Kinectimals... you know it's true.

Battlefield:Bad Company 2 is an excellent game, especially online, I`ve only had it a week & I prefer it to COD already.
Red Dead Redemption is worth a look as well , one of the best games I`ve ever played.

BF3 is coming out really soon,i know theyve been saying that for years but this time its actually going to happen and has been announced by EA

BF3 is BFBC2 With Fighter Jets

define 'best'

is the best game the one that you enjoy more than anything else?
is it the game that has the longest, most challenging campaign / story?
is it one that is visually stunning?
is it the game you stick in to do a random mission every now and then?
is it the game you play for hours on end on live?

at the risk of sounding camper than a row of pink tents, for me - gaming is best when you can sit witrh a decent mate and co-op a game start to finish.


a game series that gets a lot of stick (undeservedly in my opinion) is army of two. play it on your own and its an average game....... play it with a mate who isn't a complete tool and it is one of the best games on the console.

One of my mates and me quite often send the wives out for the night, drop a second telly in the front room and system link our boxes and co-op a game, on the hardest difficulty mopping up every possible achievement if they are enough of a challenge / giggle to pick up. The best moments we have had have come from gears of war 1 & 2.

co-op gears 1 on insane in less than 5 1/2 hours in an evening and you are filled with a very warm, fuzzy feeling! co-op horde mode of gears 2 from start to finish with just the two of you and you will get a similar buzz. besides, there is something really satisfying about kerb stomping someone!

so - to cover all eventualities, the games i will always fall back onto are....

best driving game - forza 2 (3 isn't as challenging IMHO)
best fps online - COD 4
best fps campaign - ghost recon 2
best over the shoulder - gears 2
best sports game - tiger woods 08
best game for when you want a quick buzz in a spare 15 minutes...... - bulletstorm
best shooting game (any type) - operation flashpoint
best sandbox / free roam - fallout 3 OR vegas, hard to split the two.


essentially, i don't think you can put a name to the 'best' game unless you have other criteria!

undeniably the worst game ever concieved......... fracture. It had all the promise of an attractive young thai girl but when you actually started to play with it you realised it was just balls.

and for my ultimate anti-climax game - halo 3

ultimate anti climax = the whole halo series!

im bored to death of them now after playing the first four on legendary :?

erm best was kind of open ended
your list is awesome though

i wouldve also taken 'the game that has it all'

I'm getting a bit bored with all the games released without much in the way of testing :evil: Instead relying on the community to find the glitches and bugs for them.

simple.

fallout 3 / new vegas

its a fps if you want it to be, its an adventure game if you want it to be, its tactical if you want it to be, its a game you can play 5 times over and get 5 different results and experiences. if you want a game that has it all, all fallout is missing is the option to use vehicles. imho nothing touches it - you can plug 60+ hours into a campaign and still be uncovering new tricks to keep you amused.

nice
i had it on my laptop but deleted it due to me being lazy to setup xpadder and my controller

[cyfa2809]

too expensive already!
i have seen copies of it cheaper though

 

[jax13]

if you want, i can loan them to you - i won't be playing them in the near future so if you promise to ship them back when your done i'll happily send them down to you!
