    Forza looks far better than PGR :)

    Negative. PGR has the better graphics, Forza has the better gameplay.

    Can't understand the appeal of Guitar Hero. It's just a matter of pressing certain buttons at the right time to music. Admittedly it's hard but it gets boring quickly.

    Halo 3 has a varied online experience and Dead Space is also worth a playthrough. Also you should try Rainbow Six Vegas if you like shooters.

    As mentioned in previous posts, you're never too old to pick up a joypad and take up console gaming (though my 'oul fella would strongly put that theory to the test! :D)

    Give "Oblivion" a try if you want a truly in-depth game.

    As for some of the more "controversial" previous posts :rolleyes:, my wife refuses to go near any "real" games (i.e anything that's not Tetris or some other such arcade game), but loves to be my wingman when I'm playing.

    For example, when I'm stuck into an online game of Halo 3, she'll always be keeping an eye on the radar for sneaky types creeping up on me (something I always forget to do! :mad:).

    Get yourself Fallout 3 and prepare to have no contact with the outside world for a couple of weeks/months. :)
