it was a deal at future shop for canada only so i thought why not snap one up since its at a reasonable price for 200 dollars even the arcades are still priced the same so yeah i waited till the red ring of death slowed down hell of alot so yeah its not a clearance either i believe so thats good news so bassicaly i wanted anyone to try reccomend some games for me since i havent exactly kept up to date with the 360 i never owned before this being my first time owning it *i now has all current systems including the handhelds wooooo lol)

Most multiplattforms are better on the Xbox 360, so you should keep an eye on them too...

First of all, create your Xbox LIVE Gamertag from your console so you get a 1-month free Gold trial... then grab your 1 year subscription from maximuscards.com, they are at like $43, so you save $7...

Be sure to check out Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, Viva Piñata, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, GTA: Episodes from Liberty City, Dead or Alive 4, Capcom Platinum Hits Triple Pack (Dead Rising + Lost Planet: Colonies Edition + Devil May Cry 4) and the Bioshock + The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion bundle... all of them are at reduced prices, so you'll get a good collection of games for cheap.

And as DLC, Indie Games and Xbox LIVE Arcade games go, be sure to check them out by yourself on LIVE (marketplace.xbox.com) and check this month's Deals of the Week, so you can take advantage of some awesome deals for Gold members.... remember Dash of Destruction is a free XBLA game (Advergame by Doritos) so get that too lol.

Wii: 26 games
PSP: 8 games

Yes..... listen to Dezner....... SHADOW COMPLEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ninja Gaiden Black
Ninja Gaiden 2

If you like achievments then stick with Ninja Gaiden Black as Sigma doesn't have trophy support of PS3, but Sigma 2 is quite an upgrade over Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360 in graphics and extra content.

Ninja Gaiden Black is an Xbox game, not a 360 one, so it doesn't have achievements either... but something is true, both Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 can be bought VERY cheap now, for example, I got NGBlack for $12 and NG2 for $28 USD (both brand new, factory sealed), while Ninja Gaiden Sigma is still $100 and NGS2 hasn't even been announced yet (but will probably be either $100 or $120)

@DarkG..... I thought Ninja Gaiden for XBOX for remade with HD graphics on the 360? But, Sigma can be bought in the US for about $15 and Sigma 2 is the usual $60. Remember, you are getting rapped by Sony over there in Columbia my man lol. I know its not your fault though ;)

Yeah, but still, if the first one is $12 here, I can only imagine that it's even cheaper for a brand new, factory sealed copy over there... same for Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox 360, it must be quite cheap there if I can get it for $28 here... and that's not including the (non-existant for me) market of used games in other countries...

@DarkG..... I think those prices are right about the same here. I actually don't buy many used games unless I cant find the new somewhere wich does happen from time to time. I try to help developers buy not buying used.

Lost Odyssey. I just bought my Gold membership on Amazon.com for 39.99 and got free shipping so now I'm finally on Live! I was hoping to find someone as equally noob as I am at Left 4 Dead so I'm not so embarassed to play. heh Any takers?

I've been playing the crap outta Fable 2 lately and I believe I'll be completing it very soon. Also, get Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.
