Xbox 360 Action Games

[Dreamer1084]

I am looking for new action games so what is good? Some games that I have been looking at are Bionic Commando, Wheelman, Robert Ludlum's: The Bourne Conspiracy, Battlefield: Bad Company, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, Stranglehold, Call Of Juarez and Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood.

I am just confused because I am trying to go off of user reviews to figure out what is good.

Deadspace is pretty good if you're looking for some Horror action.

Resident Evil 5 is a must have and specially fun on co-op campaign.

I'm assuming you've already played the Gears series lol.

but Bourne Conspiracy, Battlefield and Quantum of Solace look like they could be decent rent games,

Deadspace doesn't look like anything I would enjoy and yeah I already have Resident Evil 5 & the Gears Of War games which I have already beaten.

Bad Company isnt merely a rental game, its got a decent campaign, but it shines online. The online is CTF/Deathmatch, its very cool.

Bionic Commando is incredibly linear, with instant death if you stray off the correct path, which means you cannot explore the bustling metropolis thats visible.

Bourne Conspircy is fast paced action, very well put together... Its just too short. The combat is fluid and the environmental stuff can be pretty brutal.

Uh, other action games would definitely be Resident Evil 5, its decent single player. The AI can, at times, be pretty retarded, and its like a different game when you play online with a friend.

Crackdown is a good open world action-oriented game, superhero cops taking down several gangs. Nothing really I can say to fault the game, and it only improves when you play online.

Oh, then theres Prototype... I have nothing but praise for that game, shape shifting super powered being(cant call him a superhero, maybe an anti-hero) hell bent on revenge. The story is great, with plenty of twists along the way.

If you like flight games, HAWX is geared more towards action than a flight sim, very top-gun-ny.

Also, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, its an action RPG with a bunch of Marvel superheroes. Again, nicely done story with more of an emphasis on the action rather than the RPG element. The RPG element of the game primarily consists of levelling up the characters to learn new powers and unlock costumes, so it has some degree of customisation.

Another good action game is Red Faction: Guerrilla. The sheer amount of destruction you can cause is impressive, and it all looks good while you do it. The story is ok, liberating the workers of Mars from the oppressive Earth Defence Force.

Uh, thats about it off the top of my head man, I hope this little list helps in some small way.

I really enjoyed Saint's Row 1 & 2 and GTA IV and the last game I beat was Ghostbusters. I have thought about getting the Call Of Juarez games but I am unsure.

Haha, Neo has a great list, I cant belive I forgot some of the games out there.

Crackdown is really good and fun to play, high reccomendation from me.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a win too, simply because you can play 4 player co op through Live or on one Tv...epic...and its loads of fun.

Nah, Call of Juarez wasnt really highly rated I believe, if you're into westerns, you might as well wait for Red Dead Redemption 2, which looks really promising.

Splinter Cell Double Agent is good too if you're into that kinda games.

GRAW 1 and 2 are pretty good too, I love tactital shooters so this should be fun if you're into that sorta thing.

If you have a PS3, I highly reccomend inFamous, thats a fun game, I have no idea how MS let this one get past them.

Mass Effect is a great buy too.

Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood got an 8.0 on Gamespot and the first one got a 7.4 so they seem worth it.

Meh sound like rents to me.

Regardless what anyone say, if a game gets more than 8.5 on IGN, I buy it, sure they may not appeal to everyone, but my tastes and IGN tend to be very similar, unless its a game I know have to get, then I'd buy it regarldess of the score jsut to see it for myself.
