games for XBox 360, because my sister just got one and we need games to play.
With your computer being toast and all New Vegas might not be a bad idea.
GTA V is seriously very good if you are in to that sort of thing. Tales of Vesperia is fun if you like action RPGs. The Portal Games are alright on there. Gears of War may seem like this beefy bro bull****, but it's stupid popcorn fun (there are four of those games). Halo: Either you like it or you don't. Super Nipple Twister 5000 is a cut above the rest. Only play on hardcore mode, but don't have any kids around.
nipple twister, what xD
Those sound good! I do like GTA, although it's been a long time since I've played it. I think I am looking into getting Skyrim first because I've been wanting to try it for a long time :jess:
I'm honestly having trouble thinking of anything else to recommend. This console generation has been kind of meh for the most part.
Tomb Raider is pretty decent. I'll second both Portal's if you haven't played them. The Batman Arkham games are fun too.
EDIT: Oh trout, I just remembered, get the Walking Dead game if you haven't played it already. It is seriously amazing.
Yeah, the Pancake Areola Zone is very hard, but I felt accomplished once I beat that level.Quote:

Whoa, sorry. Been playing SNT5K too much.
Oh my god, I forgot I've been wanting to play Arkham for a long time. Yessss, adding to the list.
They should be dirt cheap now too which is always a plus.
Lost Odyssey is pretty good. Not the most amazing JRPG, but it is fun and has some great stories within it. Eternal Sonata is another RPG that's a lot of fun. I've only played the PS3 version, but I'm sure the 360 version is almost as good. I only say almost because I think the PS3 version had some added content to it, but I could be remembering wrong.
Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that hasn't already been suggested.
Mass effect mass effect mass effect mass effect
Mass effect mass effect mass effect mass effect!
Also Dragon Age: Origins. And Mirror's Edge. And Fallout 3: New Vegas. And definitely Portal. And Fable!
I would recommend Mirror's Edge as well, but since I know you get motion sickness playing something like New Vegas it probably isn't a game you'd have an easy time playing. Same might go for Portal come to think of it.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution if you haven't played it on PC. There are also some really great games on Xbox Live Arcade...Trials HD, Bionic Commando: Rearmed (if you like a challenge), Shadow Complex, Battlefield 1943, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (direct port, play it now if you haven't).
Earth Defense Force 2017
Lost Odyssey is definitely a good choice if you like games made by Hironobu Sakaguchi with an original and beautiful score by Nobuo Uematsu.
Castle Crashers!
The last few Call of Duty games also have really fun co-op, well designed roller-coaster campaigns, and still have decent communities on Xbox Live. Most of them are probably really cheap now.
I was coming in here to say this. This is the best co-op game ever released.Quote:

Lord of the Rings: War in the North (fantastic combat and story, I was very surprised at how well done it was, made by the same people that did Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, and Champions of Norrath games)
Diablo 3 now exists in console form, and its actually really well done
I do not think I have ever played co-op games aside from racing games, etc. I would not be opposed to trying them.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I will definitely look into these.
Trine 2 is great either solo or co-op. :D And it has this scene:
Attachment 47891
I don't know you as well as others so this will probably be hit or miss, but I submit for your consideration,
Batman Arkham Asylum
Bioshock
Devil May Cry 4
F.E.A.R
Ghostbusters The Video Game
Left 4 Dead
Soul Caliber IV
Star Wars The Force Unleashed
Tomb Raider Anniversary
And if you're a fan of Sega,
Dreamcast Collection
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
This is my go-to whenever I have people over, especially if they wanna play something but don't normally play video games. I haven't met anyone who didn't have a good time with Streets of Rage 2.Quote:

Dead Rising is pretty fun, I think you'd dig that. Everyone else has already made some quality suggestions. I'd prioritize one or two physical games listed above. For XBLA, recommending Scott Pilgrim vs the World for a fun couch bro-op game.
Whatever, Eric Dabrowski. I would waste those bitches in Dark Souls.
So go flag down a copy! The best game I've played in at least a decade.
I've compiled a list and it's been added.
Streets of Rage 2 is my favorite from that series. Everything just flows together perfectly.Quote:

