I've got a bit of predicament on my hands. Since I started working, and now I'm getting some money in my pocket, I wanted to buy anothre 360 game so I could play in one of the new divisions, so here are my choices, plus a couple extra that I just really wanted to play, I'm only gonna pick one, maybe two if I make enough money to fund other things, such as a renewed subscription to live and some extra Microsoft points to get the GRAW pack.

Games list:

DOA4 = I've rented and played it before, I don't know about this one cause I've already played it a lot. I'd only be in it for the division, and I'm not very good at fighting games.

Chromehounds = A division I said I would be in from the start, but lacked necessary funds. I want to play this, but I'm not sure.

COD2 = I got to play it one day before the copy my friend let me have broke (he had two copies). I only finished Basic Training I think, and because the COD2 division just started I want to help out.

PGR3 = Not very serious thought on this considering I suck at racing games.

Dead Rising (upon release) = I want to kill zombies. Bad, I've been watching too many zombie movies lately, I want to kill the undead. I'll wait for this one, but yeah. The game looks awesome.

I would do dead rising.. because thats the game I want most.. (and looks the most entertaining currently)

However, if you're actively looking to help in a division and what not, that could weigh heavily on your decision... at that point I'd probably say chromehounds as in my opinion that game looks like it has a lot of room to develop and expand in the compeditive and recreational multiplayer sector. (more so than the other games anyway...)

well if you have a steady job, then you obviously would get more money before the release of dead rising, so waiting would be dumb.

i'd go with which ever you think you'll play the most.

chrome hounds is my choice, but thats me.

So far it worked for them

So the two games you're most seriously considering getting (that have a division) are Chromehounds and CoD2.

I've seen Chromehounds played a lot and it looks like fun, as long as you're into mech games.
CoD2 is fun, but since I only played the multiplayer before the major patches, I didn't have very much fun with it online. Supposedly it's a lot better now.

They're two completely different games, so I guess it would be best to try them both out to see how you like them.

If you're still debating about the other two, just remember that practice will make you better. The thing about those two games is that they have a pretty steep learning curve, so it will take a while to get really good at.

Dead Rising looks amazing, it gets my vote.

Well DOA4 has good graph and a looooooot of hooter bounceing, if ya know what i mean:rolleyes: BUT it is a really hard game

Chrome Hounds is fun but a bit slow and the graph is goooood and the online thing rocks, and the first atchivments are simple to get.

COD2 the atchivements you only get in the main quest and you get one when you beat the training which is 50 and 100 when you beat the game on anymode and you get 60 for each level you beat in VET mode and 200 points when you beat it in VET or HARD Mode. it is a good game online as well.

PGR3 i would not recomend that, its hard and boring to me, i like FullAuto, thats FUN!! the atchivements are hard to get in pgr3 and ya, in fullauto its a brand new game, the graph is GREAT and the handaling of the car is gooooood and the battle system is SUPERB!!!! if ya need anymore advice i have most of the gmaes for the 360.

I'd say CoD2, because of the online. Nearly as good as GRAW, if not equal.

This week's pay will probably be around $120, with a few extra bucks on the side. Then I only have two more weeks until school and my job goes away because my dad works 9 to 5. So that also gets rid of TR's suggestion about buying them all, because I won't make enough (or have reason enough to justify spending so much) to buy more than one or two. Dead Rising is going to be one, and Chromehounds will more than likely be my other choice. COD2 I have played, I liked it, but not where I'd buy it again, although now it's come down ten bucks in price cause it's a launch title.

By the way, the reason I'm being a bit of a miser when it comes to my money is cause this is supposed to last me for awhile, I don't want to spend it all at once, and I have other things I need to buy.

well, if you wanted to help out the chrome hounds division it is almost full, there are only 20 spots, so we might have to open another active div cause 17 are already in.

ChromeHounds looks pretty cool to me. It's RELLY PERTY :D. Yeah, I'd go wit that if I could only buy one (but I can't buy any because I have to buy a new mic, GRRR!)

I just saw a review for Chromehounds, it looks pretty frickin sweet. It was only rated a 7/10. I dunno, Game Informer isn't always reliable... But I did see that Prey got a 9.5! :)

Ah I'm torn between COD2 (a lot of my friends play it), Dead Rising (yes herb, zombie killing FTW), and Chromehounds (mechs rule).

I'm gonna get two I think, if I've got the funds. COD2 and Dead Rising when it comes out.

Yeah I'd have to agree. Unless you're really into mech games it would be risky to get chromehounds because I rented it thankfully and HATED it. It's really a love or hate game, maybe give it a rent. Everyone loves Cod2 though...

I would say PGR3, I've had lots of fun with that one, and you can probably pick it up cheap these days. But you should go with your gut feeling, it all depends on what kind of game you feel like - all I can say is that they are all good choices - except DOA4, which blows teh balls.
