"Which game?"

People I'm fed up with the current months releases I want something fun to play so I've got a few games to catch up on but which one should I start next?

Choices:

The Thing
Yager
Crimson Skies
Enclave
Blood Omen 2
Gun Valkyrie
Hitman: Contracts


Now without giving away things, like plot details, which one of these should I start next and why?

I've finished Fable once and am on my second time through, ifr you'd read the other threads with your eyes you would have clearly seen me mention this on several occasions.

and THUG + Fifa are shallow uninteresting games that would only be suited to online play.

all these are good but whats wrong with Fable, THUG2 and FIFA05?

Dug out Skies today. Only played it online so far, it's like the game I wanted Mech Assault to be (ie it's by FASA and it's not s***).

Oh yeah I beat that bridge just after maknig my earlier post. Loaded up the game again and it suddenly let me do the jump properly. :S

Hitman.

hitman as its a good third person action/shooter that makes you use your brain aswell as fingers.

Did another level of Enclave and yes the difficulty does suddenly jump up DAMN DIRTY APES!! :D

Short levels so far so replaying levels isn't too tiresome. Still infinitely better than The Two Towers.

Also started Bloood Omen 2 which is blatantly a playstation game in it's style, puzzles and approach. Blood Rayne this is not as it's much slower and far more linear (sp?) so far it's good fun leveling up and using the powers I've gained, but if I'd paid more than 8 quid for it I'd have been dissapointed.

Maybe it gets better as it progresses.

EDIT: Just beat the first 'boss' and have to jump across a bridge using my new super jump power thingy. However the bridge is slightly to short for me to jump across with the power. Can't seem to find another way around. Poor game design or am I missing something?

Ended up starting on Hitman but got somesort of load proble m going into level 3 so decided to come back to it.

Went on Enclave after that, only done the first 2 levels but so far it's turning out to be what I was hoping Two Towers would be ie not guff.

Really enjoying it so far. :)

Crimson Skies is par excelllence. One of my favourite Xbox games. Not much replay value in single player, but it is fun whilst it lasts. And multi player is great fun. Quite a bit of content to download as well.

And Nathan Zachary appears to be based on me. True story.

Hitman Contracts, though the game kind of looses its way halfway as the remake levels are pretty dull.

I've always wanted to get Crimson Skies but have never got around to it though, so that might be worth checking out.
