So are there any good Xbox games?

[Spark Mandriller]

Like half this forum have 360s so you should know right?


(serious question!)

Lol!

3rd person shooters are the shit on xbox.

Can't wait for Gears 3, time to redeem the franchise.  Fable 3 might be good.  Halo: Reach is awesome (queue "Lawl halo" comments)...

The 360 has a pretty good catalogue but overall this gen is pretty weak compared to the last couple.

Halo reach is a great game, been playing it today :D. Analogue sticks do annoy me though, I can't count how many times in multiplayer I thought that, "if I were using a mouse, he would have died".

Couldn't disagree more.

Xbox games are great because they have a pick up and play design philosophy. This leads to games that are challenging and engaging.

I agree.

Oh for an update on my red ring of death- the towel trick worked for 30 minutes before it crashed again.  After doing it 4 times I gave up.  The system is now gathering dust in the basement.

I agree with that.   The aim assist annoys the shit outta me too.

Okay!!!

Not so okay, I can't aim for shit with a controller. We got anything else?

[Farley4Fan]

Well, they are the shit regardless of whether or not you are good at them.

Shooters are way too common this gen, and if you can't play shooters on a gamepad then you might be missing out on some good stuff.

If shooters are out of the question, then there are always hack n slash, racing games, sports games, and fighting games.  All are better suited to a controller imo

Got any recommendations? I've paid pretty much no attention at all to the 360 until now, so there's like half a decade of games out there that I know nothing about. I bought one so I could play scrolling shooters, but I'm thinking there are probably a few other games for it that I could stand playing. There any games that stand out as ones that everyone should have?

[Farley4Fan]

Well if you like scrolling shooters, the first one that pops into my head is Shadow Complex.  It's an arcade title in the realm of Metroid.  If you want a crazy shooter asteroid type game then try Geometry Wars 2.

Some more side scrollers games to download:

Limbo
Braid
Trials HD
Castle Crashers
Splosion Man

Not a bad list of retail games.

My fav retail games:

Mass Effect 2 (probably superior on PC but whatev)
Gears of War 1 (it's really too bad you don't like TPS)
Red Dead Redemption (seriously)
Dead Space (dude)
Ninja Gaiden 2 (super challenging, super rewarding)
Fable 2 (I liked it)
Crackdown 1 (seriously it's way better than 2)
Halo Reach
Forza 3
Left4Dead 1 and 2 (also superior on PC but not if you have friends on xbox)

I'll list some more later.
