if your lookin for a kickass game to play online then cod4 no doubt.  i would also recommend cod5, but i dont like that game as much but thats just me.  if your not into shooters, try like some sports game, idk lol

get fight night round 4 or UFC: Undisputed when it comes out. Right now Shuan White is kinda cool for a while. Cod 4 is pretty dope online, but the new one is coming out. Condemned 2 is fucking sick, really awesome game.

Darkwatch- I thought it was lame because of the whole vampire cowboy thing.. but its actually a really fun game, a full sex scene, and sweet guns
Doom3- good to play in the basement in the dark all alone :P
Cod4- total fun

i enjoy stoked snowboarding.  Its a backcountry snowboarding game with "skate-ish" controls.  It's only $40 usd.  Features in game weather that accumulates.  Not the most polished game ever, but was kind of an indie game from small developers. I think it's a big step in the right direction for snowboarding games.

no you press B, the controls for fifa aren't as hands-on but it's still a fucking sick game
i'd recommend fifa, rock band, gta 4, gears 2, and bad company

are there jumps? what would make the perfect snowboarding game would be stoked, but with skate2 controls, where you could build jumps wherever and however you wanted, and use/get towed behind a snowmobile

It's mostly natural hits, and the jibs are a bit weak, mostly trees.   Not calling it the perfect  game, but beats  any other xbox360 snowboard game.  Park wise, it can't compare to amped2. but it's not trying to amped2. Also it's only 40 dollars, you gotta support the companies that put out low cost games, so the trend continues.

yeah, all BC natural hits with log jibs, heli travel, 360 degree mtn riding, i definitly wouldnt call it perfect, but its sorta close. def beats the shit out of SW. i have never played amped 2, i cant find it.

game flaws:
you dont have shit for clothing selection
there is no park map
no nollies and butters are weird
slides are decent but sometimes hard to get a specific slide
you get stuff from getting sponsered, and are limited to gear supplied by that sponser until you change sponsers, then it becomes unavail.
but yeah, only real disappointment was clothing / gear selection and no park map.

if you have xbox live then get call of duty world at war or COD Modern Warfare.. i personally like W.A.W. better but thats just me... if you dont have live then fallout 3 is a sweet game that will take you a long time to beat. ummm.. and i really liked the HALO games as well.

oh i know, i have been waiting for it sense like July of last year. My life revolves around sking,skating,and MMA...so this game coming out is a big deal for me. Hopefully all the fighters are built to their actual skills...I dont want to see Brock Lesnar some kind of unstoppable beast, and i dont want them to underhype GSP either.

get fifa, start a manager mode, and just watch as all your loved ones slowly seem to become distant, and you find yourself wondering why you aren't actually managing a team

Stoked sucks. It's not polished at all, and it doesn't play nicely. It just doesn't cut it for me.

Battlefield: Bad Company is a very fun game.  The SP is kind of fun, but the MP is really fun.  There is a lot to do online and you would never get bored (if you like shooters)

get xbox live cause its only 60$/year. COD5 is super good online. skate 1 or 2 are sick. and fable 2 is ridiculously time consuming and addicting.

I just DLd the demo yesterday, its a fun ass game. Plus it can be scooped cheap from a Gamestop type place. Go to you 360 Marketplace and download a bunch of demos, it gives you a great chance to try games before you buy them, plus its free.

only problem with it is that after about 5 hrs of playing, if you're any good, you'll be just about done with the game. Though the speedruns and time trials are pretty fun
