Just Cause series is the best in genre IMO.

It's really like you're playing one of those action Blockbusters like Die Hard or Bourne. JC2, 3, and 4 should all be available on Xbox. Maybe not 2 but I haven't checked for sure.

I remember getting endless hours of entertainment of driving the ramp trucks in reverse down the highways and watching cars fly off of them

I'd also stand by corners, shoot tires out of cars, and watch them flip over the side of the highway

If you do, definitely get The Sabetour. It has this cool mechanic where areas still under Nazi control are in black and white, then turn colorful when liberated.

The Saboteur looks great on PC and supports xbox controllers natively

I originally played it on ps3 but when I got it fir pc playing it on a 50" plasma 1080p 60fps is pretty bad ass

Atm, no. MS halted updates to the program a few months ago to focus on making sure current XBO available and supported games will run seamlessly on the XBSX.

If you like first person shooters, get Resistance: Fall of Man. The second isn't as good, I never played the 3rd one.

Watch Dogs 2
Mafia 3
Saints Row 2 and 3 (I liked 4 and Gat out of Hell but they were... a little out there)

Just Cause is a fun series but I definitely wouldn't compare it to the GTA series at all and it's actually pretty low quality :\

I was expecting more stuff like in True Crime: Streets of LA (only one I played), but it felt like a completely different game. Not in a bad way, just not what I was expecting.

About Just Cause? It's a fun game that strives to emulate big action movies with huge explosions and ridiculous stunts.

But driving has been the same since the original game and they keep changing the scope with each installment. The second game was probably the best balance of exploration, destruction and sense of progression. This latest game was enjoyable but they streamlined everything so much - unlocks are tied to doing side challenges, the side challenges take like ten seconds to do on average, so... not really exciting there, and the mission structure has been boiled down to "do a mission in an area - liberate the area, do a mission in another area - liberate that area". It's not really engaging compared to 2 or even 3.

I do really enjoy the games and have fun in them but they don't really compare to GTA at all, it's just a completely different type of game.

Driving in a Just Cause game is meaningless. Only time i did it(played 2 and 3) is when a mission required it/a trophy in 2.

It's been a long time, but I remember really enjoying The Godfather (PS2). Granted, mostly it was because I made the ugliest lowlife mafia thug in the content creator, and some of the funny lines enemies said when they SOCOM'd you coming 'round a corner, but still. It reminded me a bit of GTA3, just in a gangster area, so that was appealing.
