Got $100, Looking for Something New

As the title suggests, I have a hundred bucks in my pocket, and I want to buy a new 360 game. As odd as it sounds, I want something that has great looking armor for the main character, preferably upgradeable with new pieces. Also, a game with a lot of exploration and story would be nice.

Most of the obvious choices I've played the shit out of. Right now it looks like a choice between Halo: Reach and Fallout: New Vegas. I've also had my interest peaked by something called Ego Draconis, or something like that.

Any recommendations?

    Sounds like Fallout: New Vegas is your game: tons of upgradable crap and more freedom than a GTA game. If your PC can handle it, you might consider getting it there instead, especially as Steam'll probably have it discounted during the x-mas sale.

    As another suggestion, Dead Space has a simple but really well executed story, and the armor is upgradable, too. It doesn't have much in the way of exploration, but going back through and playing it again recently, I'm finding myself really,really impressed.

    I think a lot of us just assumed it would be trumped by RE5 at the time it came out and it never got its due proper accolades.

    I assume you've already played Batman?

    Yeah, it looks like I'll get New Vegas. As for Dead Space, I rented it and liked it, I'm just not sure how it'll stand up to multiple playthroughs.

    On the hand, holyshitmutantalienzombiebabypuntkicking.

    EDIT: Played the shit out of AA. Got all the Riddles.
