Guess it will be ported to ps3 sooner or later cuz most of the Xbox 360 users doasnt appreciate JRPG games and it wont do any good sales at that console,
sigh thats really sad ( dont get me wrong iam owner of both consoles but iam only saying the truth )Kashiwaba

I don't know what's about console owners and excusives - this is bullcrap. if your console is "better" your version will be better, otherwise why not wanting other people to have fun AND give money to the developers of a game you love (thus making them more inclined to make more good games like that)?

I don't have either last gen consoles but I'll grab a PS3 because of Street Fighter 4. The only reason is because Xboxes tend to melt (and to a lesser extent having a blue ray player) but I could not think worst of people that want heir gaming platform to have "exclusives".

I've been reading, I think I'll really like Eternal Sonata (even tough I HATE love triangle stories).

So, here's the "almost" final list:

RTS: C&C3

FPS: Orange Box

3rdPS: Gears of War

RPG: Oblivion

JRPG: Eternal Sonata

3D Fighting: Virtua Fighter 5

2D Fighting: Anything better/newer than SF2 here?

Racing: DiRT

Other: Bioshock, Viva Piñata, Ace Combat 6

Next batch:

Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, Soul Calibur 4

So, anything TOO wrong about that list? Other than that, any must have multiplayer game (to play with friends in my house, not over the Live!)

Thanks a bunch for yer time :)

If you're REALLY into Mass Effect, do it - you'll love to have the extra material while the mage is still that fresh and you're playing. If it's just "another" game for you, don't.

I'll tell you 2 quick stories.

1 - I have Half Life 2. Original. The BOX, retail version, with he CD key. I can't play it because it asks me to link the CD key to a steam profile, says it's ALREADY linked to an old profile. I can't discover my old profile login or keywork cause the old e-mail I had is no longer active.

2 - I bought C&C3 by EA eletronic downloader. The game don't run when my computer is offline - it must check EACH DAMNEDTIMEwith the server to check if I'm STILL me. I usually only play C&C3 when my connection fails and I'm not allowed to play WoW.

End of story,I did spend my cash and the games don't work anymore cause AE wants it that way because THEY must be safer aganist piracy and people that buy originals should be f**ked in the ass.

I'll NEVER buy something that way again UNLESS I read the contract and it's EXPLICIT that I can play whenever I want, online or not. If the contract says otherwise, I'll just grab the pirate version. They stole me, I can steal too. Long live the offended consumer!

Coldsteel 001 - What I meant is - I'm already grabbin 2 games in the "FPD/3rdPS" slot :)

Ok, so I'll grab the orange box (skipped it causa I have the basic HL2 for PC, but sound like a good deal rly).

As a 3d fighter I think I'll wait for VF5, videos are rly cool.

Jamie_1987, I don't like sports games, but thx :)

So, updated list:

Orange Box

Gears of War

Bioshock

Oblivion

C&C3

Viva Piñata

DiRT

Virtua Fighter 5

Any newer/better 2D fighting game than SF2 from live arcade? What about 1 or 2 more "traditional" RPGs (non-1st person)?

Thanks again!

Hello folks.

I decided to buy a Xbox 360 and now must decide wich games to buy.

I'm not swimming in cash after the console purchase, so please help me :)

The games I already know I'll grab:

Gears of War

Bioshock

C&C3

Viva Piñata

DiRT

So I'd like to stay clear of games like Halo3 or other 1st/3rp person shooters for now.

So, please name:

1 3D fighting game

1 2D fighting game

1 to 3 RPGs

1 "other"

Other than that, I'd love if you cold say "dont buy one from your list, this one is better" with arguments to base it.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

Inserting your computer requirements would make it MUCH easier.

BUT those any paleolythic machine can handle:

C&C
C&C: RA
Starcraft
Total Annihilation
Diablo 2

Secret of Mana

Rock'n Roll Racing

Final Fantasy VII

Street Fighter 2

C&C (the original one)

Total Annihilation

think that's my top list XD

Well, the game is what everyone expected: Total Annihilation with a few interface upgrades and a new, shinny graphics engine.

And the thing is - that's good!

I'm buying a new machine next month, then I'll be able to play it in medium/high specs :)
