My time has come! And I have bought...the 360...

[Soma Holiday]

Yup, saw Dead Rising and couldn't resist hehehe...so far I'm impressed, though I did have a time setting it up haha...I bought Dead Rising and DOA4, both of which are extremely fun thus far...but I wanna get some more games...any reccommendations? I was gonna go for Kameo and PDZ, are they worth it?

*happy dance*

600 bucks spent so far...oh well!! :D

[Lenochka]

:jmp: your a crazy woman soma! Im happy your happy hehe :D Go on with yo bad self :ohn:

[Andromeda66]

Heh Congratulations. :D

[Angelx14]

:jmp: your a crazy woman soma! Im happy your happy hehe :D Go on with yo bad self :ohn:

She is a female??:o

Congrats on..well..that what you bought there.:D

[Mad Tony]

You should have waited a little while and got a PS3, that's what i'm doing.

[Soma Holiday]

Well, PS3 has no Gears of War...so...:/ :p

and yes, I am a female lol. :?

[Lenochka]

She is a female??:o


I beleive so... if i remember correctly.

[Shark_Blade]

360 is worth the money too imo :)
yes, Gear of war exclusive too:p

[Greenkey2]

Good grief, $600?! :eek:

I hope you get your money's worth Soma :wve:

[interstellardave]

Kameo is a nice game... some say it's short but not if you're into doing all the side quests and such... if you just play through the main story and do little else than it will be pretty short, I hear (I haven't finished it yet, myself).

Also: If you liked Legend then you might want to see it on the 360 (gorgeous). Call Of Duty 2 is awesome for single-player, and I hear that online multiplayer is better now (it was problematic at first). Oblivion, of course, and I personally also enjoy Top Spin 2 and Burnout: Revenge if Tennis and Racing interest you.

[Soma Holiday]

Well I bought the system...$400
then an extra controller.....$30
Dead Rising.....................$50
DOA4.............................$60
2-year warranty..............$50

so...............................$590

but this is what I've been saving up for, so now I can put money in the bank for good...hopefully haha...

[Tomb Raider Jay]

If you have a 360 you should get Oblivion, it's the only game on the console worth having right now :)
You should get Kameo, it has the best graphics on the 360 at the moment! :D

Do you like DOA 4? :confused:

[UNDERTAKER]

You've made a good choice Soma :tmb:

I recommend:

Kameo - Fun platformer with gorgeous graphics!
Oblivion - if you like RPGs
Call of Duty 2 - Excellent WW2 shooter

If you are on Xbox Live you can download numerous demos from the marketplace. You can sign up for free silver membership.

You may also wanna try King Kong and Tomb Raider Legend if you can pick them up cheap (if only to experience the better graphics).


Within the next few months you can look forward to Saint's Row, Gears of war, Mass Effect, Smackdown and many more! :D

[interstellardave]

Also, don't forget you can find demos of a lot of games on Xbox Live (you only need the free membership that comes with the system to download demos and game videos).

[Soma Holiday]

I'd thought about Oblivion, but I didn't like the original Morrowind, so I don't think I'd like it...and Legend...wasn't good enough to buy again IMO...what about PDZ?

[Soma Holiday]

I LOVE DOA so far...Ryu and Ayane are so cool...anywho...I'll have to get Kameo then...I'm not into war games, so call of duty...eh...

I can't get xbox live though...no high-speed internet. :(

[interstellardave]

I'd thought about Oblivion, but I didn't like the original Morrowind, so I don't think I'd like it...and Legend...wasn't good enough to buy again IMO...what about PDZ?

A lot of people didn't like Morrowind, yet like Oblivion. It's quite a bit improved.

[UNDERTAKER]

I didn't like Oblivion. Too 'hardcore RPG' for my tastes.

PDZ has got mixed reviews. Check out the review on Gamespot and IGN and make up your opinion :)

[Tomb Raider Jay]

I rented PDZ and I didn't like it :(

It's like Halo but you can roll around in the third person and thats about it.
The graphics are uber shiny too, with the odd rough patch here and there :)
If you like Halo you might like PDZ but if you just go into it with low expectations then you may be surprized ;)

Oblivion is brilliant! You have this huge world to explore, freedom at it's best!
I was alittle shocked at first actually, I had no idea the game COMPLETELY free-form but it's great because you go where-ever you want to and do what you like. The storys not so good, but it's the exploration and adventure aspect that most people have bought the game for anyway :p
The graphics are good but when your exploring the world there's alot and I really do mean ALOT of pop-up, everything from grass to rocks to houses and even trees just magicaly appear from no-where, it's really quite sad because the rest of the game looks great :(
Still it's a must have game :D

Edit:
I see you liked DoA, Kasumi and Ryu are my favourites!
Some people say it's too hard, what do you think?

