And it's a PC game.

I bought Halo 3 because it's 30€ now, I'm hoping for the same standards-lowering effect it had on Yahtzee since I figure that's what I need if I'm going to get anything out of the 360. So far the only standard I can see it lowering is my expectation that dual analog controls actually work out well because the games I played so far didn't demand mouse-like aiming skills while Halo 3 does. Yeah, it's pretty but otherwise feels like every other FPS I've ever played (well, okay, the Half-Life-style ones, not stuff like Painkiller or Serious Sam) except you don't have to ration health (and in turn run out of it after 2-3 hits).

I don't play my 360 much either KDR.

I think if I were to list all of the games I like for the system it would look something like this:

Assassin's Creed
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
Beautiful Katamari
Crackdown
Earth Defense Force 2017
Guitar Hero II
Kameo: Elements of Power
Ninja Gaiden II
Saints Row
Table Tennis (only fun with other people)
Viva Pinata

I know you've already confirmed that you've played or can't play some of those; however, three that I didn't see that stand out are Assassin's Creed, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, and Kameo: Elements of Power.

Depending heavily on pricepoints, those games are definitely worthy. Kameo is super cheap around here, and as such I felt it was well worth all $15 I paid for it. Banjo-Kazooie is nothing like the original titles but if you enjoy building stuff (like Legos, K'nex, Erector Sets) you will definitely connect with the game. As for Assassin's Creed, if you don't mind a bit of repetition and enjoy aimlessly exploring huge cities, the game is highly enjoyable. I find myself playing it from time to time to enjoy the landscapes and find hidden flags in the vast countryside and cityscapes of the game.

I think Faffing About's Creed is on the PC too, that tends to be cheaper. BK seemed pretty fail in the demo... I can try finding Kameo though that's so old I don't think it'll be easy.

You want to know what the best game on the XBox 360 is?

Sneak King.

You play as Burger King's King and you have to hide and surprise people with food when they least expect it. Genius.

Actually, Big Bumpin' is surprisingly addictive in multiplayer. Got more enjoyment out of that then Banjo-Kazooie, anyway...

I liked Banjo as well.  You have to put time into it (in the begining you kinda have fixed machines).  If they fix a few issues (namely cars handle like bricks with wheels) I think this could have been the most orginal title for the year.  Hopefully MS sees this as well and allows them to make a sequel (though I hope they get a new screenwritter but the jokes were beyond lame).

Considering its low sales figures, this very well could be the end of Banjo-Kazooie.  On a non-Nintendo machine, anyway.

Have you tried taking your 360 to a ball game?  Or maybe the zoo?

360 isn't fit enough to go outside, and doesn't play well with real people.

I've played one XBox 360 game, and out of those, Sneak King was definitely the best.

I also played Left4Dead, but only in PC, but this is the first time I heard that this game is in 360? Maybe I would try that out playing 360 in the mall with that FPS game.

Doesn't make sense, the PC version is significantly cheaper.

I got Prince of Persia through GameFly, and while it's nowhere close to as good as Super Mario Galaxy like some whackjob said it was it's pretty good, good enough for me to click the Keep It button.

I saw Saints Row 2 for $20 at Fred Meyer, I'm tempted to try it out.

At that price I'd buy it. The only issue I have is that SR2 is like 60-70€ and I got the first one for a tenner.
