I'm thinking of getting an X-Box 360, what are the essential games I should get? I like racing games and first person shooters the most, but I have recently gotten into third person combat games. I don't like sports games very much.
I would also recommend Dead Rising. Even my girlfriend likes to play this game.
Honestly I would suggest getting the console and going down to the video store and hiring a couple of things to try out. There is nothing worse then following someone recommendation and spending your cash on a game that they love only to find out that it isn't your cup of tea.
Test Drive is also good, but some aspects of the game suck ass, the cops for example once you get to 3 starts NEVER go away unless you pay a huge fine.
Or do what I have just done.
Crack it open, flash the DVD drive firmware so it will play "backup" games and then they are just the cost of a DVD+R DL disk.
I'm still working up the courage to flash my cell phone, I'm not going to open up my brand new 360.
what do you guys think of FEAR. i played the PC demo and thought it was amazing. 360 version looks pretty good too
