Okay, chopped in a couple of 360 games at Blockbuster, so have some account credit, but I'm not sure what game to get...

got GoW/Crackdown/PGR etc
had GRAW/Condemned/PREY etc...

Toying with NFS carbon, though I wasnt impressed with the Demo, Dead rising, though I think it'll get boring quick...

just wondering if there was anything else I should be considering?

Rainbow 6 / Fear. Tried NFS was crap but if you can play non 360 games Forza motorsport is supposed to be great.

Thoroughly recommend Battlestations : Midway. You will never get tired of sneaking up on convoys in a submarine, dive-bombing Jap battleships and blasting seven bells of shit out of a battleships with a fleet of destroyers!

Mahoosive fun!! thumbup

vegas is fantastic, especially online. A lot simpler to navigate than clancy games of the past, and comes very highly recommended.

Fear I thought was a bit weak, tried to hard, and was too easy.

Agreed, need for speed carbon is awful, I had that traded in within a week and got Lost Planet instead, which is quite good.
It's werid beacuse I enjoyed NFS underground when I had that on PS2.

So was I until the guys in my local Game said that it was one of the fastest turnarounds for trade ins that they'd known. Apparently it isn't uncommon to complete the game in less than a week and they said as fast as it was going out the shop it was coming back in to be replaced.

You're probably better off renting it for a couple of nights.

If you enjoyed GRAW, you'll love rainbow 6 vegas.

And now there's GRAW2 of course. Very similar / samey ( I've only played the first act so far ) But graphically VERY sexy. thumbup

Although ... You will still need some patience.
You can't play games like GRAW and Rainbow 6 like a FPS (or like GOW) and expect to survive.

On the downside, GRAW 2 is an absolute piece of pee to get through. Made it as far as the end of ACT 2 and just restarted on elevated risk (hardest) as too easy on the middle setting.

So far I have just breezed the hardest setting, I am no first person shooter god or anything like that.

Can't say about Act 3 as not tried that yet.

RSV is mucho harder !!

Umm. Bought this, I like it but it could be improved if a few odd bits of stupid gameplay could be fixed(eg your submarine runs out of oxygen every 5 mins or so).

Scaled to reflect real life. There's not unlimited oxygen on a real submarine.

GRAW2 although easy on the single player missions is well worth it for the excellent multiplayer maps. They're big and the enemy A.I is very sharp. I particularly like the Co-Op Campaign Missions

Rainbow 6 is excellent
GR:AW2 is excellent
GoW is crap
Or for an older game, Perfect Dark is pretty good, Q4 ok
PGR3 better than Test Drive Unlimited

Dead rising is great fun - but pretty hard at times.

Viva Pinata (sp) is awesome.

had it - i thought it was okay, could be addictive, but you really needed to stick at it and be really into it to progress..
