    Fallout 3 game of the year edition.................... based on my last save i gto 120 hours out of it, a less obsessive player would still likely get more than the average game play from it, and if not going for everything get 40 from it :D

    Oh and Rock band 2, had to throw that in there too :) only game I've ever played for so long after I'd finished it.

    If you have slow broadband and want good single player experiences i suggest, Borderlands,Fallout3,Mass Effect,FIFA 10 or PES10 or both :),Forza3.

    Borderlands*
    Mass effect
    Arkham asylum
    PGR 4
    Shadow Complex (live arcade)

    * definitely an aquired taste, check out a few reviews first

    Fallout,
    Borderlands,
    Halo 3,
    GTA,
    Gears.

    other games come and go but these stick out in my mind as some the best xbox has.

    -Agree with hobochris with Gears of War, something you have to experience.
    -Batman Arkham Asylum is another crackin game imo.
    -Dead Space is another.
    -Bioshock another
    -Oblivion can take over your life!

    The Orange Box (worth it for Portal alone)
    Bioshock
    Fallout 3


  • Registered Users Posts: 303 ✭✭manic mailman


    halo 3
    pro evo (or fifa whatever ur preference)
    tekken 6 (great series)
    call of duty or else gears or war
    gta


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    Modern Warfare 1/2
    Batman: Arkhum Asylum
    Mass Effect

    Possibly the best four games I own out of about twenty. I'm burned out on Dead Space from getting every achievement but the fact that I did says a lot I guess.
    Bioshock is also good but it never grabbed me. There's no hook to it that makes you want to keep playing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 225 ✭✭OhThePenguin


    Fallout 3
    Bioshock
    Oblivion
    Batman AA
    and Dead Space if you like that kind of game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,348 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Halo 3,
    Dragon Age: Origins,
    GTA,
    Gears of War 2,
    The Orange Box

    halo 3,
    mass effect,
    both modern warfares,
    left 4 dead
    fusion frenzy 2 - for drinking games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭dMaN24


    I don't see what people like with Mass Effect, tbh.

    My list:
    Forza 3
    Bully
    Fable II
    Scene It

    Don't bother buying CoD MW2. The single player is short enough for a rental. Same for CoD 4. Also, dead space is quite good, deffo GTA 4 & Batman was a nice suprise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 484 ✭✭happydayz182


    Thanks guys ! So far im thinking ...

    -> Fallout 3
    -> Fifa/Pes ...I still cant get over my love for pes
    -> Tekken 6
    -> Batman AA



    hmm not sure about the last one! And can someone give the better than minimum speeds for xbox live . Not exactly blessed with providers being in the country! heard it has more to do with ping and upload speed?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,715 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Seriously dont overlook Borderlands, also imo tekken 6 is terrible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Jaysus, you all got it wrong. :p

    Fallout 3
    Dead Rising
    Gears of War - go into expecting to turn your brain off and just shoot stuff.
    Mass Effect
    Earth defence force 2012 - if you have friends and like drinking buy this just for the pure OTT fun co-op

    Any Order, Any release!

    Gears of War
    Halo
    Fifa
