You’re not meant to, but as a games journalist, it’s easy to have a few preconceived notions as to which games will be in the running for the GOTY award even at the start of the year. You can try to be objective, to give every game the same mental blank state when you start it, but knowledge of a developer’s past, a series’ scores and a title’s ambition will draw you towards certain games.
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.

Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
The greatest game!!!
the best game od the decade
I wonder how awesome the next one will be on the PS4.
This game truly deserves all the AotY awards it's been getting. This really makes me even more stoked for ND's next project aside from Uncharted 4!
great game, but really no replay value
