|
 |
Hi all, I've recently had an accident and will be off work for a few weeks, since there's been nothing out on xbox for a few weeks, I am bored!
Theres only so much of a PES5 master league you can play in one go, so what i'm asking is this.
A month or two ago, I discovered Beyond Good and Evil by accident, which was excellent, i must have missed it first time round, and i loved it. I was hoping someone could suggest some hidden/missed gems for me to go and grab to pass my hours away, I have around 300 games for my xbox and do make a habit of grabbing all i can, so a lot of suggestions might be ones i have, but if anyone can recommend a classic, i'd be very grateful! All opinions will be considered!! Any genre or size of game will do!
Please help !!

Have you thought of getting a few emulators and the roms to go with them?

Badurs Gate Dark Alliance II was very enjoyable if you like RPGs. The 1st was ok but not as good as the 2nd in the series
You wanted a Miracle, I give you the F. B. Eye !!

ok, few recent ones to go on with there.
What about the ones from the very early days of the xbox? Any of the really older games worth a look? The ones that came out before the modchips and stuff?

I've decided to give lord of the rings the third age a whirl for now, and punisher. Although punisher does get boring.
Spent many a spare hour so far on LOTR TTA, time i didn't have when it was released

Both Oddworld games are great as is sphinx & the cursed mummy which is a game i almost missed but played to the end and loved its a little slow for the first hour but its awesome overall very mario adventure'ish.
As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.

I'd like to add a game I really like. *sigh* I wish I had more time to play my Xbox games, but typically it's like:"Oh, a new game! Let's see what this is.". Then I play for about 15 minutes, reset my Xbox, and put anohter one in... It's not that I'm picky or that I don't like games; rather the contrary I'd say. I like most of my games, though I have to admit that, for some of them, I didn't go out and buy them. So I'm not a person who hates everything that's released. I have a few buddies who are my total opposites; they dis and mock all the games for most of the systems.
'nuff 'bout that. Yes, the game I would like to introduce you to is: *drumroll*
Mortal Kombat:Shaolin Monks by Midway
I normally don't like beat'em-ups, at least not in the SF II series style. So when I got this game my first thought was "Hmmm, another brutal two-characters-punding-eachother-senseless fighting game". But when I started to play the game I realized that this was a huge step away from the normal bashing.
Hard to pigeonhole. Think "Mortal Kombat" in a "Final Fight" brawler, move the scenery from the cityslum to a more serene setting on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. I said serene, but wait 'til the bad guys arrive
All charcters are superbly modeled and the voice-overs aren't awful. The movies are absolutely stunning. PLUS you and a friend can play together in Ko-Op Mode, making a great game become awesome.
Of course, you can play by yourself but things tend to get a little bit harder without a partner.
Other games I'd recommend:
The Bard's Tale - InXile
Buffy the Vampire Slayer:Chaos Bleeds - Sierra
Burnout Series - Acclaim/EA Games
Crimson Skies:High Road to Revenge - MS Game Studios
OutRun2 - Sega
Robotech:Invasion - Global Star
Star Wars:Ep. III:Revenge of the Sith - LucasArts
Still Life - Microids
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 - EA Sports
Of course there are many other great games but now you've been given new ideas. I hope you find and play a game you like.
Get well!

Aside from a few very irritating puzzles that didn't click well with my own logic I'd also say Still Life was a good game.
If you play it and find that you like it russ_beer you could also check out Syberia and Syberia 2 if you haven't played them before. There made by the same developers and if your somebody that reads alot into ratings Syberia had the better review scores across the sites.
