A succession of disappointing titles that offered little more than stop-start moments in the midst of the usual mechanics struck the first blow; the adoption of this method of 'choice' in titles as distinct as Mass Effect and Overlord seemed to set a standard that, for all its competence, never felt anything more than standard; the freedom that Elite had hinted could become videogames' future evolved into little more than binary variants and narrow narratives."

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.
although he over-talks about his games a tad,
you can't help but admire his passion :)
I wish this game gets it right ..not just for helping the 360..but for their big effort of bringing something different to the table.
Me 2, looks like it'll be so sweet. I've never played the first but from hearing every1 say it was disappointing and it stlil getting really high scores, can't help but look forward 2 this when it's supposed to do everything the first one promised but failed to deliver. In case you didn't realise, Edge is one of the worst magazines ever, it gives the most ridiculously low reviews for most games which are way out of line with any1 else
People still talk about flopple 2?
The 10 hour long RPG with technical issues?
The RPG with the 16 bit era storyline?
The game with the stale animations and fighting? Ho, ho, ho, even turnbased battles have more depth than flopple 2 fighting system.
