I don't play sports games so I can't personally recommend any, however there arn't much more then 1 game per sport available (with the exception of basketball) so if you like a particular sport... then you only have one option, rent it and if you like it buy it... it's really a no brainier.

I don't think Tomb Raider is that short. I mean heck there are quite a bit of levels but you have to get all bronze silver and gold items to get all achievements smile.gif

Thanks for all the feedback guys, went ahead and went with the ol gutt.

Always liked the Tom clancy's since Playing Rogue Spear/Urban ops etc and on so I went with Ghost Recon ADV warfighter. Not big on the old story based shooters etc.

Also went ahead and got Top Spin 2 over Fight night played the demo and all though I liked it and am not big on boxing.

I also yearned for a racer so I went with PGR3.

As for oblivion I almost bought it just to try it out but decided not to as I play EQ2/Monk sometimes and didn't want to start up another RPG. Although it does looks nice.

So I ended up getting:

MS Wireless network adapter
MS Wireless controller
GRAW
PGR3
Top Spin 2

old games:

DOA4
PDZ Limited/tin edition

As for demoing or renting any I couldn't really like I said just got my xbox back after a month and finally got all my stuff set up wirelessly. 360 came in like a few days ago and is still sitting in the plastic lol. Plus i'm not big on any sports genre really was looking for the best and to me and reading reviews none really struct me as great except FN so i'm gonna hold off.

Top Spin 2 should hold me over anyways, the first one did.. and I'm not even big on tennis.

I also plan to just wait and dnag up used copies of tomb raider, kameo etc later on. Also wanna try out condemmed.

Anyways thanks for input cheers beerchug.gif
