Looking for a Good Game...

For Xbox 360.

Hubby leaves for Iraq in March for a year. I'll have the Xbox to myself but I don't really like the games he has, most are shoot 'em up games and the ones we play together, like Madden, etc. I'm looking for a game that's on that same lines as the old Zelda, Link, etc. Something where you have to find things and beat bosses. Do they still make these type of games? I haven't really looked at games since I had a PS2 so I'm not sure what's out there.

GO to the game place next to Best Buy and ask for Leisure Suit Larry 3D.

I think its EXACTLY what you are looking for.

Not the kinds of bosses I was thinking about. But thanks.

Got one. It's in the play room, I was looking for something I can play on the 360 on the big screen. I may end up just moving the Wii to the big screen and not messing with the Xbox. I love some Wii bowling.

If you like the old Zelda games you'd probably be interested in some of the RPGs that are out. On that note, Fable 2 is really good.

Also, even though you say you don't like "shoot 'em up" games, look into Fallout 3 (which is as much an action/adventure game as a FPS), Prince of Persia, Devil May Cry, or Assassin's Creed.


And, if all else fails, get Rock Band 2 and invite your friends over for a party. Always a hit.

Got Assasin's Creed for the DS, love it. I thought of Prince of Persia and it looks pretty awesome for the 360. I've gone through the Game Informer magazines, but wanted to get some input from people that have played the games.
