need some xbox reccomendations

My girlfriend is looking for games like Leisure Suit Larry and I am looking for games like Ico on the xbox. sweet. Just finished X-Men Legends and KOTOR and KOTOR was pretty good and I liked X-Men's battle engine but the story was weak. Thanks.

Yeah, your "girlfriend" is looking....



I'd recommend Fable, Jade Empire, KOTOR II, and an awesome game I just came across called Oddworld: Strangers Wrath.

If you liked X-Men try the Dungeons and Dragons game.

Yeah I had Dungeons and Dragons game for the Ps2 back when I had a Ps2 and I plan on getting Fable and Ninja Gaiden over the weekend. They are on sale for $12.99 each at Hastings.

Fable is good at 12.99. If you're into the RPG scene, then try Jade Empire, KOTOR II (not as good as the original but good just the same), and Gladius is a decent RPG as well. I've been curious about the Dungeons and Dragons game, and I may just pick it up now on your recommendation neimen. I'm over halfway done with both JE and KOTOR II, and picked Gladius up just off of the trailer that's on KOTOR for it. I'm not buying any new games until I complete all of the above though.

if you liked KOTOR...you will like KOTOR 2...I liked the sequel a little bit better.

Doom 3: LE is outstanding.

Doom 3 is ok....if you like good graphics, but close quarters and darkness and repetitive enemies. What was there like 7 different monsters...if that.

Already bought the LE of Doom 3 just so I could have the originals. End up buying the Urbz at Hastings yesterday for 7 dollars. Hastings used is awesome.

If you're interested in a fun to play and funny platformer I highly recommend Psychonauts. I've been playing it the last week or so and it's a great game. The humor isn't as mature as LSL, but it isn't just kiddy humor either. Although the screen shots and premise might suggest it's for kids, as an adult it didn't feel like a kiddy game. It has good gameplay and level design too.

I was thinking I would get Psychonauts when it goes cheap for it seems LucasArts games do that pretty fast (Mercernaries is already on ebay for $20).
