360 games for the pc gamer

  • Suggest some Xbox 360 games for a PC gamer! I have read some of the similar questions already asked, but my case is a bit different. I just bought an xbox 360 to satisfy my need to rock out with Rock Band, and now I'm looking for some other games to pick up. But... I have a sweet gaming PC that can handle anything coming out in the forseeable future, so I'm really not interested in any games I can play on the PC unless they happen to be fantastically better on the console. For reference, I have the Pro model and Xbox Live gold. I never had the first xbox so I am open to those games and also open to buying games through Live. No Halo please. :) Games I own: Rock Band Skate NHL 2K7 Games I am considering: Dead Rising Virtua Fighter 5 Games that are right out because I have them on PC, or I am planning on picking them up for PC when they come out: Guitar Hero 3 Gears of War Call of Duty 4 Bioshock Assassin's Creed Mass Effect Overlord I am very interested in picking up an RPG and at least one good fighting game. I am open to any genre. Please and thank you for all who can help with this far too specific request :)

    I'm not a RPG fan myself, but my buddy who lies and dies by RPGs says that http://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/b/bluedragonxbox360 and http://eternalsonata.namcobandaigames.com/ are the only good RPGs for Xbox 360. Oh, and while not in your genres of choice, the Katamari games are just freaking kickass. And you'll find nothing like them for PC.

Halo 3 isn't about the campaign, it's all about the multiplayer.

You can't go wrong with call of duty. 4 just came out and it is amazing.

If you want a good fighting game, wait until the summer when Soul Calibur IV comes out.

Halo 2 is all I played until Halo 3 came out. Halo 3 is all I played until Call of Duty 4 came out. I'm starting to long for Halo 3 again, but COD4 is still fantastic. I have a lot of fun playing first-person shooters on XBL. I dip back into Gears of War every now and then, but didn't play it much after beating the story mode. I am also a big fan on the NCAA football games, for the atmosphere more than anything else.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE6_5xH5e00&feature=related Available for download in the Xbox arcade for something like $6.99 I have probably put more time into this entertaining little game than just about any other game I own. With its two stick controls, it really can't be duplicated with a PC. Also, upon searching for the link, it looks like they are coming out with a new version as well.

Here's another vote for Dead Rising. It kicks serious ass. I played thru to the end (plus overtime mode, and infinity mode to 7 hrs) about a year ago and I am planning to replay again soon.

Assassin's Creed and Crackdown are both well done sandbox games, but somewhat repetitive. I would recommend both if you can get them at a discount. The former is quite impressive visually, while the latter has terrific gameplay qualities. BioShock and CoD4 are fun, though the former is superior in story-terms as well as length of play (as I recall, though I beat CoD4 with friends, and it may have seemed shorter as a result) and originality. Bypass Halo 3. The single player campaign is not even of average quality, in my book. If you want to buy classic games online, let me recommend Sid Meier's Pirates! and Psychonauts. These are fantastic games, if a tad dated. The latter is especially noteworthy; it is funny, original, and the gameplay is not bad (I have the PC version, and had to jerry-rig an old Xbox controller into a USB controller in order to properly enjoy the game - buying it on the Xbox marketplace will allow you to skip the middle part).

If you like NHL 2K7 you really should pick up NHL 08. I know, EA? But this one is... different. Rez HD is a must. Lumines Live too, if you're into that sort of thing (and don't have a PSP). There are a lot of gems on XBLA. And yes, seriously, get Burnout Paradise.

An RPG not to overlook is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Odyssey. It a classic slower-paced JRPG with a lengthy story. It's getting mixed reviews, but the art and story are top notch IMO.
