Look, I realize every bastard on these forums has made a thread where he'll post a small list of games & say, "So, I need some help, which game should I purchase next?" Well, I'm joinin' the club.
All these games are incredibly cheap & I'm interested in most of 'em, just got paid, & would dig a new game right about now.
SO! If you wouldn't mind, tell me WHY I should purchase whatever game you post, a small, helpful explanation.
And the list:

The Club
Devil May Cry 4
Army Of Two
Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Project Gotham Racing 4
Need For Speed: ProStreet
Timeshift

Gonna buy one of these shits. If you know of any deals goin' on, on some website somewhere, lemme know.
Thanks in advance.

I would say... I dunno. I'm torn between TimeShift and DMC4.

TimeShift has a mediocre single-player campaign, but it offers some seriously awesome multiplayer with customization options and tons of other features that you never see on consoles. The match variants are incredible, and you can hotswitch all of the settings on the fly, without having to leave and make a new room (it resets the map though). It also adds the fun Time Grenade mechanic. The problem with TimeShift is that nobody plays the multiplayer anymore- it didn't gain enough sales to build up a community, so it's hard to get a game together. it does have free DLC with achievements though.

Devil May Cry is a pretty fun game with some wicked cool combos and fighting styles, even though it forces quite a bit of backtracking. It has some (kind of limited) replay value, but it's an interesting playthrough if you're into Action games.

I wouldn't particularly recommend any of those.

But I like your username TC.

Thank you Jayge. Man, see, that's the kinda shit I appreciate right there. Most cats just post the game they think is best & leave it at that. You added in that little bit of information, and I appreciate it man.
That's nuts though to me that TimeShift's MP is actually rad. Had no clue about it. Usually with the sleeper games, the sleeper hits, the mutiplayer that is added into the game isn't all too shabby. But maybe if I get TimeShift, we could set up a game???

Thanks man. But keep 'em comin' if anybody else has any suggestions.

Anything's possible. I lent it to a friend though. That bastard better still have it.

If you're going to get Condemned, go with the first one. Both are OK, but the first is much more believable, and it's actually interesting to play through. The second feels much more like "we're doing this shit to SHOCK YOU! BE AFRAID!", instead of the truly disturbing things out of the first.

I actually have the 1st game & haven't beaten it. I have such a bad habit of playin' through a bit of each game I own & not returning to it until way later. I haven't completed a lot of my 360 games. It's a shame, I know. But I'll definitely pick up where I left off with Condemned & try and complete it. What I've played through so far, I've sincerely enjoyed.

I'd go with either Devil May Cry 4 or Project Gotham Racing 4 if you like relatively realistic racing games.  DMC is very stylish and fun, but as tired as you might be of the bosses in it when you finish it, you might not want to go back to it that much.  Very fun first playthrough though in my opinion.  PGR has a ton of stuff to do and some interesting match ups in the races, but I prefer my racing games a bit more arcade styled, so I'm much more of a Burnout fan.  Had a lot of fun with it when I rented PGR4, but didn't consider it a keeper.

I thought the Club, Need for Speed: Prostreet (and I liked Most Wanted and Carbon), and Army of Two were all kind of garbage.  Timeshift and Condemned 2 were okay.

Thanks man. And thank you to everybody else. I'll probably pick up a couple of titles. I'd say probably TimeShift & DMC4. Well, shit, I dunno haha, I'm an incredibly indecisive dude.
Anyhow, I appreciate all your suggestions.
By the way, just curious, when you guys shop online for games, where do you tend to shop from the most?

I am just interested in TimeShift because, I dunno...I like to give the little guys a chance too. Ya know?
I'm totally a fan of some of the mainstream, well - known titles, definitely. But, some of these "sleepers," I like to at least give 'em a shot. If they're decent, I'll probably at some point shell out some dough for 'em when they're cheap.
Not saying that you all DON'T give these games a chance, cause obviously, most have.
Maaan, yeah, I think DMC4 might be a definite. Now to think of the 2nd one...

My favorite in that list is Project Gotham Racing 4. If you like racing, get it.

I like racing. But Project Gotham is like a mix of arcade & simulation, right?
Or is it leaning more towards the arcade - ish side?
Cause I don't really like Forza 2, it's a highly rated, great game, to those people who have all sorts of knowledge about cars & shit. But, I do not, so I prefer the racing games like GRID.

... you know what, I would just say the same thing... mmm ok ok. It's your taste in games. I'll try to help.

I couldnt sit down for more than 10 minutes playing the original condemned. Scared the shit outta me... STOP LAUGHING! It's no joke. Have you got the first?
If you have the first, GET the second. It's good shit. It really messes with your head and its good art direction. Just cause I couldnt handle the scaryness, doesnt mean you cant. That way you got a sequel in your collection right? I'd wanna play the first before getting thrown into the next. So I could understand the story more. It really is interesting though. Apparently this one is scarier than the last! Now thats crazy. If you like horror, get this shit yo.

PGR4 - I guess it seems you dont like customization much, just wanna race huh? Seems like the right game here for that.
Check out the video review here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25838.html
there's like no tuning necessary for the cars and it still looks good.

Devil May Cry 4, I dont like beat-em-up, slash-em up, fuk-em up watever type games, but it does seem like a lot of "fun" for those who like that genre. If you like stringing together combos and that lark, this'll be great for you.

Timeshift, avoid. Geez. Dont just get it cause you can. Unless your real into Generic shooters. If so... I have nothing to say to you on that.

Need for Speed: Pro Street, I played the demo, didnt like, and I love driving games. I'll just say one thing:
the engine sounds and the movement of the car, are not calibrated together correctly. Doesnt "feel" right. That was my impression. And that, is just NOT ON. Download the demo and you'll see.
AVOID.

The Club ? LMFAO ROFL So anyways, yea.... NO

Army of Two - I just.. mmmm,  I heard the single player AI partner is rubbish and its best to be played with a human as player 2. I'll let you decide on that one. I wouldnt get it, no one is playing it on my friends list. but then, I suppose you make friends with people who play it, once you get it. Story isnt much to be desired for me.

So... summing up

Racing: PGR 4
Beat-em-up: DMC 4
Survival Horror: Condemned

Pick your favourite genre out of the 3 and the rest is in your pocket. I'd get PGR4 cause i think it'd last you the longest. and you'd enjoy yourself. PEACE
