The 7 best Xbox 360 exclusives of 2011

These are the Xbox 360 console exclusives we're particularly looking out for in 2011.

[PirateThom]

Child of Eden is also on PS3, so that's it down to 6. XCOM is on PC, so that's 5.

Gears of War, Forza, unconfirmed for 2011 Kingdoms and Kinect.

Same as the rest of these lists.

[Strange_Evil]

I don't even think XCOM deservers to be mentioned in the list of AAA games. The game looks bland TBH. The graphics look outdated and the enemy.. Well it's Black Goo...

Just watch the gameplay video.. The game looks like a PS2 game TBH.

The only exclusive I am buying on my 360 is Gears 3... Rest a few multi-plats (maybe Crysis and Rage)... Everything else is on the PS3 for me.

[Dark_Charizard]

Xbox 360 -
1. Gears of War III
2. Star Wars Kinect
3. XCom
4. Kingdoms
5. Codename D

But on PS3 I'm looking forward to more than DOUBLE the games.

PS3 -
1. Killzone 3
2. Resistance 3
3. The Last Guardian
4. Motorstorm Apocalypse
5. Infamous 2
6. LittleBigPlanet 2
7. Twisted Metal
8. Yakuza 4
9. MLB 11: The Show
10.Agent
11.Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

OMFG can we stop this retarded concept of something being exclusive actually mattering?

ITS ONLY MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does it matter if the media is on 5,000 platforms if it's enjoyable it's enjoyably. Why is a console game also being available on the PC make it somehow inferior?

There's a bigger list of PS3 exclusives congratulations whop de fucking do, are you happy your party of an exclusive club that can only enjoy X media why others cant? does it make you feel good inside knowing you can play x game why others can't?

If any of the above applies to yourself I request you do the world a favor and find the nearest bridge or building top.

This is an article about 360 exclusives, why the fuck are you even listing PS3 games in here anyway dumbfucks.

@AGhostFromThePast

You left XCOM of your list, O wait it's on the PC so it's not exclusive, So is Agent you dumbfuck yet you listed that as a PS3 exclusive double standards anyone?

Love how you got loads of agrees shows the mentality of N4G perfectly.

[Dark_Charizard]

Agent is on PC you say... source? link?

[Blacktric]

He confused it with The Agency I guess. I agree with him in some parts though. People seem to act very harsh on 360's 2011 lineup. I admit even I was pissed at what Xbox Manager said yesterday (2011 being all about Kinect), but still there are great games coming and exclusive lineup in 2011 shouldn't matter THAT much if you love the console or a feature of it (controller, Live service, old exclusive games you've yet to play, etc.). Just have some damn fun instead of trying to show off how many exclusives your console of choice gonna get in next year, or how your online service has a feature that other one doesn't. We are gamers, not businessmen who's got a share of stocks from Sony or Microsoft.

[rockleex]

@Rush:

Calm down. No need to be in a rush man. I'm sure Microsoft lied when they said its all about Kinect in 2011.

Don't worry! They'll show off all the hidden exclusives at E3 like always! :D

Just like, this year... oh wait. No, maybe it was last year. Hmm...

[ilikestuff]

they have 7? wow did they just announce 6? im kidding, id like to play some gears of war and what not

[doa766]

one thing is when they argue incorrectly that 360/PC games like XCOM are not multiplatform games even when they can be played on two platforms

but Child of Eden will be released on PS3, here's the IGN'preview: http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

these 360 damage control articles are really getting deperate and embarrising

[jjohan35]

I own a 360 along with my PS3 and Wii, but there are only two games on this list (Forza 4 and Gears 3) that I actually want. Even then I'm getting tired of Forza's rehash again and again. I hope it offers more realistic driving. After racing on GT5 with my wheel, Forza 3 seems a bit arcade-y.

[jdrman2007]

That's some nice trolling there. It's rare to actually see some decent trolling on N4G.

[EVILDEAD360]

LMAO @ this being a fun 2011..Prediction

The usual sites repeating the same article and the usual suspects repeating the same thing over and over...it's ONLY December..wait till next year and I'll say 30 articles by E3..

Then E3 will roll around and it'll all be forgotten. None of the fan blogger sites will remember bashing the 360 and none of the usual suspects will remember whining (with a capital 'T') about a console they don't own.

At the end of the day, E3 is all that matters

The PS3 line-up definately looks good, but the biggest games for the system come out post-E3.

Uncharted 3 and (crosses all fingers) Last Guardian won't be till next holiday.

Even games like Resistance 3 won't arrive till the fall.

We saw what the 360 pulled off post June 2010, it's clear WHEN announcements matter and it's clearer WHO wants to perpetrate that there is NOTHING to play on the 360 until then.

Alan Wake and Gran Turismo 5 are examples of games that were on lists for so long, that when they released it was almost anti-climatic.

