techieboy Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm in hospital for a few days from Monday for an operation. Assuming I get out in one piece and haven't caught MRSA, C.Diff or some other nasty, I'm off work for at least two weeks to recover. I'll probably be housebound so assuming I don't spend all day watching Professionals, Sweeney and Minder re-runs on ITV4, it seems like a good opportunity to break out the Xbox 360. I won it at a Charity Ball a couple of years back and it came with just about every accessory and option possible. I must have played with it for about 30 minutes (think it came with PGR3 and Test Drive Unlimited from memory) after I got it home but haven't touched it in 18 months as I just can't be arsed to get into it. Are there some must have games that I should get? I guess racing and shoot 'em up type games are probably most up my street and the one thing I can't stand are the fantasy role playing type games. I just want something that you can start playing straight away, not something that takes weeks of reading manuals and remembering countless button combinations to do some "power move" that happens more by luck than judgment. Suggestions welcome.... Edit: Oh, no football/sports games as they do my head in too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durtydurty Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Alot of my friends are playing Far Cry 2 and saying thats a good game, bit of a shoot em up and Call of Duty 4 never gets old. Online is were Call of Duty really comes into its own, its such a good crack if you have a few friends to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yep, Call of Duty 4 is the only game you need. As above, online is amazing. I was hooked on Tiger Woods 08 and as soon as I got COD, nothing else has been in the XBox!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I really enjoyed Gears of War. GoW 2 is out on the 7th Nov. At the moment, I'm mainly playing Guitar Hero on my 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Call of Duty 4 and GRID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks gents. Had a bit of a splurge this afternoon and ordered COD4, Forza 2, Race Driver GRID, Far Cry 2, PGR4 and Hells Highway. Should keep me entertained for an hour or two - I hope.

tom_hargreaves Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hells Highway is about as entertaining as being in an actual war. It's not very good, especially as seen as you'll be playing COD4. Far Cry is very repetetive and gets boring very quickly. I'd recommend COD4 and Gears of War (Which can be picked up cheap now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
