Looking for a new game for the holidays (XBOX 360)

I would actually go as far to say that AC II had a better story mode than Uncharted 2. This is coming from someone who didn't play the first. But the value in the multiplayer of Uncharted 2 is better, and there's nothing to do in AC II after you finish the story, as there's no online or extra difficulty modes, and I've heard the DLC's weren't the best.

Batman was also brilliant, purely because of the fact that it was a licensed game that was completely awesome. GOTY edition coming out soon as well (but only comes with free DLC and 2 payed ones). But it was irritatingly short, and the Challenge Rooms IMO got old fast.

So considering the fact that you won't be getting many more games any, time soon, I would say rent AC II and Arkham Asylum, or better, get each for a week at EB Games, then return them for a full refund. Then, get something like BC 2 or ME 2.

Once you get Bday money... You should seriously consider Red Dead Redemption, bound to be a classic Western game, with tonnes of longevity even in the story.

I'm guessing you have PS2 and 360? I wouldn't get a PS2 game tbh, and I'm amazed that GoW 2 would cost $25 pre-owned, that's surely atleast $10 a bit high.

And don't get The Godfather II, it was terrible, the first was OK, but in any case, wait for Mafia II.

Lots to choose from really.

Cheers for your reply mate.

I heard from a few mates that Arkham Asylum was really good but short, so it might be a good one to rent like you suggested there.

I'll definitely check out Red Dead Redemption when I get the bday money, looking on gamespot it looks as though it'll be pretty good.

I used to have a ps2 but not anymore. It's $25 for the 360. I'm considering it quite a bit because I liked GoW1 a lot and some GoW2 should cure that inevitable boredom that arises in the holidays. But I've got a few mates who play Cod 4 so that would be fun to do on those lazy days.
 
Arkham Asylum has a great campaign, kept me occupied for a while, Bioshock is another good shooter.
 
If you have the time then surely get Splinter Cell: Conviction releasing around mid April. :)

Oh, Gears of War, thought you meant God of War. Wrong acronym, sorry :facepalm .

I wouldn't get CoD 4, too old and too overpriced. Get Gears of War.

The second DLC was really good. See my post in the ACII thread.
