Well I've got a $55 Gift Card to Best Buy leftover from christmas, so I was wondering if anyone knew any good games?

Maybe some sword game, not prince of persia, like Assassins Creed or Zelda. I only have a PC and an Xbox 360..

Bioshock.

Omfg I love it so much.

Ace Combat 6.

Blacksite Area 51 is KIND of cool, really sucks though.

Dark Messiah, perhaps? I found it quite entertaining. It is similar to Oblivion, only, not as polished.

I have Bioshock, beat it already.

Not such a big fan of dog fights in the air. I was looking into Area 51, why does it suck?
EDIT:
Should've put this before.
Games I have:

Assassins Creed
Halo 3
Viva Pinata
BioShock
Gears of War
Dead Rising
Guitar Hero III

Get a good sports game as those always last for about a year. Or get Oblivion assuming you don't have it.

Gears of War is cool.
So is Crysis.
Oh, and Mass effect.

Oblivion
Call of Duty 4
Mass Effect
Orange Box
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War (get the one with the Winter Assault and Dark Crusade expansions)
Command & Conquer 3
Unreal Tournament 3
Universe at War

I was looking into Crysis for a while, but since the graphic requirements are higher than what I have.. thats a no-go. Well I can play the game it's just I'd have to play on medium/low.. And I'm mostly looking for an Xbox 360 game.

I've beat the main storyline and a lot of sidequests and whatnot in oblivion, it lasted for quite some months and now I've been playing it on-and-off. For the PC that is.



Well, I guess I'll go out and buy mass effect. It seems like a really nice looking game and fun to play, but I can imagine after a while of exploring it gets boring.

Sorry I'm not into 3d pr0n, I think I stated what I was looking for.

I checked out Prey and it seems pretty interesting, but I want something with pretty long 15+ hours singleplayer gameplay.

Well then you should look at the older games, 'cause all the new ones are more or less 10 hours long these days :/

Bastinka
December 29th, 2007, 07:26 PM
@ Caboose, actually the reviews say if you just rush through the storyline of mass effect its around 20 hours.. Which is pretty promising considering if you take things slow and complete all side missions, as I normally do.

FEAR collectors edition with the expansion packs. Amazing singleplayer!

Bastinka
December 29th, 2007, 07:36 PM
Ugh I should name all the computer games I've played/have.. But that list would be extremely long :X

So I'll list off a Few..

FEAR (And FEAR: Extraction Point)
Battlefield 2, 2142
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Halo
Halo Custom Edition
Halo 2
Homeworld 2

Theres many more, thats just what I picked out randomly.

Oh man, you'll have a field day.
Although some of the subquests tend to be a tad bland; "Go back to the hangar, grab this box, and bring it back." Pretty much it. But there are some damn actiony ones that can contribute to the plot, but aren't necessary; IE planets that you don't have to visit.

Well if the quote..

..every planet has its own unique atmosphere, from the very hostile planets with atmospheric differences and monsters on it, to the peaceful empty planets.
Is true, and if there are more than atleast 20 planets, I'll be one happy gamer.:)

Huero
December 29th, 2007, 08:28 PM
Plus, it has DLC; not all of the planets are explorable, unfortunately, but since they're adding totally new planets through DLC, I'd expect them to become playable in the future.

Bastinka
December 29th, 2007, 08:33 PM
What is this DLC you speak of?
But seriously, what does DLC stand for... I'm guessing Down Loadable Content.

This will be good news to me, since I upgraded from 256kbps down to 1500kbps down :]

Huero
December 29th, 2007, 08:35 PM
Yeah, DLC is downloadable content. And since you probably won't notice if I edit my other post, I'll just tell you here: 38 explorable planets last time I counted.

Jesus christ the game still looks good.

Not to mention all the screaming over the headset. Jesus that makes me moist.

We'll I wasted my money on Mass Effect :)

I just beat it today, on Normal. I didn't go through all the trouble going through the side-quests, I did a lot of them. Some I couldn't find, and others took too much time. Well I had My Charm and Intimidate up but the guide said I could persuade Seran to shoot himself in the head, and the dialogue options were greyed-out :(

Oh well, I'll get him next time around. I got stuck at some parts but I managed to pull through with lots of headaches, I'm very impatient sometimes and the dialogue has really pissed me off. Gonna make an Adept, instead of Soldier, 2nd time around :)

I'm glad I bought it, although it's not exactly that great. I love sniping though with Cryo Bullets, freezy-freeze :-3


I don't really know what I'll get next, and for you people who suggested Orange Box, I despise the Half Life Engine. The crowbar seems as if it's made of plastic and it's just the same thing in each game, they don't really change their engine. You run really fast, I don't like the FOV (In CS:Source and Half Life 2), The crowbar, 9mm Pistol is extremely weak. Portal does look fun though. I think the half life games could've been much better if they just changed some things around, but thats only my opinion of it. No offense intended.


Also, Happy New Years! 3 hours late, but oh well. (-05:00 GMT, Eastern)

EDIT:

Plus, it has DLC; not all of the planets are explorable, unfortunately, but since they're adding totally new planets through DLC, I'd expect them to become playable in the future.Agh, I totally forgot about that. I haven't seen any DLC at all lately, I was looking for an update but couldn't come across one. The day I got it Xbox Live was having problems so I don't know if thats it or not. All I could come across on the marketplace was Trailers, Picture Packs, Themes and more videos relating to Mass Effect. I couldn't find any planets, no updates and nothing. One thing that really bugged me is there was no AA (Anti-Aliasing). When I was playing in HD on the widescreen, hehe, I disliked seeing the pixelated edges of things. I looked around for it, and I wonder if there is any AA at all?

The games beautiful enough though, and I could imagine with the added AA and the already implemented Framerate Lag at some parts... The game could get pretty slow and buggy.

Doom 3 has a really active mod community, and there are mods that enhance the graphics EVEN MORE.

Portal IS amazing. Its just funny what you can do in some of the rooms, though. Ex: I've taken everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that isn't bolted down and put it through the emancipation grid at the end of the turret level. The setup for this required that I get everything into one big pile at the end of the level. The hill of boxes, dead turrets, storage cubes, and a radio was hill-arious (pun intended)! I'll do it again and take a pic this night after work.
