, but these are completely irrelevant games. I'm really sorry if you're one of the guys (they are many, I know) who played GTAIV THIS way. Sorry, you just missed the whole goddamn game

Saints Row should be compared to Crackdown. And Crackdown is FAR MORE FUN. One or two days to do what? Explore the Pacific City? (May I remind you the Vertical dimension of the game play?). Collect the Orbs? Beat the races? Leveling your character? Do the interesting achievements? Sorry dude, but there are over 30-35 hours in that game. Unless you love to pimp girls once more (I guess San Andreas hdn't enough of that stuff...). I can't understand why this is more fun than try to climb a skyscraper and then dive from 500m to a 3 square metres pool at the base of the building. I find the last one more entertaining.

Then tell me how to play it and enjoy it? And you are acting that I am crazy to compare SR with GTA IV while you still call it a ripoff of GTA IV lol.

Crackdown was fun but when I finished the story I didn't saw why I should collect all the orbs and leveling up my character.

And I didn't do any racing in Crackdown I hate it (I never did that in GTA/SR too);

OK thats just completely irrelevant to anything else said in the thread. So what if 360 is a shooter console? Obviously if the OP chose those games then he is a fan of shooters and so should be happy about the 360 having a large variety of shooters.
