Ive been playing my 360 all day and ive rented a lot of games over the last month or so and honestly theres not many games that are really good. Now im not counting arcade. Im only counting retail games. Beseides Oblivion, PGR3 and 2-3 others there not many REALLY good games that are out. And hopefully next month will help this game libarary

I think there are plenty. I suppose it just depends if they're in genres you care about.

  • Oblivion
  • GRAW
  • Burnout Revenge
  • Condemned
  • CoD 2
  • Dead Rising
  • Lego Star Wars II
  • NBA 2K7
  • Madden 07
  • Saint's Row
  • NCAA 07
  • Table Tennis
  • Top Spin 2
  • Enchanted Arms
  • Fight Night
  • Tiger Woods 07


That's a helluva nice library--but yeah, there's some nice stuff coming next month too.

ill give you those bolded ones but i dont see anything else on there that was worth buying. Dead rising was good but had a lot of problems(save points). And i think this is what happens with most X360 games.

And can you really count sports games? There on every system,even the DS. And some people arent into wasteing 60 a year for a roster update(me).



NOTE: The games i put in italics i havent played

Actually, I think the 360 is leaning for a more adult gaming.

Star wars lego and viva pinata seem to be the only young kid themed games.

Not that I am complaining because I like the games for the 360, but I'll pick up the wii for the kid games.

If you like squad games, check out Chromehounds. I hear somebody has a clan in the game... I can't remember who right off the top of my head... but...

Maybe your post should have been "360 doesn't have very many good games in the few genres I like--even though I haven't really played a large part of the library."

What kind of games are you into? I don't get when you said do sports games count. If you don't play them then to you no, but there are many great sports titles and other games that are on the 360

I was NEVER into RPGs. Never saw a Harry Potter nor read nor saw any of the lord of the rings,but I play the heck out of Oblivion. That was money well spent.

Do you play multiplayer games? b/c Fight Night is great for the college aged people (me) we can have our own "fight night" and play and watch all night. The sports games are OK I like NHL 07 and NHL 2k7 is a nice "party" game (imho) Double Agent is sweet, if your into that kind of game. I have made it nearly a ritual of playing Tiger Woods 07 with my brother on Sunday mornings

So like I stated b4 what kind of games are you into?

I like everything besides sports games and platformers. Sports games on are every sytem and are always the same. If you were considering which console to get a sports game wouldnt help you decide. There the same on every system. PS. Ea sucks and so does everything they make. Im not into paying for cheats

That's true for you--but contradicts the reality of the industry.

If you don't like sports games, or platformers, then they all feel the same. That's fine. But for someone who likes sports games, the difference in how they play on the various platforms--and from year to year--is huge.

Madden is a system-seller. Period. Always has been. And sports games occupy 4-5 spots on the year's 10 best-selling games--every year.

Tell that to Europe when they go to buy a console and want to play soccer/football.

Soccer is different. Its not that big of a sport(in america) so when it comes around that is a seller b/c its not on every console always. At least the good ones arent. And yes madden sells alot but not to REAL gamers. They sell to fake gamers that only want grpahics and dont know news and only play 1-6 hours a week
