What Xbox games?

Hey,

I've just won an Xbox 360 Pro, I'm sure it comes with

Lips, Halo Wars, Halo 3, GPR4, viva pinata trouble in paradise and you're in the movies, among a few accessories.

I've ordered Fable II GOTY, Tales of Vesperia and preordered Magna Carta 2.

I like RPG games, especially JRPG.

I'll buy all my main games for the PS3 so I'm only looking for Xbox exclusives, but I don't think something like Gears of War 2 is my cup of tea.

Any cracking exclusives that I might have missed?

Re: What Xbox games?

Hi Dan - congrats on the win, nice one. Mass Effect is another 360 exclusive RPG. The exploration aspect can get a tad repetitive, but still well worth the money considering it can be had for buttons these days.

Re: What Xbox games?

I played Mass Effect on the PC, great Storyline, kept me hooked until I completed it.

I'll look forward to Mass Effect 2 though, and if it's exclusive to the Xbox 360 for a considerable period before it finds it's way to the PC. I might get it!

Thanks, I entered a free prize draw on the bacardi website

I had Oblivion and Fable for the PC, but Fable II i'm looking forward to playing.

Overlord and Overload II really aren't my thing

Re: What Xbox games?

I know you said no to gears of war 1 and 2 but as a single player game they are both excellent and can be picked up pretty cheap these days i think you should give them a whirl

My mate has crackdown, but I wasn't keen. I didn't buy prototype or that other one for the ps3 either which seem like similar games.

Eternal Sonata though was pretty good, I let my girlfriend play it through because it lacked depth of menus for me, though I enjoyed listening to the story when she played.

That's what I like to hear I've been long awaiting FFXIII since the PS3 came out.. and I'd been watching the JPRG's come and go on the Xbox.. so sad.
