360 Recommendations?

Post by The Top Crusader »

So, yay, I have an Amazon Visa and get $25 gift cards occasionally for Amazon... and I'm due for one pretty soon. I have some things any mind figured I'd ask here in case I'm missing something. Basically I'd like to get 3-4 really cheap games instead of just one in the $30 range.

Plus I'll be getting a Gold Live account in a week or two, yay! \:D/ So add "thetopcrusader" so I can ignore your party invites! \:D/

I can't recommend any great games for 360, as all the best sellers are games I avidly avoid. However, I would like to submit that Gold memberships are a tremendous waste of money, unless you're going to be playing online all the time. You can download anything with a Silver membership.

Hm, if you like RPGs and shooters, Bioshock is probably one of the best games ever.

Also, the best RPG for the 360 is probably Mass Effect....

There's Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty 4, Gear of War 2, and of course Halo 3 for some cool shooting games...

and for the best racing game ever just get Burnout Paradise...it's hands down the best racing game i've played...

also if you're into like crazy 100+ hour single player RPGs there's oblivion and fallout 3.

if you don't want to buy new retail games you can always buy cool arcade games...one of my favorites being Castle Crashers, the best side scrolling beat-em-up game ever.

also, gold membership is totally worth it. no doubt.

LOL I Just found some weird scam on ebay and got 4000 microsofy points for $20, so I bought a bunch of Arcade games... I almost got Castle Crashers but didn't. :( I probably will next time I get some points, though. I got Marvel VS Capcom 2, Space Invaders Extreme, and... uhh... other stuff I forget.

I saw Call of Duty 2 is like $3 used on Amazon so I might get that and some other stuff.

I finally found a game that I would recommend to everyone: The Secret of Monkey Island. AIO listeners will hear a couple of actors they recognize. \:D/

I know nothing about this, but someone I went to high school with works for M$ in the XBox division. He posts stuff to FB about it and thought you guys might care:

The sequel is about to come out, though. And everyone says it beats the poop out of the first
