It's been almost two years since the Xbox 360 launched, and thus two years since the birth of the "achievement": a small badge of honor proudly worn on a gamer's tag, with an attached number of points acting as the ultimate reward for a gamer's dedication and perseverance.
With the upcoming third installment of the indisputable face of the Xbox platform, Halo, one would imagine that the title should mark the ultimate culmination of two years of testing the achievement waters. Now that the achievement list is available, though, I am a little disappointed.
Perhaps Bungie figured it better to stick to simple and straightforward accomplishments, but I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed with the end result.
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
I could of told you that.
They should be boring.. that way boosters/cheaters/achievement whores won't ruin the game.
Good job Bungie!!
I think they're awesome with all the skulls and different kills equaling 5 points each so nobody goes overboard trying to kill everything. I don't know what the deal is with this guy
Wow I swear there will always be someone who complains aobut something so stupid, he has not played the final game and he is already moaning about the achievements. I bet they will be fun.
i dint think they were that bad. its halo! what would you have thought the achievments would be? humping pwned players faces!? actually that would have been good. lol
