Since the next 2 games your getting are FPS I say get Fallout 3. If you didn't like the first Fable you probably won't like this one.Flatline304
True! I'm totally undecided now LOL

[QUOTE="eXists"]I know they're different types of games but wanted to hear some opinions... just finished Dead Space and need something before Gears 2/COD5 come out. Far Cry 2 - seems to be quite good and is a new take on FPS so intriguing for sure Fallout 3 - is pretty much like Oblivion with a new paint job which is great but looking for a new experience. Fable 2 - didn't really get into the first one and Molyneux is such an annoying guy that he drives me away :D Thanks!IshmaelSonata

Did you make up your mind already? Because you're already leaning towards Far Cry 2.

Far Cry 2- i will say that this is a frustrating game on the console. The save system is broken and dying means repetative journey across a huge map, which is nice the first couple of times because the environment is so great, but its tiresome after the tenth time. The other aspects live up to the hype, the frustration of the save system kills some of the good things though.

Fallou 3 - its not oblivion with a paint job. Its definitely a new experience. Read reviews and player reviews, they all agree. A good way to describe this game is actually that its everything stalker wished it could have been, plus more. Its a shame to miss out on this game.

Fable 2 - the main story is really short. thats its biggest fault.

Yep u read it right :D Leaning on Far Cry 2 but been reading both negative and positive stuff so on the fence. I know what i'm getting into with Fallout 3 so less of a surprise there, Fable I think I'll pass... If save system is that bad i.e. like Dead Rising which I didn't buy because of that then might end up with Fallout 3...hmmmmm.... down to 2 and a few hours before I go get one.

Be it Kameo or Viva Pinata and now Banjo, all these games are a breath of fresh air with all the shooters invading the 360, so I totally disagree.

I've been subscribed since the original xbox days and it's been getting worse and worse with every issue, I'm probably not renewing it anymore, completely worthless except for the occasional gamerpic and the only time i got an oblivion mission for free 2 yrs ago, NOT WORTH IT!

Definitely on my must-buy list, it wasn't (to be completely honest) with so many great games coming out. Good idea to have an early Demo! ----------------------------------------------- The Good ----------------------------------------------- > Voice command rocks, it's one of those unique 360 instances where you discover a new cool feature, way better than expected, very well done! > Significant amount of different unit types which could make things quite challengine I'm sure. Need to show when units are at a disadvantage for quick retreat vs seeing red > Graphics/Presentation is pretty good, no complaints here > WMD ZULU ;) ----------------------------------------------- The Bad ----------------------------------------------- > There needs to be a better camera view "a la RTS" where you can zoom out to view the battle from an elevated camera view then zoom in to individual units when needed > There's a little too much going on in the HUD view, too much info, should be simpler so it's focused on voice command even more > Reinforcements not that great of a feature, it's better to have all your base troops at the start to plan your strategy carefully, some limited reinforcements is fine but I'd rather plan ahead of time > Needs a decent tutorial or may put many ppl off, not everyone will want to figure out the details and therefore less games sold which also means no sequel etc.

Really cool, takes a while getting used to it but the commands work really well, it needs a better tutorial which I assume will come in the full version but looks really promising.
