Bully has bugs on the 360 version? 

I believe that they released a patch for fixing up the early issues. I didn't have any problems while I was playing.

Mirror's Edge - A big disapointment. It's the reason why I joined Goozex. Worth 100 points at most.

But at least it got you to join Goozex!

I should've phrased that differently.

It's the reason I started using Goozex. I had been signed up for a couple of months before I decided to rid myself of that $60 paperweight.

And the bag I got for preordering wasn't as cool as I expected either.

I went with Saints Row 2. That was pretty much the consensus from all the different feedback I've gotten.

Thanks everyone!!!

I really enjoyed Bully, The darkness I only played the demo, but it was pretty fun IMO, and Ive been thinking of getting GoW2.

Hey I have 650 points and 1 token also and was thinking about Saints Row 2.

I have GTA4 already though so i dunno if i should spend my points on SR2 now, or wait till i hit more points and get seomthing else when it comes out.

let me know what you think of saints row2 if it was worth the points!

I have 750 points and 1 trading token left, and am trying to make a decision between some Xbox 360 games. Please keep in mind I do not have Xbox Live Gold right now:

Ninja Blade

Spider-man: Web of Shadows

Bully: Scholorship Edition

Saints Row 2

Gears of War 2

Indigo Prophecy

Mirror's Edge

Need for Speed: Most Wanted

The Darkness

 

Ninja blade - I played the demo it was good but Ninja Gaiden 2 is way better

Spider man web of shadows - Has a great story line and 4 different endings. Also you could probably max out the achievements and get a full 1000 gamerscore

Bully: scholorship edition - never really care for it but thats up to you if you want it.

saints row 2 - kind of like GTA4 but with more customization.

Gears of war 2 - Great story campaign, plays better with a friend, horde mode is amazing, However if you do decide to get XBOX LIVE then be prepared for laggy multiplayer games

Indigo Prophecy - Never played it so i dont know about this one.

Mirror's edge - I played the demo it was amazing.

Need for speed most wanted - A pretty old game but still one of the best need for speeds out there (Need for speed Shift is amazing) however the point value for this game is low so you would have some extra points left over unitl you get more tokens.

the darkness - never played it.

so after all that i would recomend Mirror's edge, need for speed most wanted, or Gears 2

I've never played any of those except GOW2 and The Darkness.  I would go with GOW2.  I couldn't get into The Darkness for some reason at the time.  I kept it and might go back to it later, but GOW2 sucked me in from the beginning of the game and I kept playing it til the end.  Always a good sign of a good game for me.

I absolutely love "Saints Row 2".  It's a lot like "GTA4"; however, it doesn't take itself seriously, it's not nearly as gritty as "GTA4" (lots of humor), you can customize your character and your vehicles to freaking insane levels, vehicle inventory is much nicer (I'll explain later), there are lots of optional side quests, and it's just a fun game to play.

As for vehicle inventory, you can have as many cars and aircraft as you want and you can access all of them from any available location - your cribs or any car repair shop for cars, any helipad for helicopters, but aircraft are restricted to the airport.  After playing SR and SR2, I found it incredibly frustrating that in "GTA4" you could only keep at most two cars in front of each safehouse and once you lost the car it was gone.  Yes, that's more realistic, but after being spoiled in SR/SR2 I thought it was annoying.

Gears of War 2 is also fun but as others mentioned if you don't have a Live account, you'll find it someone restrictive.

Yeah the worst part of Saint's Row 2 is it makes GTAIV worse.  Everything I found annoying about GTAIV stands out even more after SR2 and seeing how much more fun cars/customization and rolling w/gangs is compared to bowling, watching the same 5 minute stand up, and answering the phone.

If only SR2 had better graphics, Voice ACting and music.
