Support NeoGAF

[Mercury Fred]

So my 360 is finally shipping from Circuit City. I bought PDZ and PGR before launch and not too much else from the line up so far appeals to me. I'll pick up DOA when it's out, but I'm considering taking PDZ back for something else. I never owned an Xbox (or a PS2), so I'm considering Ninja Gaiden Black, Fable Lost Chapters and one of the GTA games.

What would you do GAF? Keep PDZ, return it in favor of some old Xbox love, hold off...?

 

[Letter to Elise]

If you have LIVE don't return PDZ, its amazing online.

Definitely try Perfect Dark as some people seem to love it and others (like myself) think its awful, but don't just return it sight unseen.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

PDZ's multiplayer is awesome. Worth it for that alone. A lot of people love Condemned (could rent it and beat it fairly fast). PGR3, XBOX Arcade Games, and Kameo are my favorites in adition to PDZ. COD2 is great but has some serious bugs right now.

The GTA Trilogy for Xbox is on sale next week at Best Buy for only $30.

Condemned is a great, but short game. Gets the blood pumping.

 

[jedimike]

Keep what you got and then suppliment with XBL Arcade games. If you really want to play some Xbox games, then those are fine choices. I wouldn't get rid of PDZ or PGR3 though. Both great games.

Ah fantastic. Thanks for the heads up.

Whether or not I return PDZ (leaning toward no after the responses here) I'll definitely pick up the trilogy next week.

Here's what I think from what I have played (in order of quality):

Great

1. Call of Duty 2
2. PGR3

Good

3. Kameo
4. Ridge Racer 6

Disappointing

5. Perfect Dark Zero

Bad

6. Madden 2006
7. Amped 3
8. Tiger Woods 2006

Live Arcade:

Great

1. Geometry Wars 2

Good

2. Smash TV
3. Hexic HD
4. Mutant Storm
5. Gauntlet

If he opens it, he can't return it. So if he hates it, he's fucked.

 

[Kingpen]

My take:

Great:
PGR3
Call of Duty 2
Geometry Wars
NBA2k6 (need HD)
NHL2k6 (if you are a hockey fan and didn't play the releases 3 months ago, need HD
as well)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Awesome if you liked the old Hot Pursuit series)

Good
Perfect Dark 0 (not too bad, gets shitted on by call of duty on 1P)


Not as Good
Madden
Fifa

 

[Minotauro]

Get COD2 and keep PGR3. Don't get your hopes up for strong multiplayer with COD2 though.

If he opens it, he can't return it. So if he hates it, he's fucked.

But if he likes it?

im getting mine today getting pgr3 condemned and pdz, personally i think pdz looks amazing, i dunno why people slag the graphics

 

[Coin Return]

I only own PGR3 and PD0, both are amazing on Live. DarkOps Eradication is worth the price of PD0 alone.

 

[bill0527]

CoD2 for the best Single player launch game - and hope you don't get the save bug.

PD0 for the best online Multi-Player launch game

PGR3 for your racing needs.

NBA2k6 if you need a sports game.

Kong and Condemned are good rentals - no way in hell are they worth $60+ tax based on their length.


I've only played these games so I can't comment on anything else. I'm getting Madden, Kameo, and DOA4 for Christmas.
