I don't really have much time for it, but I love to play games! I actually find it very relaxing!

Anyway, now I'm looking for some new ones for my Xbox 360. Thing is that I'm not up to date at all, so I have no clue what I should get I just bought Gears of war, because the seller told me it's the best game ever. But I didn't like that game, just wasn't my style.

I like games where I have to think a lot (puzzle solving). Not so much the shoot 'em up-style, but I like Hitman, Tomb Raider, Oblivion (parts of it), Alundra, Final Fantasy, Zelda... maybe those are all different game styles, but still you might get an idea of what kind of games I like. Oh, and it's a big plus if it's great music in the game of course!

Anyone who can recommend some games for me?

FINAL FANTASY 7,8,9,10,10-2,11,13. the best pieces of music ive ever heard.

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 2 2008, 11:07 PM

Posted by: Nice Guy Jun 2 2008, 11:08 PM

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 2 2008, 11:11 PM

Posted by: Nice Guy Jun 2 2008, 11:13 PM

The first Super Mario 3d, awsome music and some funny puzzles here and there

Posted by: ZakkWylde Jun 2 2008, 11:25 PM

Mass Effect is a great scifi rpg and maybe gta 4 if you want the freedom to explore an entire city

Posted by: superize Jun 2 2008, 11:27 PM

Try Naruto Rise of a ninja it is pretty funny

Posted by: Nick325 Jun 2 2008, 11:27 PM

do you like strategy games?

Posted by: Pi38 Jun 2 2008, 11:29 PM

I know you said you don't really like shoot'em up games, but I love Call Of Duty 4. It's gotten great reviews, and I can personally tell you that it's a great game, and it's not just running around and killing people, it has a lot of stealth about it. Also, if you're looking for games with great music, try Guitar Hero and/or Rock Band. They're ALL about music. I find that I don't play them much since I've started to play guitar, but it's still lots of fun to play them.

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 2 2008, 11:34 PM

Thanks Siggum, ZakkWylde, superize and Pi38. I'll check out those games!

hm... don't know! Haven't tried many I think.

Posted by: bsamn Jun 2 2008, 11:38 PM

what about Assasin's Creed, i havent played it, but it has loads of things that you want in a game

Posted by: Nick325 Jun 2 2008, 11:41 PM

well for strategy you could try those command and conquer type games which involve thinking

i have assassins creed and its a very good game. you need to think alot also. check it out.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 3 2008, 03:45 AM

Assassins Creed, Orange Box, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2

Posted by: TreyDeschamp Jun 3 2008, 04:23 AM

Fear Files, Rock Band, GH3 or GHArosmith adition and some mentioned mass effect. rainbow 6 vegas 2 is also great i hope you get the right game for you

Posted by: Old School Rocker Jun 3 2008, 04:33 AM

Just be Paitient and wait till June 5th For........





I've been chewing at the bit waiting for this game to come out for months now well actually i think its been about a year since I heard about it and now its soooo close. This is easily my Favorite series.

Posted by: dropbman Jun 3 2008, 06:03 AM

ok this game is sort of shoot em up but... soundtrack = beyond beautiful
BIOSHOCK
i would have bought it just for the soundtrack
i also agree that assassin's creed is up your alley because of the whole thinking side of games
Halo Wars isn't out yet but definitely seems your kind of game

o and don't forget about tetris

Posted by: axelsson Jun 3 2008, 06:20 AM

Yeah, according to what you say Marcus I really think Bio Shock could suite you well. Plus that it got outstanding reviews!

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 3 2008, 07:09 AM

Wow! I see there's lots of games I have to check out!
Assassins Creed looks very interesting

Posted by: Chiruki Jun 3 2008, 07:30 AM

You should definitely play Assassins Creed, and you should try Prince of Persia games
And if you want puzzles, you should try Portal!!

Posted by: Zizi Top Jun 3 2008, 07:32 AM

In the strategy games, there's also Generals (and it's expansion : zero hours) from command & conquer
But i like blizzard games : Diablo 2; Starcraft (by the way there's a new stracraft 2, but it's not finished yet) and world of warcraft, but world of warcraft take a lot of time to burn

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 3 2008, 08:23 AM

Thanks! I can't find any info about Portal though.
Do you have a link where I can see it?


Oh, I think I'll pass on that one then!
Thanks!

