What are your favorite games for the Xbox 360?

#1 Posted by Savv (75 posts) - 1 year, 11 months ago

I'm about to take the plunge and pick up a 360 and I got to thinking... I'll probably pick up Black Ops and Reach, Gears of War when it comes out and perhaps L.A. Noire, but those are all pretty new and I haven't played many 360 games other than a whole lot of Halo 3. So what have I missed on this console? What are your favorite games since launch?

Alan Wake and Splinter Cell: Conviction are great games, as well as all the ones mentioned above.

Bayonetta is awesome. I recommend dipping into the backlog before going for all that new stuff, especially considering those games are mostly iterative anyway.

I really need to play Alan Wake. I feel like I've been missing something. And that game might fulfill my mood of a moody game genre of wanting to play. Alan Wake.

Deadly Premonition

Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and bolts is really good.

Deadly Premonition has to be the only game i've played this gen that I just couldn't put down, also happy about all the Cave & Treasure ports.

Ninja Gaiden 2 was another fave.

Deadly Premonition is a unique experience for sure. I mean, most exclusives have already been said. It all depends if you were playing a ps3 or wii or were still on the older gen.

I don't think a 360 is worthwhile any more if you have a PS3, as most multiplats are better or equal on PS3 nowadays and it doesn't get a whole lot of exclusive love besides Halo, Gears and Forza.

Either way, my favorite games for it are Shadow Complex, Halo 3, Gears of War 1 and Saint's Row.
