almighty has a 360!! Thoughts and game sugestions

Hit the marketplace, download some demos I'm sure you'll find plenty of stuff you haven't tried.. If you like racing games give Forza a try.

 

Your first purchases should be Trials Revolution and Geometry Wars 2. Castle Crashers, Toy Soldiers: Cold War, Shadow Complex, Splosion Man, LIMBO, From Dust and Bastion are all incredibly good. Those are all downloadable Live Arcade titles. You may have played some of those on the PC. I know some, or most, are now available on PC.

Gears of War 3 is great. I liked Fable 2 and 3 a lot. A lot of the other exclusives have found their way over to the PC over time, or they're just old and dated now. Forza is pretty popular if you like racers, and you know what Halo is and have those. I've heard Ninja Gaiden 2 is great, though incredibly hard. It's different than the one on PS3. Not sure if either was on PC. Skip Crackdown and Crackdown 2. First is dated and the second sucked. Dead Rising was a fun exclusive (now dated), though you'd probably have more fun with the sequel which is maybe on PC? Seems like a gamepad game to me, so if you have one for pc that still works.

 

Bayonetta is really good as well.

 

Yeah, I'm trying to think of games that were multi-platform between the 360 and PS3 that weren't on the PC.

Probably not complete, but it will have the major ones.

I'd also recommend turning the X360's internal scaling back on. It will most likely do a much better job than your PC monitor in scaling the image up to the monitor's native resolution.

And while not a hugely popular or technically advanced game. I personally love the Dynasty Warriors series for it's glorious hack and slash combat. IMO - Much better and more satisfying than the similar type of combat that God of War copied but without the platforming or graphic aspects that GOW included. In other words, the combat is similar but better. But in all other respects the games are completely different.

Oh Dynasty Warriors. So many lost hours of my life training my Lu Bu to godlike status. That is truly what I miss most about console gaming

 

Oh yes, all those hours training, doing levels over and over to try to get better items or whatever depending on which version of DW.

When it first came out on PS2 I just discarded it as being a simple game that I'd have no interest in. Then I played it years later at a friend's house and about 6 hours later of continuous play, I decided I had to have it and have been hooked ever since. For such a relatively simple concept the execution is brilliant and the gameplay is addictive. Assuming a person is into these sorts of games that is. It's enough that it got me into the genre as a whole. Gundam Warriors, Samurai Warriors... Ah so much time. None of them could quite match Dynasty Warriors though.

Oh, another downloadable title: Outland.

 

btw reduce noise significantly by install game to. hdd or usb flash disk

 

Yeah, the disc drive in those fatties is pretty annoyingly loud.

 

Red dead redemption !

 

No PC version still? Then I agree with this, 100%. That's one I wouldn't skip.

 

and play it with installed

really help with the immersion due to faster loading and able to hear environment sounds

 

Yeah, Red Dead Redemption is still not on PC, and when I tried it (for free on PS Plus) this summer, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. I like it way better than any GTA game. So that's a must play, and should keep you occupied for quite a while.

 

Continue to play and you will get used to it, there are some crazy players in the Gears games with the snipers.

Now about the game recommendations...