As a multi-console gamer

Xbox Live & Achievements are why I will always buy Multi-plats for the 360 (although I'm really tempted to buy a PS3 Dead Space for Extraction)

My PS3 Slim are for PS3 exclusives and NONE are more anticipated for me than the SOTC HD remake. (heaven)

But these internet haters are on crack if they believe Gears 3 isn't a monster exclusive in ANY year..

Forza 3 is STILL amazing post-GT5 (which I plan on spending a few marathon sessions on this holiday)

With that said, Forza 4 might be the game that pushes the series into new heights.

I own and love Kinect..

I can't wait to play Child of Eden. It was never an exclusive, but I have wanted this game since the day Ubisoft showed it on stage at E3 playing with Kinect.

Speaking of Kinect..the verdict is out..but as a fan of the original 100-button Steel Batallion and Panzer Dragoon..

Steel Batallion and Project Draco are at the top of my Kinect list

I also love the fact that the Japanese are going to delve into Survival horror for Kinect as well.

All the console silliness will continue on this site from the same crew..but as a gamer.I can't wait for the stellar multi-plats dropping

Elder Scrolls V
Mass Effect 3
Deus Ex
Ghost Recon
Batman: Arkham City

etc etc..

Wow it's great to be a gamer..

Merry X-mas to the gamers who stay above the silliness day in and out and actually support gaming year in and out

Evil

[Bluemaster77]

Real ish dude thats exactley how I feel. Majority of the peoples minds are warped on this site full of sony propaganda and I always sit and think for what why are they so avid about hating microsoft it just never clicks

[insomnium2]

@bluemaster

I guess you were not here 5 years ago to see where this BS consolewars started.

[NYC_Gamer]

they might as well just say kinect exclusives

[SnakeMustDie]

Stop it with the Top 10 lists already. How many are we going to see something similar everyday?

[MGRogue2017]

@ Xbox360Fighter

Fasten your helmet dude.. twist then pull... a little tighter, okay your good to go, don't forget your damn shield like you did last time & remember to take cover, you are not rambo!

@ PS3Fighter

Dude, your armor will fall off out there you moron!! wtf you thinking? Fasten the strap, ffs, Also remember to fasten your boot laces this time.. double crossed..

@ All Fighters

*holds arms out*

Let the battle commence !! :O

[insomnium2]

That is so yawn I can't believe you just said that.

[Urrakia34]

The 7 best 360 exclusives of 2011 or the ONLY 360 exclusives of 2011?

[OllieBoy]

lol

And they could only come up with 5, since two of those aren't exclusives.

[RankFTW]

Erm Gears 3 is the only game I'm getting on 360 in 2011 by the look of it.

[disparage]

Same here. Which is sad...I wish it hadn't gotten pushed back.

[hamburger123]

So many good games!

Not

[Serinous]

all pretty much useless other than Gears 3

[Snatcher]

Since when was Forza Motorsport series useless? It's one of the biggest Xbox franchises... along with Halo and Gears of War.

[TroyAndAbed]

Since Gran Turismo 5 came out...

[Xusuyzus]

TroyAndAbed

bro true ,.. but you made me laugh so hard,..
Forza is a really great game,.. but seriously it is not on the same level as GT5,..

[Serinous]

chill dude. i dont even like driving simulation games. it was my own opinion.

[Snatcher]

You know, something is wrong with that statement.

They are both great franchises. Gran Turismo 5 will sell more(or already has sold more), but Forza 3 got better scores, and was much better accepted by the press.

[acedoh]

Just because Forza 3 got better reviews does not make it a better game. Who am I going to trust more? People in the actual racing community who are die hard enthusiasts and actual racers or someone who sits in a cubicle and generally has a lack of knowledge when it comes to cars???

[Snatcher]

Where in my comment did I say Forza 3 was better???

''They are both great franchises''.

Perhaps next time, read my comment better. I sad they were equally good.

[acedoh]

I was referring to reviewers and not you... You said Forza 3 got better scores which is true but does not make it a better game.

[OllieBoy]

They padded the list and it's still awful.

The media needs to grows some balls and call MS out on this already.

[TroyAndAbed]

Did CVG just give us PS3 sales data for 2011?

[Thecraft1989]

Is it me or dose the list get smaller each time it posted on here. Also 1 of them is on ps3 and 1 them is ps3 one of them is on PC and the others are not even confirmed for 2011 that leaves gears.

despair no date for kingdoms and with M$ wanting to go back PC gaming I would not be very surprised if ends on 360/PC

[despair]

Gears 3 is the only exclusive of interest for me on X360 next year. If forza 4 is coming that might interest me also...might. Didn't Kingdoms get announced for 2012? any way I'm sure a few kinect games will be good, but majority crap and a few announcements are yet to come but not much exclusive for X360 next year which is disappointing.

[OdinFallen]

Everyone in here is pathetic. The PS3 Trolls, the 360 Fanboys, everyone. I remember only a few years ago when articles like these brought comments of excitement as people looked forward to the games. Now it's people trying to trash a console because they have some idiotic sense of duty to defend the console they use because they've convinced themselves that in the end, defending the console someone means something. Play games, have fun, chill the fuck out.

