Yo, wassup guys. I am getting an X Box 360 for X-Mas and I was wondering, from gamer to gamer, what a couple of good games to check into? I've heard good things about Saints Row, because it's like GTA, Dead Rising, I love zombie games, and Gears of War, which I heard is just badass, but all I know i'm getting is Pocketbike Racer from Bk. ( Lol ) and I get a lot of giftcards, so are those all good or are there others? Just need something to check into, thanks

1.Gears Of War
2.Dead Rising
3.Oblivion

If you're into RPGs, I'd definitely recommend Oblivion, but aside from that the games you mentioned look pretty good.

Edit: Yeah, what he said.

Saints Row is great just because of its replay value. Definately a slot better than Dead Rising for that reason, Gears of War being #1 game regardless.

Gears Of War,Saints row,Dead Rising and Oblivion are my favorites.

if you like shooters, you cant go wrong with either Gears of War or Rainbow Six Vegas. FEAR is alright though not as good as the other two.

Oblivion of course for RPG games, also good if you just want a loooooooooong-ass game to keep you busy for a long time (you can play for over 100 hours and still not be half way through it).

Saints Row if you like GTA games, Dead Rising if you want to kill millions of zombies waiting for Resident Evil 5 to come out, Need For Speed Carbon is great if you like racing, WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 07 for your wrestling fix (also the only 360 wrestling game so far, not counting the porno game Rumble Roses).

other than that, the other games are not quite up to par with the previously listed ones. Chromehounds is about the only Mech type game on 360 so far but ive heard it sucks royally, so most ppl are waiting for Mech Assault 3 or Armored Core 4 which possibly will come to 360 (we can only hope!).

Sorry to hijack your thread but I heard bad things about Dead Rising. I read somewhere that you can't save the game during the story or something? Is it true, or am I just day-dreaming? xD

you can only save in restrooms and on the bench in the security room, which is really lame.

I don't find it lame at all. The restrooms aren't exactly that far apart are they? It gives you a bit more of a challenge to reach one with low health, than if you could save anywhere.
