XBox Live Adventure Game Downloads!
Back in December, around that time I like to call “Christmas”, I got an XBox 360. Just this week, I was finally able to get the dang thing on my wireless network (those XBox 360 wireless adapters are freakin’ expensive!) and I got to check out XBox Live and look at all the games I could download without having to get off of my butt to rent them!
What I found out is that there are quite a few adventure and other kick ass cool games that you can purchase via XBox Live and I thought I’d share the titles and the prices with you! So, here we go:
- Dreamfall: The Longest Journey - 1200 Microsoft Points: This game is one of the best adventure games I’ve played in a very long time. While I didn’t play it on the XBox 360, I did play the PC version of it and there are a lot of things to this game that are just awesome. In this game, you get to play three different characters who have very different roles in their worlds. If you haven’t played it, this is a definite must. Now, if they can only get The Longest Journey (the first game in this series) out on XBox live, I would be in heaven.
- Indigo Prophecy - 1200 Microsoft Points: This game was… different. A lot of fun, but very different. This isn’t your ordinary adventure game, either, as there are plenty of action sequences that you must complete before you can continue in the game. You get to play as four different characters to figure out why the main character, Lucas Kane, killed someone.
- Psychonauts - 1200 Microsoft Points: This game is by our friends over at Doublefine and it’s a wacky game featuring lots of different worlds that take place in the minds of Raz’s (the main character) friends. If you’re a schizophrenic, then this is totally the game for you. And only is it fun to play, there’s a lot of great humor involved. So, if you like to laugh, buy it!
- Fable - 1200 Microsoft Points: Now, this game isn’t really an adventure at all, unless you call wandering around the wilderness and random towns, choosing the path of good or evil an adventure. It might not be your typical adventure game, but there’s a lot of cool stuff you can do in this game. There are plenty of side quests to keep you busy, plenty of stuff to buy to make your dude look like a freak, or be a super pimp. I mean, what more would you want in a game?
- Sid Meier’s Pirates - 1200 Microsoft Points: This is another non-adventure game, but there are pirates. And I enjoy pirates. I tried to play this game on my laptop, but for some reason my laptop and Sid Meier’s Pirates didn’t want to work peacefully together for very long, causing the game to crash. But, what I did play of it - it seemed like it could be a ton of fun. I mean, there’s pirates!
- Gauntlet - 400 Microsoft Points: Okay, Gauntlet isn’t an adventure AT ALL. But it’s freaking fun to play. And it brings back a lot of memories of kicking ass with my brother from childhood. Ahhh, memories.
- Prince of Persia Classic - 800 Microsoft Points - Who doesn’t like to play a game where you kill people with swords?
So, there you have it. Games you can download off XBox Live that are awesome.