Enslaved is much better than people give it credit for.
Eternal Sonata is amazing.
Star Ocean is also amazing.
If you have not played the latter three on PS3 already (because the last two have extra content on PS3) then they're worth picking up.
I also second Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. 43 titles. Fantastic compilation.
Dead Rising 1 and 2
Seconding Mass Effect series and Sonic's Genesis Collection
Of those mentioned already...
- Tomb Raider is a game that I think you might enjoy.
- Portal & Portal 2 are games that I think anyone who has any sense of humour and brain whatsoever will enjoy, however if you do genuinely get motion sickness through gaming then it's possibly not your best bet.
- I agree that Skyrim is far better if you play it on PC and would suggest waiting until you can do that.
- Arkham Asylum & Arkham City are really good games.
- Lost Odyssey is good but you don't strike me as a JRPG lover anymore (sadly).
- Hell yes, Mass Effect! This is the best series on the 360 as far as I can recall. Definitely reccomend.
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution is good, too. I think you'd like it alright.
- Left 4 Dead (and Left 4 Dead 2) is amazing and I actually think you'd really enjoy it. It strikes me as a very 'you' game.
- Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection if you like retro games, but I get the feeling that's not what you're after.
Of the games not mentioned...
- I think you would really like Far Cry 3 as both a solo and co-op experience. If you have two controllers, I'd say Far Cry 3 is about as good as it gets when it comes to co-op on the 360, at least out of the games I've played on it. And considering that includes L4D, that's saying something!
If I had to pick a few games I think you would love more than any of the others on that list, I would probably go for the L4D games, Far Cry 3 and the Arkham games.
Wait, FC3 has couch co-op? :o
Also giving love to the Dead Rising games because I bought a 360 mainly for the original and I did not regret it for a second. They're without peer.
FC3 has something like five or six decently lengthed co-op missions, yeah. There were four with the default game then another one or two have been released since (as far as I know they are free of charge, too). Danielle and I replayed those co-op missions so damned much, they are just way too much fun. It's splitscreen two player for the co-op missions (and vs. missions), I've not tried for four players on the one screen but I know that with two people playing split-screen you can just join up with two other random people online and kick butt. It requires a lot more co-op than most co-op does, so it was good fun.
Dead Rising & even better Dead Rising 2 as it has co-op.
The Saints Row series is immense.
You will probably enjoy BioShock given the setting.
Fallout New Vegas. Fallout 3 isn't bad, but isn't quite NV.
I think you might enjoy LA Noire
Far Cry 3.
Mass Effect 1-3
Lego Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings :shobon:
Red Dead Redemption if you like the wild west!
Gears of War series is the best if you like to shoot things.
LA Noir was pretty terrible, but damn that motion cap
... was also terrible.Quote:

Don't get me wrong, they could've done so much more with the technology and world, but it was a damn fun blast.
I'm not sure the LA Noire experiment entirely succeeded, but it was a very interesting experiment and given that it's literally $5 in Gamestop right now there's no goddamn reason not to give it a look.
I actually haven't played it. Just saw a ton of videos of the facial animation which was atrocious. I might have ended up buying it on a lark had all the stuff about the people running Team Bondie being assholes not come out first. Now I'm long past the point where I care, especially when almost everyone I've talked to says it didn't do things like the interrogations that well. Seeing as that stuff was the main selling point for a game I had little interest in at release I'll never actually buy a copy.
Kudos!Quote:

More power to anyone that could look past all the ugly 2 faces they used, and broken interrogation mechanics and actually enjoy the game
I just found it too easy, and it got boring.
I didn't see Darksiders requested, so I'm adding it. One day and I'm already hooked.
Of all the games I will probably never play a third time, LA Noire is my favorite. I absolutely love it, but it's one of those "borrow first" games.
So what'd you wind up getting?
L.A. Noire was R* published but they didn't make it. If you're seriously going to argue that games like San Andreas, Red Dead Redemption, and GTAV have 'failed', I don't know what to say.Quote:

Not failed as in the market, or reviews, or fan recognitionQuote:

For whatever reason, it wasn't available.
Well that's poopy. I'm sure you'll still enjoy Arkham City without it though.

