Are there any like, hidden gems for 360? Great games but don't get the rep? And please not Fable 3 or CoD BO. I hated Fable 2 and the online sucks, IMO, for BO.

Peanut · 01-21-2011, 12:00 AM

Those are hardly what I'd call "hidden" games, let alone gems.

And I can't think of much off the top of my head as far as "hidden games", but recently games like Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom, Vanquish and Enslaved were totally overlooked. Then there's last years best game that everyone soon forgot, Darksiders. There are also a bunch of games people overlook that are actually a ton of fun like Overlord, 50 Cent: BotS, Beautiful Katamari, the Viva Pinata games, the two Mistwalker RPG's Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon, some cool hack and slash games like Viking and Conan. People even tend to overlook games like Bayonetta, Alpha Protocol, Dark Void, even the Wolverine Origins game, which was sh*t hot.

It kinda goes on. You can even get into some weird bad but good games like Tenchu Z and Way of the Samurai 3

*Brodie* · 01-21-2011, 09:09 AM

Oh yeah, Wolverine.

Also Ghostbusters.

Both of those are about 15 bones.

The Clerk · 01-21-2011, 12:19 PM

Well, just came back. I wanted to only spend 30 and not pay any more for things, soooo I got Mass Effect 2 and Fairytale Fights because it was 9 bucks LOL. Plus, my gf liked the demo for it so I figured she'll just play it.

I've been playing Black Ops for PC. I dunno if it's because I'm not as hardcore of a gamer as I used to be or I'm easily amused, but it's one of the best FPS's I've played in a long time. I'm talking about the Singleplayer, by the way.

*Brodie* · 01-22-2011, 06:02 PM

The single player is pretty trashy, Ai. Its probably because you're easily amused. Coming from MW2's sheer insanity and action film pacing, I was kind of bored with BLOPS super early, and wasn't really amused by their plot devices/twist(s). I picked up on the main "twist" when it was introduced, whilst in voice chat with Cure and Stryker, it was terribly done.

I also think BLOPS has so many boring locales, or situations in comparison to MW or MW2. Though the stuff IN Vietnam is actually pretty nice, as opposed to the stuff in all the "Grey Building #2" backdrops.

That's not to say MW or MW2 are amazing, by any means, I just think their pacing and locations were far more interesting.

Also? Avatar guy is an awful voice actor. Actor. He's awful at everything.

Leogeddon · 01-22-2011, 06:13 PM

I have no access to any of my video games right now
But the game I was playing a couple of weeks ago would be Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

I actually spoke too soon, because the mission with the dude you beat up in the beginning is so boring. The Vietnam mission is my favorite so far.

EDIT: I am easily amused because I just don't analyze games like I used to. I just play them for fun. For me, a game is good if it keeps my attention for more than 20 minutes.

A little *too* Raph · 01-22-2011, 08:28 PM

I just got Transformers: War for cybertron from gamefly last week, and just purchased Little Big Planet 2 yesterday. Both games are pretty swell

*Turo602* · 01-23-2011, 07:41 PM

Hell yeah!!! I got a perfect 1250 GS in Splinter Cell Conviction and only need 3 more achievements in Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. All I need to do is complete the Web of Destiny (which I only have 8 more challenges left) and buy all the character upgrades.

Both fairly simple s-ranks. If I had more time, I probably would have cleaned those up as well. Well, not Splinter Cell since you need to buy bullsh*t dlc for it.

On the other hand, I say that about a lot of games with easy points just sitting on my shelf. I know I could get quite a few points with less than 10 minutes of play in DR2, yet I still haven't done it. I was pretty hyped after beating 100,000 GS, but the fun has started to wane in achievement land lately.

Yeah same here. With Prince of Persia I only need three more as well. But I don't know if I want to pass it again so soon. But If I reached the 100,000 GS mark like you I would stop working so hard on getting perfects. That is one big milestone. I thought It was awesome when I reached the 10,000 GS. But now I got a lot more games and at least hoping to get over 50,000 GS by the time the 360 dies. If I have that much time at least. I think it's doable.

Peanut · 01-24-2011, 09:29 PM

It's easily doable if you're good enough at games and have a ton of free time.

Yeah, I'm good enough. The time is iffy. I also got a lot of Wii games to start and then there's the 3DS. But yeah, I think it's very doable. All I got to worry about is school, so I should have a lot of free time.

Nevermind, I can do it. I'm trying to beat my record from last year. I passed over 30 games so I can do it again.

*Samhain* · 01-25-2011, 04:48 PM

Just started Pokemon Emerald. Getting pumped for Black and White!

*Cure* · 01-25-2011, 07:05 PM

Dead Space 2, hooraaaaaaaaaay. Too bad I can't play it till tomorrow.

*Brodie* · 01-25-2011, 07:19 PM

Dead Space 2. And its awesome. And I'm happy. I'm only saddened by how little I'll get to play over the next few weeks.

Also, Medal of Honor FOR FREE.
