Ok I really REALLY am led to think i'm finally getting a 360, what games should I get? I'm an all around kind of gamer I know world at war will end up being one.

If you're looking for something different, try Halo Wars. It's a very good example of how RTS games should work on consoles and a big skirmish game with all 6 commanders is a blast.

Hrmh.

Halo 3: ODST.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origins
Gears 1/2
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Mass Effect

Fallout 3
The Force Unleashed
Dead Rising
Rainbow 6 Vegas
Burnouts Revenge

Fallout 3
CoD: MW2
One of the lego movie tie-in games
GTA 4
Street Fighter 4

halo wars, IIRC, you said you liked sratgey games
ALL zOMBIe gAMES!!!!!
every one of them, they are all cool!!

Ugh.

Dead Rising? Really?

Wait for Dead Rising 2!!!

It's Dead Rising, without Photography

It'll still be the same crap aiming system. Even Left 4 Dead is better than that garbage.

If I wanted to play a zombie shooter, I'll just play Killing Floor, which I got for a whoppin' $5 off Steam...same graphics/engine, everything as Left 4 Dead.

Just with awesome things like chainsaws, LAWs, and C4!

Fast moving Zombies are not Zombies. Fast moving Zombies are an aberation of the genre and should be put away for all time.

Pft. I see your fastmoving zombies and raise you dinosaur zombies.

Suck it down, sucker!

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Left For Dead 1 or 2
CoD: Modern Warfare 1 or 2 (both are fantastic, though you'll probably find more people on 2 these days, obviously)
Halo Wars
Battlefield: Bad Company.

And I would also suggest Brutal Legend, simply because it's a Tim Schafer game; the controls can be a little more difficult to get a hold of in the RTS mini-sessions, though. That might put you off. But still, it's a game about nothing but heavy metal, you can't really go wrong.

Mass Effect
Bioshock
Fallout 3
Dragon Age: Origins
Borderlands

Most bang for your buck would be Valves Orange Box.

How do you guys play FPS with controllers?

............................... cheese you should know what i mean ,
in games when you have less than a second to do a head shot , how do you move the stick to aim at something few pixels big.

The same as you do on the PC.

You just aim normally. It's really not that hard. Try it out sometime.

With practice?
First time I played a console FPS I was stumped, but it soon became second nature

So basically with practice , you can be as fast and accurate with controller compared to mouse o_o? ( like 100% the same? )

Good console FPS' have aim-assist and good key mapping.

Anyway, my list:

- Saints Row 2
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Mass Effect
- Gears of War 2
- Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Attack of the sequels, I know.

edit.

Mouse and keyboard are still better mind you, just look at that Shadowrun game that was released for the 360 and PC. Who did it best? PC? Who suffered the most? 360.

What on earth is so stunning about it? Why would anyone find aiming with a controller harder than using a mouse?

Hmm.. let me think for a moment...

Shooter: The Orange Box. It has one fantastic singleplayer shooter, a great multiplayer shooter and one of the best games on the entire generation.

RPG: Fallout 3 or Mass Effect. If you're looking for a good RPG, these are the ones to go. And imo much more intersting than the usual sword & sorcery stuff.

Action: Batman: Arkham Asylum or Dead Rising. Don't listen to Kanluwen. Dead Rising is real fun when it gets going.

Grand Theft Auto 4. I usually don't like these games, but GTA4 is fantastic.

Banjo-Kazzoie Nuts and Bolts. It doesn't really fit into a specific genre. Imagine classic collect-a-thons combined with Lego racers and the incredible machine and you're half-way there.

LunaHound wrote:So basically with practice , you can be as fast and accurate with controller compared to mouse o_o? ( like 100% the same? )

I have definately improved drastically with practice. I used to be head shot king on the PC, but had to train myself quite a lot to get anywhere near as good on the 360. You can get very good at it if you put in the hours (though I am still not as good as some people appear to be *coughaimbotsI'msurecough*), I am certainly not bad and much better than I used to be.

And my list would be:

Fallout 3 (GOTYE)
Halo ODST
Halo 3

Any other 2 games of your choice.

Edit: though I would second Banjo-Kazzoie Nuts and Bolts and The Orange Box.

I have no problem at all, playing shooters with a controller.

I was asking Endtransmission

Cheese Elemental wrote:What on earth is so stunning about it? Why would anyone find aiming with a controller harder than using a mouse?

It's a pretty reasonable question as they are very different controls. Just ask anyone who's dreamed of a console RTS.

Fallout 3/Mass Effect [hell, bust your bank and get both]
Halo 3: ODST
Gears of War 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Soul Caliber 4

If you find them online, you may be able to afford more.

Whilst I am a PS3 owner, I know the following games pwn righteously!

1: Modern Warfare 2
2: Fallout 3
3: Dragon Age: Origins
4: Gears of War 2
5: Street Fighter 4 (or hold out until Spring and get Super Street Fighter 4 instead)
