Armed and Dangerous gameplay is rather trash now, but it has some of the funniest things you' ll ever hear. Aw I wish theyd make a sequal with the same humor and all.

Then again that was some time ago maybe the humors dated now as well....hmm im gonna try and find some clips to watch.

Absolutely none of these are amazing titles. If anything, The Third Age is the only thing I would consider buying if I saw it used somewhere. The rest of these are either total garbage, or good to pop in every once and a while if you already own them.

Still no Beyond Good & Evil. I' d also like to get Crazy Taxi 3 working again. But it will be nice to play my NFL 2K5 which I have patiently kept!

...The Brothers in Arms games.

I refrained from mentioning ' em, as I tend to every single time one of these pops up.

Advent Rising was a game I bought once to play on my 360 before I realised its wasnt supported. That and Beyond Good & Evil are two games I regret missing.

Heh, funny thing is I actually tried buying them used for PC and they were too dated to work on that too! Kept crashing.

DC games? Now you guys sound like the frothing kids on the xbox.com forums. Which btw, avoid that place like a plague, everyone there is incompetent.

I actually would like to play Fable and for kicks the earlier halo games. I didn' t have a xbox last gen and so would love to play what I missed, and I do believe they are bc already.

Whether fable' s BC or not, you' ll be able to download it in a bit (if you can' t already) from Live, so it' s no biggie.

Blood Omen 2 is great. I loved the Legacy of Kain games.

Anyway, the Fable download is gay, as it apparently doesnt include " The Lost Chapters" content.

Eddie I am pretty sure that if it is coming out for download(which I knew) then it is most likely backward compatible.

Thanks Dan that is just another reason not to get the download, even though I wasn' t planning on doing it because I don' t want to waste the hard drive space.

I will most likely end up picking up Fable Lost Chapters sometime this weekend, but now I need to decide if I have enough time to devote to Mass Effect.

If you guys could help me out, what else is out there right now, I currently own or am(or will be) borrowing Bioshock, COD4, Halo 3, Gears of War, The Orange Box, Crackdown, and Beautiful Katamari(its Diehounderdoggins). I have Mass Effect in mind as I mentioned above, I have been told AC is a rent not a buy, other then that I am not a big racing game fan or sports fan, I like most other stuff, and am not really a graphics whore.

Any help or constructive comments would be appreciated.

Replace Katamari with Mass Effect and your list is golden. Also, Crackdown is fun, but its not a must-play.

Man I miss that song " Whats Golden" , it was on ATV Offroad Fury (2 or 3, cant remember).

For a game with cutesy appeal like Katamari has, I found its controls in the demo to be rather unintuitive. I was kind of looking forward to showing it to my girlfriend but then figured that it would be a bit frustrating for someone who doesn' t usually play games.

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath still not on the lsit?!
Also, as I never completed Breakdown on my old Xbox i thought I should on my 360, only to realise the game freezes every time I push " A" I think it was. So The BC aren' t always really BC.

Seems unlikely since they' re doing a remake.

I don' t own, nor do I plan to buy Xbox games. There are a few PS2 games I might buy though. Colossus, Twisted Metal Black and Killzone.

All of which work on the 80GB PS2.

Skip it, did you miss out on the major ps2 titles Agent?
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

I bought one of the launch PS2' s back when they were 500$ lol. It died on me and I didn' t want to buy another one since I was too pissed off at Sony(I had an Xbox and a GameCube). So I did miss a bunch of titles . My Ps2 died right when Kingdom Hearts came out, I didn' t get to finish the game. I played TMB and loved it, it' s a game I want to own. I completely missed Colossus, and Killzone. I mostly want to ply Killzone to expose myself to the story before Killzone 2. Anyone know if the PS3 runs the game well? I know the game choked on the PS2.

Actually I wonder what the frame rates of PS2 games are like on PS3 in general.

Frame rates are identical as they were on PS2.

Baldur' s Gate: Dark Alliance was excellent.

And blood omen 2 is the worst game in the LoK series, for whoever the dumbass was that said it was good.

I still haven' t gotten ME yet, but am planning on picking it up when I can. Well Agent I never had an xbox so I think it makes sense for me to get some of the hits I missed. Colossus was fantastic in a lot of ways, my biggest problem was the main character was a lame and the ending was really weird, but the gameplay is fantastic when you can figure out what you are supposed to do. No God of War Agent?



Baldur' s Gate: Dark Alliance was excellent.


I can' t say that I didn' t like this game because i never played it, but both my brother and my friend said is was awful. What I saw of it didn' t really look fun.

Rallisport 1 is BC, from the last update i think, no signs of Rallisport 2 though, which completely sucks as it was an awesome arcade racer for its time.
