Are there any good games for the XBOX 360 matching this description?
A friend of mine is looking for games for the 360 matching this description:

"I actually like games where it's like a movie, and one person, and you look for clues to a puzzle in old houses and stuff...

kinda like MYST, but not Myst. I like ones where it's desolate and haunted like... and well rated.

I don't really want to get weapons that kill things along the way..."

That was my first thought as well.

Just make sure your friend isn't easily spooked as the game is quite creepy and has many jump out of your seat moments if you are playing alone, in the dark with surround sound.

Alone in the Dark used to be like this. All I know about the new one though is that you have to set everything on fire.

She'd like to avoid FPS games if possible.

The only game I can think of like that is Zack and Wiki for the Wii. Not 1st person, but the same type of clicking on things and solving puzzles as in Myst.

Yeah, the 360 isn't really home to these type of games. Has anyone tried the Interpol demo that hit XBLA this week? It might be akin...

But Bioshock is "like a movie" and "its one person"...

Zack and Wiki is a great choice. I would say Boom Blox as well in regards to puzzles.

Hahah, this thread is just chock full of fail, but it really isn't our fault. The 360 simply doesn't have games like The 7th Guest. Sadly, no one does anymore.

Did no one check out http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/ga...410977Interpol?

I haven't played it, but I think it qualifies... How about Syberia II for Xbox? It is backwards compatible.

That question is about as clear and succinct as most of the spam email I get.

Like when I was trying to show my sister Fallout 3 and I asked her which weapon I should use to kill the dogs.
