Default New game to pass some hours on the Xbox

I'm looking for a new game to wile away some hours on the 360, preferably a 1st or 3rd person shooter.

I've played GoW 1 & 2, Dead Space, Halo 3 & GTA IV. I also quite enjoyed Mercenaries 2 and Star Wars Force Unleashed.

I was thinking about Fallout 3 or maybe Bioshock?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Dave.

Fallout 3 is an excellent game, as is bioshock. You can pick bioshock up 2nd hand for a tenner in game.

Fallout 3 isnt your standard FPS - bit more involved and in-depth. Tbh I got bored and sold it a while back.

If you want to just run around shooting things then try Call of Juarez Bound in Blood - western shooter. Really good multiplayer with proper team bias match modes rather than usual fragfest.

I didn't like Bound in Blood. I rented it and gave up after about 20 minutes.

I'd go for Bioshock or Army of Two, or if you just want a run round and shoot game i'd get Unreal Tournament 3. All cheap and probaly my top three on the 360.

Did you play multiplayer online? Single player is not the best although it does get going if you give it some time. Online is awesomely addictive. Almost like CoD4 goes Western albeit not as good graphics.

Best bit is the manhunt game mode with two teams (lawmen and outlaws). Best player gets chosen as wanted man. Own team has to keep him alive to score a point, enemies have to kill him with the minute to score. Means to win you have to work as a team rather than just go around looking for frags.

And which bloke doesnt enjoy blasting someone else with a pair of gold six shooters

No, I've done the Scarecrow section. That was just a case of avoiding him seeing you.

I'm just stuck on a bit where you get mobbed by bad guys and I've not managed to get through them all yet without getting wiped out.

Not 1st or 3rd person but worth trying out Trials HD from Xbox Live Arcade. There is a free demo. Superb game.

The Darkness is one I have gone back to play again, very immersive story and gameplay.
Just finished the new wolfenstein game and just started on section 8, which ain't that great.

I liked the Darkness, but felt it was let down by those bloody annoying levels in Hell!
What did you think of Wolfenstein?
