1. Call Of Duty2(offline only)
2. Oblivion (the Game of Games IMHO)
3. Tomb Raider
4. Condemned - Criminal origins
5. Fight Nights
6. Ghost Recon
Oblivion is my choice, sort of a true escape from reality without any chemical hangover experience.
Now COD2 was fun and required skill on the harder settings, but it was still kind of a striaght line to the end. Condemned would be second in line for the title, since it was like a good horror movie.
Have not played Tomb Raider.
And Fight Nights is like watching boxing on ESPN, sometimes you're really glad it only goes 15 rounds.

Games owned...

Oblivion
Recon
Condemned
CoD 2

...in that order  love.gif

with GUN, Kong and Quake 4 not far behind, I liked those 3 a lot more than expected.

TR Legend will be on the list if the rest of its as good as the demo smile.gif

Now to mention the others Ive tried(retail copies)...

PGR 3 [just couldnt get into it but no complaints]
Kameo [not my style but no complaints]
PD Zero [total hyped pile akin to Halo 2]
Madden [not a fan, played for 2 minutes, next]
DOA 4 [liked, will pick up when cheaper seeing as I only look at my wives and dont actually play it]

Demos played...

Fight Night [looked good but boring after 5 minutes]
Full Auto [bored after 2.5 minutes]
The Outfit [biggest of all piles, well, ties with NFS]
NFS [see above]
Ridge Racer [almost a big a pile as the 2 above]
Burnout [like PGR 3, couldnt get into it, no complaints though]

Ive played more demos but they dont register in memory bank right now, its filled with Oblivion goodness  laugh.gif

DOA4, looks cool plays ok but u really need to invest some long hours to be good.i got my ass wuppered online.
TIGER WOODS ,ok while playin with friends i got bored pretty quick in single player.online was lag city

CONDEMNED, from what ive played this game looks great, I then got pgr3........

PDZ ,ok i suppose single player just got a little boring, i couldnt bring myself to finish it.went back to pgr3. Online had a few good jetpack moments.

FIFA06, the only football game available unfortunately.ive enjoyed some good online matches but it needs the option to take ur friends with u co-op.

XBLA-
GEO WARS, ace i usually play a little just before turning off
Outpost Kaloki, good but cant be bothered
Marble Madness, good value but.....cant be bothered

Oblivion- Great Story, It pulls you in and never lets go!
GRAW- Excellent SP, and multi except for the ranked matches sometimes.
PGR3- Realistic very intense online.

I hate to say it, but I am really let down by the fact that almost every single game out for the 360 is a new installment of an old series.

Of course I love my Oblivion, DOA4, GRAW, etc, but I must say, playing a completely new game with new mechanics (Kameo) was a great experience.  Too bad it was soo short!

Anyways, I have to say that it would be so nice is some of these new franchises would hit the market

Gears of War, Huxley, etc.  I just want to play a game that I haven't experienced before.  The reincarnations are always good, but it would be nice to have some variety!

man it's too hard to choose, I really love just about ever game I've got for the system

Here are the games I own in the order I purchased them

Perfect Dark Zero LE
Condemned
Project Gotham Racing 3
Kameo
Dead or Alive 4
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
Amped 3
Ridge Racer 6
Call of Duty 2
Burnout Revenge
Oblivion

Out of the games I've completed here is how I'd rank them against each other
1. Condemned - AWESOME game, the story was fantastic, it was spooky as hell and I can't wait for the sequel. The game felt the perfect length too and had a great balance of achievements.

2. Project Gotham Racing 3 - Best Racing game I've ever played. Amazing graphics and it caters to my racing tastes perfectly sitting squarely in-between sim and arcade styles. I can't wait for the upcoming expansion!

3. Call of Duty 2 - I'm not an FPS fan and I'm not a WWII game fan but playing the demo on my setup really drew me in and after playing through the game on Veteran it was easily one of the most fulfilling gaming experiences I've had in a long time.

