Recommend me a game

[Rapamaha]

so ive been looking for a new game to buy but so far I havent found anything to peek my interest.
So im asking you guys/girls what would you recommend for me?

here are few things I want from a game:

- XBOX360 platform
- over 20 hours of gameplay
- singleplayer
- decent story to keep me going
- not a sports/racing game

here is some games I allready own & like to give you some idea what im looking for:

- Red Dead Redemption
- GTA4
- Mass Effect 1&2
- Dragon Age 1&2
- Fallout 3 / New Vegas
- Gears of War 1 & 2
- Final Fantasy 13
- Fable 2 & 3
- Brutal Legend
- Mafia 2
- Force Unleashed 1 & 2

I could recommend Far Cry 2.
30 hours single player. Only problem is the story can get a bit loose, and repetitive.
Looks fantastic and plays well. Typical Cry Engine AI though.

However I enjoyed it and I have played/liked most of the other games on your list.

Tales of Vesperia is really good. That's all I got.

Bioshock

EDIT: to ensure 20 hours of gameplay, play all the non-japanese games on hardest setting. Also, if you bum rush to the finish and don't do side quests, ignore AssCreed series and Batman.

Halo series won't give you 20 hours of singleplayer but will give you a weekend of Co-Op fun. But if you don't want co-op then play them on legendary and if you're excellent at FPS it should provide about 10 hours. Maybe less.

Alan Wake,
Assassins Creed 1, 2 & broho,
Batman Arkham Asylum,
Bioshock,
Dead Space 1 & 2,
Halo 2, 3, ODST, & Reach,
Enchanted Arms,
The Last Remnant,
Infinite Undescovery.

Edit: Saint's Row 2

From your list I can see you like open-world and RPGs. I'd go for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion or wait for Skyrim. I also recommend getting Duke Nukem Forever when it is released.

I second Oblivion seeing as you liked Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

It just slipped my mind because I didn't like it. (I didn't like FO 3 and didn't even borrow FO NV)

For open world games Just Cause 2 doesn't get more open.

Well if you don't mind going a little bit old I highly recommend Psychonauts which was an original Xbox game, but can be found on the Xbox marketplace like 10 bucks I think, but it may have gone down since I last had a 360. Psychonauts is the same company that did Brutal Legend and it is as good, if not better, than that game. Full of humor and awesome gameplay. Tim Schafer at his finest imo.

Another game is Ninja Gaiden (original Xbox & on marketplace) and Ninja Gaiden 2 (360). Its a really good ninja game with a good challenge level (extremely hard at times though). The 1st Ninja Gaiden has two versions: the regular and Ninja Gaiden Black. Black is quite a bit easier than the original and I believe you get some extra things or something too.

And finally, I know you said Xbox platform, but I want to recommend Persona 3 for PS2 as an amazing jRPG that anyone with at least some interest in that genre should play. I got hooked within the 1st 30 mins or so.

EDIT(s): I made many of them

Get the first Bioshock.

thanks for replys guys, most of the games however you have suggested so far I have tried / borrowed from a friend. I havent tried Alan Wake / Dead Space games, Ive heard Alan Wake is abit too short & Dead Space feels like a game where you are the only character ingame and would propably get more frustrated with it rather than enjoy it

Give Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Lost Odyssey a try.

Bioshock

Ah yup. If you haven't played it pick it up. Bioshock 2 is iffy though.

 

[Scorekeeper]

-Oblivion
-Bioshock 1&2
-Alan Wake (not overly long but it has good DLC to lengthen the experience)
-Dead Space 1&2
-Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game.

Possibly one of the best Ecksblah games out there.
