"On paper this generation of gaming should be etched into history as “the one where it all began.” In fifty years time our grandchildren should look back on this gen and wonder what it was like when we were first able to watch movies on demand via a home console. The sad realisation is that despite all the marvel and grandeur, this generation has become tainted with lies, misleading propaganda and fleecing of the uninformed public."
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
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.
Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.
Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.
Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.
Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.
You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.
The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.
But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.
I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh
the nickle and dime era of gaming
Retail squeezing every dime from publishers and gamers alike produces this result.
Perhaps. Devs are abandoning there creativity in favor of making money. And I get that it's a really competitive industry. But I think game devs should have more faith that a gamer will buy a game that's different and fun and not just pull out there Cod cookie cutters or spam us with ridiculous dlc. Resistance is my fave fps this gen but it abandoned it's roots and became a cod clone. And no I don't care how fun arkham city is I will not be buying any dlc for it. AND STOP SLAPPING MP ON GAMES THAT DON'T NEED IT!!!!!!
Yes. It's gone too mainstream. Thus, developers become money whores, and gamers, mostly kids, take it too seriously.
"YUR CONSOLE SUXXXZZ!"
what pissis me off about this gen is looking online for a game and seeing like 5 different pre-order bonuses! walmart, target, gamestop, amazon, everyone!