4. Dead or Alive 4 - Been a fan of the series since DOA1 hit the arcades. It was one of the reasons I bought the Dreamcast, one of the reasons I bought the Xbox 1 and one of the reasons I bought the Xbox 360. Easily the best DOA game to date, it would have been nice if they went a little further in areas but the graphics update and full roster alone was worth it to me.

5. Tony Hawks American Wasteland - Been a fan of this series since THPS1 hit the PSX. not a system seller for me (since you can get it on any platform) but I really enjoyed it, the 360 version is easily the best looking version I've ever played, it might not be the best TH game ever but I had lots of fun playing it. There are a lot of things it could have done better but my biggest complaint was thatjust... too short.

6. Amped 3 - never really played the other Amped games but this one was lots of fun, I'd almost say it tied with THAW. Again my biggest complaint was that it was too short, it took me less then 14 hours to complete the whole game.

7. Kameo - lots and lots of fun, probably one of the best looking games for the console so far. Again, too short. This game might have been higher on the list if the story was a bit more interesting or if the puzzles challenged me more. Game play and graphics were top notch though.

Out of the games I haven't yet completed, here is how I'd rank them against each other
1. Oblivion - Amazing graphics, fantastic story so far and just massive environments.

2. Burnout Revenge - tons of fun, smashing stuff never gets old, lots of challenges laid out in the game too.

3. Perfect Dark Zero - seems pretty interesting, I'm having a hard time getting into it though. I'll get around to it some time when I get bored of my other games.

4. Ridge Racer 6 - it's alright, I only played the first few levels and the gameplay was pretty repetitive. My impression of this was fairly good until I played Burnout which does everything this game does but much much more not to mention it does it better then RR6 could ever hope to do.

OK first i'll say that i didn't test all of the games, but i guess i didn't miss that much by looking at some opinions i've seen.

My Top is this.

1- Condenmed- the first one to play on my box, only for that deserves the title, but it has a whole lot more, the genre it's my favorite one, the grafics the storyline, i know some of you will say that is short and linear but is my choice cool.gif
2- PGR3- not beeing a fan of racing sims, this one deserves the time spent on playing, and will last forever...
3- Farcry- i've played the pc version,xbox1 version, and can't get enough of it...so let´s finish it again(with the bonus of 2in1 game) tongue.gif
4-Graw- sorry for the ones that are addicted to this huge title, but i've hadn't played enough to give a better score...maybe in a couple of weeks it goes up in the chart biggrin.gif
5- Bankshot Billiards- simply addicted to this one.... love.gif


PD0-  sleeping.gif ....i need more than that
FNR3- is there anything more easy than this...finished in a couple of hours sleeping.gif

MORE TO COME....

SEE YA

1. kameo...looked and played great.  i can't understand how this game was rated so low

2. dead or alive 4...except for very difficult countering, it's fighting perfection

3.burnout revenge...a ton of fun but a bitch to get achievements offline

4. call of duty 2...a great single player experience

5. project gotham racing 3...addicting just like the previous 2

6. condemned...a sometimes frightening game, but a little repetitive killing the same druggies

7. oblivion...i think this will move up my list once i have more time for it

  1. pd0 - In my opinion it did the original justice, and is just too addicting on Live.
  2. G.R.A.W - Never played any other GR games, but I absolutely love this one. Don't like Live too much, but definitely great single player.
  3. Oblivion - Once again, never played any of the Elder Scrolls games, but god damn this is fucking awesome.
  4. Kameo - An absolutely great adventure game from the best adventure game making people; Rare. biggrin.gif
    Reminded my a lot of Banjo and Conker, but was fresh and original.
  5. Quake 4 - Shits all over Doom 3, 'nuff said
Edit: Oh, and my purchase order.
  1. Perfect Dark Zero
  2. Perfect Dark Zero Limited Collector's Edition
  3. Quake 4
  4. Kameo
  5. G.R.A.W
  6. Oblivion Collector's Edition
