Get out right now and pre-order "The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion", that is THE must have game at the moment. Other than that I'd pick up PDZ, CoD2, Kameo, and PG3.
P.S You're not selling out, you are being open minded
Yeah definitely.
I would definitely go with Elder Scrolls if it was out yet, but I dont think that was what you asked.
Call of Duty aint that bad I hear... lol
Call of Duty 2 is probably the best 360 game out right now. If you like fighting games, Dead or Alive 4 is also a good choice. And for racing, Project Gotham Racing 3 is an excellent choice. Fight Night Round 3 has also gotten really good reviews.
Stay away from games that are also on current gen systems. Gun and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland add nothing new from the PS2/XBOX versions. And even if you're a sports fan, stay away from Madden and Tiger Woods. They actually have LESS content and gameplay than the XBOX/PS2 versions.
For upcoming games, I recommend Elder Scrolls for rpg fans and Burnout Revenge for racing fans.
Just kidding!! I too am buying a 360. But I'm thinking that I will wait a while untill the game library builds. I don't want to buy one and not see any games that grab my attention. Because it will sit and collect dust.
