My Top 10 Xbox 360 Games

With the console generation winding down it's time to look at some of my favorite games this past console generation. I'm including games that were ideal on 360 (or played the majority of) and not necessarily limiting myself to console exclusives. I'm also trying to avoid sequels and only putting the top game of a particular franchise.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Xbox 360. It started so strong yet it fizzled closer to the end. It has the highest rate of defective consoles I ever purchased (curse you red ring of death) yet when it worked it was brilliant. Xbox 360, you turned me around on whether or not Microsoft could make a serious competitor in the video game industry.

List items

  • No surprises here, this game was the reason I bought an Xbox 360. While not perfect, Dead Rising is probably still my favorite zombie game. The openess of the world, combined with crazy characters, an insane scenario and weird controls

  • Oblivion was a good game but Fallout 3 blew me away. Learning from the mistakes of Oblivion, Fallout was a bit more tightly scripted and had a much better leveling system.

  • Probably my favorite game in the Mass Effect trilogy, Mass Effect 2's unique import of save data from the first game really made it as my actions were shaping the universe for ways that would pay off in the 3rd game.

  • Living in the Gears of War universe is a tough existence. The entire planet is at war and

  • After 'Finishing the Fight" I was burnt out on Halo. ODST was a good side game but Reach really blew me away. Addressing my complaints with Halo 3, Reach was Bungie combining the very best of their Halo knowledge and delivering a game that really lived up to the Halo hype. It helped that they didn't try to

  • Zombie survival

  • Go dance with the angels. Coming off of Ace Combat 5 the game had a lot to live up to. The narrative wasn't as strong as AC5, the large scale battles more than made up for it. Returning to liberate your hometown near the end of the game is its greatest moment with its slow buildup as you approach and the music builds before the operation fully commences.
