Good XBox 360 Purchases

I got my eyes on you.
 Well, I should be coming into some money and free time very soon. I plan putting some away for NEW Super Mario Bros Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2.


However, I think the XBox 360 needs some gaming love as well. Any recommendations for some games for it. I'm looking into Fable 2, Bioshock and maybe Viva Pinata. I'm not much of an FPS person and won't be getting using XBL anytime soon (need to get the WiFi converter thingy which costs heaps), so some nice 1P games would be nice.

Also, what about some XBox games (where the backwards compatibility will actually work)?

 Zomg! Do you have a 360? Or are you just planning on buying one? *isjealous* I'll probably buy one when I get my tax back... hopefully...

 My brother bought one, but it seems to live at my house (has been living at my house for months but I've been too busy to play it.) :P He'll be moving back home after the school year as well, so I suspect I will live at my house for a fairly long time.

 Oh yes, I was looking at that for PC. Looks quite good. I believe a sequel is coming out soon for it as well. I suspect it would be pretty cheap as well, seeing as it's in the 360 'Classics'.

THE MAJOR RAGER ON THE 6-STRINGED MOTHER%$@!ER!...I wish...
 I wouldn't go for Fable 2 unless you REALLY like the demo. =/ There's about 10 enemies in the whole game, and it's fairly short. It's fun for a while, but it gets REALLY repetitive and it isn't quite what I thought it'd be...anyways, if you like beat 'em ups or playing with friends, Castle Crashers is a REALLY good choice. And Soul Calibur IV's a good fighter, and I heard Tekken 6 is good too, but I've yet to play it. Oh, and you DO know Bioshock is an FPS, right? XD

Yes, but it looks cool despite that. :P

I have BK: N+B and I don't know the songs on the RB 2 tracklist.

As for beat-em ups, eh, it's really SSB or nothing.

GTA IV seems like a must, though I haven't played one since the birds-eye-view GTA 1. xD Saints Row looks alright as well.

But yeah, Assassain's Creed looks like a good choice for me. What other action/adventure titles are there?

 You could just google xbox 360 games, I'm sure that that would give you many answers. XD I asked mum if I can get one for chrissie/birthday.

 Yes, I've done that Hannah, but I'd like to get some people's opinions as well. *Facepalm*

Mass Effect isn't looking too bad either.

Mmm, the reviews sound alright, but it sounds really short. :/ Maybe I'll rent it.

 Dead Rising is probably the best 360 exclusive you can buy. It's a great Zombie sandbox game.

I have that on Wii. :P It wouldn't be much different on the alternate consoles, considering you wouldn't expect epic graphics from a catoony game. The controls were a little weird to get used to though, from what I remember.

And Fable is compatible because I Googled it. :P

 Yeah I just found a list of compatible games on wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360. It sounds like they are continually updating their emulator to allow an increased range of compatible games. Yeah lol, wii tends to suck with adventure type games though coz of the controls. A also want Crash Bandicoot now that I remember thats on xbox... What games have you got on yours already rach?
