"While playing through the XBLA game 'Splosion Man recently, I couldn't help but really fall in love with the fiery fellow I was playing as. Why? It wasn't because he had an epic, heartwarming story behind him, nor was it the things that he did under the influence of my controller input (not to say that I didn't enjoy blowing up scientists and clearing the game's clever puzzles). No, I fell in love with him because of his body language. Specifically, his idle animations.
For those who have not played the game, you are thrown straight into the heart of the game without any backstory whatsoever to explain the subsequent events. At no point during the game is there any light shed on who 'Splosion Man is or what he is like through the favored method of modern game storytelling, the cut scene. Instead, Twisted Pixel decided to let their character's actions do the talking."

The Xbox One has been had a rough journey this generation. Mostly due to lack of exclusive titles but the system has mostly redeemed itself thanks to backward compatibility, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Play Anywhere. Microsoft has come a long way since the original Xbox and it wasn't luck, a lot of acclaimed titles helped bolster the system's reputation over the years. Here are the best Xbox exclusive games ever made.
I miss the days when they got games like this.. Whenever MS gets their head out of their a$$ ill buy their console again..
