[Raith Against The Machine]

I'm getting an Xbox tomorrow, and it'll be the first time I've owned a "next gen" console.

I've obviously played my fair share of Fifa etc at mates, and for a while one of my flatmates had a Playstation which led to me getting 100% on Red Dead Redemption. Alternative games were at a bit of a premium...

Now, what I'm really asking is what are the real "classic" next gen games? I've already got Arkham Asylum and I've sourced a copy of GTA4 to borrow, but I'm interested in picking up a few other games over the next couple of weeks.

Once you complete Arkham Asylum then don't hesitate, just go and buy Arkham City.

Fallout New Vegas is amazing and will keep you occupied for months.

Battlefield three stunning.

[DanElderRRFC]

The Bioshock games are 2 of the best I've ever played, you could probably get them both for under a tenner now as well.

fallout 3, oblivion , left for dead 1 & 2
the halo series
gears of war 1 2 3
fable 2 & 3

Skryim - A classic in the making - Sold at game/gamestation for £22!

[Sherrif John Bunnell]

Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Forza 4 if you're after a driving game. The Limbo/Trials HD/Splosion Man collection is excellent value for money as well

Install an Amiga emulator, make sure you have to correct kickstart Rom file and you should be good to go.

Im on my second play of Fallout new vegas and for the second time ive reprogrammed the bright followers rockets to go optimal because im an extremely nice guy but i want to know if anything interesting happens if you make them crash into each other.

I think if i play through for a third time it wont be for a while and ill also be an asshole.

Cheers for the reply, I tried an emulator in the past, but it was a 3 disk game and I think i done the input at the startup screen wrong, so when I got to a certain point, it just crashed.

Red Dead Redemption, a brilliant game.

I'm in a simialr vein, i picked up an xbox and Fifa afew months ago, being a newbie to next gen gaming.

I've almost finished Arkham City, and it's easily one of my top 5 games ever as a result.

Aside from Arkham Asylum, what games in a simialr vein are worth picking up? Actually, wouldn't Arkham Asylum be a crusing let down after Arkham City?

[P.C]

Suppose if its those games that are trying to be next gen then LA Noir, fair enough the gameplay gets repititive but concept is a good one and looks good id recommend

Skyrim (tho suspect you have this on pc)
Arkham City
Gears 3
Dead Space 1 or 2
Mass Effect 2
Lost oddessy (old school turn based rpg on 4 disks)

id recommend Fallout 3/new vegas but if you have skyrim will seem like a cheap immitation

I think it would be worth while mate, probably get it for about £10 now and if nothing else you can see the small improvements made from 1st to 2nd game but still great game

It probably will, there's a lot less gadgets but you still get to fight different villains(although again, there's a lot less of them). Should've bought Asylum first

I should've, but I couldn;t wait to play Arkham City, it looked ridiculous. there's loadsa stuff in that game I appear to miss, I might bump the thread with a spoilerific post about side missions.

I get the impression that the Assasins Creed series would be a good Batman substitute in terms of gameply style, would I be right?

If you do then I'll happily help, I've completed all the side missons

Never played them.

the first AC game i thought was pretty poor tho the 2nd was really good tho cant comment on Brotherhood or AC3

[Raith Against The Machine]

I knew this thread would come in handy...

I've got an Xbox 360, is there a compatible version of GTA: Vice City that I can buy?

[Vanquinho.]

Which versions of the PS3 have PS2 backwards compatibility?

And, would it be better value buying one of these or getting a newer one and picking up a cheap PS2 instead?
