Kinda stupid question to ask. Buh, what game should I get, since I bought a 360 and no game, and now have enough money to get a game?

You can always get Oblivion, that should keep you busy for a while.

Use the Marketplace to your advantage, get every demo you can and play them

This would be your best answer if you have Live. If not, what genre of game do you dig the most?

It totally hooks you in. I never played any of the previous installments, not really an RPG fan but this game is freaking sweet. I try not to play too often because it causes me to loose sleep since I dont want to put it down once I start it up. The game is huge, tons of quests, side quests, downloadable content, multiple character options. Its great.

i do have live. and i like RPGs and Strat-Shooters like GR. Ive played the GRAW demo and like it. But what Im really looking for is a very good live(multiplayer) game or an ingrossing game just like oblivion.

You could read one of the 3,000 other threads asking this exact same question and find your answer there.

be careful with graw. The co-op is awesome but the vs is definetly yanzor.FNR3 is awesome, even if you dont like boxing

YES, that is the way to go. The two best games in my opinion.

Oblivion is a great game as well, but it was too open-ended and time consuming for my taste (I'm guessing it would take someone 200+ hours to play the majority of the game). The loading times are kind of a pain, but clearing your cache or "game swapping" should take care of that (there should also be a patch on the way I think). Although once you play for a couple hours it starts to lag again. I stopped playing it because I don't have as much time to play games like when I was younger. I played Oblivion for 60 hours, and I didn't even start the main quest yet! Even during work and college, all I had in my mind was getting home and putting in some Oblivion time before going to sleep (it's like a drug; seriously). If you have a lot of time on your hands, then maybe you should take that route (it's on my TL if you're interested), otherwise pick up GRAW (which takes full advantage of Live's capabilities and/or Geometry Wars.

GRAW isn't the greatest game, but for online play, it's great!

Pick up some Marketplace Points and get Uno and Geometry Wars for $5 a piece.

That's all you need until Halo 3. and Gears of War. and Madden 07:D

I second the options of GRAW and Oblivion.

GRAW was simply awesome. Great graphics. Good length. Good difficulty. Cool co-op and vs.

Oblivion is insane. 15 hours in and I've barely gone into things if you ask me.

I'll be the black sheep and say get a Gamefly account. You can get 3 months of gamefly for about the same price as one new 360 game.