[bunfighterii]

It hard to be excited as a gamer when there's only 2 games to be excited about...

[Stealth20k]

yakuza 4, disgaea 4, ar tonelico III, trinity zoll, the another world, Tales of X, agarest 2, atelier totori, media visions project, are more ps3 exclusives no one mentions but I want

[kreate]

this only shows how desperate the xbox gamers are.

"xbox only has 2 games in 2011"

comes from the lack of higher profile games on the 360.
there are 2 games for xbox and the rest is just "meh"

but.. im sure xbox might get something in 2012.
maybe another halo and fable. another price increase ($70) to play games online. another online service for gold members. possibly another price drop due to lower sales. some timed exclusive DLC. and more kinect commercials.

with microsoft continuously shrinking their first party studios. im not sure what xbox gamers are expecting from microsoft.

[Masterchef2007]

Everything went into Kinect people just have to accept that. If you want to play exclusive 360 games most of them will be Kinect ones. If it wasnt for Multiplats the 360 would be extremely dry next year for core gamers. However the casuals are going to have a blast with Kinect. Just face it Microsoft wants to tap into the Wiis market so they are dedicating their resources to casuals. They dont care about the core gamers as long as the casuals make them a ton of money

[jalen247]

I could not have said it better

[Masterchef2007]

What a bad list. Some titles are unconfirmed 2011 releases while others are multiplat games. What is confirmed for sure is Forza 4 Gears of War 3. The rest are a bit sketchy

[bunfighterii]

Really crappy list. I don't have or want kinect. Only shining light is gears 3 which will be totally awesome! But seriously the 360 will fast become irrelevant if they don't announce a few decent, core exclusives that doesn't require me to spend $200 on a new peripheral.

360 has become what ps3 was at launch. AAA exclusives are like 2 a year. It's sad, 360 was so good.

[WCC5723]

Gears of War 3 I can't wait

[Platinum_k]

WASN'T THERE ONLY 7 EXCLUSIVES FOR 360 THIS YEAR of 2010!???...

[level 360]

Gears of War3 and Forza4 only games I'd buy.. and still have to know which "other" steering wheels will Turn10 be supporting ( they really need to do something about this issue, it's really frustrating ), 'cause GT5 have tons to choose from at all price points ( Logitech G25/27, Force GT, entry level Fanatec 911, new Thrustmasters T500 )

[ian72]

I would only buy those 2 games also. Nothing else interests me on the 360. On PS3 though there are more than 10 (Exclusives)games I am wanting to get next year. I have been going to buy a 360 one day but I don't think I will now, its just not worth it just for a few games I can't get for my PS3 or PC.

[Threesix]

Weak overall list. It truly is the year of the multiplat game for me.

[Ashby_JC]

Ill comment...

...IS it me or did we have the same exact thing happen in December 2009???

Articles listing the exclusives for both systems. Of course the PS3 list was alot longer. BUt guess what happened.

ALOT of those games did not release in 2010 and the 360 had games that were announced later come out.

People on this site fail to realize that the millions of 360 owners do buy more games then exclusives. As do PS3 owners.

If not ONE exclusive comes out for the 360. There are still going to be games released on the system. There is also live arcade games that release and there are solid ones that come out every yeer (Shadow Complex, Trials HD etc)

Me writing wont stop any of this but at least some may read and look at it in a different light.

[Just_The_Truth]

FActs: Xbox never had that many exclusives to begin with they've mostly realied on 3rd parties and that ok if it's what owners want but to try and compare ps3 exclusives to xbox is just dumb i mean xbox fans talk all about sales(which sells are good) but says nothing about quality I hate the flip-flop of fanboys they try to down play others then when their in that same situation it suddenly ok stop being sheep and learn to think, stick by what's important to you and grow up i just feel bad for the people that don't want gears or forza what then i guess we'll see

[Goeres]

First time i've heard about a top "7!" list.

Not enough games to make it to ten? LOL

[Gamer112]

But those 7 exclusives will sell more than the ps3 ones :)

[oguzsasi]

Gears of War 3: Fine.
Forza 4: Fine.
Xcom: Its on Pc. 2 platforms = Multiplatform. Not exc.
Child of Eden: Kinect game = lol
Project draco: Kinect game = lol
Codename Kingdoms: TBA means To be Anounced! Not means 2011! lol
Codename D: Kinect game = lol

Confirmed!
Microsoft is the new Nintendo

[skottey]

it had already mentioned a few times but yeah, Child of Eden is on the PS3. I just read about it (again) in the Playstation Magazine. Looks good on either system.

[rataranian]

I don't have an xbox only ps3, but it doesn't look to good for them in 11. I kind of wish they had more to offer. Better competition means more games for everyone. This Kinect thing is killing hardcore gaming. Motion control is not a video game in my opinion. It should be in a separate class of video entertainment.