Posted by: Bondy Jun 3 2008, 08:30 AM

Assasins Creed is cool but gets very repetitive plus theres not really any puzzles if you had a PS3 i would reccomend
Uncharted Drakes Fourtune i think thats the kind of game your after cool game

Posted by: Bucket86 Jun 3 2008, 11:37 AM

Blue Dragon and lost oddysey are two good Final Fantasy style games (lost odyssey being the better one imo).
The orange box and assains creed are good too.
Mass effect and bioshock also both meet your criteria as well.
(i know these have all been mentioned before, just seconding some oppinions)

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 3 2008, 12:35 PM

Excellent! Thanks

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 3 2008, 12:39 PM

Portal is only on PC Marcus.

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jun 3 2008, 12:46 PM

Bioshock. You wont be able to put it down , amazing game !

Posted by: Bucket86 Jun 3 2008, 12:47 PM

What?
I was under the impression it was only for 360.
Because i have most deffinitely played it and beaten it on my 360, it comes with the Orange Box

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 3 2008, 01:12 PM

Oh yeah. Forgot about the Orange Box. Silly me It is out on XBOX 360 and I recommend the Orange Box fully

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jun 4 2008, 02:19 PM

I give my vote to Assassins Creed. The game looks awesome!

Posted by: Bondy Jun 4 2008, 05:47 PM

Assassins creed is awesome to look at but after a bit it gets really repetitive theres only so many people you can save and scale so many viewpoints

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 4 2008, 08:50 PM

Its out already here, came out on the 3rd

Pretty fun game, just as usual, way too short.

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 4 2008, 09:01 PM

Thanks all for your input! I think I'll buy Assassins creed for starters.

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jun 4 2008, 09:27 PM

Youll get bored with it very fast.... Just a fore-warning

Posted by: Juan M. Valero Jun 4 2008, 10:57 PM

Oh, forgot all videogames !!!!
I get the Wii and it's good hobbie !!!!

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 5 2008, 04:47 AM

Kept me entertained for a long time, the story is just amazing

Posted by: Old School Rocker Jun 5 2008, 05:53 AM

I thought NG Black was really long. Especially since I beat it on all difficulties (Yes Master Ninja Mode, I Pretty much only played that game for the longest time my xbox didnt see any other games for a while)

I picked NG2 up today but I dont have my Xbox with me so i wont be able to try NG2 till Friday
But My Xbox better no die on me either, its making really wierd noises right now.

Oh Yeah Uncreator, since you've played it do you know how many difficulties there is? I've heard theres only 2.

Edit:NVRmind I found it duhhhh it was on the first page lol I thought my post was on the second

Actually Marcus I just started thinking now, you say like puzzle games, so, mabey a good game for you might be Dead Rising. It has:

1. Epic amounts of Zombies(Excelent)
2. Saving People (Cool)
3. Lotsa cool Wepons (Chainsaws, Golf Clubs, Shotguns, Katanas and more)
4. Lotsa Violence
5. And solving the mystery of how the zombies came to be(Puzzle Solving)

.
Oh yeah and you can kill zombies with a Strat, Flying V, Acustic, and Bass guitar

I liked it and its a Platinum hit now so its Cheap.

And as everyone was saying Assasins Creed is a great game but it just doesnt have much of a replay value to it IMO

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Jun 5 2008, 07:30 AM

Thanks! Dead Rising looks scary I'll check it out!

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 5 2008, 11:54 AM

Dead Rising is ace. You can stick a frying pan on a hob and then hit a zombie with the hot pan What could be more fun.

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jun 5 2008, 12:51 PM

Ill settle for Dead Rising, but you can pretty much get a "real" taste for the game by downloading the Demo of Xbox Lives Marketplace

Posted by: The Uncreator Jun 5 2008, 03:04 PM

Using the riding lawnmower is just perfect in Dead Rising

Posted by: Joe Kataldo Jun 5 2008, 03:12 PM

Grand theft auto IV

Posted by: Trond Vold Jun 5 2008, 10:00 PM

There's 3 games i can safely recommend:
1.Assassin's Creed (simply beautiful and will keep you busy for hours, it can get a bit repetative in the long run, but thats only after hours and hours of playing)
2. Burnout Paradise, huge city to drive through. And it looks great.
3. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga It might be targeted for kids, but i think it's absolutely brilliant

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jun 6 2008, 02:07 AM

Listen to the man , He knows his stuff !


You would have fun with GTA4 also....

Posted by: Nick325 Jun 6 2008, 02:11 AM

ya dead rising too whats better than killing zombies with anything you can find in a mall

Posted by: Pizzoaro Jun 7 2008, 12:33 AM

I bet u would hate guitar hero...

But The final fantasy series are really worth it!
I bought the PS2 just to get X, X-II and XII...
Final fantasy is awesome...

most of the music there (all of it i think?) are composed by Nobuo Uematsu...
You should at least check that out... Its some of the gretest epiciest s*** ive heard...

Final fantasy!!!!
