jayeffscene Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I finally replaced my 360 that broke about 2 years ago with a new one and I'm wondering if there's anything major that I've missed that's worth buying rather than renting. I have a coupon for buy two get one free at EB and I know I need to buy a new (used) controller, so that makes for two other items that need to be included in that transaction. What have you are you playing/ have you played lately that you would say is worth buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 You haven't missed out on anything too big, but if you can wait like... a month, Gears Of War 3 comes out. Oh, and Halo: Reach has been out for a quite a while. But then again, I'm not sure what kind of games you're into really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'm fixated on Arkham City in October. I don't know if I can give a shit about anything until then, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Alan Wake was a really cool 360 exclusive that you can probably find on the cheap now. Red Dead Redemption was my favorite game from 2010 as well as Mass Effect 2. I finished LA Noire recently and enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to Skyrim and Battlefield 3! If you want some arcade games Limbo is fucking amazing as well as Pacman Championship Edition DX. You also can't go wrong with Plants Vs. Zombies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 All I've played past few months is Halo: Reach and Portal 2. So... yeah. Those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Portal 2 and Catherine. Both are great puzzle games. Catherine is super quirky, as it's a game by a JRPG company, so I'd check out videos on it first to see if it's your cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Red Dead Redemption was baller, and NHL12 comes out soon. Other than that, I'm not useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
