I downloaded Super Meat Boy a few days ago and I can't stop playing it. Right now I'm choosing Live Arcade over all else because I'm getting sick of the same games coming out over and over and over and over and over and over....Example: Black Ops.

There will be a lot more variety coming up in 2011. So many great games were pushed from Q4 to 2011 this year.

There are other genres, but they get overshadowed due to the FPS' popularity

I grew bored from my 360 last year. My solution was PC gaming. I'm currently looking into pc hardware, and hopefully I'd be able to build my own next month.

I agree with you, it does need more variety.

I miss the PS2 days, almost everything was original, now almost everything is the same.

Maybe you should get a PS3 as well that way you can have a bigger variety to choose from.

I don't understand the problem with FPS games. The communities that populate them are at fault sometimes, but that's a different story. As for the only thing on the 360 being FPS games, I disagree. Assassin's Creed for example, as well as a game like Devil May Cry 4 or Enslaved.

It sucks but you have to keep searching for other types of games, they are out there, most genres aren't as popular as shooters these days.

Yeah, there are others, they just don't get noticed as much.

Like Fable, Tales of Vesperia, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, Assassin's Creed, Dead Or Alive, Tekken, Soul Calibur. Just to name a few. But there are plenty of Genre's to choose from, you just gotta look a little harder.

This is why you either do exactly what your doing or pick up old games from previous generation (and possibly a console if need be). I have a PS2 with a good 20 games I have yet to play and I am just punching them out one at a time now since I don't feel like buying the 30 shooters per year (with that said I got Reach as a gift).

I agree TC need to search a little more, not hating just saying there out there and just because they aren't new and cutting edge doesn't make them good... I love your sig btw lazyathew.

Yea i honestly feel the same way, because after black ops it's not like i'm playing Fable 3, AC brotherhood etc, there is variety. I guess maybe FPS is the strongest market, but there are definatley newer games that are not FPS.

Xbox has plenty of variety. Sure theres a lot of FPS for the Xbox, but finding more is just a matter of looking in the right places *cough* Assassin's Creed *cough* Fable *cough* Dead Rising *cough cough*

completely agree with you, but PC gaming requires so much money to be on the top. Although the game selection is awesome, you gotta have a $1500-$2500 machine to enjoy the fullness of the newest games. Then in a year or 2 at the most you got to upgrade that same rig. Console gaming has saved me a ton of money as well not having to update the hardware ever. Now with gamefly i save even more.

Fallout 3 is easily one of the best games this gen. I highly reccomend getting it, and if you are looking for more unique titles check out Alan Wake, I got it for free and it's been a lot of fun so far.

Yeah I am with ya on the FPS thing however I get excited about games of ALL genres and consider my games more like a gaming arsenal at my disposal. I always have to have a FPS available so I can get the stress relief and instant satisfaction from the action (which for years was CS:Source but have to admit I am on Black Ops now) I always need a single player RPG to chew through and an MMO or online one (Right now for single player RPG's I am reliving the classics with BG 1 and 2, and I dont have an MMO currently so my fallback game for instant satisfaction is NWN online), a fighting game (Streetfighter 4), and NHL for sports and starcraft for RTS. The only game that I am constantly updating so to say is NHL every year but all of the other ones I just beat and replace with something else entertaining. When they release the new Call of duty next year I wont buy it and one day when Counter strike 3 or whatever comes out that will be my FPS of choice. My arsenal against boredom should at one point look like this; Counterstrike 3 for FPS, NHL for sports, Star wars: The old republic as my MMO, Dragon Age 2 as my single player replaceable rpg, Dead or Alive 5 for fighting, and probably still starcraft for RTS. Sorry for the rant, its just the way I roll. Really though your biggest problem is going to be that you are locking yourself into one gaming system. I love x-box but it will never be your total gaming solution.

I've still got a lot to do on Super Meat Boy...I think I'm only 45% completed but I keep going back to previous stages to try and find all the warps/bandages. What an awesome, twisted and crazy game. I also bought Scott Pilgrim on Live Arcade and it's worth the points. Has a River City Ransom feel to it, if you ever played that on NES.

RPG's...Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odessey, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fable 2 and 3. And if you like a good, simple JRPG, then Blue Dragon may be for you....a little cutesy though. Oh yeah, then there is also this little known RPG called Final Fantasy XIII you can play on it too! Plus, there is a decent XBLA strategy RPG called Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgement that is available. If you were a fan of the Vandal Hearts series on the first Playstation, then you will like this game.

This is not entirely true. It it only at the moment. In a few months Mortal Kombat will be out, in about a year, Gears Of war will be out, and there have been a lot of RPGs or TPSs lately. (Ex//Vanquish, Limbo, That Meatboy thingy... etc.
