Must have games for Xbox 360?

parallaxical · 11 months

Just Cause 2! It's chaos, and delivers hours of fun.

The Orange Box, 5 great games for the price of 1!

Would you kindly consider Bioshock?

Some of my favourites are:

Alpha Protocol - Has some problems, but overall a good game. You could probably pick this up extremely cheap (less than $10).
Batman: Arkham Asylum + Arkham City - They're Batman games done right.
Bayonetta - Incredibly fun action game.
Darksiders - Amazing adventure game.
Deadly Premonition - Has a decent story and good atmosphere (horror). Has a ton of other problems though. I'd recommend reading up on it before buying, but you can pick it up very cheap.
Just Cause 2 - Extremely fun sandbox game.
LEGO Games - Batman, Star Wars, etc. Great games that are extremely fun, especially with 2 players.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - Great game for 4 player co-op. I wouldn't recommend the first one though (that could just be personal preference).
Mass Effect 1/2/3 - Probably my favourite sci-fi games.
Red Dead Redemption - Great western sandbox game.
The Saboteur - Another game with problems, but still quite good. Again, you can pick this up for under $10.
Saints Row: The Third - This game is just fun. Not particularly difficult, and will probably last you about 20 hours. I had fun for all of those 20 hours though.

There are probably a ton more that I'm forgetting, but those would be some that I highly recommend.

For $45, you could probably get Alpha Protocol, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, The Saboteur and another game. That should keep you quite busy.

Edit: I would also recommend checking this list out.

You ever played Viva Pinata? That game is the shit.

strangebox · 11 months

Tales of Vesperia, Mass Effect 1,2,3, Red Dead Redemption, Prey, Eternal Sonata,

JamMasterJai · 11 months

Mafia II, Skyrim, Fifa 12 (if you enjoy football (or soccer) ), Left for Dead, L.A. Noire, Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto IV, Battlefield 3... can't think of any more must haves, but I advise you avoid Call of Duty at all costs.

Mescoleto · 11 months

Fallout 3 ftw.

If you have Kinect, Gunstringer is an interesting use of the technology and pretty fun. You control a puppet in a western themed "revenge"-style plot line. It's basically a first person shooter but cartoony and fun instead of gory and gritty.

PacoDamorte · 11 months

I love Prototype and Prototype 2.

Slagathor91 · 11 months

Eternal Sonata. I never hear anybody talk about it. It's also fro the PS3 if that is an option. It's definitely a JRPG though so if that's not your thing,don't get it. However, it's a great game. I got it used at Gamestop for like 20 bucks.

DistortedWaffle · 11 months

Halo Reach and Halo 3 (especially if you have played the others.)

animalxer · 11 months

Red Dead Redemption and Bioshock are great for their story. I also enjoyed Mass Effect 1 and Lost Odyssey. If you're looking for absurdity, EDF 2017 is like an old B-movie. And if you're looking for bounty hunter action, try Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath.

Bromoe · 11 months

Oblivion, probably not the best but it came from the top of my head

If you like JRPGs Lost Odessey.

KTrout17 · 11 months

Psychonauts is fantastic.

Bioshock 1,2, Gears of War 1,2,3, Mass Effect 1,2,3, Shadowrun while the servers were still up, Other than that all that comes to mind are the shooters and stuff you can get on any system.

rockerbabe28 · 11 months

All I can say are the games that I love to play; The Bioshock series, Halo series, Dead Space series and the Lego games(probably the only game that has yet to make me yell, fucking shit!) I hear that the the batman series and Assassin's Creed series are pretty good, been thinking about picking one of those up today

DMYTRIW · 11 months

Gears 1 and 2 can be bought together for less than $20 now. GTA4. Any Ace Combats.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and BF: Bad Company 2 were my favorite because of the multiplayer, but nobody plays them anymore.

karson123 · 11 months

I find diRt 3 incredibly entertaining if u are into racing :D

xavierd19 · 11 months

How has no one said Mass Effect!? Start from ME1 obviously, it is an amazing adventure.

Sterculius · 11 months

Red Dead Redemption, Shadows of the Damned and Portal 2.

InternationalRoots · 11 months

Mafia II (<--- Seriously, buy this. Intensely underrated)
Limbo
Bastion
Batman: Arkham City

Pariaah · 11 months

Indie game, "the impossible game" downloadable on marketplace. It is one of the most frustratingly addicting, cheap games. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_E96i-u_5E0

Cigajk · 11 months

Halo 3

dirtfreaks · 11 months

I feel like Grand Theft Auto 4 is a must have. Also, any Assassin's Creed game.

TooMuchRage · 11 months

Guitar Hero. Meh, I like it...

