A good game if no one has mentioned it yet is Limbo, You said you like pc more, so mass effect is out of the question, Dragon Age is better on PC as well...
Rainbow Six Vegas, the online is pretty good, probably still a large terrorist hunt community out there, Viva pinata is good if your into that sim city kind of thing, I'm sure people will mention other good games that are out there.

I'd advise selling it and buying a PS3, clearly if you hate GoW and Halo, the 2 main series of games on the 360 you may as well have just got a PS3, it would really have made much more sense.

I dont like GoW and I stopped playing halo a long time ago and I still like my 360


OT: Condemned: Criminal Origins is a great game, the bioshocks (I like both 1 and 2), Alan Wake was good as well. I also play Borderlands( get the GOTY edition) but only get it if you have someone to play it with imo. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was a fun game as well.

side note maybe get netflix as it adds alot more the the 360 in general, especially with the new layout comming soon.

The best 360 games are the Mass Effects, Arkham Asylum, and Red Dead Redemption.

 

[mechanixis]

Mass Effect is mandatory. And don't you DARE play the second one first, so help me god.

I'd also recommend Saints Row 2 above Prototype. Prototype is fun and all, especially if you're in a bad mood, but Saints Row 2 is always fun, no matter how you're feeling, and lasts forever.

I would recommend Monday Night Combat and Comic Jumper in terms of Arcade Goodness and Alan Wake or Split/Second for Normal Games.

Crackdown 2 is worth a look. And red faction is good to.
arcade wise Toy soldiers and marval vs capcom 2 is worth a look.

These are good games, also Limbo and Left 4 Dead. Great games

Well I just got a 360 Slim for my Bday (my first Xbox-ANYTHING)
and because we couldn't out and out afford a real "game" we bought me some MS points (because I REALLY wanted Castle Crashers)

so my question for you is

What's a good 360 game?

now my few rules

nothing fallout (because I prefer computer for that)
nothing halo or gears (I hate halo and gears)

and I already plan on getting MvC3 and the new Castlevania (and sonic 4... *cough*)

so what's your favorite?

ALSO!
if any of you are huge Castle Crasher fans, be sure to let me know, once I get XBL for a month I really need to group up with some crashers (I can get from level 1 to level 40 in about an hour)

EDIT: oh and people, I'm a bit of an Arcade addict, so XBLA games are the right way to go!

you hate Halo and Gears within 24 hours of getting an xbox??

OT: You should give them a go, but I would say the L4D series, they are awesome to play
Others would be Bioshock 1 & 2, and Metro 2033. Dead Space if you are into horror and Forza 3 for a good racing game.

The Call of Duty series are also all great as well.

I'd advise selling it and buying a PS3, clearly if you hate GoW and Halo, the 2 main series of games on the 360 you may as well have just got a PS3, it would really have made much more sense.

other then the fact that no one here has a PS3, and that they're $200 more then a 360 slim, and that there ARE XBLA titles that I really want that ARE NOT ON THE PS3

so suggestion, stop being a PS3 dick in my forum, I said suggest a 360 game, not defend your overpriced console that has a joke of a motion control system and still can't seem to sell

I already have MvC2
Toy Soldiers I'll look at
Left 5 Dead 7 I'd prefer on computer
Limbo I've already explained... Too short a game for a $15 price tag

Everyone has mentioned it and again I'll say it

Too SHORT for it's $15 price tag (plus oddworld on the PS1 was way better)

Go to XBLA and get Shadow Complex immediately! Not just good for an XBLA game, good for an XBOX game. Other than that there ar tons of mainstream AAA titles we could throw at you, but it all comes down to personal choice. I for example loved Mirror's Edge, The Force Unleashed and Borderlands. You might not, but I think these are worth checking out. Bad Company 2 is good for some online FPS fun. Psychonauts is a great original XBOX game avaliable for download.

Have fun

Played the shadow complex demo and LOVED IT!
thanks for the suggestion

Fair enough, and if no one else has said these,
Splosion man, Shadow Complex and Comic Jumper are good (although i've only played the trials of the last 2)

And Hydrophobia is supposed to be quite good, personally i found nothing special about it, althought the trial doesn't contain much.

Viva Pinata.
Seriously.
I'm a 15 year oold boy and I love it.
My 10 year old sister loves it.
My 15 year old friends love it.
My 19 year old brother loves it.

Everyone loves Viva Pinata.
Even Chuck Norris.

1) you just lost that credability with the chuck norris comment
2) I'm 18 not 15... and trust me THERE'S A DIFFERENCE (I would know... 3 years ago RE4 made me go "ew" now I play Madworld and laugh)

I admit the Chuck Norris comment was a bit random but I would seriously recoommend checking out Viva Pinata. I did say my brother like it. Just borrow it off a mate or rent it or something. It's amazing!

Nice try, but I spend more time on my 360 than I do on my PS3, a lot of the users of The Escapist have PS3's and a PS3 is not $200 more than a 360 slim. Really that makes your entire point invalid. So let me get this straight, you bought it for XBLA games that you already know you want? Then why are you asking what games you should get? Surely when you buy a console you look at what games are out and then decide whether the console is what you are after.

All you seem to be doing is complaining about whatever anyone says and rejecting the ideas without ever playing the game which is just ignorant and arrogant. Like the person saying Viva Pinata, you just dismissed it because he's 15, well I'm 18 and I enjoyed Viva Pinata, I know people in their 20's who liked that game, but you're probably going to try and come up with something witty and call me a dick again for saying something that you reject because you're not willing to give it a try on a thread all about you trying new stuff?

Also ragging on Playstation move when Kinect is coming out, all I can say is as much as I detest motion controls over all at least Move is responsive.

Also it's not your forum it's your thread and it's open which means I am allowed to spill my opinions whereever I feel like, if you don't like that then don't post on a public forum.

Arcade Titles - Limbo, Shadow Complex, Trials HD.
All are AMAZING!

Exclusives - Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Halo: Reach(I know you said you don't like Halo but it really is a fantastic shooter), Gears 2(seriously, same story its fucking awesome).

Multiplats - Bioshock, Saints Row 2, Red Dead Redemption, Dragon Age: Origins, GTA4.

All of those are pretty much essential, I am sure I am missing a few but I can't remember any more as I have a habit of giving my games to my friends and then forgetting about them )
