    Bought a 360 Elite in Smyths because I was looking for a new console and the deal was amazing. Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good games?

    Thanks

    I have Oblivion, Fallout 3 and CoD4 for my PS3 (don't attack me), so I don't really need them. I'll check out Crackdown. Thanks!

    I got GoW 1 with the bundle, but it's a little outdated isn't it? Sorry, I'm new.

    Batman, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Dead Space, Modern Warfare, Braid (Arcade), Shadow Complex (Arcade), Doom (Arcade), Modern Warfare 2 once it's out. I really enjoyed Brutal Legend which is a new one. If you're a metal fan at all I recommend, otherwise check out some reviews.

    Gears of War is alright. I was never blown away but I know people who love them. The first one is definitely worth a go since you already have it but the second one is a lot better. It's much more epic and varied than the first which I didn't enjoy as much. My room mate had a serious hard on for these games and I ended up doing both with him in co-op on insane. ;)

    I'll add castlevania symphony of the night to arcade recommendations. By far the best game on it.

    I second that. Also PoP, Bomberman (for multiplayer) and Monkey Island are great arcade games. And either geometry wars games. Forza3 is a must buy if you like realistic racing games, other than that the good full releases are well known:)

    You've got to get the new Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 2). It's out on the 11th of November and get yourself playing online. Really addictive:D

    Emm, depends really how much were you playing? Gamerscore doesn't really do anything apart from bragging rights.

    If you have Xbox live set up you can add me if you want, Gamertag: AtavanHalen88
