About to have surgery, need a game that I can spend two weeks playing

On this Friday I have a surgery scheduled that will require me to spend the next two weeks at home recovering. I have an Xbox 360 but no live subscription (at this time). I'm not opposed to restarting live for the month if needed.

A few games i've played recently and enjoyed

Kingdom Hearts
COD (pretty much any of them)
Assassin's creed
Disney Infinity
Tiger Woods
Forza Motorsport

I don't care if it's an older game as I've played most of the big ones, an they're cheaper.


-Thanks

Titanfall maybe? That would require the Live subscription if you liked the COD games.

Re: About to have surgery, need a game that I can spend two weeks playing

I'm playing Dust An Elysian Tale (although on PC) and it's been a pretty fun Metroidvania style game that has far longer play time then I expected. Sadly you would have just missed it as the free Games with Gold option for the first half of May, but if you're in to those games that would be a nice cheap buy.

EDIT: And now that I think about it, you could sign up for live and get Saints Row the Third which would be the free game for the end of March, and at the start of June you would have Dark Souls.

I think it might help to know what games Audio has already played. This is the first post from this member in the video game forum that I can remember. The only one I'm pretty sure he or she hasn't played is Super Mario Bros.

Do you not own a platform that can run Surgeon Simulator?