This. If you haven't, then yes, this. Definitely. Absolutely. Like, don't think twice about it.Quote:

I have actually spent the day glued to the tv playing Bioshock. x_x my eyeballllls
Oh, you do? Huh. From what you have played, what would you recommend? It has been a while since I last purchased a game.Quote:

Pfft. Eyeballs are overrated. Just get some new ones from the nearest hobo free of charge.Quote:

I think it is impossible to take Vivi as anything but a troll, because nobody's opinions on video games can be this awful.
Please. At least I can back my opinions up. And Pike can vouch for my taste well enough.
It's called having higher standards than you lot.
It's called being a sourpuss who is incapable of having fun. Actually, aren't you an accountant? This explains everything.
No I'm not an accountant. It was boring and dull so I left. It was that or kill myself to liven things up a bit.
And I have a lot of fun with games. A lot more than most people I'd suspect since I only bother with the really fun stuff. Not run of the mill sandbox game #34.
While I was playing Run of the mill sandbox game #34, a chap by the name of Iceglow burbled off on a long rambling story about how wonderful he is at the game. I responded by throwing a knife at his horse, striking it in the skull, and sending him flying arse over elbows off the horse, whereupon he landed in a field of wild boar, who proceeded to trample him. Every time he got up, a wild boar would come steaming in and knock him down, causing more and more obscenities to utter forth from his mouth, until eventually one knocked him so hard that he ended up beautifully ragdolling down a hill, onto a road and was trampled and squashed by Quin, who happened to be riding past on a stagecoach at the perfect time. I think I can safely say that this was, in your words, The Really Fun Stuff, and I am glad I bothered.
I'll second most of Paul's list, especially the Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption (one of the finest games ever made, from a story point of view even more so than GTA V), GTA V and Saints Row (I need to pick up 4) recommends. Will also add in Burnout Paradise as a trout ton of fun if dated (especially online if Paul has his copy still)
Shooter wise; Halo 4 was a bit disappointing as it isn't bungie made I suppose that and the new enemies feel rather unbalanced. Spartan Ops if you can get past the lag involved is really good fun though. Halo Reach probably has better multiplayer mechanics though although 4 can be an enjoyable experience if you've not played Reach or 3. Speaking of which Halo 3 is free right now with XBL Gold.
Gears of war is a magnificent series and some of the toughest 3rd person game play out there; when me and Psy get our asses handed to us on a plate half way through the 3rd games hardest setting to the point that we've never picked it up to try again (still looking to beat that damn Lambent Berserker boss! whenever you're ready to rage quit some more dude) I'm yet to play the new Gears that prequels the series but I'm not exactly sure I want to tbh, the trailers showed "new weapons and skills" which aren't in the other 3, I get that yes; we need new things to make the game more interesting or appealing but why not provide us a reason for these things not being do-able in games set later in the universal timeline.
Farcry 3 is amazing and expansive, though once you've done most of the side quests to obtain the special weapons and top items it becomes quite routine and linear. I mean sure you can go scavenging for the collectibles (all of which can easily be found by buying maps showing their locations in the world) but realistically it becomes; visit local radio tower, complete outposts, do story missions, rinse and repeat.
Tomb Raider is sitting on my sideboard yet to be played, as is Deus Ex Human revolution
Also; Minecraft! I cannot stress this game enough to you, the hours of fun that can be had just dicking around and not actually doing much of anything is awesome.
I tell you what, Steve has just made the best post in this thread.
So it's more fun when you abuse Steve? I could see that, though I think we could probably agree that'd be true of most games with any multiplayer component.Quote:

Thanks :D
If I had to add comments about Call of Duty or Battlefield games (I've played them all lol) Battlefield for storyline, CoD for multiplayer Infinity Ward > Treyarch but Zombies > Spec Ops.
Also about racers:
Forza is brilliant for petrol heads as it's the closest to Gran Turismo you'll get if a little too easy, not played Horizon yet but that game looks beautiful. Just avoid using the rewind option in races as it takes the fun and challenge out of doing well.
Thaaaaank you! God there's so many games mentioned in this thread, haha.
Better hurry up and get a job so you can buy them all and then not have time to play them. :exdee:
But I already played Bioshock; suggest me more?Quote:

He definitely makes some points which I find ridiculous and/or asinine. But there are some good ones in there, too. Also, those are some low story standards.Quote:

God damn, I love Okami. The HD version gives me the most unsaintly of joys. :blush:
Which is different from the original Bioshock how?Quote:

Bioshock had an interesting and well-paced story. Well, up until the golfing. After that, it was just a quick sprint to the end, though, so it's forgiveable.
This pretty much sums up how I feel.Quote:

I want to play Bioshock 2 but if it's more of the same, I think I'm looking for a change of pace for a while.
It is definitely more of the same. Steer clear of the Bioshocks if you're looking for something different.
