I am buying a present for my bf (27) and just wondering what game to buy!

I know that it would depend on his taste so the games that he already has and likes are:

Fifa 06
Godfather
Gears of war... and that is it!!

So just want your opinon on this game... http://www.cdwow.ie/detail_results_3.php?product_code=1855403

Or would you suggest any another games??

event

yeah, its a pretty cool game

though id get it here

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dw-49-en-15-darkness-70-21qi.html

that'll work and be €20 cheaper

I liked The Darkness, but opinions seem to be mixed.

Rainbow Six: Vegas is a good game, and also cheap on Play-Asia.
Play-Asia are an online store in Hong Kong. Some games for the Xbox 360 are "region free" so they can be played on a 360 in any country. Not all games are though, but you can see which ones are here:

(Ignore the first few page, it's all stuff that isn't out yet)

They work out cheaper than buying in the shop here, sometimes by a lot.
If you're buying stuff worth $50 (or more) let me know and I can send you a free code I have that gives you $5 off.

Cool thanks for that.. I haven't checked the play site yet but do you know if they take laser? Do not and can not use a credit Card:rolleyes: !!

koneko

No, they wouldn't take laser, you'd probably have to get a 3V card if you have a problem with credit cards then.

The Darkness is 60 euro in Smyths I believe. Rainbow 6 Vegas is probably a bit cheaper by now (and maybe cheaper again secondhand).

Thanks Koneko I will check them out...

Is he into cars at all?

Forza Motorsport 2 is an excellent racing sim and Colin Mc Rae Dirt is good off road racer.

Yea I was looking at the Colin Mc Rae one but I haven't got a clue if he's into the car games... I usually walk out of the room when he turns the xbox on!!

This is why I bought myself a game!! Now he has to put up with me trying to figure out how to play a game!! It'll drive him mental:D

I loved the Darkness and thought R6: Vegas was, well... not at all FUN...
It's a game that seems to have a massive split of opinions on it though, so I couldn't wholeheartedly recommend it even though I thought it was brilliant.

Forza 2 is good but very anal, it's all a bit too serious for me.

Rainbow Six Vegas might be the better option unless you are sure he wants the Darkness. There is a bit of a split in opinions about the Darkness, I didn't like it myself, while Rainbow Six Vegas in widely accepted as being a great game by everyone other than people with no taste like tman

koneko

Oh, and Viva Pinata. You'll love it, and your boyfriend will probably pretend to hate it but when you're not around he'll play it and secretly love it.

Retr0gamer

There's no shame in loving Viva Pinata. He'll be more of a man if he admits it.

Anyway Gears of War is by far the 'gayest' game of the last 10 years. I'd be worried about that more than Viva Pinata

I think I would have liked Gears of War if it had a scene like the elevator scene in Big Trouble in Little China:

Stephen!

If he likes shooters, F.E.A.R is an absolutley great game! And bloody scarey too with the lights off and you have a good sound system!

Why dont you casually bring up the subject of games, Manhunt 2 being banned is one i got my friend on, and then saying sure you play games like that etc

As a new xbox360 owner - I'm must admit that I am partial to a bit of "pick up and play" Crackdown...
