Picked up an Xbox 360 the other day

Does anyone on here have one and play on Live?

My older brother and I split the spring $300 bundle at Gamestop, where you get a 360 Elite, a headset, Halo 3 ODST, Forza 3, and a $50 Gamestop gift card. I also picked up Skate 2 for $20. All three games are awesome.

This is also my first "next-gen" console, considering we didn't have an HDTV until early last year. Now that we have HDMI and the setup done right, it's amazing.

What other games do you guys recommend to get? I'm looking for good sports/shooting games. I'm thinking about picking up Perfect Dark for $10 on the Live Marketplace, since I still play the original on my N64 and online play is enticing. Any others I should know about?

But is this game set in the Middle East though?

I was watching trailers for Modern Warfare 2 and the weapons were current, but the environments were unrealistic (snow, weird deserts, etc.). It seemed like everything blows up too easily.

I looked at both systems but pretty much all the games that PS3 has are also on 360, and the Playstation Network isn't as good as Live.

I don't really play online. What sold me is the bluray player. Plus I'm not into all those sport games and I also have a lot of PS2 games that I still want to play. I don't anticipate getting a 360 anytime soon. I sold my original xbox along with ALL my games on ebay and got a nice chunck of change for the lot which helped me save $ on paying for the playstation and I gave my PS2 (which is still working) to my son so he has it in his room now.

MW/MW2 have some of the most ridiculous single-player stories/campaigns. I highly recommend that.

If your into RPG's/sci-fi, HIGHLY recommend Mass Effect 1/2. Also check out Gears of War 1/2. Its not a FPS, but a shooter nonetheless and an awesome game at that.

I played the COD:World at War demo and the gameplay was too slow.

I think we have decided on our next couple games:

MLB 10 ($50)
Fight Night Round 4 ($10)
Medal of Honor: Airborne ($15)

Try the demo of MW/MW2. They are much faster paced IMO.

PS3 -> Fifa10 & Battle Field Bad Company 2 all day! Plus I think its retarded to pay for the system pay for the game $60.00 and on top of that pay to PLAY ONLINE on the xbox, fuck that. That is why I am sticking with the PS3 and honestly the servers are great I have no problems playing online.

I'm not planning on buying any games for $60. I'm late into this cycle of consoles, so I can pick up the games I missed for cheap, and by the time I'm done playing them, the current ones will be cheap as well.

Xbox Live is great though. And it only costs $40 for a year ($3.33 a month).

I've played about 1500 hours of Call of Duty 1 & 2 for PC...not the consoles though.

Borderlands. I've been playing that non-stop since I got it. Plus, they keep releasing new content for it so it really doesn't get old.