LedinToke · 11 months

Halo 1 and 3 are fun single player wise. All halo 2 had going for it was its multiplayer, and we can't play that without xbconnect anymore :(

oshitsuperciberg · 11 months

Reach

Cuj0XXX · 11 months

Grab Assassins Creed 2, and brotherhood by the time you finish those grab revolutions those games are awesome and you can spend hours just exploring. Also grab borderlands you can get the game of the year addition with all the dlc's included for like30 bucks

stuckinhyperdrive · 11 months

if you expect to have friends, just get FIFA. everyone understands the basics of soccer and even non-sports people can get into it. can't beat that multiplayer

Tokenblackguy05 · 11 months

L.A Noire The New Ghost Recon actually pretty damn good game Orange Box of course Skyrim if not for the computer. Mass Effect series

t1g3rl1ly · 11 months

Castle Crashers. So much want.

Serbaayuu · 11 months

Someone else mentioned Tales of Vesperia. If you have any love for JRPGs, do it.

EuthanizedCracker · 11 months

Red Dead Redemption (GOTY if possible).

I'm gonna be honest, that's the only reason I got a console

AlexxxG12 · 11 months

I was running low on cash and had to sell my xbox 360 last year. The only games I miss are Bioshock and Nhl 2011. I wanna get another xbox, but paying 50+ for a game hurts.

thedrift · 11 months

Halo 3, Halo Reach.

Amazing storyline and campaign gameplay. The graphics never cease to amaze. You can play multiplayer for hours on end, both online and offline.

Oneinchwalrus · 11 months

Rayman Origins for platforming, Binary Domain for third person shooter, Alan Wake for a 'horror' action game, Viva Pinata for shits, LOTR War in the North for an RPG, Shadows of the Damned for a kick ass experience. All should be quite cheap now.

Mc_Gibblets · 11 months

I really suggest Borderlands. It's definitely one of the most unique and captivating games I've played in the last few years. So much so, that I constantly have dreams about it after playing it. You can get it fairly cheap by now, too.

Kloves · 11 months

Mirror's Edge. It is one of the most addicting games I have played.

thepinche · 11 months

Portal 2.

microbial2 · 11 months

If you're a sports guy, NBA 2k12 is awesome. Great Franchise-type game mode, and create-a-player. For shooters, Battlefield 3 no contest. RPG? Fallout 3 is awesome. Red Dead Redemption is also up there on my list. If you like racing, I suggest NFS: Shift (The first one!). Or Midnight Club LA. Finally, just messing around games? GTA IV brings hours of fun.

P.S.- Don't buy just one game, try to buy a multiplayer AND a single player game so you don't get bored. cough BF3 and Fallout 3 Cough

Charlemagne_III · 11 months

I'd buy a copy of Halo 3

I2obot · 11 months

Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Before I knew what Fallout even was, I googled something along the lines of nuclear games and found the series. Never looked back.

Just Cause 2. Incredible, beautiful map to fuck shit up on.

Skate 3. Countless hours spent just exploring the map and doing tricks.

GTA4. Too much fun on that.

necromundus · 11 months

Soul Calibur IV is a good fighting game available for Xbox (bonus character is Yoda). If you're into XBox live arcade I recommend Iron Brigade (by Double Fine, Tim Schafer's company) as well as Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.

Ironfudge · 11 months

GTAIV.

Rockstar's got so much swag in their style; their boldness really shines through their dope work.

TheCoxer · 11 months

Dark Souls. A game that shoves into the deep end faster than you can make out the first syllables of a long-winded "NOOOOOOOOOOO"

edmandarnditt · 11 months

The Fable series.

Brainless_Fin · 11 months

Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection?

Remilia_Scarlet · 11 months

Borderlands. That game was fucking awesome. I played that for HOURS. And if you're looking into forking over a little more money for the GOTY edition GET IT!!! It adds so much more content. Even new guns!

I_pee_u_chug · 11 months

PORTAL 2. SKYRIM. DANTE's INFERNO.

blink0r · 11 months

For me, it's definitely Ninja Gaiden 2. That shit is awesome.

[deleted] · 11 months

Halo CE anniversary is a great one, the amazing campaign mastered in HD and some multiplayer on the side, its also super cheap $20.00 at most places.
Gow 3 is a great campaign, and the multiplayer is the best yet.
Bioshock 1 is one of the best single player experiences out there, game will also be super cheap.
Arkham Asylum is a blast, I got mine new for $19.99 Beat it in the first 2 days I had it because of how fun it was.
Assassin Creed games are super popular, I've never played them though so I cant really say for sure.

[PROTOTYPE] it doesn't have THAT much lasting appeal but it is fun being the most overpowered person in gaming

Decyde · 11 months

Mod your xbox, download games online for free. Only downside is you cannot play on xbox live anymore. Buy a red ringed xbox online for less than $45, mod that and you got yourself every game for less than $45 ;p.
