Dead Space is pretty good. Nothing exceptional but if you've got the time to waste one might give it a try.

Good xbox360 games?

So, I'm thinking about getting a xbox 360, but I'm not so familiar with the games. Are there any really good games, that is not fps? I'm sure Black Ops and Modern Warfare are great games, but it is not my kind of game. So any suggestions?

Oh, and I already know about Assasin's Creed and it looks awesome.

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

Why would you buy an Xbox 360 if you do not like FPSs? That's like buying a Wii, and only liking M-rated games! I'm serious here; I've been trying to think of a good non-FPS/TPS game for the 360, and I just can't do it (Well, there are some, but those are mainly not exclusives...)

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

I see. Should have realized that when IGN's top 25 list was 90% fps... Maybe I should reconsider getting a 360 then.

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

I'm normally all for people buying a new console, but when you want to get a console made purely of games you know you won't like, I just don't see the point...

Fable III.
(OR any of the Fable games for that matter, but I must point out that Fable III is glorious and I recommend it x1000000.)

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

Fable 3 is actually a good recommendation, except that I would not recommend getting a 360 for it, since it comes out for the PC December 15th.

I'm just saying

That's true. I prefer playing Fable on the 360, but that's only because I have one.
It'd make a lot more sense to get the PC version of it, if you didn't already own an Xbox.

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

Well, if your PC is so bad you wouldn't even be able to play it on Low, then I think buying a 360 would be less expensive. But still, if that's one of the few semi-exclusive games he'd want, I'd rather get a PC upgrade for any future PC games that he would possible like

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

Well it depends on WHY his PC is bad. A shiny new graphics card for 100 bucks will do wonders He doesn't neccessarily NEED a new computer.

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

That is also true, but if he bought it pre-built there's most likely some kind of blocker that makes him unable to upgrade his PC

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

So I'm on the 10-day trial for WoW. I really like it and am wondering if it's worth the money to buy an actual membership for it?

I'll be back in a few hours to check for responses, thanks!

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

WoW is a good time-waster. Is it worth the money? Well, if you like the trail AT ALL, then yes. But if you do not, then no. You probably know of how addictive it is and so, so play with caution, but I would buy it if I were you.

I don't play WoW anymore, but it was a good game

WoW IS addicting, but I can control myself, PC gaming most of the time hurts my wrist.

Well, since you're obviously a PC-gamer, then I don't see why not. Buy it. (You may want to wait for some other people's opinions though, but it's up to you)

Re: General Gaming Recommendations - review, rate, critique.

World of Warcraft, great game, but I recommend playing it during the summer or when classes are a little loose. Come test time and its either go questing or study, sometimes you'll be sucked into questing and in no time its 2 AM and you have no idea how ocean currents effect anything...

God I did horrible on that test.

But I got a nice little horsey for my Undead Mage
