I need good 360 exclusives of the last 6 years, start naming them. I just got Halo 3, Fable 2 and Crackdown super cheap. I will get ME1, Alan Wake, all Gears. Whats the consensus on Banjo?

It's great. Fuck the haters. It's the best thing Rare have done since being bought by Microsoft.

The Forza games are pretty rad - though I'd go for Forza 4 at this point. Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia are also definitely worth checking out.

Then there's Gears, which I shouldn't need to sell you on.

^ Kameo.

Kameo was good. It's also less than $5 now, which makes it a steal.

Another good game is Perfect Dark Zero, and it's only $2 at Gamestop, Vader.

I thought Viva Pinata was the best thing since Rare turned green?

My god it is so much cheaper to buy games like this. I got 5 games for less than $30 so far.

Yeah you're going to get insane deals on very good games. Try to hunt fown Forza 3 and Lost Odyssey while you're at it.

Yes this. Lost Odyssey is, IMO, a better RPG than FF13....really, its got that old school FF10 amazing vibe to it.

You have a solid games lineup already man you're gonna be bust for a long time!

Let's see, you have

• Halo 3
• Halo Reach
• Fable 2
• Fable 3
• Viva Pinata
• Banjo 3

Is that all so far? Yeah your next games IMO should be:

• Lost Odyssey
• Halo ODST
• Halo Wars
• Mass Effect 1
• The Gears games.
• Alan Wake too.

As for Perfect Dark Zero....I hated it at 1st, then grew to really like it. Its kind of dated at this point though so I don't know that you'll appreciate it....its not on the same level as the 1st game.

OH AND GET HALO ANNIVERSARY.....ITS AMAZING.

High praise indeed.

It was. It is. Don't care for Banjo or whatever. Don't give a shit about Rare "selling out" to Microsoft. They'll always get a free pass from me because of Viva Pinata. I'm biased, of course, since I'm a huge fan. I own Viva Pinata (TWO copies), VP: Trouble in Paradise, VP: Party Animals and the whole TV series on DVD.

Even though I had a growling and shitty time at work, today is a really good day!  My sexy 3DS arrived in the post along with Ocarina of Time (can't wait to get Mario Land at the end of the month when I get paid) - it is now hooked up on its cradle receiving its virging charge.  I also received in the post a parcel of records from Detroit which I ordered over two months ago and which I couldn't wait to get my hands on.  And the best thing of all, my sister has given birth to a healthy baby girl.

Hope y'all are having as good a day as I am.

Congrats on the new niece.

Will get Halo eventually. I have Perfect Dark and NG2, I have had them for years.

As for FF, um I think FF13 is better than FF10. I dont want old school FF10 like RPGs, the more like FF12 (or 7 or 8 ) the better.

SteelAttack said:

Does not compute. FF 7 and 8 are by the book, old school jrpgs. Random encounters, turn based battles, grind-heavy. If you liked FF 7 and 8, you're going to like LO. FF 12 is a different beast.
