Reccomend a game?

Hey, I've just completed Mass Effect and I've already started my second playthrough, but I was wondering what other games I should try.

I like Mirror's Edge, Left 4 Dead and Mass Effect, but I DON'T like Halo, Call of Duty of Gears of War, so none of them please.

If you enjoyed Mass Effect, maybe you will enjoy Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, 1 and 2. They were both made by Bioware, have similar styles to Mass Effect and are considerd by many to be some of the best games. Though they are a bit older and only on PC and the original Xbox, you can get a download to your 360 consoel that alowes you to play a range Star Wars games Including these, they still stand up pretty well.

I might also recomend Oblivion and Fallout 3, both are made by Bethseda and quite highly praised for their huge area and detail aswell as gameplay. Fable 2 is also pretty good, also has choices of morality and strategy other then combat. The Darkness is often overlooked, it is mainly FPS, but unlike other FPS you are the horror and gain power from slinking around in the dark and pierce enemies with tenticles. And lastly if you are a fan of Star Wars Star Wars: the force unleashed, is quite fun.

You like western RPGs but not FPS games... hmm. Have you tried Fallout 3? Oblivion? Fable 2? Out of the western RPGs that are on Xbox 360 that I've played, Mass Effect is the best. Fallout 3 is also excellent. Oblivion is decent, but has a deeply flawed character development system. I haven't played Fable 2 as I don't have an Xbox 360, but have heard good things about it.

Tell us what other genres you like and we can give you better recommendations.

No I like FPS like BioShock, Left 4 Dead and Half-Life/Half-Life 2.

I may pick up KOTOR on Steam as it's quite cheap. Oblivion and Fallout 3 seem good as well so I may get them as well. I liked Mass Effect for the dialogue system. My favourite missions were the ones sorting out arguments with dialogue.

I also like intuitive games like Mirror's Edge and Portal. I play Mirror's Edge over and over again.

I don't like over the top games like Call of Duty. I've tried the demo and it seems a bit too realistic for my liking.

Halo's alright, but I'm only on Halo 2 at the moment.

Knights of the Old Republic is utterly incredible. Best story in any game I've played, and some of the best characterisation also.

Beyond that, I'm currently on a bit of a naval binge, so Silent Hunter 4 and Jutland are options.

Also Empire total war and Heart of Iron 3 are both excellent, although be warned they were still in need of substantial patches since I played them last, more patches have come out but don't know if they've addressed the issues yet.

I would definitely get Civilization IV and download the Fall From Heaven II mod. Amazing.

Here's one that no one seems to have pointed out: Jade Empire.
...Another BioWare game.

Advent Rising is a good one. It along with Mass Effect, KOTOR, and Monster Hunter is my favorite game. It's a tps action game with probably the most interesting story of any game I've played. It was criticized by reviewers for it having annoying controls but it's a cult hit and once you get used to it, the combat is really fun.. Last I checked, they have it on steam really cheap.

I'm going to get KotOR on Steam. That should keep me going until November when I get Left 4 Dead 2. I also have Neverwinter Nights which I never got that far in to.

Have you tried Batman: Arkham Asylum ? You can get a demo see if it's your type of game.

Mario & Luigi; Bowser's Inside Story

I got it at the day it was released in Europe, and it is awesome

I tried the demo, it seems a bit same-y to me as every other Superhero game.

Ah. Everyone I know who tried it loved it. The person who does the voice for the joker does a really good job. I also love the fact that it goes slow motion in combat. It's the only super hero game I ever liked. But the game is a lot like the demo.

I think the problem is knowing what sort of games you like. You say you finished Mass Effect. Are there skill settings? If so, I never complete a game UNTIL the hardest skill setting has been played from beginning to end.

Plus it is always fun to play it a different way, first time I played I was mostly nice, male, biotic, named Bradleigh and teamed up mostly with Tali and Liara. I have been meaning to finish my game where I am playing a mean, female, soldier, named Ashleigh and teaming up with Wrex and Garrus. I have a tendency in certain games to have a saved game under the name feminem version of my name being "Ashleigh" and going totaly evil .
