Gotta be TimeShift. I haven't seen 1 good review of this game and I thought
it was a blast. I hope they make a sequel with even more wicked
time-puzzles.

My wife and I enjoy the XBLA game, Boogie Bunnies.

I've always enjoyed Koei's 'Warriors' franchise (Dynasty Warriors, Samurai
Warriors, etc.) Unfortunately, these games never seem to drop in price,
and the used copies are almost as expensive as the new ones.

Dynasty Warriors Empires is under $30 now for the 360.

Frontlines is absolutely spectacular, It's not getting much buzz because
it's not a marquee title. But its every bit as good as COD4 and HALO3 in
single player. I actually enjoyed the single player more than Halo3's
and COD4 single player.

I saw this used at a GameCrazy for something like 11.99 used.
Is it any good?

it caught a lot of flak for its framerate, but the game is totally playable.
not butter smooth, but the dips aren't enough to cause any problems. that
said, it's a great ride. totally worth a rent or $12.
 >> Stay informed about: unpopular 360 games you loved 

I agree. Frontlines is a must own if you like BF type games.

Quake IV is certainly worth a rental.

I still like Perfect Dark. Not sure what happened with that
game--great reviews then within 6 months everyone says it's garbage.

I loved Overlord. Don't know if it was popular or not.

Bleah. The 'Empires' games are just badly watered down versions. The
last Empires title I played, the interface for handling your officers was
so horrible, I ended up accidentally dismissing my entire army and STILL
conquered all of China with some no-name lieutenant. The AI was lifted
straight out of Dynasty Warriors, which was a problem because the battles
in Empires worked a bit differently. As a result, the enemy would only
try to make a beeline for your head general - only to be slaughtered en
masse due to their army's overall low morale.

Meanwhile, even if the numbers were stacked in the AI's favor 10 to 1, I
could still pull off a stunning victory simply by taking all the bases to
tip morale in my favor (meaning my attacks would do more damage) and then
simply ambushing the simple minded enemy officers as they would make their
suicidal bee-line attacks towards my main camp. The idiots wouldn't even
stop to fight me as I ran behind them, pounding them into the ground like
an errant railroad spike.

Diplomacy was also a joke. It was very easy to simply sign a treaty with
all the other kingdoms while you pounded the other one into submission. The
AI never questioned my divide & conquer technique, and never got mad at
me, no matter what. Also, for some reason, you could not break a treaty -
even when the game was down to just you and 1 other opponent. I had to
wait through 10 turns of doing nothing while I waited for my last treaty
to expire so I could finally crush the remaining AI...with my no-name
lieutenant I named Doofus in honor of my activities from early in the game.

Long live Emperor Doofus! Long live the Doofus Dynasty!

Maybe the game would be better against another human, but being the PS2
version, there wasn't an online feature at all.

no problem. I actually had to pick another xbox 360 game to trade with
BioShock the other day to get an additional $10 credit. it came down to
Halo 3 or Quake IV. I still have Quake IV.
