Hearts of Iron 3 is good little buggy still but new patch out soon should fix that and its really something you can get your teeth into... Imo best WW2 stratagy game out there be warned you will lose sleep over it tho its pretty hardcore haha.

For something a little more arcade like go for Citys XL its like the new sim city only 3 times as good.

First MMO to have full speach in every quest every thing in game thats impressive also means it be 20+ gig installl but I don't mind got 3 TB of space on my comp.

Out in 19 days 14 hours and 40 mins not like i am counting or nothing.

Woud be if it were in-game or even in-engine, but it's not.

Any good adventure games for the xbox? Only like them and platform ones.

Mass Effect 1 (and soon to be part 2) are possibly the best two games of the genre on both consoles. If sci-fi isn't your cup of tea, then Oblivion should be. Slow paced with tonnes of depth that will last months in doses. There's also Fable 2. In the next few months there will be Alan Wake which looks absolutely stunning. Sort of like a mystery detective tale, mixed with the X-Files, Resident Evil and Alone In The Dark.

Platform games, sadly are a dying breed unless you own a Wii. I can only think of one on the 360, and that's Banjo Kazooie. Was amazing on the N64 back in the day. Not so great on 360. Should be good simple fun, though.

The demo is out on the website should you wish to try it. I downloaded it a couple of days ago. A definite improvement. I was sceptical at first but having tried the demo, its a must buy.

Not many new turned based strategy games like Civilisation out at the moment apart from Hearts of Iron 3, which is fairly hardcore strategy.

Anno 1404/Dawn of Discovery (US title) is quite good: slow paced resource management.

Empire: Total War is very good if you have the hardware to manage it.

As for Ciggy, it depends on what type of adventure you're looking for. If you want an RPG, Fallout 3 is a good action RPG, but be prepared to put a minimum 30 hours into it to get any value from it and it will take 70-80 hours to complete.

Fable 2 is a nice, simplistic RPG/adventure.

There are loads of Japanese Final Fantasy type jrps on the X360.

Secret of Monkey Island:SE is on X360, as are Wallace & Gromit and Sam & Max: Season One, which are traditional point and click adventures.

As for Leisure Suit Larry, its been widely derided as the WORST game on X360, steer well clear.

Don't have to be Its a CGI trailer but tbh bioware story is awesomesause.I put it up to get people in the mood for how good the story is going to be as that is reason I play RPG/adventer games for the story not the geeky graphics(tho they are a plus).

Meh! Dungeons, dragons, spells, big swords etc etc. Dejaveux.

You are right about the story element, though. But imagine an RPG with those kind of visuals and with an amazing story. Mass Effect had that combination.
