If you’ll be playing online at all, I recommend **Left 4 Dead**. It’s the first FPS I’ve encountered where teamwork is absolutely essential to success; anyone who goes it alone Rambo-style will get creamed. And it’s mighty fun playing as the Infected. But I say “online” because the solo campaign really isn’t that impressive; it’s short and kinda easy to finish with AI teammates. The game really shines in online multiplayer Versus mode. ---

The game really shines in online multiplayer Versus mode. Any recent FPS is like this, with regards to teamwork, by the way. ---

And I sure hope the second one is better than the first (the original isn’t a bad game, but as I have come to expect from a Molyneux game, Fable did not deliver what was promised). ---

_Left 4 Dead_ is a blast. ---

And I sure hope the second one is better than the first (the original isn’t a bad game, but as I have come to expect from a Molyneux game, Fable did not deliver what was promised). they should have called 2 “Fable 1.5” because it’s very similar in every way but more fleshed out. It’s basically, in a lot of ways, what they wanted for Fable 1. That said, it’s not an amazing game, but it is cool. The dog is neat, but he gets f-in annoying after awhile. My recommendation for Fable 2 is to get some money by doing a job (you can’t get money by killing things) and then immediately start buying up property. Once you make a couple hundred every 5 minutes or whatever it is, then turn off your system and wait a couple days. You earn money when your console is off, so when you come back in you’ll have some decent cash. Then buy up a bunch more property, etc. You’ll never have to work again (I was getting somewhere around 9000 gold every 5 minutes. The most expensive weapon I ever bought was 80,000 or so) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-xbox-360-games-should-i-buy/486280.md?page=1)
