I found an Xbox 360 S 4GB with all the cords, a controller, and a Kinect at my local Goodwill the other day. Since it was priced at roughly half of what other stores are offering it for these days, I naturally snatched it up. Now I need some games to play! I already have Skyrim and Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. There's so much available for the platform that I'm kind of overwhelmed. Do any of you have recommendations or favorites to share? I'm not a huge fan of FPS or sports games, but I'm open to pretty much everything else. |

They are kind of hard to find, but I recommend picking up some of the shmups on the system that we got here. I'd definitely recommend Raiden Fighters which is a compilation of the Raiden Fighters games, which are all great. Also Raiden IV and Deathsmiles are great too. If you want to import an incredible game, I'd recommend Mushihimesama Futari; it's a top five shmup of all time for me. |

As the 360's my core collection focus, I think I can give a few recommendations. First things first, you need a hard drive. Besides being required for many major late-era games, installing any game improves performance, loading speeds, and strain on the system. Skyrim, for example, will make your system sound like it's trying to kill itself if you don't install. You'll also need it to be able to download any major piece of DLC or Arcade title. Another thing to note is Microsoft's Games for Gold program. If you have Xbox Live Gold, you get 4 free games a month, 2 for the One, and 2 for the 360/Original Xbox. While you can only access the One titles while you have a Gold membership (but can lapse and resubscribe), the others are yours to keep. The current free 360 game is Far Cry 2. Anyhoo, on to the games. From my collection, I'd recommend the following: Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom Alpha Protocol Assassin's Creed Series Batman Arkham Series Bayonetta Beautiful Katamari Blue Dragon Borderlands Series Deus Ex: Human Revolution Dishonored Dragon Age Series (Inquisition is best on One/PS4) Dynasty Warriors 7 Dynasty Warriors 8 Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 Earth Defense Force Series Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard Fable Series Fallout 3 Fallout New Vegas The Godfather Halo: Reach Kingdoms of Amalur Lego Batman Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Lego The Lord of the Rings Lost Odyssey Marvel Ultimate Alliance series Mass Effect series (Games must be played in order and with the same character for best effect) Mercenaries 2 Minecraft Mini Ninjas Mirror's Edge Naughty Bear Overlord series Portal 2 Red Faction: Guerilla The Saboteur Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution The Simpsons Game SoulCalibur series South Park: The Stick of Truth Star Wars: The Force Unleashed series Tales from the Borderlands Tales of Vesperia Viva Pinata series The Walking Dead series The Witcher 2 The Wolf Among Us X-Men Origins: Wolverine Arcade Titles: Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons Castle Crashers Dust: An Elysian Tale Geometry Wars series N+ series Peggle Penny Arcade Adventures Series Portal Puzzle Quest series Splosion Man series Super Meat Boy The Maw The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition Torchlight |
