w00t, got me a 360 FINALLY!

[Kearnzo]

Well after waiting months, I finally garnered up the courage to drop the XBOX and PS2 and pick up the 360. Got 200 bucks in trade ins total from the XBOX and PS2 consoles, along with the "any 3 games for 10 dollars store credit" offer. So, after picking up the Premium pack, Table Tennis, and FIFA 2006, along with the battery charger for the controller, I spent about 300.

I'm pondering now what else to pick up. I have about another 100 as of right now I could afford to spend on games, and in a week or two, another couple hundred or so. I know on Tuesday i'm picking up NCAA 07, but other than that, I have no idea. I thought about COD2, but with the price still at 60 bucks, I think i'll wait. Any advice on another game? I've seriously thought about Condemned as well, how is that?

To me, for single player, Condemned is still the best game on the 360. Fantastic story, amazing graphics, and it just grips you like no other 360 game has in a long time. For my money, the best 360 games are Condemned, GRAW, and COD2.

Thanks for the input man. It's pretty much down to Condemned and COD2 aside from NCAA right now. Like I said, with COD2 still being 60 bucks, I think i'm gonna go with Condemned. Plus, from what you said with how Condemned "grips" you, it just appears to be a gaming experience that we haven't really seen before, so I gotta check it out.

Couldn't agree more with the entire post man. Condemned has the best single player by far. The entire game just sucks you in. I loved playing it at night with the surround sound on, a very good gaming experience. As far as multiplayer goes, you can't get much better than Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

It definately is a gaming experience that we haven't seen before. Look at it this way, I've owned both COD2 and Condemned, and enjoyed both. But when GRAW was released, I traded in COD2. Condemned is still in my collection. If you're a CSI fan, you'll really enjoy this game. If you're a FPS guy, you'll enjoy the game. If you like a good story with great graphics, and solid controls/gameplay. Get Condemned.

Condemned is 49.99 now as well, at least at Walmart it is. And it's a must to play it in the dark with sourround sound up. It's a lock that you will jump out of your seat a few times.

Sheesh, you guys are making this an easy decision, haha. Thanks for the impressions bro.

With GRAW, I think i'm going to wait on that as well. Not because of the money, but because I don't have Live yet.

Not sure if you use eBay, but Condemned can be bought there for around 30, maybe cheaper.

Like Scott said, definately have your surround sound cranked up, and make sure the room is pitch black. My wife actually enjoyed watching me play this at night, as it'd scare the **** out of her too.

Ditto, my wife jumped several times. I just played through it again a week or 2 ago.

Awesome, thanks for the looking out man. Didn't even think to try Ebay. I can probably pick COD2 up on Ebay as well for a lot less than 60.

I played through it twice so far, might go back and do it again. But with football less than a week away, chances are slim.

No doubt, eBay is great for older games. Heck sometimes you can get a good deal on fairly new games on there. Depending on the demand.

I think i'm gonna rent FN first to see how I like it. I wasn't a fan of the first two, but this one does look great. Man, with all of these recommendations, i'm just coming to realize how many great games the 360 has, and how many of them I want :y4:

Oh, and BTW, for anyone who happens to not have Table Tennis yet, it is probably the most addicting game I have ever played. For having so few modes, it SURE does keep you hooked for hours. Such a blast to play. I've already had volleys reach about 100 hits a few times against the computer.
