Does Anyone Only Have 1 Game For The 360?
« on: May 16, 2006, 10:15:00 AM »

I was just wondering if there was anyone else in the scene who only has one game for the 360 like me. I bought the system just to play doa4 and havent seen any games that I can justify spending $60 on. (yes I work hard for the money).

TES4 Oblivion

It far above and beyond DOA4, DOA4 seems to have lost it shine after the first few weeks of play.

I had 1 game the day I bought the 360... then the very next day I bought 2 more  laugh.gif

yeah oblivion is one of the best games for the console, but I can completely understand why you'd go for the PC version over the 360 one. As for me my PC is getting close to 3 years old now so... it'd be hard pressed to produce Morrowind era graphics.  laugh.gif

I've really enjoyed PGR3, PGR3 and DOA4 where my two biggest reasons for getting the console.

Condemend is an awesome game as well, some say it's a bit short but it takes about 15-20 hours a play through, and I played through it twice. You can get a used copy for under $30 if you look around, I want to say BestBuy dropped their new price down to $45 or $50 IIRC. Probably my favorite game for the console so far.

You could always sign up for a rental service. $20 a month and you can have 2 games at once. That works out the the price of a new game every 3 months and you pretty much have full access to all the titles availalble.

I was thinking of Pickuping the pc version of Condemned since I like first person games better with a mouse and keyboard on the pc.

Graw was my only game for about a month.  I didn't buy another b/c I didn't even have the time for Graw.  Now I do so I got PGR3 as well and borrowed COD2 from a friend.

Burnout Revenge is worth the coin if you have an HDTV.  I also enjoyed Tomb Raider Legends immensely.  I'm a fan of the XBLA games too.  Geo Wars and Marble Blast Ultra are killer apps in my book...

its not if you try and get all achievements.

took me forever to get all birds and metal pieces(without a strat guide mind you), not to mention having to stop and pick up everything and use it as melee

I was checking stats and at the time(february), I was in the top 1,000 as far as spending the most hours playing it.

Problem is doa4 and certain games are not on the pc. I buy console exclusive games for the consoles.

Personally, I think Revenge is worth the additional sticker price.  The addition of Live features is totally worth it to me.  Not having an HDTV will hurt a bit, but I'd at least rent it.  

Geo Wars is really the best exclusive-not-expensive-non-PC-no-HDTV-required game (although I admit, I hate Geo Wars on an SDTV dry.gif).  

I prefer my console games to PC gaming, but Twisted is right, if you need to validate your purchase beyond DOA4, maybe the 360 isn't for you.

Are any of the other exclusive games worth playing?

Summer time is always going to be a slow time for games.  End of the year is always the best for games on every system.

Be patient and the games you can only get on the X3sexy will come.  They will be worth the wait.
