Games I want to Jump In...

The 360 is actually the youngest last gen console I have, it was actually a gift from a friend. I don't normally play it often since I don't want it to break or Red Ring on me. I have loved the games I've played on it so far, though there are still some games I want to try. But before we continue, here is a list of blogs you might of missed:

Avidacridjam hates school sports

Travis Hawk's Kong a Day 7

Playdos is sick

Vice's Assistant needs ideas

daftman needs a break

Homelessrook's BaD Album

EpicGreenman's douchebags in gaming

Alex-C25's Sonic Fest

TheMart22 finishes Kotor 2

Jaime Alston is late

 

And with that out of the way, here are the Xbox 360 games I want to try:

Halo 4: This game came out in 2012 and I really wanted it, it even came out during the presidential elections, but who cares about that. I skipped on it because I didn't have money for it and I needed a Gold subscription to play with my friends. There's a GOTY Edition out now, I'll pick it up when I see it at a reasonable price since I love the games.

Forza games: I'm not really into sim styled games but racing is the one I make an exception on. I have Forza 2 and love the realism it brings to racing games. There's plenty of cars to choose from and the damage the cars is real. It's the only one I'v played and not sure if the rest are tge same. I do want to try Horizon since it looks more arcadey that simy.

Dead Rising : I only know of the series from Frank West from the vs. Capcom games. He did seem out of place in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, since he was the only character to talk in english. All I know is that you have to fight zombies and survive using makeshift weapons. In other words, it's a Macguiver simulator with zombies, that is worth checking out in my opinion.

Crackdown: This is an open world game were you use a cop with super powers. Sounds interesting, but heard it's pretty good. It's pretty cheap on Amazon so how bad can it be at that price?

Skyrim: This was pretty much everyones GOTY in 2011. I would have tried it on the PS3 since I always saw it for a cheap price. But the PS3 version is a glitchfest, like every Bethesda game on the PS3. There's a GOTY Edition out, I'm going to get it on the 360 because I would rathet pay extra than deal with glitches that can't be fixed.

Kameo: Elements of Power: A launch title by Rare. I always loved Rare, I even loved Nut's and Bolt's that it could be my favorite 360 game. I heard this game is an adventure game with a big world to explore. You can also change into different creatures and that is one thing Rare is known for.

Alan Wake: I heard this is a third person action game that has cinematics, like any game these days I guess. I also heard that the game has a good atmosphere and puzzles. Not sure if it counts as a horror game but I haven't played too many of those.

Left 4 Dead series: I think this game series is from Valve and it's a zombie game that relies on co-op. That sounds pretty fun, but the co-op part is what's stopping me since I don't know if you can go it alone. And no Gold subscription to enjoy what I guess is the main selling point.

 

http://www.justpushstart.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/xbox-one-not-having-gears-of-war.jpg

Gears of War series: I heard that these games innovated the third person shooter genre and has plenty of action and gore. I heard these games are more fun with friends. I would buy them but would rather co-op with someone.

Mass Effect 3: I was really late with these games but thanks to the 360 I was able to try the series from the start. I'm still only on 1 because being an rpg, it means that I will have to invest alot of time, and I'm afraid of the 360 overheating. I do play it in short bursts. I do plan on getting this one when I'm done with the games I have. I heard alot of people have a love-hate relationship with the game because of the ending, though dlc managed to remidy that. I'll be the judge of that once I try it.

Are there any 360 games you haven't tried yet? Thanks for reading and later.

Oh how I wish Kameo had launched on Gamecube as was planned.

Didn't know it was going to be for the Gamecube. I'd have it from a long time ago if it happened.

Yep, Left 4 Dead is from Valve.

Honestly, the reason why I prefer to buy a PS3 over a 360 it's because the exclusives. Other than the 360 Halo games and maybe Forza, nothing else seems to be of my interest, and besides, some of the games mentioned here are on PC, so I would most lickely get those versions instead.

Thanks for clearing it up. And you do make a good point, but it depends on every gamers perspective. Each console has it's merits but Sony does have more exclusives.

There are some many 360 games I want to play.  The sick thing is, I own many of them already. Embarassed

Ah, so you have them but haven't tried them huh? I have alot of games that I haven't tried too so don't worry.

Kameo is a great game, and feels like classic Rare.

Captain N

I should get it, it's probably the only Rare game I'm missing from the 360, next to the original  Perfect Dark.

Mass Effect and Gears are both great. I should get Kameo one of these days.

Captain N

02/09/2014 at 01:11 AM

I love Mass Effect so far, still need to get Gears. Need to get Kameo too.

In a perfect world, I'd have a 360 along with a bunch of other stuff. Maybe someday I'll get one.

Captain N

It'll probably be pretty cheap by the time you get one, and think of how cheap the games will be.

Crackdown is great. I wanted to really love Kameo but there were some control issues in a few areas that were too frustrating to stick with.

There's lots of Xbox 360 games I still want to play, Skyrim and Dead Rising 2 and 3 just to name a few.

Captain N

I really want to try Crackdown since I heard it's pretty fun. Might still try Kameo just out of curiosity. And pretty much all those games you mentioned.

I kinda want to replay Kameo. It was such a good idea. And it has such a cool variety of characters to play as and in so many different environments. There was just this one area where you had to slide down this ice slide and I kept falling off it. Drove me NUTZ!

Crackdown is the mcshizzle. I could jump back in right now and have a blast. Co-op is so awesome. Could just tool around and grab cars off gang members all day long.

Coincidentally I still need to get ME 3 and Gears of war 3. The prices on them are affordable too. I just can't do it this month!

Captain N

Me too, they are pretty affordable but I always have to buy something else.
