Quote from: BatchYeh I agree. Sony should have put the console at £299.99 at least, and also released the PS3 a year before.

Anyway, back to what games I should get..

Is Bioshock worth getting? I heard critical acclaim for this on all sites and magazines.

Its good but I was not keen, tbh Halo 3 is days away, get something else and then get that when it comes out, You could even get halo 1 and 2 and play through them so your all clued up for it, seen halo for like £4, and halo 2 for 5-10

Already preordered halo 3

you actually list some of the weaker games out there on the XBox.  Dead Rising is good for an occasional blast of stupidness but its a tough game to get into single player.


You probably want to be looking at Bioshock, Gears of War, Forza/Project Gotham as musts.  The new halo etc will be along in a bit plus some others.  Have a dig around on xbox live for the small games like Cloning Clide.  Some of them are VERY good.  Sure theres a few lists of them on these forums already.

Great thing about Xbox Live, most games have demos available.  The best thing to do is check out reciews for games that tickle your fancy and then get the demo.

I bought a 360 mag which had a book free which reviewed the XBLA games available (apart from a few that was released recently like Streets of Rage 2 and Sonics 1 and 2). Ill be using that to pick out the best XBLA games to get.

You watch or read a view to see if it is in the good or crap pile but you need to play them and DH is Right, Live is brilliant as everything, even arcade games has a demo to download for you to try it out. tiger woods has almost got me buying it for example, if it was not for the fact other games I want and  funds how they are I would have bought it allready

Will try them - however, some games Ill be getting without trying such as Smash TV, Uno, Texas Hold Em, Sonics 1 and 2 and Bankshot Billiards 2. Others Ill try out.

tbh, with Live Arcade games there is no difference between the Dmeo and the full version, they are the same file.  You can download the demo, decide to buy it and it will "download" the full version almost instantly as all it does is unlock it.

Bankshot Billiards is still one of the most expensive games on Live Arcade...  Although, I think I remember saying you have played it already.

Yep. I have played Bankshot Billiards 2. A good game.

What is the limit of people you can add to your friends list on the 360?

I think its 200, but am not 100% on that.

If thats true, then thats cool cos its way more than the PS3 which only allows 50!! Thanks for the friend request earlier TheMallRat

If you like Gran Turismo then definitely get Forza 2. Brilliant models/tracks and damage is very realistic.

Im pretty much addicted to it right now

Havent looked into PGR4 yet. I have 3 although got bored of it pretty fast, too arcade like for my tastes.

Gears, COD4, Bioshock, Pro Evo 08 and Halo3 should also be on your list.

Bioshock is stunning - Id highly recommend it. Also Forza 2, MoH Airborne and Call of Duty 3. Prey is a lot of fun for less than a tenner too!

4 looks better with more modes and has bikes but still arcadey, I do miss the first as it was far less arcade like and with every version it has got more and more arcade like
