Xbox

So I just inherited an Xbox 360 and I have no grasp or concept of whats out there and available. I love RPG's, real time strategy and first person shooters... Can anyone recommend any games?

well, i can't suggest any good RPG's for Xbox 360, and i don't know which games are available to you there in Canada but i can tell you for:
PS 1&2 : The Kingdom Hearts series, Tales of the Abyss (by Namco) and Tales of Legendia (by Namco), Grandia II
Wii or Gamecube: Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia are good. I heard there is a second Tales of Symphonia out, i have yet to play it but if it's anything else like the other Tales games it should be awesome!

I'm a playstation and Nintendo fan myself and if you have any of those systems i would suggest playing those if you haven't already! 

If you like RPG's

Dragon Age Origins (although better on the PC)
Mass Effect 1 (2 is coming out in a few months but 1 was arguably the best game of the year when it came out).
If you like sci-fi open ended worlds - fallout 3
More recently - Borderlands (but better as a multi-player)

Shooters - Call of Duty Modern Warfare, nuff said.

Blue Dragon.

The only reason the game did poorly is because they released a JRPG on a system originally geared for American shooter meat-heads (yeah, you all heard me, want to fight about it?)

and of course there is Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, Fable 1 & 2, and of course Halo 3....and I believe there was a thread somewhere that we listed a bunch of our gamertags...

(yeah, you all heard me, want to fight about it?)

Yes. I believe I do.

Xbox does indeed lack the generic spikeyhair, no talking, world needs saving, games the PS does, but there are a slew of other good games for it.

If you want like 200 hours of game time get Oblivion for X Box. Also Fallout 3 is awesome but I wouldn't play it at the same time as Oblivion, because they use the same engine and you might get a little bored of it. Both also have multiple expansions.

The 360 has a ton of everything you're looking for actually.  While I support the PS3 like it's my job (oh wait...) I can definitely point you in the right direction for games for the 360.

Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey play like traditional turn based RPGs and offer a ton of game time, so if you've got a lot of time to burn, definitely look into these two.  Oblivion and Fall Out 3 are definitely great games that take place from a first person view and also has RPG elements.  I'm a huge fan of Fall Out 3 actually so if you like FPS games and RPGs definitely look into getting it.  Since you're looking into RPGs and shooters, also take a look at Mass Effect.  It combines RPG elements with a third person shooter.  Dragon Age: Origins plays a lot like Baldur's Gate and is a a lot of fun to play and has a ton of replay ability.  Also keep in mind that Final Fantasy XIII is coming out in a few months, so you have that to look forward to.

As for shooters, the most obvious answer is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 & 2.  Both have amazing single player campaigns and fantastic online multiplayer.  Another game that I want everyone to play is Bioshock.  It's my hands down favorite first person shooter by a long shot and the second one is coming out in under a month.  There's also Halo 3, Halo: ODST, Gear of War and Gears of War 2 out which are all reasonably cheap now and are still amazing games.

As for real time strategy, there really isn't a lot.  The only ones that I can really think of are Halo Wars, Command and Conquer: Red Alert and Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars.  I'm not much of an RTS player, so I don't know how they are.

I hope this helps you out.

Any of the Lego adventures games are a lot of fun (Batman, Indiana Jones and the Star wars series). For first person shooters I am a big fan of Left for Dead 1 or 2, its about killing zombies.

LEGO games FTW! there is something so satisfying about playnig as a LEGO chewbacca and ripping the LEGO arms off of LEGO storm troopers *contented sigh*

most rpgs i can tell you about from experience have already been mentioned, but just bc i love it so much ill mention that elder scrolls 4: oblivion is awesome, and elder scrolls 3: morrowind is worth playing... also i heard borderlands was a pretty good fpsrpg

ahaha oh wow thanks guys/ gals!

Ok so far I have Mass Effect 1, Assassins Creed 1 & 2, Red Faction and Gears of War lol I think that should fill my boots. I've already played Fallout 1-3 on my computer so I felt little need for them on the system.

I'm just worried Im going to purchase a mainly online game by accident thats all.

Do be careful about purchasing any RTS games for consoles... The lack of mouse/keyboard control seeeriously changes how the games handle, namely not being able to move your view around as fast.

Oh yeah! also for shooter (I am a big fan of 1st person shooters myself!) I'd recommend looking out for Battlefeild: Bad Company 2, or any of the other Battlefeild games as well, I admire Battlefeilds games for their frostbite engine, I mean you can freggin take whole buildings crumbling down!! what more do you want?!

Well hey, if you have xbox you can get the demo right now, it's pretty nice I will say, but I seem to be sucking pretty badly... but I think it's because I'm really use to modern warfare 2 controls, but I'll get there

There are many first-person shooter games that are available for Xbox 360. Games like Destiny 2, Call of duty and more. It depends on which one would you like to play. I have recently started playing this game Destiny 2 and it's so much fun, it takes on the epic journey of the solar system. I play this game with my friends in multiplayer mode and also challenge them. I bought this game at an amazing price from this useful site . You should definitely try this game at least once. It's very interesting.
