I would say Halo 3 or CoD4 they have longevity on online and there is always someone to talk about it with.

But Uncharted and Assassin's creed seem really innovative and are more adventure-like if your into that. But Assassin's creed will be really similar to PoP.

I can't recommend Smackdown and I don't know much about Mass effect.

But its really about what you like.

Smackdown vs raw 2008 thats the game im most exited for

I'd pick Halo 3. I have yet to play it, but I really enjoyed Halo 1 & 2, and have beat them both tons of times. Halo 3 has a rank system, and those are very easy to get addicted to and play for days to get that next rank. I really enjoy BF2 being ranked, and I think Halo 3 would be a lot of fun too.

If you really enjoy ripping it up online I'd go with Call of Duty 4, otherwise Assassin's Creed. The CoD4 single player game is really short...

CoD4 FTW.

1. Halo 3
2. Mass Effect
3. Call of Duty 4

Go with Assassin's Creed...and this is coming from a HUGE wrestling fan.

hmmmm, COD4 seems tempting, so does Halo. Uncharted and Assassin's look grea, but no online... I'm still confused, LOL. Thanks guys.

im gettin COD4

yeah im waiting 4 SDvsRaw 08 think my friends geting COD 4

Get COD4, then my second bet is Uncharted

1) Wait on more reviews

2) Games with no online multiplayer that aren't niche games you'll never see again can be bought later used or when they go to the bargain bin/greatest hits/platinum hits.

3a) Games with annual updates can be bought when next-year's version comes out for cheap. Remember, they usually trade for crap, so you can probably give a friend or someone you know more than Gamestop will offer in trade, but less than you'd pay used. Win/Win for you and them.

3b) Skip this year's version and just wait for next year. There might be enough changes to make it "fresh" again for you.

4) If you can't decide between two multiplayer games that you know are both good, then see how many of your friends have them. The one with more friends playing wins.

Assasin's creed may not have online but the game is huge! It looks like a lot of fun.

Get Halo 3 so we can play online.

cod4 is a piece of crap man..don't fall for what people saying "cod4 is the best and all that"
I know Assisans Creed doesn't include online but it seems way better then the others, consider you already got REsistance, Gears of war, Rainbow 6vegas....why would you pay 70 dollars for another shooter while you don't really need it...all those people who comment here dont know you already own the best FPSs so they didn't consider that you shouldn't get a game like cod4 cause while Gamespot revierws smoking ileagle drugs just as they writing the reivews doesn't mean the game is good...it only has a good multiplayer, the campigan is so carpy that it take only 5 hours to finish!

anyway it's your call

they all sound great to me, but i think i would go with assisain creed, or uncharted drake, which ever one of those come out first then get them...lol

CoD 4

Assassin's creed or Halo 3 if you want a nice online experience

Get AC

Online multiplayer games are all about the community, the other players. Like fighting games, this gives them the potential to have an incredible lifespan versus single player games. For many people, you finish a single player game and that's it. Done. Trade it in for something else. Hence my recommendation on waiting to get it cheaper than $60.

Assassin's Creed, is the better of them all!

Decide yet Shaz? You certainly got plenty of opinions/advice

I really do, lol. Thanks guys, especially you Chika. Well, I've been thinking about it, and it seems that COD4 and Assassin's Creed have been the favored one's here. So, it's more or less between them. However, I've yet to try the drake demo, so that's still in. But I agree with you chika about the single player game. I beat Bioshock, and haven't touched it since. So something online would be a great choice, but again, Assassin's creed is very reminiscent of the POP series, which I loved, and own the whole trilogy, so that's a biggy there. I hope I can get a couple of more choices, lol. Also, keep in mind, I've never beat a halo, considering I'm relatively new to the Xbox as a whole. So I don't know if i would truly enjoy the single player.

"Also, keep in mind, I've never beat a halo, considering I'm relatively new to the Xbox as a whole. So I don't know if i would truly enjoy the single player."

In that case, go pick up Halo 1 and Halo 2 for your 360 (assuming you have the harddrive for BC) - they should be dirt cheap by now. Now, they're a bit old so I'm not sure how well they've aged, but hey... I actually got Halo 1 for PC not too long ago and have been playing a level here and there - still fun, although I'm not comparing it to anything more recent. Halo 1 co-op is a lot of fun, though

Between AC and COD4 (glad you narrowed it down!) I'd go COD4 and wait for AC to go down in price on the system of your choice (ie, whichever its better on - nice having both, ain't it?).

As for the other games? Take you time - they're not going anywhere. Big name, big budget, y'know? Now, if it was something small or niche? Grab it right away - you may never see it again. My buddy had to choose between a Castlevania game and some new, big-name game (can't remember) a few years ago, and I told him straight out, "Get Castlevania."

Niche game = fewer sales = smaller print runs and less likely to be reprinted = paying twice as much for it later on eGouge

Big name game = tons of sales = big print runs and likely to be reprinted or make greatest hits = it'll be easy to find and cheap later on

This line of thinking has NEVER led me astray. Its good for surprise hits too - I bought Katamari Damancy using that logic

Yeah, I was planning on picking up previous Halo's before I go for the big one. But the thing is, I got a week or two left for my live subscription and I'm not really willing to dish out 60 for a whole year. (I'm on the one month free). So I think a solid rent of Halo one and two would be good before I dip into 3. Yeah, it's pretty much COD or AC. Both seem great. But yeah, that's true, the games aren't going anywhere, lol. (still waiting for drake demo, DAMN THIS IS SLOW). Lol, Katamari was pretty fun, I liked it. I've been trying to sell my Forza, got it free with the 360, but they're offering me piss poor prices. Like, 10 dollars. As if I'd take 10 bucks for a 70 dollar game. 10 bucks = Two packs of chips and cookies. IMO, not worth it.

Forza 2? That's being bundled with Marvel Ultimate Alliance right now, so yeah, good bye resale-value. You'd be better off giving that to a friend or something.

GET COD4
