Re: Recommend an Xbox 360 game
GoW2 is okay. The story is much better this time round and the graphics are sublime. That being said this game still lacks substance and after completing the game I was left feeling "So that's it then?". The online Horde mode is brilliant though and of course there is online co-op to get through. Overall it's an 7/10 from me, certainly not worth the scores in the mags/online.
Fallout 3 is by and far one of the finest video games I've ever played. The level of detail is mind boggling, the story is incredible. It puts some people off as it can seem to be a slow paced game at times but believe me it's well worth the asking price. It has moments of pure genius and several times I've been blown away by how clever it is. It's worth a play through at least twice as you have the whole good/evil choices but to explore the whole map will take you around 50+hours. A must buy.
Dead Space is another incredibly great game and one that came as a surprise to me. I cannot emphasise how underated this game is. It blows most other survival horror games out of the water. It is genuinly scary and has made me jump many, many times. The atmosphere is spot on and you never quite know when you are going to be attacked next. It has a perfect difficulty balance (played on medium) where you have just enough ammo and health to get through but still at times you are wondering how the hell you will defeat the 6 mutated zombie creatures coming at you! The graphics are amazing, one of the best I've seen on the box and has some really cool zero-g moments too. Worth a few play through to get achievements. A must buy in my book.
