What awesome older games for the 360 would people recommend? I need something good, and just finished Deus Ex recently (it's the only game I've bought new in months).
Resident Evil 5. I've played through this game so many times now and I still enjoy it.

Resident Evil 4 is now on XBLA. It's exactly like Resident Evil 5, except single player. Play both of them, they're great.

Fallout 3 GotY Edition. It's cheap now.

Fallout New Vegas. You can pass on the first 2 DLCs. Old World Blues is good, and I haven't played Lonesome Road yet so I can't comment on that. The GotY edition of New Vegas is coming out soon, but you don't really need the first 2 DLCs so you should just buy the regular game for $20 and get a DLC or 2 and end up paying less than the GotY edition.

Halo: ODST

Halo Wars

Halo 3

Gears of War 1 is like $10 used at Gamestop. The campaign is fun, although the multiplayer is just a laggy inconsistent shotgun fest. Would have been cool if the game was based around actually using the cover system instead of shrugging off whole assault rifles magazines while sprinting up to someone to 1 shot kill them with the shotgun. Imagine if the only weapons in Halo were the Plasma Rifle and the Shotgun, one useless gun that tickles your opponent and one that one hit kills everything within 10 feet of you. That's pretty much what Gears' multiplayer is.

Re: What Video Game are you Currently Playing?

Really cannot wait for Star Wars the Old Republic to come out. Just amazing the amount of story Bioware has managed to work into an MMO, Unique and personal storylines for the 8 classes, 40 companion characters, again with each class having 5 unique to them, that are integral to the game and story, and a focus on the game being important from level 1, instead of only endgame being important.

Dec 20th, can't get here fast enough.

Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating!

Re: What Video Game are you Currently Playing?

Played quite a bit of Dark Souls this weekend. Really starting to get the hang of it. Currently killed by Quelog, but that'll change soon enough.

And to take a random pot shot, the Gears 1 campaign is HORRIBLE. Those stupid bat things are the dumbest game idea ever and ruin pretty much the entire thing. Entire boards of insta-death sections, those hilariously bad driving sequences where you shine a flashlight on them between really boring driving mechanics, and of course, the last boss and his stupid cheap bats kill you randomly garbage. Now Gears 2 has one of the best campaigns this generation, so.... I'd start there personally.

Something I've found to be true is that, in general, matchmaking multiplayer games are only fun for about 18 months after the release. After that most of the average players have moved on and the only people still playing online are the ones who are *really* good. Combine that with a small population of players and it's a recipe for getting totally pwned unless you happen to be *really* good at games like that.

And, yes, the Kryll levels on GOW 1 were some of the worst I've played through. "Seriously? We've got a truck that can't drive and shoot at the same time? No wonder we're losing this war."

Why can't we just nuke these mole people again? Why are the humans even losing in Gears? We have orbital lasers and helicopter gunships and heavy tanks and whatnot, and they have the some ****ty 1940's army with some sword guys thrown in. Like WTF. The Covenant in Halo have energy shields on their large spaceships that can take 2 or 3 blasts from giant slugs launched from giant magnetic accelerator cannons, and the Locust has some shield guys with flails. >_>

And it's not just Gears 1 multiplayer that's like that. It's Gears 2 and Gears 3 (although Gears 3 fixed the lag problem, dedicated servers FTW). It's not really player skill that I'm complaining about, it's how binary the multiplayer game play is. Either you instant gib them with the shotgun or have to spray whole assault rifle magazines into people and just not get kills.

Everyone who still plays Call of Duty 4 on 360 now is terrible. Every game you have 1 or 2 good people, and then a bunch of bad players feeding the 1 or 2 good people. But yeah, generally that's true. Whatever, more kills for me.

Pro tip: Hook you Xbox 360 up to your modem directly for a better connection than everyone else.

Re: What Video Game are you Currently Playing?

So conflicted right now. Because of some stupid management at work, I now have to work Friday and Saturday and thus cannot visit my family for Thanksgiving for the entire weekend.

However, now I will be home and can play the weekend stress test beta for The Old Republic.
