[Closed] santa is bringing boy an xbox, but what games for me?

I think we should have a few singletrack online gaming sessions.

2nd that. PS3 and wii here (mario kart) but I'd like to play people on line that weren't 13 years old and Kick my arse! 😀

Just buy Gears of War 1, 2 & 3.

And Darksider 1 & 2.

Erm, I'm not married and have no children.

DOOM!

QUAKE!

Excited!

Yo, clever-netting people.... imagine with current technologies a STW Quake Arena Modem Special...

Get yourself halo 4 and gta5 when it's released!
Also get Lego batman 2 dc super heroes for a good 2 player you can play with your boy.

Zombie child(TM)

but I think you wanted games for the Xbox? Believe me, once you let them in, you'll be playing a whole new world of games based on control, ignorance, deafness... We waited 11 years before letting one into the home.

word of caution.... [url= http://www.break.com/index/best-codblack-ops-2-video-youll-ever-see-2388081 ]you could turn into this chap![/url]

this might be a "slightly" controversial choice after reading the op's post,but i'm going to suggest it anyways 😉

i bought this for my friend when he bought a ps3 last xmas (he wasn't into big games nowadays. he hasn't stopped playing it 😀

just stunning games the elder scrolls series are (you can get oblivion also/the game before skyrim) that is also epic 😀

Perhaps contentiously, I never got on with Skyrim. Not quite sure why, I think I found it a bit dry.

I traded it for Kingdoms of Amalur, which I'm having a lot more fun with.

Not gaming but hook it up to the stereo and use it as a DLNA conduit. Play to it wirelessly from Windows media player on your laptop / PC (right click on song > play to > Xbox). Or download the skifta app to your android phone and play music from that, or use the phone as a remote control.

Red Dead Redemption.

Er yeah skiftas ace!

I'm mostly loving Serviio for this.

Red Dead Redemption.

Best game I've played in years.

Personally I don't get Halo at all, such an overrated series

S Club 7 and Steps both sold millions too.

I never 'got' Halo. Mate of mine's addicted, he's just bought a new Xbox solely to play Halo 4. One man's meat is another man's pornography, or something.

Red Dead Redemption is easily the best story I've played on the Xbox 360, and I might go so far as to say best single player game full stop. Batman Arkham City is fantastic as well.

For shooters, Battlefield 3 floats my boat in so many ways. If you've got friends to play with, Borderlands 2 is also pretty ace.

Agreed, battlefield 3 is also very good but I found it much harder to get into than COD and it only works if you have a squad to play with regularly.

That depends on the map, on Metro, Seine or any of the new Close quaters maps then you don't need a squad. Tbh I don't need a regular squad to play with on anything but the very large Armoured Kill maps. Even on the huge Armoured Kill maps, there's nothing like going lone wolf with a sniper rifle and getting a kill at 700 meters plus.

Not what the OP is after but the Mass Effect trilogy is excellent. The multiplayer on ME3 is so addictive.

Portal 1 and 2 ( if only for cave johnson) and half-life obviously. Halo 4 is pretty cool, surprised no-one has said Deus X or the assassin creed series, both are pretty good games

I played the first Assassin's Creed game. Thought it was ok, but it got very samey pretty quickly. The newer ones are better I hear.

Borderlands 2 is seeing all the action in our house at the moment, superb game!
I still play Race as well which is a great racing game.

I need to get XCOM.

sounds good, but what is a dlna conduit?

Media header. Install (eg) Serviio onto a PC, and you can stream video / audio / pictures to it for TV viewing.

They are.

Yeah they've only sold about 48 million copies... How could a game with so many sales possibly be so overrated?

I'm sure crap such as One Direction has sold millions as well, but doesn't stop that from being utter shite does it? 😛

Dunno, I just find it boring whenever I play any of the Halo games. Don't get it at all.

For racing try games like, F1 2012, Forza 4 or for a more arcade experience try need for speed. There are many games that suit many needs, there are games that provide a more cinematic feel, for example, the halo series or you've got the fallout series. But if you want just a half an hour shoot em up then go for a COD, it's your best bet.

apologies if mentioned already,but try the test drive unlimited games 1 and 2. you have a whole hawaiian island to drive around/in tdu2 you also have ibiza to drive round (in flash expensive cars when you have enough money also).

even though both games have their faults,there isn't another game on console at least that comes close to the expansiveness of both games.

I'm in 8)

Gamertags anyone?

Jeeze you lot are only into "Death Killers of Zombie Fighters of Death Killers with Guns and Bombs and More Death"

What happened to MotoGP
Or
Ty Tiger
Or
Sonic the Hedgehog

Sorry but anyone who thinks TDU2 is a decent driving game has lost their marbles. Horrible graphics, horrible physics engine (if you can even call it that - more like a hyper reality mario kart engine) and way too arcade like to be a decent 'driving' game in my eyes. Yes the open map thing is cool, but you get that with horizon - and it's a bigger more beautiful map too.

I rather enjoyed the Forza Horizons demo, despite being sucky at driving games.

Burnout Paradise is also a giggle as an arcadey racer, and should be in the bargain bins for about five groats by now.
