So, after Crackdown 2, my Gamefly list has nothing up until Mafia II, which is until late August, so I've decided to go into the back catalogy of games that I missed. Then, I suddenly drew a blank and can't remember any games that people said to check out, so I would like some ideas on here. I just added Dragon Age: Origins on my list as that's the last thing I could remember missing.
Don't say really popular things like Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, Super Street Fighter IV as I've already played most of those. I'm looking for some hidden gem type stuff.
Thanks in advance!

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Give me some 360 game recommendations.
@lilman1101:
Games I own: Dead Rising, Gears 1 and 2, RE5, DMC4, Skate 2, Mass Effect 1 and 2, MW2, BC2, Super Street Fighter 4 and regular, Fallout 3, GTA4, Saints Row 1 and 2, Crackdown, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, CoD:WaW, Hitman Blood Money, Halo 3 and ODST, and Red Dead Redemption.
I tried Lost Odyssey, it was okay, but I'm not that into JRPGs. Same thing with Tropico 3, not a fan of that genre.
@bigsmoke77:
Lol, yeah. That's the problem. I've got most of the big hits down, so I'm looking for some sleeper hits.
"Well...that really narrows it down.@lilman1101:

Hmmm, i'll see if i can think of anything else, but i hear Lost Odyssey is pretty good.
@BadSniper52:
Played that as well.
Anyone play that new Transformers game? Was that any good?
Super Street Fighter 4 is really good and so is Red Dead Redemption. I think Mass Effect is great too.
Silent Hill: Homecoming. I'm assuming you played Dead Space?
As for flawed but fun games: Too Human, The Wheelman, Strangehold, AC.
Mirrors Edge also was fricking awesome. Hope they make a sequel.
Farcry 2 is cool too, if a bit overwhleming.
I feel like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic was a pretty good game that a lot of people overlooked if you want to try that out.
Played every game you mention besides Wheelman and Too Human, but I did play the demos for those and didn't enjoy either.
BF: BC2, I going to get in a few days, just got to get the money because I'm buying a new monitor for my PC and 360.
Well guess what? You aren't alone, I played that game and loved it. Too bad the last achievement I need glitched and I never felt like renting it again to get it.
" Kameo: Elements of Power "@Landon said:
" Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. "These are a couple of my favorites on the system
Well, I think I have found my choices for now.
Darksiders
Transformers: War for Cybertron
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements
If anyone has more games to recommend, please continue. I would still like to see some more.
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a really fun game. Collecting parts for your vehicles and building them is so damn addictive.
SSF4 is a really great fighting game, so is Virtua Fighter 5 Online.
Tales of Vesperia is one of the best JRPGs to come out in a long time, but since you're not into RPGs I'm not sure if you will like it. The battle system is a lot different than other RPGs though, it's more real time like Star Ocean.
Ninja Blade is a quirky, cheese-filled take on the action genre. It has insanely over the top cinematics, crazy bosses, and a lot of pretty memorable moments simply because it's so out there.
Bayonetta is a must play, especially on the 360.
Metro 2033 is an AMAZING FPS, with some of the best graphics on the 360 and probably one of the most immersive FPS's I've ever played.
@xyzygy: Played Bayonetta, Ninja Blade, Virtua Fighter 5, and I am not interested in the other games you listed, but thank you for remindering me of Metro 2033. I was going to rent that awhile back and never got the chance too.
@Retro:
Played that already.
What about the Assassin's Creed games. I didn't see those on your list of played games. Also I would second Oblivion except for the fact that the game is massive and can suck hundreds of hours to finish everything so maybe not a good rental. Also Dead Space, the Army of Two games if you have a buddy to play with, the FEAR games, Red Faction, and the Darkness are all games I would recommend.
Your games list says shooter...so I have to recommend something with guns...Bioshock comes to mind but it's not a "rare gem"...Dead Space is a real tight game....Call of Duty 4 if only for the singleplayer. As for a rare game try Singularity.
Non-shooters: Assassins creed (1 or 2) and Fable 2
@blacklabeldomm: Played all of those
@bobguy94: I played that game, didn't really like it.
@TheGreatGuero: Played it, really liked it and hope they make a sequel.
@triple07:
Played everything you just said, the list I made was all the games I own, bot all the games I've played.
