I'd reccomend Far Cry 3 and Tomb raider, those are both imo fucking epic single player games. But I'm more of a Cod zombie player so I usually stick with that. But whenever I'm bored I hop on one of those two games it's alot of fun.

 

You could also play one of the Harry Potter games. I would recommend the 6th one, that was the best, the seventh is a point and smash some buttons game, the a fifth has horrible controls, the fourth is altogether gay and makes no sense and 1-2-3 are designed for mentally retarded children.

 

There is also AC: Brotherhood and AC: Revelations in between 2 and 3. I can't attest to 3's quality, but Brotherhood and Revelations are both good games, if not as revolutionary as 2.

I disagree. The first one is ok, but number two hits it out of the park and you don't really need 1 to understand 2, from what I remember. But, do what you will, Semaj.

EDIT: Oh, I just remembered.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. So fun shooting lightning out of my hands and throwing my light saber at storm troopers.

 

Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2... Maybe Sleeping Dogs or Saints Row 3 if you want something GTA like.
I would also second Assassins Creed 2 plus the 2 addons. I dislike the third immensely because I realy can´t stand Connor.

The Warhammer games are for PC.. maybe the Space Marine one is also for XBOX.

 

There's also the Harry Potter Lego which was pretty fun to play. The first one, Years 1-4, was much better than the second one. Funny and light-hearted if that's you're thing.

 

Far Cry 3. A lot of fun which takes a long time to complete. It's not a perfect game but the gameplay is addictively well done. 91% at metacritics for the 360 version.

 

Nothing wrong with CoD or Angry Birds.

On topic: Red Dead Redemption and Skyrim are definitely the way to go. RDR for an amazing story and typically stellar Rockstar gameplay. Skyrim because it's absolutely massive and almost all of it is quality (although the main story sucks). Also, they both ought to be reasonably cheap having been out for a while.

 

Borderlands and Borderlands 2 are absolute musts. They're RPGs so you can sink a lot of time into them, they are FPS, you get access to a ridiculous amount of guns, the characters (Mostly Claptrap and Handsome Jack) are hilarious, and the worlds are massive.

Other than that, Skyrim, the Mass Effect series, both Dragon Age games, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 if you can pick up copies that are in good condition.

 

Sorry for not responding till now, just got off work.

These are all good suggestions. You guys definitely sold me on Red Dead Redemptions and Saints Row series. I'm gonna start with those.

 

The Witcher 2, and XCOM: Enemy Unkown.

Oh, and if you get bored just buy Ikaruga and don't buy or play anything else until you beat it.

 

Saints Row: The Third is fun. The changes you can make to facial geometry in the character creator kind of made me jealous, as as longtime Sims 2 player. The thing about SR3 is that it knows it's a video game and revels in that fact. It doesn't care how outlandish it gets, as long as it's fun.

Buy it at the right time, and you can get it dirt cheap, with all the DLC included.

I can't comment on Infinite, yet, but Bioshock 1 and 2 are both great. I'm one of the people that absolutely loved the sequel. They're both top notch examples of storytelling, if you take the time to find/grab all the audio journals.

Terraria is great fun and, as good as the game is already, it's going to be getting a massive update around late June/early July (or thereabouts). If you like the idea of a giant, monster and treasure-filled sandbox, in which to build a castle out of bricks, this game could do the trick.

Unfortunately, it was just on sale, and now it's back to being 9.99. Even so, if you can't squeeze 10 bucks worth of fun out of a game like Terraria, you might just be dead inside (or a teabagger).

Emulators for old game systems can be a nostalgic time killer.

Portal is great, and its sequel is even better (whether you like plot with your puzzles or not), but they are both pretty short. Even a schmuck like me can finish the original in a few hours. Still, it's a sweet few hours.

Borderlands is a great game and, for my money, Borderlands 2 is better by miles. Even if you're the type to plow through a game without stopping to smell the roses, it's going to take you a while to chew through everything... and there are the DLC campaigns, which are pretty cheap. The base games tend to go on sale on various sites, rather frequently, so it's not hard to grab them for a pittance.

The DLC 'Mechromancer' class is pretty cool.

 

Finished Red Dead Redemption- onto these now. Thanks guys. I'm getting more once I finish these.

 

Arkham City is also pretty good.

 

I heard that too. I was planning to do them in order.

 

Both Batmans are great. I strongly suggest the Mass Effect series. Fantstic stoty and gameplay. The Witcher 2, I haven't played it yet, but my broyher has, and with the exception of Saints Row he played all of the games mentioned here and The Witcher is his favorite.

 

Europa Universalis III. Grand strategy esque game.

 

I have a Chromebook unfortunately - I am unsure how I would use these games or if it is even possible. My sister has a really nice Mac, but is fiercely protective of it. PC games are a no-go - which is killer for me because there are so many good ones (and Steam obviously).

 

You can play Bastion on a Chromebook.
