Using some of my tax return for a 360, PSP, games

[Beev]

So far on my list I have:

360
XBL Gold
KotOR
KotOR 2
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Psychonauts

PSP
God of War: Chains of Olympus
FF Crisis Core
FF Tactics

Anything super important that I'm missing?

Edit: Clarification because I'm a vague bastard

Every multiplatform game that was good I already have. So stuff like DMC4, Orangbox, Bioshock and the like I already have on my PS3/Wii/PC. Sorry I wasn't more descriptive

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

crisis core sucks.

Chains of Olympus is awesome.

If you like SRPG then Disgaea for the PSP is great.

For 360:

DMC4 was excellent if you like that type of game.

Naruto:Rise of a Ninja was very good and this is coming from someone who never even heard of Naruto before playing it.

Dead Rising

 

[GCS]

COD4
Bioshock
Orange Box

Assuming you are into FPS games

EDIT: Also if you like tennis at all pick up Virtua Tennis 3 for cheap (under $20 easily). I am totally hooked on this game as I am trying my best to get to #1 in the world!!

Ooo, I forgot Disgaea came out on the PSP. I am ALL over that.

 

[erwos]

Oblivion for the 360. Disgaea and Jeanne D'Arc for the PSP.

 

[Beev]

Have Oblivion on my PC, planning on Disgaea now. How is Jeanne? Obviously since you recommend it you think it's good. Why? (I have heard nothing)

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

I haven't got to Jeanne d'arc yet but i think it is a strategy rpg by the makers of Disgaea

 

[jrphoenix]

2 Games I like..

Rock Band (or Guitar Hero3)
Ace Combat 6 (very fun... weird cut scenes).

 

[Oyeve]

GTA4? Burnout Paradise?

 

[Beev]

Oh I'll be getting GTA4 for sure, and I got Burnout for my PS3. Rock Band is a good idea, but I wouldn't have anyone to play with.

Rock Band is a blast.. and easier on guitar than guitar hero. I don't like my games so challenging that they're not fun. If you get tired of guitar you can switch to singing / drums.

 

[RandomFool]

Another vote for Rock Band it's a blast.

 

[Saulbadguy]

Patapon.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

I rarely play Rock Band with others and it is still better than any gaming experience ever.

If you have a gaming PC why not get KOTOR 1-2 for that? The xbox-1 versions won't look as good and you won't be able to install the KOTOR 2 patch from Team Gizka when it's finished some time this year.

Mass Effect is also supposed to be better on PCs.

FYI: You can play Psychonauts on the PC with a $10 GameTap subscription, along with Overlord, Sam & Max, Jericho, and 1,000 other games.

For the 360:
Viva Pinata is $10 at GoGamer right now
Earth Defense Force 2017
Crackdown
Dead Rising

If you decide to wait on the 360, the "Jasper" revision with the graphics chip shrink from 90nm to 65nm is supposed to be out before the end of the year.

 

[Beev]

I like the controller feel for KotOR style games. And I definitely won't get Psychonauts on the PC for that reason too. I could get a wired 360 controller, but I don't really want to get one.

What's that patch for KotOR2 do?

 

[DaveSimmons]

Team Gizka - TSLR - Kotor 2 patch & restoration

For the PSP, one or two of the Star Wars games are supposed to be good, but I haven't been paying attention.

 

[Piuc2020]

You NEED to get Patapon for the PSP, that's one of the must-haves for the system, also, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles would be a great buy for the remake of Symphony of The Night alone not to mention Rondo of Blood.

 

[mlm]

I second the Disgaea and Patapon recommendations.

 

[Beev]

I've added them to my personal list. Here's an update:

DVD Shelf

360
KotOR
KotOR2
Mass Effect
Halo 3
Psychonauts
Rock Band


PSP
God of War
Crisis Core
Tactics
Disgaea
Jeanne
Patapon


PS2
God of War
God of War 2

DS
Ninja Gaiden

Note: Although it looks like it, I didn't just add any title that was mentioned. I did a little research first :laugh:

It's essentially a strategy game in the same vein as Disgaea, but with less grinding and a slightly more serious story. Think of it as slightly more linear. It's a really fantastic game, nice graphics, good sound.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Are you going to buy all those games at once? That's a lotta scratch to drop at once.

 

[MagicConch]

I found that psychonauts gets rather tiresome and reptitive after a while. it's not as good as grim fandango (and both kotors are better on the pc than xbox imo) Mass Effect will be sure to please though.

 

[Capitalizt]

Don't forget to grab both WIPEOUT games for the PSP. They are excellent.

 

[nycxandy]

If you want a FPS: Call of Duty 4, GOTY Edition.

Edit: Woops, just read through your entire post. If you don't have COD, get it!
