I've a new 360, got a ton of stuff, Prey, Hitman Blood Money, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Quake 4 (D=), Oblivion (D=).
Anyway, currnetly I am torn between getting Far Cry instincts Predator or Ghost Recon Advanced. What do you guys reckon?
 
ah, finally, a subject which i can comment on. although i havent finished either of them (for some reason im not so much into gaming anymore)

I have a 360 with both, and they are both good games. its a tough question about which one though. far cry instincts predator is a standard seeming fps, with more sneaking, and jungles (if you've played the pc version you know what to think). its good, i like it personally.
ghost recon is more of the hiding behind stuff and popping out for a few shots and going behind cover kind of thing, set in mexico but feels like iraq or something. its supposedly the better one of the two, but to me, they seem about equal.

i havent played online really on either of them however, so that could be a major point. ghost recon has a more tactical multiplayer and stuff i think.
while i thought ghost recon was good, i dont think its quite as good as the reviews have been saying. and far cry got about the right rating from most websites.

anyway, i havent finished either of them, or played online (only played about half or so of each one) so im not the best person to ask. i've also ony been playing in SDTV mode

i actually got both of these for about half price (new) from SE asia somewhere, because they arent region locked and are all in english. So if you can find them on ebay or something, they should be pretty cheap.
 
I got GRAW just the other day and i am quite impressed by it so far. Not easy to get into, mainly if you are used to pc fps's then it takes a little while to get used the controls and the slightly sluggish turning/aiming (imo anyway). However it looks beautiful, the tactical and teammate element is great and there is plenty of action.
 
GRAW is fun for awhile. I mean, it's pretty awesome once you get the hang of the controls and ordering around your squad. But one can only handle so many missions of "sorry your futuristic and highly advanced cross-comm system is being jammed cause a terrorist left his cellphone on 5 kilometres away, so you'll have to wade through awful static and use your not-so-highly advanced thermal crap-o-vision for half the mission 'cause we left out the ability for you to TAKE OFF YOUR F*CKING HELMET FOR FIVE MINUTES."

Been wanting to get that rant out for awhile :)

But yeah, cool game besides that, and a lacking coop mode (would have been awesome to play the campaign two player, but oh well). Can't comment on Far Cry.

Burnout Revenge is pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing, and didn't already play it on Xbox.

Edit - Oh yeah, one thing about GRAW they nailed, it has the most satisfying explosions in any game I've played. There should be a reading on the stat screen for how much ammunition I've wasted on random cars :D
 
It could be wise to hold off a fortnight and look at getting Dead Rising.

Apparently, its rather good.....

However, because we live in Europe, we get it a few weeks later :(
