Games for the days off

[Arkhangelsk]

So for around 11 days I have no school to speak of, most of I will be spending home. Having finished the last games I bought in unnecessary speed, I'm left bored again. Fling me recommendations on games I should buy. Any new good releases lately?

I like most genres, the ones I dislike greatly are RTS's and Western RPG's.

Consoles I have: 360, Wii, PSP, PS2, and a pretty good PC (succeeded in handling MW2 on High).

What consoles/handhelds/pc specs do you have?
What games do you already have?

 

[BlackJack47]

Mass Effect 2 apparently has good length, if not try some golden oldies.

Fixed that in the OP.

Tried the original Mass Effect, it did not please me.

If you have a PS2/Wii, I'd say Okami, since I am just now playing it and it's awesome.

That's too bad. Ironically, those are the genres that help you kill the most time.

Have you tried Borderlands? It's pretty long, has online co-op, and replay value. Just be prepared for repetitiveness.

Played it until level 30, then it got boring and empty and I legged it.

tropico3

it's not a rpg and it's not a RTS

 

[Discrodia]

Umm.... any FPS with online multiplayer?

MW2, RBSV2, Battlefield Bad Company, ect...

Other than that, not much comes to mind. Most of my favorite games are RPG's or RTS's (Except in the case of Dawn of War, which is basically both)

Good luck with your searching.

Edit: If you're willing to buy a new game, AvP has a pretty fun campaign and it's got addicting multiplayer, though there are still a few bugs and it's got a big learning curve.

Get Metroid Prime trilogy and feel every other game get a little worse by comparison.

Already played 1 and 3. That was a sudden jump from epic to bad.

3 was awesomegasmic, I am revoking your opinion license!

Okay, maybe it wasn't bad, but it doesn't compare the slightest to the shining big sister.

Shame FF XIII doesn't come out for another 2 weeks...

Uh...maybe replay/buy again FF X for your PS2 or something.
But for more recent games, try Batman: AA if you haven't done so.
Maybe Red Faction: Guerilla if you like blowing buildings up.

"Heavy Rain". Draw the curtains and settle down. You'll be there a while.

 

[Plurralbles]

I've gotten back into Devil may cry 3, my second run-through. It's SO much fun when he's fully upgraded.

I'd also suggest Okami.

It's a pretty long yet easy and fun game.

Crap. There goes...just about anything I could possibly have recommended. How do you feel about tycoon games and city builders?

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

Play some fighting games!

It won't keep you occupied all week, but should muse you for a day or so.

Either that, or read a book, (or a few if your a fast reader...).

...I just must say it, I love your avatar! Nothing's better than a raging Dr. Cox!

Fine, then how about:
Crackdown
Resident Evil 5
Wolfenstein
Dead Rising
