    Hello everyone. I recently got an xbox 360 and I am looking for some 360 exclusives. I already have a ps3 so I am not looking for any multiplatform games. Does anyone have any suggestions. (Rep to the person who suggests the game I buy :grin:)

    Well, the obvious choices would be the Gears of War and Halo series.

    You could try The Last Remnant, a pretty interesting JRPG.

    Then get 3, best in the series IMHO.

    I'm not the one to ask about Halo. I've never played a Halo game, though I'll probably get into it starting with the Halo Anniversary edition which was released this year.

    I've also enjoyed Dead Rising and Alan Wake which were exclusives. Dead Rising was a launch title I believe so it may be a little dated but it's still entertaining.

    There's the obvious Gears of War and Halo games... never was much into either of those myself, though.

    The two I'd single out are Mass Effect 1 and Tales of Vesperia.

    The Mass Effect sequels are/will be on PS3, but the first one is only on X-Box 360 and PC. And personally, I liked it better than the second one, which suffered quite a bit from middle installment syndrome. The first game is just pure magic, one of the best things I've ever played.

    Tales of Vesperia is a JRPG, but it's a really enjoyable one. It's an active combat system rather than a point-and-click type interface, so the combat itself is a lot more fun. Just a solid game all around.

    I'm a PS3 guy myself, but those titles are worth checking out.

    Well, the first one wasn't released on PS3 though ME2 was.

    The first game is. Only the second and third ones are on PS3. And so far, 1 was better than 2 in my book, despite the metacritic score.

    Thanks for the recommendations guys. For anyone who has played it, how is the fable series?

    Fable series is alright, but definitely not as good as it was hyped to be. I'm pretty sure most people would agree that it was more of a let down than a blockbuster.

    Apologies about the ME comment, forgot the first one didn't come out at all. If you're going to play Tales of Vesperia I recommend you play the PS3 version.

    Gears of War 3 as everyone has said

    Left 4 Dead series, far and away the best zombie video game experience ever

    Fable 1 and 2 are great, Fable 3 not so much (I still enjoyed it). Don't start with Halo 3. Buy Reach (its a prequel with the best graphics in the series), and get Halo: Anniversary if you really like it to play from the beginning. Or you could start with Anniversary. Halo 3 is one of the weakest in the series, imo -- and I've played a LOT of Halo.

    Also try Shadow Complex on xbox live arcade; it's outstanding and not very expensive.

    Buy Fable 1 for 5-10 bucks at Gamestop. Disregard both Fable 2 and 3.

    ...but only if you speak Japanese. The PS3 version never came out in the States. Too bad, they added an extra character for that version. I'd love to own it since I'm basically a PS3 fanboy anyway.

    Damn, that's kinda funny. About 30-45 minutes ago, I was doing a search here on the Tales series, and now someone just mentioned Vesperia.

    I just remembered my cousin being ape **** crazy about this game on the gamecube back then.
