Fancy a new game for XBOX 360, but don't know what is good out there.

Fancy another driving game, already got Forza, I am crap at games like COD. Have borrowed COD3 and keep getting killed in it. I want a game I can pick up and play relatively easy for 10 mins here & 3-4 hours there.

So games that i have heard of are

COD5......
Race Driver (sp)

Games I have seen in shops at the moment
Streetfighter (4?)
Wheelman
Sega Megadrive Classics
Loads of Need for speed games

So which of these are any good? Is there anymore golden gem games, Which is worth getting, especially for online PH play.

Tim.

I was thinking the same recently Forza 2 lives in my machine, occasionally ProEvo8 gets a play, but decided to buy COD4 after some prompting on here, not really good at FPS but have done the training and 1 mission and it seems quite good and the only time I died was trying to jump in the heli at the end.
You could join me as a online novice at that lol

For Racing games you could do worse than pick up Race Pro.

I'd personally get COD4 and Streetfighter4.

COD4 is the best COD game and everyone is crap at first. Just takes some practice. The best bit is I can jump on for a quick match, get my 'fix' in 15minutes, then done. I find games that need 10 hours to get into quite annoying.

Streetfighter4 is sooo similar to the original SF2, so very easy to pick up if you've played the original, and again, gives a good game in a short time.

Agreed - different challenge to Forza although not as pretty - much better racing.

Totally agree, Pick up & Play aspect is excellent.

I'm going to suggest Test Drive Unlimited. Graphics and physics may be slightly lacking, but a wonderfully enjoyable game nonetheless!

Got PGR4, I got that and Dirt last year for £15 for the two, Completed both.

Also got Pro Evo 2008 last year for £5. But can't really get into that.

I made this mistake and all it proved was how far gaming has come! I have now successfully ruined the fond memories I had of both Streets of Rage and Golden Axe!
