Hi guys.

What's good on the XBox 360?

I bought Jericho, Sega Rally REVO and the John Woo game Stranglehold.

I'm looking for Gears of War 2.

Anything else that's a must have?

Halo 3 if you like FPS games, I like castle crashers as well, it's a great little 2D side scroller type.

You know I bought Halo 1 for the PC. I didn't see the attraction and I'm a HUGE FPS fan.

Well if you are not a panty waist liberal who's scared of guns you could pickup Call of duty 3 or 4 .

I have not played 5 yet, just came out a while ago .. Call of duty 3 is my favorite first shooter game, it relies more on quick reactions and skill,not special effects like that Halo sh*t .

My 17 yr old kid really loves fallout 3 and gears 2 .

Do you play online at all ?

I just bought the XBox 360 Elite tonight.

So no, no online stuff yet. I'll pick up the necessary cables next week. I do have a spare network jack right beside it but IIRC it's not conected at the HUB end.

Call of Duty 3 eh? I'll look for that.

Any Opinions on "Alone In the Dark"?

Well then scratch the series - it's more of the same, though prettier and well executed. I'm still on the fence but I think I like the first game plot best, as my brother put it, "it plays like a good sci-fi movie".

COD 4 and 5 are good as well, and Left 4 Dead is excellent zombie killing fun Thumbs Up

Just the on-foot deathmatch is pretty funny. I still have fond memories of using an RPG on someone that was trying to run me over with his ride. Lesson learned. Very Happy
