Re: X-box 360

The hell?!? You get a lunchbox! Thats a nice little extra gift.

Re: X-box 360

Ya, there is an amazon.com even more special limited edition that includes a clock, but I don't care about a clock, just the lunchbox for work.

Also, on Tuesday I plan on buying The Darkness and Lost Odyssey. Both pre-owned (buy one get one half price) and with some saved up points I'll be getting Lost Odyssey for £14 (~$28) and The Darkness for free.

These games good though, or does anyone have any views on why I should look for different (similar) games?

Re: X-box 360

Darkness is pretty fun, get to do some cool ****, I think it's comic book based. Never finished it though. For free its a good deal. Have you played Crackdown? That was an awesome game in my opinion, kind of a GTA with a few super abilities game.

Re: X-box 360

I haven't had an Xbox 360 very long to be honest. I own:

GTA IV
Halo 3
Eternal Sonata
Blue Dragon
Assassin's Creed
Tony Hawk's Project 8
Top Spin 3

So any other game you can be sure I haven't played. At most I'll have watched a review at gametrailers or something. I guess my main question would be that if I looked for Crackdown would it be worth getting over The Darkness?

Re: X-box 360

Depends on game preferences more, I'd check out a couple vids/reviews.. Darkness is FPS, more impressive graphics, demons that eat hearts, minions, cool hellish/demonic stuff like that, slightly linear. Crackdown is a third person shooter, gradually increasing abilities (jumping [30ft+], run speed, driving, accuracy, explosion size), much more free roaming, like 800 collectible things (think packages in GTA but everywhere). I'd pick Crackdown over The Darkness but I'd recommend looking into it yourself first, not everyone likes it.

Other games to look into, maybe... Beautiful Katamari (just another Katamari) and Dead Rising (essentially Dawn of the Dead) but both can be repetitive. Mass Effect is good stuff too. Skate is fun if you like skateboarding, interesting controls that reinvent the skateboarding game and can make it bull**** hard if you can't get the hang of 'em.

Then may as well mention the other big hitters Call of Duty 4 (good single player, stellar multiplayer) and Gears of War (not a fan *shrug*).

Re: X-box 360

Crackdown > The Darkness

I'll have to re-watch a review of Crackdown to remember it. I know all about The Darkness, ever since I learned that Mike Patton does the voice of the demons / aliens thing that gives you all your powers.

Also, my preferences are RPGs but I tend to take notions to try other things like FPS or whatever when I want them.

Beautiful Katamari (just another Katamari)

Probably not.

Dead Rising (essentially Dawn of the Dead)

Is timed in almost everything, which doesn't really appeal to me.

Mass Effect is good stuff too.

I have looked at this and it's another one I could get for pretty cheap but I'm not sure. I don't know why but how it sounds in the long run doesn't seem that interesting to me. I'll probably end up getting it at some point though, just not on Tuesday.

Skate is fun if you like skateboarding

THP8 is fine. I'm more into just the bit of fun in playing rather than the complexity of pulling off a single ollie that Skate offers.

Call of Duty 4 (good single player, stellar multiplayer) and Gears of War (not a fan *shrug*).

I want CoD4, just is too expensive at the moment. But cheers for the suggestions man. I actually have a list of what I want at the moment:

CoD4 - £30 (amazon)
Fallout 3 - October 2008 (pre-ordered)
Resident Evil 5 - 2009
Infinite Undiscovery - September 5th 2008 - £30 (amazon)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (I can't find this anywhere).
Lost Odyssey - £15 (GAME)
Mass Effect - £18 (GAME)
Viva Pinata - £15 (GAME)
Rock Band - £130 (GAME)
Gears of War - £15 (GAME)
Ninja Gaiden 2 - £20 (GAME)

Condemned 2: Bloodshot.
Great horror game.

Re: X-box 360

First Condemned is MUCH better.

[Gano]

Re: X-box 360

Looks really good, but is pretty awful

[MrRubix]

Re: X-box 360

I recently bought a 360 and I still can't believe that I did. I got Halo 3 and Soul Calibur IV

Re: X-box 360

In response to is Jericho good:

Yeah I have to agree with Gano, I'm a big fan of Clive Barker's books but I have to say the game got pretty bad reviews all round.

Shame really.

[Zephyr57]

Re: X-box 360

I agree. Clive Barker's books are excellent, but Jericho was a disappointment.
