I have only just got xbox live...

[ProtoChimp]

Any suggestions for some good multiplayer games other than Halo reach because I'm getting that anyway? Any cool indie games I should get? Do people still play castle chrashers? Is it better to download games or buy them retail? What the hell is Halo Waypoint? Should I even bother getting TF2 for xbox, seeing as in my PC just doesn't like gaming at all and I heard Valve have just completely abandoned the consoles in terms of TF2? And yes I know I should get the orange box but the Half Life series never blew me off my feet (played it on a different PC before it died) and I don't think Portal can stand alone seeing as in I like really long games (please don't yell at me for not conforming to the church of Valve).

Also I'm getting Dead Rising 2 for christmas (I know a long way away) and I was wondering if I should get case zero. I liked Dead Rising 1 and I played about 10 minutes of 2 and really liked it and I was wondering; Can you get combo cards other than the ones in Case 0 in your first 5 levels in DR2? Is it random like the other levels or is it set for just the first 5 levels?

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Call of Duty titles, Red Dead Redemption, Medal of Honor, if you're into those styles.

I don't buy indie games, but try some of them out, they're all free to trial.

I couldn't say, but if you enjoy Castle Crashers then buy it.

I'd say retail but it's open to debate.

Halo Waypoint is for big Halo fans, but it is free and unlocks armor and avatar props so it's worth a download.

You can't get TF2 outside of The Orange Box and it's worth buying definitely, and yes Valve have abandoned it, this doesn't make it unplayable, it just means you may have to bounce few a through servers until you find a good one.

Case Zero provides some backstory and some unlockables for DR2. If you have 400msp to spare and you enjoy Dead Rising games then I'd say go for it. It's a good buy.

All the combo cards you get in Case Zero include a few you get in the first 5 levels of DR2 and a few that you wouldn't get until later on.

I don't know if people still play Castle Crashers online, but I don't regret buying it at all, great fun even if you're only playing 2 player local.

As for what games to get, Forza has a great online community of where you can watch videos and buy (using in game cash) custom cars and paint jobs.

Also if you're into sports then the obvious ones like Madden, Fifa/Pro Evo are great for multiplayer.

Indie games are great, although there are some terrible ones out there. Ones I have and can recommend are Platformance: Castle Pain (super hard precision platform game), Applejack (sort of a platform/puzzle game), Breath of Death (an RPG where all the characters are undead creatures) and Solar (an open universe game where you play as a star trying to create a solar system). As GamesB2 said, they all have demos so just try them out.

I still play castle crashers, and I suggest you check out some arcade titles.

I had fun playing Horde on Gears 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

don't take notice of call of duty fans, the call of duty games are really boring. Try red dead redemption, GTA IV, gears of war 1&2, dead rising 2, rainbow six vegas 2, ghost recon advanced warfighter 1&2, borderlands. There is a few others but I forgot.
