My housewarming gift
 

Well everybody, I have bought a 2 bedroom unit and will be moving into it next weekend. I am very excited as I have been living @ home all 26 years of my life. Living at home has helped me to save money for a deposit. This is not as scary, but nearly as exciting as coming out (which I did @ 24).

More importantly, my brother asked me what I wanted for my moving in gift. Jokingly I said an Xbox360, and now I am about 90% sure he is serious about getting me 1. After watching the MS E3 conference, I am glad to be a "soon to be" owner of a 360.

So what games do you guys recommend getting? Please no racing games :)

Re: My housewarming gift
 

Really the only thing that I care for currently available on the X360 is Oblivion. So if you like long-winded RPGs, check it out. Other than that...eh, some people might recommend Kameo or Perfect Dark for its multiplayer. You'll see some good stuff released this fall, for sure.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

Yeah Oblivion looks great. I'm holding out that it will be ported to the PS3, but I may break down and get a 360 at some point.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

I'm a fan of Tomb Raider Legends.

Also GRAW looks awesome. Some damn pretty visuals.

Kameo is also a cool title.

Congratulations on buying your own home! There's no greater sense of security then that which comes with owning your own home.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

Well you can walk around naked now, or at least freely.

Oblivion is cool, it's like a 3D diablo, not as fast paced. I liked the game a lot, but didn't have the time to invest in it. So I got tired of playing 20 minute blocks and gave up. But it's a fun game, pretty damn expansive. Lots to do.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

I already walk around naked when my parents are around.

Bad news!!!! 10% that i wasn't getting one eventuated. He can't afford it so he's getting me a microwave. Can anybody suggest some good frozen dinners I can use on my microwave :(

oh well thanks anyways guys.

Microwave a grape cut in half. But connected by it's skin.

Kind of like the number "8" rotated 90 degrees.

Set it face-up, and set that baby to 10 seconds or so. It'll blow your mind.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

It may also destroy your Microwave..

Get Fight Night!

Fight Night!

FIGHT NIGHT!

FIIIIIIIGHT NIIIIIIIIIGHT!

Re: My housewarming gift
 

whaaa...an innocent grape!??!

Hmmmpphhh...

Re: My housewarming gift
 

lol, not the innocent grape itself. The free-floating ball of plasma that develops might though.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

whoa plasmastic!

Re: My housewarming gift
 

Thank god, I thought I was the only one.


Anyways, I much recomend what the others already have, but also adding Fight Night Round 3, if you're into that kind of game.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

Sorry you're not getting an Xbox, mate. :-(

I like to microwave hot-pockets.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

I know it hurts :(

I don't know if we have those in Sydney, but I think we have something similar.

Maybe I can sell my PSP and save up for one. How much do 2nd hand psp's sell for these days?

Re: My housewarming gift
 

About as much as 1st hand game boys.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

ok forget it then :(

Re: My housewarming gift
 

You know why I didn't start a "what game should I get" thread? Because the free Xbox Live it comes with is absolutely fantastic.

I haven't bought any games yet. I've just downloaded demos - and I am thoroughly impressed.

Re: My housewarming gift
 

Great news (possibly). My bro said that if I pitch in a bit he will get me a 360. I just gotta sell my Xbox/Ps2 games and hopefully get enuff money to meet him 1/4 way or so. Yay. Let's hope it all eventuates. I think he wants me to play on xbox live (ghost recon)
