    Oblivion is a must but kiss the next year goodbye cause it'll take that long to complete! :D

    Defo Arkham and Dead space which should be cheap at the moment

    Also Fable 2. Fallout. Saints row 1+2(well most of it) and more recently Alan Wake.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    cannot ****ing believe I forgot fallout and arkham :/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    +1 on Dead space and Fallout 3

    I know were you are coming from OP I always groan with annoyance when an NPC support character turns up. Feels like i'm being cheated out of shooting bad guys :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,932 ✭✭✭keith_d99


    Bioshock also a must

    Bioshock 1 and 2, mass effect 2 , crackdown .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,906 ✭✭✭EGriff


    You've got 2 teammates with you all the time in mass effect 2.

    Oblivion is amazing, fallout 3 is really good too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 874 ✭✭✭Daniel2oo9


    Go for Dead Rising.Cant go wrong


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    Shadow Complex on XBox Live Arcade. Brilliant game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,162 ✭✭✭TheMooseInNam


    Here's a comprehensive list of all the games listed above, in no particular order...

    dead space
    asassins creed 1+2
    Oblivion
    Fable 2
    Fallout 3
    mass effect 1+2
    Saints row 1+2
    Bioshock 1+2
    crackdown
    Dead Rising
    Shadow Complex
    batman arkham asylum
    mirrors edge
    Alan Wake
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed


  • Registered Users Posts: 438 ✭✭Cullen82


    Alan Wake is alright.

    To be honest I got bored of Arkham after 20 minutes or so...Would not recommend - Just my opinion though :)

    Oh and Bioshock is one of the best stories you'll come across - Not normally my type of game but the story more than made up for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,612 ✭✭✭Dardania


    I found mirrors edge very enjoyable - bit of action, skill and thinking, with a very cool world


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    Forgot about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed...excellent also.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 905 ✭✭✭FUNKY LOVER


    thanks for the replies.obviously some people share my selfishness of wanting the whole game for myself!!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I didn't see it mentioned already, but Trials HD is a must own single player game.

    Splinter Cell Conviction


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 218 ✭✭Screaming Monkey


    Ninja Gaiden II, picked it up cheap the other day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    I'm currently playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Great game thus far.

    Also Alan Wake is a good single player game. :)

    And it has been mentioned before but Arkham Asylum is an essential game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 504 ✭✭✭cypharius


    Pre-owned Batman Arkham asylum. Best E15 you'll ever spend.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    arkham is only 15E preowned now? awesome, i traded mine in after I finished it and i've been waiting for what feels like forever to see it come down in price enough to justify a second purchase


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,584 ✭✭✭c - 13


    Borderlands ? I hear its supposed to be much better multiplayer but I did the whole campaign alone and quite enjoyed it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Here's a comprehensive list of all the games listed above, in no particular order...

    As was said above, Mass Effect should really be avoided if you don't like computer controlled team mates!

    Maybe Lost Odyssey if you fancy an RPG?
    Crackdown (oldie but a goldie!)

    +1 for Borderlands (also played this mostly solo), Arkham & Shadow Complex


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    The Orange Box. You can't go wrong. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    Defense Grid is only 400 pts this week and well worth it

    Saying that, I was never irritated by them and you can order them around. They are also quite potent and useful.

    Unlike Halo or Call of Duty when they all stop in a doorway and you can't get past them. And are completely useless in combat.
