Probably because they're not exclusive to the 360.

[sammy657]

Left for dead gta 4 and resident evil 5 :D

Dont go hitting on the resi 5 people i was hooked last night

[dunk05]

If you enjoy lego batman, then lego starwars is a must. Do they have to be
Xbox exclusive?

The Gears of War games are great too

[davemulheran]

Yeah xbox exclusives guys, ive got a ps3 for all the rest.

so far im going to grab Left for dead (#2 is out soon isnt it?)

Thinking about the latest Halo.. ? good idea??

If you have a Gold Xbox Live membership Left for Dead is great (I think you can do Split Screen co-op so if you have a 2nd pad and a buddy it should be good too) it's OK playing single player but the cooperative gameplay and "A.I. Director" really forces people to work together and that takes the game up several notches. I think the game was made for cooperative play.

I really like the Halo franchise (I know some on here don't but I like it). It's a great FPS series which is well suited to consoles. Online play is also very active so it's very easy to get into a game. There is a lot of multiplayer map DLC for Halo so it might be worthwhile getting Halo 3 (for the campaign) cheap and then picking up Halo 3: ODST (for it's campaign, Firefight mode and it contains a 2nd disc with Halo 3's multiplayer and all the current multiplayer map DLC packs).

Also if you want to try out a console RTS Halo Wars isn't a bad exclusive either. There is a demo of it on Xbox Marketplace to try out.

Sorry OT, but where did you get this deal from?
Should have come with an extra controller, right?

[sammy657]

+1 on left for dead

Can pick it up in game now preowned for 19:98 standard edition. But i did see the game of the year edition preowned on wednesday for the same price.

Get the both of them l4d 2 and the first one. Great games

Also cant get enough of resi 5 at the moment and forza 3

[noisecrime]

Dont forget about xbox live arcade, some great games there although no idea if they are exclusive, i know some are on PC too, but not sure about ps3. E.g. Braid, Shadow Complex, Trails HD etc

[qwerty321]

Crackdown is fantastic. Much better with mate, had so many laughs on it.

The skiptank is something that you need to try on there

[Brogan]

Orange Box is still my favourite game(s) for the XBox.
