That's a capture of gamerankings.com's "top 30" or whatever. I crossed out the games that I a.) have already played too much to justify buying, b.) already own, and c.) played and didn't like. Any great ones there? And moving beyond the list. Any must buys not listed there? I like pretty much everything sans puzzle games. I think my favorite game ever is God of War.

Dead Rising is pretty great, and if you like racing sims Forza 2 is about as good as it gets. Viva Pinata also has gotten a lot of praise, I still haven't tried it myself though.

Reccomending games would be a whole lot easier if we knew which ones you had already crossed off the list.

I had a lot of fun playing through FEAR and Tomb Raider: Legend recently.

You crossed up the Elder Scrolls. what

Crackdown. Heck, I'd say most of the remaining games on that list are good (and in the right order to boot). There's a reason why they're the top 30 games. 360 gamers apparently know their stuff.

I heartily recommend Dead Rising, Viva Pinata, and DiRT.

You crossed up the Elder Scrolls. what A lot of people aren't that impressed by it.

Reccomending games would be a whole lot easier if we knew which ones you had already crossed off the list. I am a retard. Good call.

Dead Rising is like, a must-own 360 game. And if you have never played Symphony of the Night, it is the best Castelvania game ever so get to it

Thanks much for the recs. so far. Now I propose a specialized question. I am looking for a 3d adventure/action game. This game will play similar to God of War and Shadow of the Colossus. The caveat, though, is that it will not possess magic. It will be like a hybrid of Max Payne/Stranglehold/God of War, but without guns- just swords/daggers/bows/etc. I'm essentially looking for a game where you're a Roman legionnaire/a Crusader/a thief in 1000AD/etc. etc. and you run around and kill people. Sort of like Shadow of Rome... but for 360. Any ideas?

lol, YES. That is the reason that I got a 360- it is already reserved. Glad to see you understand what I'm looking for though. Any others?

It's a list from gamerankings.com, so it's game reviewers averaged out that knows their stuff. This is what 360 owners bought: (Shamelessly pasted from wikipedia) * Gears of War (3.7 million) * The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (3 million, includes PC release) * Call of Duty 2 (1.4 million) * Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (1.37 million) * Dead Rising (1.22 million) * Madden NFL 07 (1.1 million in US) * Perfect Dark Zero (1 million) * Saints Row (1 million) * Dead or Alive 4 (1 million) * Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (1 million) None of those that I know to be a horrible game, but console FPS arent my thing. Exept Oblivion, a game made horrible by a wierd leveling system.

lol, YES. That is the reason that I got a 360- it is already reserved. Glad to see you understand what I'm looking for though. Any others? Project Offset, maybe? It's about what you're looking for. Problem is it's not confirmed for 360 (but if it is released, it's a likely platform for it) and hasn't been picked up by a publisher yet.

Burnout Revenege is a lot of fun and the new Burnout Paradise comes out soon, forsa was pretty good to, I would also give a vote to crackdown and dead rising, and if you get crackdown make sure you get the extra content makes the game a lot better

I haven't played Bioshock that much, but so far it's a great game.

Actually, Ninja Gaiden is back. compat., right? Despite it being last-gen and having some magic, I'd highly recommend that one for 3rd person action. It's pretty fucking hard, but it does have an insanely fun (and blisteringly fast) combat system. I picked up Dead Rising after getting some recommendations here in G&T. I did not regret my purchase. BioShock and Oblivion are incredible even if you're not into FPSs or RPGs.

I just grabbed Dead Rising and put $25 down on Assassin's Creed.

I think he wants us to tell him Assassin's Creed is out now. So, yeah get Assassins creed! It's great! otherwise there is no other game that really fits that genre.... did Thief:deadly shadows come out for original xbox?

And as much as I figured I'd be disappointed by it as a long-time Thief fan (as it took the same approach generally as Deus Ex 2), it was actually QUITE good. Totally recommended.

If you do pick up Dead Rising, do yourself a favour and take a look around for the PA thread. Main tip: Do not focus on trying to "complete" the game the first time around; it'll only frustrate you like crazy. Mess around a couple of times, save with your increased stats, and then try and beat the game. You'll thank us later. Awesome game if you do that.
