I just purchased an Xbox 360. I am getting Halo 3 and Forza 2. I will probably pick up another game or two. I don’t have a big budget for games, so I need to know what games are of the must-play variety. So I figure if I can compile everyone’s number one choices, I’ll have a quality list to choose from. So, what’s the best 360 game you’ve played, and why? ---

I don’t actually own a 360, but I partially own a copy of Rock Band since me and two friends split the cost to buy it. And it is an awesome party game. Single-player, I’ve tried Bioshock and Mass Effect and both are great. Also was pleasantly surprised at Call of Duty 4’s multiplayer even though I’m not that into FPS multiplayer. ---

Lost Odyssey: best current-gen RPG imo. Decent story, dreams are cool. Only downside is random battles. Mass Effect: Second best RPG, but a lot shorter than LO, and boring sidequests. Gear of War: Fun shooter. ---

CoD4 and Battlefield Bad Company are both good multiplayer games. ---

Dead Rising. It might as well be called Dawn of the Dead (there is a disclaimer on the box that says there’s no connection)…its a totally openended game where you are trapped in a mall with zombies. I like games where you can just screw around, and this game is perfect since every item not bolted down can be used as a weapon (even grab a metal shelf and start whacking!). The game also offers a real challenge if you actually want to beat it, and has enough new game + side quests to keep you busy for a long time after.r ---

Rainbow Six Vegas and Vegas 2. Vegas 2’s gameplay is improved in small ways that make it so much more of a joy to play than the first one, but they are a concurrent storyline and both are awesome. The team tactical play is just great. ---

Call of Duty 4 still gets the most playtime, even ten months after it’s release. I’ve almost got that gold cross in multi-player. ---

Bioshock Blue Dragon Lego: Star Wars (get the complete saga - it’s episodes 1-6 plus bonus content) I’ve purchased Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect, but haven’t started them yet due to our remodel. ---

Call of Duty 4 is great, but also you should wait a bit and pick up Falllout 3 when it comes out (end of october). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-game-for-xbox-360/462565.md?page=2)
