The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
All the best RPG's are hitting the Xbox 360 infact there are loads of RPG's on the 360 and even more on the way like Too Human and Last Remnant can't wait!
I am rather happy with the RPG choices I am getting too. From Scifi games like Fall out and Mass effect to the more traditional WRPGs and JRPGs.
I really did like Fable 1. Maybe because I wasnt hyped for it. I did think it was a bit short, I dont really think this game will be any longer but the co-op should give some replay value. I expect to like this game but I am keeping my expectations at the Fable one level.
has really flipped the script on what type of games they want coming to thier platform
Look at the Wii it has some shooters, PS3 has a few shooters I mean this gen they are pushing Resistance, Killzone and MGS as their top games and they are all shooters!
On the 360 however Too Human, Fable 2, Gears Of War 2, Banjo and Kazooei and Ninja Gaiden 2 are all varied top titles coming to the 360 ONLY.
A huge selection of games, a great online network thats well built and overall a great experience only on the 360.
"Promises, expectations and more promises. There's a lot riding on Fable 2, and anything less that an RPG revolution will be met with huge disappointment."
Thats a bit unfair I think. The game is what it is. Now, Molyneux should probably know better by now than to over-promise things, he does deliver excellent games, and he has every right to be proud of his work, but this "it has to be the best game in history or it underdelivered" idea is totally unfair.
Fable 2, when shipped, will be as good or bad as it is. That's it. Expecting it to live up to every persons' fictional set of made-up expectations is just silly.
Personally, I look forward to it. If its half as good as Fable, I'll be putting my $60 down and enjoying the ride.
