Ok I've recently gotten my 360 two weeks ago and I've bought the following games for it: The Simpsons, Oblivion, Gears of War, Halo 3 and PGR 4.

Christmas is coming up and I'm thinking of more games to get and I'm wondering what are your Must Have Games on the 360 of all time? I've heard Mass Effect and CoD4 popping up every where as well as the occasional mention of BioShock ( Which I already have on PC ).

AC and ME, and perhaps COD4 but with all the original games another realstic shooter isnt a must-have, even one as superb as COD4. I think you should buy ME, and perhaps rent AC as it's a lot shorter and has zero replay value. ME is just oen great experience that you will want to replay and you'll even get a different experience the second time.

I would agree with all the above except assasins creed, it's a repetative game that isn't worth £40. The story isn't all that great and ends with a horrible cliffhanger, possibly worth a rent but certaining not a purchase.

If you are a sports fan you should pick up Madden and NBA 2k8....if not, sounds like everyone has given you great ideas.  I agree with ME, AC, COD4...but that's just bcz I'm getting all three for christmas.  You should try out DeadRising but not buy it unless you are into getting every single achievement.

I loved Lost Planet :) Awesome sig btw, I also loved Kaze no Stigma :D

Mass Effect, Forza 2, Crackdown, and Eternal Sonata top my list to name a few. I have the other big names (Except AC) on PC already... I'll probably get AC soon.

Wow people are nutz...

The essential list is as follows: I can't believe someone actully put Skate down as a must have...lol

Gears of War (best game of 06)

all and all a better shooter than Halo will ever be

Halo 3

(bc it's freakin Halo) you just have to finish the fight

Mass Effect

(bc it has a story that no other game has ever had...One where you feel like you actually have to make decisions that will change the game

Orange Box

The best deal by any developer ever

Grab Halo 2 and download Halo bc if you haven't played them Halo 3 will be have holes in the story

You should have bought something other than the simpsons game, like mass effect or assassins creed. Guitar Hero 3 will be a big christmas seller, too.

Dont forget the games previously released! As some mention Lost Planet and Condemned; theres also Dead Rising, Ghost Recon 1 and 2, Splinter Cell, Crackdown, saints Row and Fight Night. And the best part is that you can find them for cheap now.

These ARE personal pref's of course...it's like telling someone what "must see" movies or CD's to get.

I own Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed and COD4. All have their good points, you guys know it all really. I am completely bored with them.

At least COD4 (like RS Vegas) you can go back to every now and then and have fun.

I am about to trade Mass Effect and AC but there is nothing to trade for really.

- DIRT is a must have if you like racing.

- Rainbow Six: Vegas is a must have if you like a tactical shooter.(CoD4 also)

- Orange Box Half Life 2 is a must have if you like the best linear style story shooter.

- BioShock is another top notch linear shooter.

Other than that...some others are OK, ...it's all in your taste.

I personally didn't like a lot of the hyped games like GoW and Dead Rising.

Assassins Creed was the biggest let-down to me. I should like it but it has nothing to draw you in. Tha assassinations are like set pieces, the premise is laughable. The graphics and animation are outstanding though. To me it's just a graphic/animation showcase. No real game there to me...where is the sandbox gameplay they hyped? All the people do nothing...did these guys even play Oblivion? Oh Yea! that was a cool game if you don't mind wandering around.

Oh well...wait another year.

I have lowered my expectations for Grand Theft Auto now. I had high hopes but everygame that comes out is just a last generation game with nice graphics (not all of them of course, but a lot).

Cheers.

anyone try Ace Combat 6? let me guess...it sucks?

Yeah i tried Ace combat 6. I personally loved it. I have not purchased it yet because I want to get the pack with the flight stick which means i am going to save for it rather then buyingon a whim.

Thanks for all the replies guys, but I have another few questions.
1. I don't plan on going online, at least not for now, so what are games that are good even w/o the online content?
2. Worth it to buy CoD4 w/o online?
3. People have been talking about Mass Effect but it to me it doesn't quite fit what I want to play. BUT, it's in the RPG category and I've just been given a great first impression when I played my first RPG - Oblivion. So question is : If I liked Oblivion, would I like ME?
Oh yeah and BioShock disappointed me a bit on the PC.

Sonic, chromehounds, bomberman, vampire rain, eragon, pimp my ride, monster madness and harry potter.....

try those out, but don't rent them you must buy them..... right now.... and don't play another game. Heck, will you even need to? Look at all that quality!
