i made a Star wars:The force unleased thread if anyones intresed in it

That's the other game I'm going to get. As for PES2008, it's very good, still the same with dodgy team names for the premiership, but that's forgiveable.

I've tried FIFA08 and I preferred PES

[Ultimate_Gohan]

Alright, here's the games I own by now:


FIFA 07
Spiderman 3 (awful)
Pro evo 6 (pretty lame for a 360 game)
Gears of War
Just Cause
COD4
Spiderman: Friend or Foe (kiddie game but cool)
Virtua Fighter 5 (not that great, really)
SoF Payback
Forza 2
Oblivion
RS Vegas
Orange Box
Need for Speed: Pro Street
Bioshock
Halo 3
Kane & Lynch
NBA 08
Asssassin's Creed
PGR4

That's all.

I thought FIFA 07 was a bit light on content, like PES6. It looked great, and was fun to play, but you couldn't do a normal league, only the stupid challenges and manager mode which I thought wasn't much fun, I just wanted to play! I like manager games, but not weird hybrids between management and actual playing, I don't like master league either.

[Ultimate_Gohan]

I think FIFA07 lacked gameplay, It was stupid, dull and unrealistic. It was so different from the PS2/PC. I remember while playing with my cousin he scored to me a goal from his own net to mine!! I swear!
PES is overall a better game. I think I'll buy Pes2008.
Except that, which game you recommend me to buy right now? (considering I'm a fps,action- adventure fan)

[chimney_leaf]

You already have all of the good games that have just come out, but if I had to recommend something you don't have, I'd recommend F.E.A.R. It's a little old now, and I've not played the expansion packs, but the original is a great game. Excellent shooting mechanic and scary as hell.

A lot of the early football games of this generation were lacking, partly because they were getting the graphics and gameplay down. I played FIFA07 PES6 on the PS2 with my cousin, and there was so much more content, such as leagues, players, etc, but now they seem to have sorted it out.

I don't think you'd go wrong with either of FIFA08 or PES2008, according to reviews, this year's FIFA is pretty much as good as PES

[Ultimate_Gohan]

I've seen F.E.A.R: Files in the store I go to buy the games but I didn't bother buying it. Is it really that good?
I think I'll go with PES2008. Another question, Is FIFA 08's gameplay the same as FIFA 07's? (If yes then I'll go with PES)
Also should I get this game called "Mass Effect"? (I'm not a sci-fi fan)

[chimney_leaf]

It's slightly different, but I'd just go for PES

As for Mass Effect, I don't have it and I won't be getting it. I don't really like RPGs that much (I've got Oblivion but didn't really get into it). It's got good graphics, but if you're not into sci-fi or RPGs then I wouldn't get it, but if you like RPGs it might be worth a shot.

And yes, F.E.A.R is that good, if you can get it cheap, it's worth it...but prepare to be seriously freaked out

[Ultimate_Gohan]

I don't like RPGs since the fun of those is playing online. (since I don't have Live)
Oblivion wasn't that good IMO. It was extremely dark in those castles that I couldn't see a thing. Eventually I stopped playing the because it was pretty dull. Maybe I'll get both PES and FIFA since games only cost 8$ in my country.

[chimney_leaf]

$8?! That's unreal, a game in the UK costs around £40-£45 when released, but usually drops, which is about $80. The pricing in western Europe is unfair, even Americans get it cheaper, like $50.

[Ultimate_Gohan]

Yes, it's 8$. I'm not lying. That happens because here they sell games burned into normal DL-DVDs so the games are not original but just copied ones.

[Blazing Hyuuga]

PES is an aweomse game, compared to Fifa it's graphics aren't as good but it's gameplay is soooo much better.

[Ultimate_Gohan]

The Xbox 360 is overall a good console but it needs some GTA and some DBZ, both games coming out this year! Yeah, baby...yeah!

[G.O.A.T.]

Has anyone got that Naruto game for the 360?
