Title: I've just gotten someone to lend me their Xbox 360 for a year
Post by: The Business on January 17, 2009, 02:46:44 AM
I already have a PS3, and don't own a PC.  What are the best 360 or 360/PC exclusive titles to check out?  First on my list is Fable II, and I've heard good things about Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect.  What else should I get?  Anything coming out in the next year that I should know about?

I think it's safe to say that Microsoft hasn't announced the bulk of it's 2009 games yet, you know, like the past two years.

Yeah, even though it's multi-platform get fallout 3.  You couldn't have played and enjoyed it on PS3, it's buggier and uglier.

hey bmb.  whatcha doin here?

oblivion is my favorite but i think you played that already.  fallout looked real good but i don't know for sure. 

if you like rpgs lost odyssey and blue dragon are great.   star ocean 4 should be coming out soon so maybe that will be good.

i like musou games and the finest one yet is musou orochi 2/orochi warriors 2.  do NOT get dynasty warriors 6. 

gears of war is awesome and i heard the second is better. 

can't think of anything else......

Grid, Earth Defense Force 2017, Mirror's Edge, and Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 (the first one doesn't have anybody online) are my top recommendations.  Try any interesting looking demos to see what else you like.

Is EDF 2017 really all that? I keep hearing it's great, and a sandbox game, but am hard-pressed to believe a Simple 2000-series sequel is worth the non-2000-yen risk.

It sucks compared to EDF2 cuz you can't fly, the girl was the best character to use and now she's gone. WTF

Also it has terrible, terrible achievements that do not stack

it is not a sandbox game by any stretch, unless all you like to do in sandboxes is shoot bugs.

yeah, it was a bit lame that pale wing wasn't in EDF 360 at all.  I'm still hoping they will release another one on the 360 (or PS3).

wtf? it's got like 53 levels but there's basically 3 environments.  It's got definite flaws like the lack of variety to the enemies and environments and the fact that the achievements can be hard to get (the inferno difficulty achievement is impossible if you don't health farm).

The positives is that it's a fucking awesome co-op game.  I have like 72 hours into it right now and most of that is co-op.  There's just something about having 2 people play it that makes it awesome.

I never played the last games in the series and only played this one because a lot of people recommended it here but I have no idea how it is compared to the older games.  You should be able to get it for about $20 and if you want a co-op game, it's a really good deal.
