So christmas is coming up and iono what to get for it. Oh and about the title, yeah, it'seriously TRUE, i only get at least 2 games per year cuz my parents think they are a waste of time, when i do actually get one, it has to be the best pick i ever made without any regrets afterwards.

So yeah, I'm missing out on "current-gen" now. So what should i pick for my dying 360? any game that should keep me happy for a long time. So far i'm considering ASS'S Creed, MAss Effect or Halo 3. Anything else? and yeah, i already own COD4 so that's off the list, only one more game to have this year,

thanks in advance

Well you will certainly outlive the 360's lifecycle by about 30 years. Get Mass Effect.

When I was young, I was only able to play videogames on Saturday night. I found a way around it, I always did, as you will probably find a way to get more than 2 games a year, like getting good grades.

Halo 3 is the biggest disappointment of the year. How can anyone recommend trash?

Mass Effect has horrible gameplay. The fighting is soo boring I sold the game 2 days after I bought it.

2 games that will NOT disappoint:

1. Call of Duty 4

2. Bioshock

Halo 3

I'm so sorry to say that if you only get 2 games a year than 08 is going to majorly leave you behind and I agree with the person that said you'll pass the 360's lifecycle LOL.

Wow, halo 3: Trash? Yeah, ive heard its disappointing before but "TRASH"? hmm, i'm temted to get it but so many choices, I already have COD4 though, and i'm not the slightest bit interested in Bioshock, so now my choices are down to either ASS's Creed, or Mass effect. Maybe Ace Combat anyone???

Do not listen to this fool. he does not know what he is talking about. Calling Halo 3 "trash" is absolutely idiotic. Overated? Sure. I think it deserves around 8.8 or 9. Trash? You have to be joking, Halo 3 is the best selling 360 game for a reason. People don't buy trash..

Obviously from your description of mass Effect, you are a bland shooter player who has never played a Bioware RPG before and has no clue on how to really play Mass Effect. Tell you what buddy, Pick the Adept or Sentinel Class, then say that Mass Effect has awful Combat..ME is an incredible game that has amazing story, graphics and gameplay.

I don't see a point in owning a system if you can only get 2 games per year. I get a new one each month basically.

The Orange Box and Halo 3.

Of the ones you have listed, I would pick up Halo 3(if you have live) and Mass Effect is a sure purchase, tons of replay value at least three playthroughs. Also if you don't have live The Orange Box is pretty much the best game value of the year, at least 60 hours will be invested in the OB.

whatever u do dont listen to this guy. Everyone is entitled to a opinion but Mass Effect is one the best Action RPG's of all time. I would put BS above it however.

He is entitled to his own opinion. But calling Mass Effect the worst game ever should be illegal by the court of law.

Wow 2 games per year...sorry about it bro...anyway, I wouldnt want you to spend your money on a game that doesnt last long so get Mass Effect, still it wouldnt last you the whole year through but it atleast it would outlast every game right now. Dont get AC or Bioshock, these games are rent worthy IMO coz its really soooo short...the other 1 should be something in the XBL MP side for this add on will surely last longer but I cant help you with that coz no live for me :D

2 games that will NOT disappoint:

1. Call of Duty 4

2. Bioshock

Haloisn't trash, but it definetly isn' worth it in the replayablility aspect, nor is Bioshock. As for Mass Effect I don't know how you can say the combat is poor when you say bioshock is a great game (not that it isn't), but the weapons in Bioshock feel rather cheap and sub par.

I think Cod4 and Mass Effect are your best bets for replayability and quality as they are both fantastic games that will provide you with lots of fun (even until next Christmas)

Mass Effect - Lengthy campaign and great replayability. ORANGE BOX - This will last you longer than any 360 game ever released. If it doesn't, you aren't using it right. Halo is a waste of time and effort, and I fail to see why people love the multiplayer... it's slow and unrewarding imo. Call of Duty 4 would be a great game for MP in addition to OB (TF2 is awesome.... I've already put 80 hours into it :))

Halo 3's online gets old within a month...

Live: COD4

The Orange Box for single player. 5 games in one!

Mass Effect has too many technical problems to really enjoy the game. That and the planets that you can "explore", you wouldnt want to... They are all EMPTY.

Bioshock is awesome, its one of my favorite games and i have replayed it a bunch of times but, since you can only get 2 games u should rent it and beat it. Same for Assassins Creed.

BioShock

Assassins Creed

Halo 3

GRAW 2

Rock Band

If you dont have, butu probalbly do, Gears of War

and if you can get money instead and wait a couple of months and rent games until then. My4 most anticipated game of 08

Fable 2, Tom Clancy End War, Tom Clancy Splinter Cell Conviction, Clancy game come out in early spring and fable TBA 08

Bioshock is good, but isnt worth $60. its a rental. Beat the 6 hour campaign once, then return it

Tell your parents that if you save your own money then you don't see why you shouldn't be aloud to pick up more games as long as the ratings on those games aline with your age. If that doesn't work then borrow games from your friends and play them when your parents arn't around. Find a way to beat the system, a fun game in itself.
