I read that Ninja Gaiden is great for the DS if you are looking into those type of action games.

Here is a review on Creed

IGN: Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles Review

Sorry for the off topic =)

On topic: Cant go wrong with Halo. I love Gears of War but it might be too bloody. Crimson Skies was fun as well.

Before I make any suggestions what are the ages/preferances and do you not allow them to have mature/violent video games? Do they currently have xbox live?

Call of Duty 4...hands down.

I stand by any game in my original list. These games are all enjoyable, even on the 360.

Why has no one mentioned Bioshock or Mass Effect? I haven't played them but both were ranked very highly in the last year.

It would depend on what types of games they enjoy.

If it's shooters, you've got a lot to choose from. Try COD4, Gears of War, Either of the Rainbow 6 Vegas games, HALO 3 or the Ghost Recon titles.

Racing? The Project Gotham series is good, as well as Forza. Burnout, too.

RPG- Oblivion or Mass Effect. The original Fable is really good as well. Lost Oddessy too.

Action- I'm a big fan of the Marvel Ultimate Alliance. But Assassin's Creed and BioShock are really good too.

Sports - NCAA Football 08 is one of my favorite games. College Hoops 08 is great as well. Also, if you can find it, there is an Original Xbox sports game called Deathrow that will play on the 360. Unbelievably good game.

And just some others to throw out there because they fall into multiple categories: Crackdown, Saint's Row, Dead Rising, and of cousre GTA IV.

Now some of these games are rated M, so you may want to make that call for yourself. All of them are fun, though.

And just to toss some more fuel on the fire. I also enjoyed these games as well.

Conan
Viking: Battle for Asgard
Ace Combat 6
Flat Out
The Orange Box
Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth
Lost Planet
Condemned
Gun

good call. I was just making a list. I agree that it's a awesome game. The party mode is a riot. When you get 8 people in a game, passing the controller around to play the Bowling minigame, it's pretty sweet

I third or fourth that! Call of Duty 4 is by far the best 360 game out there, and probably one of the top two or three video games I have played.

Cyclonepride · 05-01-2008, 12:05 PM

Oblivion is pretty awesome too.

They are 14 and 16 years old. They have some older Playstation 2 race games but they have been pretty lame and haven't bought any for the XBOX 360. They also had Big Game Hunter but never played it much. I try to steer them away from the violent games at home but I'm sure they play them at friends' houses.

We have XBOX Live that they use for Rock Band and they love it.

We should do some Cyclone Fanatic clan matches sometime.

What prestige is everyone? I have been on 7th prestige for like a month...been too busy coaching track to have time to level.

Anyone feel like listing their gamertags and playing some matches? Mine is "mstmcoach"

A bunch of friends and some randoms we've met from Iowa are in the "iowa" clan, which has nothing to do with the college, just the state.

I think I am just about to flip for the second time. Unfortunately, I haven't found time to play online since January! That's what getting married, selling two houses and buying one will get you. Luckily, my new bride doesn't care if I play, so when things settle down, I'll get back to it. Fonzi70 by the way.

I've got COD4, but haven't even had time to play any online multiplayer. My gamertag is jeff0514 if anyone's interested.
