What console games should I buy?

Yeah their better to play on PC but they run really smooth on console since the designers can tweak it because every platform has the same specs unlike PC. I usually only play my XBOX during deployments since the net is so slow its better to play solo games.

Bioshock is an exception to the rule, the damn thing keeps skipping and sometimes it crashes for no reason. Incredible game though, and worth the money anyway.
If you've got the internet connection to your Xbox but don't want to pay for XB live Gold, get Silver instead and download the demos. Other than that, I recommended Army of Two and Guitar Hero, both excellent Single-Player games.

Heard that Army of Two sucked unless you had someone to play it with because of a smart but with dumb moments at the worst time AI partner :P. I might get live, just need to get a wireless connection thing first since the router is as far away from the console as possible :P Will suck if I can't play Halo 3 on it though.

Have the game but made the mistake of turning the console over while it was running with the game inside since it was upside down. I heard a grinding sound and now there's a nice ring around the bottom of the disk :P Still worked fine, but when I tried playing it again after putting it down for about a month it just wouldn't work no matter what I did...

And no I'm not spoiled... :P

If you like games that require a fair deal of talking cutscene (EG Knights of the old republic) ANd a fair amount of shooting (Halo) and massive replayability (Pong, face it ive seen more pong flash games than every other type combined.) then i suggest mass effect. im on my 5th round through and its still not old. open world games go for either assasins creed or dead rising(Throwing deadly objects was never more fun!) other than that id say bioshock. have a happy B-Day! :10

A lot of tv's are hard to read text on, so if you don't have a good tv, mass effect might not be the best option.

Mild nudity is the reason I don't already have the game :P

Drakes fortune is a great game. I thought it would be lame, but it is great. No controversy there.

Gta4 is the best though. Sorry about the parental prohibition. Some of the cut scenes do show blatent consumption of drugs, that's going to be a big problem with the folks.
