ALSO NOTE: please, if you vote, throw in some game suggestions! .... and I realize that this would be a good time for me to remind you that I'm a girl.
And I fail at FPS very, VERY hard.
And I play mainly rpgs.
And I don't like turn based combat systems (which mean I would actually have to THINK while beating up the opponent wtf).
BUT if you know of an awesome fps, that HAS EVEN SOME KIND OF A STORYLINE, feel free to mention that too - the humiliating experience of getting constantly beaten up in fps games by guy friends drives me to learn how to play them some day :D
I prefer the 360's library of exclusive games over the PS3's. No, not because of games like
Halo Reach or
Gears of War, though they are both very good games in their own right. But because of games like
Alan Wake (Heavy on the story, very atmospheric),
Fable 3 (A straight-forwared RPG. My sister loves the Fable series),
Metro 2033 (A VERY story driven, atmospheric, horror FPS based on a book. I heavily recommend.),
Mass Effect (ME2 is on PS3, but some people prefer the first for heavier RPG elements.),
Left 4 Dead 2 (A team-focused zombie FPS. Also recommend) and
Crackdown (A chaotic sandbox game with supersoldier-esque cops.) to name a few. I haven't checked up on any upcoming exclusives for the 360, so pardon me if seems like there isn't much on my list.
Edit: I personally love the 360 controller. It just feel right to me. It may be because I got an original xbox with an S controller after so many years of playing on an N64. See, I've played on a PS3/PS2 and the controller just doesn't feel natural to me, I just find it odd. Idunno, maybe it's just me.
