Xbox games

I'm considering which game to get next, any advice?

The following seem interesting but am open to siggestions.
Rainbow 6 Vegas
GRAW
Lost Planet
Gears of War

Any tips for games for little ones? It'd be nice to have something my daughter could try.

By the way I tried the online gaming bit was fun apart from the odd annoying 12 yr old.

Great gadget though

I can recommend GRAW, but I hear GRAW2 will be out soon, so it is likely fewer people will play online as they will move over the GRAW2.

Hi Connor,

I don't play them as I can't use toggle controls but number one Son plays Gears of war and Lost planet and they look good to me.

Safe diving,
Steve.

EDIT: the Boy said Viva Piniatta would be a good game for your Daughter.

hi Conar

Rainbow six Vegas= Ace
GRAW = Ace
Lost Planet= Cack play, but looks good

Splinter cell= I love this game the graphics are brill on the 360, as is call of duty 3.

I also like PGR 3 as well.

Was supposed to be diving to day, but as my m8 has had his van broke into we have had to cancel the diving today (i was not to botherd as we have had about 15inch snow here over fri/sat) so i have been setting my 360 up on xbox live today instead as i had not got round to it before. Live does add a new dimension to the games, and is well worth doing.

I recommend all of the above as I have GoW, Lost Planet and GRAW.

With regard to what to get your kids, my 7 yr old loves Lego Star Wars II, The Trilogy. It is quite funny in places and the problem solving is fairly obvious.

PS thanks for the invite.

Regards

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

You need all of them! But if you had to choose one or get them one at a time, then purchase in this order:

Gears of War (Best game since Half-Life) loads of replay value due to the brilliant multi-player.

Rainbow Six Vegas - Very good but can be very frustrating in places, you can stick your own face on your multi-player character if you have the vision cam - very funny! (You will still be ginger tho!)

Lost Planet - Pretty, but again can be frustrating...

GRAW - Will get it on budget release as GRAWII is due out, and I need to finish my other games first!