[Soma Holiday]

I love DOA 4 so far, though I've never played a DOA before so it's hard for me, but I'm getting better...the graphics are amazing, even though the storylines make NO sense at all haha...its fun though. :)

As for Oblivion, has the fighting system changed? That's the reason I hated the first one so much...the fighting was hard and too spastic with the swinging and all...

Yeah the storys are weird but the endings are funny, I love Li Fangs :)
I'm really looking forward to DOA 5, the characters and storys are suposed to be changing alot!
Graphics in DoA have always been brilliant, but DoA 4 has just pushed them to spectacular!

Well I haven't played Morrowmind but the fighting in Oblivion is through the first person perspective, you have a shield on your left and a sword or other weapon on the right and the triggers are used to attack, it's kind of like Chronicles of Riddick but RPG style, if that makes any sense! :p
The fighting is fun but it does get dull but the adventure aspect is always there and it's amazing! :D

Do you like Splinter Cell because Double Agents coming out soon :jmp:

[interstellardave]

Oblivion has the option of using 3rd person perspective too...

[Spitfire]

Soma, you went ahead and did what I am going to do real soon because of Dead Rising too!
I can't hold out anymore and the Xbox360 looks so awsome. My cousin had but he's in another state and i when i visited him and played it...i fell inlove...
So I'm going to get one soon too, awsome you took the jump! :tmb:

Oh and i LOVE DOA4, i got my cousin the year of Xbox live...ok so i did it because i wanted to play DOA4 while i was up there but OMG it's so much fun!!! Favorite character is Ayane, i own with her :D

I really enjoyed COD2, Hitman was extremely fun, Tomb Raider Legend, and PDZ Were all really great games that he had and i played.

Lucky you got to play dead rising...I'm still waiting :(
And Gears of war looks to be a must have!

[interstellardave]

I'll be playing Dead Rising all this weekend! :yah:

And I've heard industry folks say that Gears Of War will be the best-looking game released this year; it will be some time before any PS3 game touches it too!

[Tomb Raider Jay]

Oblivion has the option of using 3rd person perspective too...

I forgot that :D
But it's uber 'pop-up city' in the 3rd person perspective though :(

I wonder if Assassin's Creed is coming to the 360, it's supposed to be a PS3 exclusive again - anyone know?

I think the days of exclusives are dead, well except maybe Final Fantasy that'll never come Xbox 360 :(

Assassin's Creed looks like a timed PS3 exclusive. The 360 version will release a few months after the PS3 one.

Final Fantasy 11 is in stores for Xbox 360 right now ;)

[Alive_and_Funky]

Congratulations! I'd love an Xbox 360, so many games I'd like for it, including Dead Rising!

You should have waited a little while and got a PS3, that's what i'm doing.


No offense or anything, but do you always have to bring that up whenever someone buys an Xbox 360?

[interstellardave]

HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN!!!

Battle For Middle Earth 2 a real-time strategy game done right on a console. Read the reviews and such, it's a really good game! I'm in the middle of the "Good" campaign right now...

[Tomb Raider Jay]

Final Fantasy 11 is in stores for Xbox 360 right now ;)

Oh right, thanks for that info! :tmb:

You know I've been thinking it's been almost 5 years since the last real FF game was released which was FFX - excluding FF11 because it's online only and FFX-2 was a sequel.

But I was really meaning like Final Fantasy XII for PS2 or XIII for the PS3 - neither those nor future FF games will ever come to the 360 :(

Favorite character is Ayane, i own with her :D


OMG, she's my favorite too! I liked her alot with the spinning and all, but once I realized she was from Ninja Gaiden, I absolutely love her haha...her fighting is really good too lol.

and Ryu is awesome just because he's Ryu...and the assassin girl...alot of them actually. :D But the Spartan has to be the best! hahaha...
