Not sure if it'll work for us Brits, but worth a look if you're in the market for one

HMV take them. That would mean finding £50 for the HDD and you could get a game from WHSmith for the £36 (+ a little extra).

In my opinion, the absolute musts are....

Gears of War
Oblivion
Dead Rising
Burnout: Revenge
Saint's Row

There's plenty of others I could recommend, but I reckon if you get those 5 they'll keep you busy for quite some time

Don't forget to buy Geometry Wars from the Arcade as well!

Would agree with Davey's recommendations though, maybe throw in Pro Evo 6 if you're a fan of footie games

Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden Black (there's enough difference to suggest getting both)
Sid Meier's Pirates
GTA Trilogy (assuming you haven't got them on the PS2)
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Jade Empire
Manhunt (disturbing and absolutely brutal, but I couldn't put it down till I finished it)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II (play them in order)

I've not played most of these over BC so I don't know if any of them run slowly or not (I do remember reports of NG, Fable and Star Wars all being a little slow), but they're the games I'd recommend the most.

Agreed on both counts. Geometry Wars is my most played game, and PES 6 is brilliant. Need to get you on my Xbox Friends list Rich
