Hi

just got a XBOX 360 as a gift and need recommendations on what games to get?

Ive always had playstations since they first come out (will be getting a PS3 soon after I get bored with the 360), mainly played car racing games (GT1,2,3 &4) and little bit of shooting and sports.

so something with good graphics, not too complicated but fun, and also multi player capable so you can play with mates.

cheers

Gears of War is fun...

ive got saints row and Tony Hawks P8 but havent played either yet... but apparently Saints Row is alot of fun too...

P.S. does anyone have Dead Rising that they dont want anymore and would sell/trade?

dead rising was discontinued about november last year for no apparent reason. You can still get it if you find it, but there are no official copies coming into australia anymore.

Also saints row is going classic soon so it will be 49.95.

+1 for Gears of War, it has offline 2 player splitscreen co-op in campain mode and is still awesome.

GRAW 1 & 2 are also both pretty good, they both have lots of multiplayer options and support offline 4 player splitscreen. I'd say that I liked GRAW 2 more than 1 in regards to multiplayer, because it has more maps. GRAW 1 had a few good ones, but some were really small and over pretty quickly. GRAW 2 looks better too. :P

Rainbow Six: Vegas has a good co-op mode as well for 2 people (can be offline) and is pretty good.

hey dude, ill throw up another vote for gears of war. its a fairly good representation of what the 360 can do at the moment and is good cause you can co-op with your mates

forget nba 07 unless your into sport games btw

graw (i havent played graw2 online yet) is a good game regarding graphics but you may find that the mulitplayer is less enjoyable than a game such as COD2.

i know COD2 was a launch game but even though the graphics were of a lower standard the gameplay (or playability if you will) was a lot better than graw

feel free to add me as well my gamertag is ' spinpsycle '

cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

I was a big fan of PGR2 and have played a little bit of PGR3, I think it's pretty good but is a little bit easier; finishing arcade mode in PGR2 with all gold medals was insanely hard! You can pick PGR3 up very cheaply now if you look around, it also comes packaged with the official 360 steering wheel (which is awesome). But there's no 4 player offline splitscreen!

get Test Drive Unlimited... awesome game... they mapped the main island of Hawaii, google earth style and you can drive every inch of it... its all in correct proportion too... insane

that being said my 360 has shat itself after only 12 months... tis super ghey... going to chip it now and never pay for games again

Gears of war is a must buy especially if you gonna play online.

forza 2 comes out 14 of june. I didnt like the first 1 but they have reallly, really spent some serious time into the realisticness of this one and i think it should be a gem of a racing game.

I like nfs games. both carbon and most wanted are both heaps of fun on it.

Call of duty 3 is kick ass as.. as everyones saying get a 5.1 sound system and prepare for audial bliss.

PGR3 is quite fun and its damned hard to get all platinum medals too.. specially on the cone challenges (which my mate seems to think he should be so good at even though he doesnt play video games)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
