Before the event was blacked out by an unfortunate power outage, canada.com got to sit down with Jeff Bell, Xbox's Corporate Vice President of Global Marketing, where they discussed exclusive titles, the Wii-60 phenomenon, and user generated content.
"In the case of EA, we just have an incredible partnership with them. Madden is not exclusive for us but they know where their bread is buttered. We will outsell the PS2 and PS3 version of Madden this Holiday Season combined."
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
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.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
"Lets be honest. There's only two major franchises that don't appear on our platform: Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid."
Well what does he consider Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Gran Turismo, Singstar, etc. Aren't those pretty big franchises that aren't on the 360?
This is a question not a comment.
Is an assclown. Go get schooled by Reggie Bush again at Madden.
He says that Wii owners are not new gamers and all of them are Nintendo fans. While it's partially true, there are a dozen of non-Nintendo fans that have bought Wii.
You would think MS would have some bombshell announcements or at the very least some new 1st party title announcements.. They were quiet at Leipzig and now X07 is sounding like a wimper. Maybe they are saving it for TGS? 08 is sounding rather lame at this point beyond the games that have been pushed back and Too Human.
Also, Jeff Bell is a marketing guy and a bit of an "assclown" as someone said earlier I wouldn't take too much of what he says seriously. It's funny now that the Wii has kicked the 360s ass in hardware sales they are bringing back their "Wii60" talk.. Too bad Nintendo has no love for MS..
I like him. He's quite open and bias; I like to see that for all personally.
