    Alrighty, I've finally got a 360 w/ kinect so I need some games to play. We got a couple of the Kinect games to go with it, but I want to get a few "serious" games.

    So, what are some older (cheaper) games that are X-box exclusives (I have a PS3) that I need to check out?

    I know, I know... Halo... but I'm not a huge FPS fan... so lets see what you guys have to suggest.

    Thanks for any input.

    Anything, really... Racing, adventure, platforming... Just not really FPS.

    Ooooo, yea. I needs to check out Forza!

    If you like adventure games, check out Fable 2 and 3. Fable 2 is fairly cheap to find these days.

    Mass Effect 2 is good and about $30-40 at most stores.

    Monday Night Combat is also extremely fun and about fifteen bucks on the XBLA. Go buy it.

    All I have on X-Box are sports games or FPS :( 

    If you dare enter the realm of FPS ... and believe me, there's some good ones...

    - Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
    - Gears of War 1 & 2
    - Halo 3 & Halo Reach

    I found HALO WARS to be extremely addicting (RTS).

    Well, to be honest if you have a ps3 you might have a good number of games that people might suggest to you. There might be some live arcade exclusive games that you might like.

    Hmmm... I remember my roommate back in college had Fable on the original x-box. It seemed pretty fun, I might check those two out.

    Well, it's not that I don't really like FPS, it's just that I REALLY suck at them. I just can't seem to get a sense of my surroundings. Therefore, they tend to not be all that fun because I spend most of my time being frustrated that I can't move where I want, or figure out where the hell I'm being shot at from... you know.

    Yea, I think I'll definitely check out some Forza and might even try out Mass Effect.

    Thanks, for all the suggestions, guys.
