I dont read enough of the 360 web, dont really get the time and I admit I am pretty much so underclued about the console I dont know what the considered upcoming 'cream of the crop' are.
The shelves to me seem devoid of anything worth bothering with after my initial purchase of 5 games (Rockstar Table Tennis, Dead Rising, N3, PSU & Viva Pinata)

Just wondered what people here would be recommending for impending gaming greatness or just as a damn good game worth the purchase.

Crackdown is the next biggy.

If you haven't played Kameo, buy that. GRAW is very good and what about Gears of War?

Crackdown looks interesting (just had a quick scan).

Kameo and Ghost Recon I will certainly have a closer look at (probably ask if they could fire me a copy up in the local gamestation)...I have seen some cheap copies of Kameo floating around, so it may make it onto the purchase list.

Gears, I dunno.....I may have been listening to too many other opinions regarding that in terms of length of play time, I say that cos these days it has to be something really special to make me go back once completed. What is its replay value ?

Co-op and finding the tags are the replay in it. And also the increase in difficulty for those achievement points.

For some reason Army of Two looks really good to me...

Don't forget Bioware's Mass Effect, and there's also Bioshock which looks really creepy, and there's also a chance that Banjo Threeie could be good.

Then there's the obvious ones like Resident Evil 5, Halo 3, PGR4, Forsa 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Assasin's Creed, and the long overdue Too Human.

Damn, I want a 360.

It's one of the 1st games I'm gonna get once I get a 360

I won't be getting anymore 360 games until after the summer, when Blue Dragon, Halo 3 and Assasin's Creed come out. So far, my favourites are Gears of War, Kameo, and Dead Rising.

Crackdown is my next purchase(my opinion has changed since i played the demo again). I recommend getting a subscription to one of the game rental places, 15-20 a month for all the games you want (2 at a time). It's saved me a ton of money last year and also allowed me to play some really fun games I'd never want to spend 40 quid on due to length of gameplay.

Cheers, and Keep em coming if there are any more....gives me something to read up on in my spare moments.

The rental service idea I may have to look into if I can get it at the right price....Now we are back into the new year I dont know if I could get my vfm from such a service. (back to the grind, grabbing minutes from here and there etc)
