I already played through Devil May Cry 4 on Human, now on Demonhunter which is pretty cool. I love that fast paced game with all the combos you can do.
Do you have any games you recommend? I prefer Action in third person on consoles just like Devil May Cry 4 :p Also I like racing... Burnout Paraside seems to be good, any information you can give about it? How does it feel etc..
Please help me finding good games...
I'm also planning on getting Naruto: Rise of a Ninja (just watch my username haha) and register to Xbox live today... (credit card ffs-_-...)
I'm not a huge fan of first person shooters.. I'd prefer hack and slash / action like DMC 4 .. like I already stated.. its so cool to see third person fights etc.. :/
you might like Gears of War even tho it's a shooter; it's got some of the hack & slash thanks to the chainsaw on your main gun, plus it's third person. But I wouldn't recommend it very highly if you don't have someone to play coop with since playing it alone is nowhere near as much fun.
Assassins Creed? Ive never actually played Assassins Creed, but its more of an action game I think - And i heard its a good expereince. I think its deffinatley a rental though, i hear its pretty short and replayabilty isnt that good.
360 + dislike shooter = wha??? (j/k)
I dunno how you feel about RPGs but Mass Effect is pretty great, and its played in 3rd person.. Its only on the 360, and is really one of those games that people buy the system just to play, you should at least try it
I know you said you didnt like FPShooters but Bioshock is just gorgeous and highly recomended. One of the best games on thesystem easy. Also for FPS Orange Box is a great value you get 5 games included for one price and the Half Life saga is a pretty exciting story.
Thanks everyone for your help and effort to post movies and give short descriptions of the games.
Here's my thoughts on what you posted:
Gears Of War
To be honest this is one of the games I'll at least try. I thought it was awesome when I first saw it.. I don't have Xbox live now so coop (split screen?) will be a pain in the ass.. so I guess its still fun to play it alone. Or I will try it Coop with a second person!
Assassins Creed
There was a big hype about that game. It has awesome graphics and cinematics but unfortunately you do the same over and over again which is not bad, but boring. I'm not sure if I will buy it, considering its about 80-90$ here..
Side note: I don't dislike shooter, I just don't think playing a shooter with a controller is that much fun... I'm used to my mouse / keyboard. T-T!
Mass Effect
I've no clue 'bout that one.. I'll gather information and make my choice.
Bioshock
Yay! Really nice game, but I already own it for PC.. no need to play that game again..

burnout paradise is a really good, keeps you entertained for a long time. fun to drive around and crash, or do stunts etc. though crashing takes awhile to go i wish it could be sped up x.x
assassins creed is fun, but its replayability kinda dwindles after awhile
i thought gears of war was a terrible game ><
halo is ok if you like shooters/are a fan of halo series.
idk any others you might be interested in, i dont even have a xbox lol ;o
If you like sandbox games and can find it somewhere cheap, then pick up Crackdown. Otherwise you should wait for GTA IV to come out.
Other 3rd person action games I could think of are, as the others already mentioned, Assassin's Creed (which I loved for its beautiful graphics), Mass Effect (if you like the story heavy games with tons of dialogue and decent shooter passages), Gears (a must play title imo), Lost Planet (if you like fighting insect monsters) and Overlord (never played that one though).
And because you said you liked hack and slash games, maybe you should check out Dead Rising; premise = mall full of zombies; you have to survive for a couple of days and almost everything inside the mall can be used as a weapon :D
Should none of those interest you, wait the two months until Ninja Gaiden II comes out and pick that one up.
If you buy the Naruto game (which is great except for the sucky platforming), be sure to download the japanese language pack!
Ninja Gaiden ll is too hard I guess.. 4 difficulties..
1) VERY HARD to beat 2) for users who completed Ninja Gaiden (omfg ultra hard to beat game) 3) extreme hardcore players 4) monster mega hardcore mode, nearly impossible to beat, will drive you crazy-,-
sucky platforming? :x Why? I'll get the Japanese language pack.. sounds so much better!
this is a list of games I'd try out if I had a xbox:
Action-Adventure: Kameo: Elements of Power, Fable, Soul Reaver games, Assassin's Creed RPG: Knights of the old Republic, Eternal Sonata, Jade Empire Shooter: Gears of War Party: Castlecrashers (xbox arcade, not out yet), Marvel Ultimate Alliance (multiplayer), Rock Band Racing: Project Gotham Racing

LOL thats like the exact opiosite of what i would say burnout sucks dick and is an open world game, e.g. like gran theft auto but alot more broken Assassins creed was one of the best games ive played and never got old AND HALO SUCKS DICK
If 2D action counts as 3rd person, there are some good games on Live Arcade. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night obviously, plus some decent 2D ship shooters like Triggerheart Exelica (old arcade/DC port), Omega Five, and the much-tauted Ikaruga (out tomorrow).
If you haven't played them, you might as well check the original Xbox compatibility lists. Prince of Persia trilogy etc. was on the original Xbox and probably can be played on the 360.
But as far as 3rd person action goes, DMC4 is probably the best you're going to get, so you're just going downhill from there until something good gets released.

there's an option for that in the main menu to just turn it off... at least on the PS versions.

There are certain jump n run parts in the game that totally pissed me off because controlling Naruto was just sooo unprecise. He kept slipping and falling off... It's no game breaker though, the game is still tons of fun, especiall when you're a fan of the Naruto series :p Which you are, judging from your nickname.

GTFO. Mass Effect suffered from poor side quests. The main story and background information was fantastic. Ignore this non believer.
Burnout Paradise was quite fun. I rented it for two weeks and it had pretty solid single and multiplayer.
Gears of War, Orange Box, and CoD4 are all great games as well. Halo 3 has gotten a bit old for me, but it still has good multi. I haven't tried Rainbow Six Vegas 2, but the first one was pretty decent. Bioshock is a good rental, as you can cruise through the single player in a few days.
Crackdown and Saints Row are both excellent "sandbox" (like GTA) games, and both should be pretty cheap at this point. Stranglehold is fun (another rental probably), and Dead Rising is overall a good game, although I got frustrated with it at a few points.
Edit: Oh and Xbox Live Arcade has some great stuff too - Ikaruga, Rez, Castlevania SOtN, Bomberman, and Geometry Wars to name a few.

FAQs helped me a lot. I enjoyed the game a lot more once I was up in the level 30's and knew where all the stuff was in the mall.

Increased durability for chainsaws is a lifesaver :D *zing*
If youre into shooters, I highly recommend two games to play with a friend:
Gears of War - fantastic game, good progression, great interface and controls. I havent tried single-player, but the campaign in co-op is so fun. If you dont have XBL, just grab another controller and a friend to play with.
Army of Two - after my friend and I played GoW, we wanted to play another co-op shooter. Ao2 was exactly what we wanted. It focuses more on co-op play, and allows you a little more strategy in your tactics. It also has a weapons shop and allows some weapons customization, so that was cool too.
edit: You dont have to buy all these games; some of these you can just rent.

No.
Do not get ES4 for the 360, because when you find out about mods, you'll wish you'd got it for the PC.
Grats on getting Forza, I was addicted to that game all summer break.
If you haven't played the original Ninja Gaiden (it sounds like you have), I suggest getting that. Otherwise, I don't have much to contribute that hasn't been said already, except to encourage you even more to get Bioshock. I share your dislike for FPSes, but I loved BS.
EPT
! I think next month money will be rare.. cause I will buy looooots of games.
