The Best Xbox 360 Games

By Larry Moon

Microsoft has been known to try and stay a bit above, and ahead of the market when it comes to your gaming needs. The XBOX 360 has some of the most innovative and advanced games on the market today. However, finding one that fits your needs in gaming can be tricky. The reason that it is hard is because of the amount of games that pour in to retail stores weekly. New games can be somewhat expensive, most costing upwards of $60, so some of the titles listed here will give a good idea of the variety, and best for your money games out there.

One of the top games last year based on reviews from very well known gaming sites was Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was developed by the same company that made Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and is an engrossing action role-playing game with post World War II setting. The Character levelling system, unreal graphics, and open-ended game play earned Fallout 3 some of the highest marks last year from reviewing sites. So if you were an Elder Scrolls IV fan you will definitely be a fan of Fallout 3.

Another great open-ended game is Grand Theft Auto IV which has been one of the most highly anticipated games for 2008. It has won several "Game of the Year" awards for its lasting gameplay and excellent presentation. Xbox 360 owners are lucky that they can enjoy more of the game by downloading additional episodes from Xbox Live. Currently there is one extra episode with a second one to be released later this year.

There are not a whole lot of games that keep you on the edge of your seat anymore with the "Scary" title. Dead Space was listed last year as the "World's Scariest Game". It's a very dark and thrilling game that is a third-person shooter, leaving no room to be bored.

There are also third-person shooters that are not as scary, but just as good with Gears of War 2 being one of the best. Not only is the single player experience good, but the multiplayer feature allows you to play with 9 others. Gears of War 2 also won a few awards as well making this a must-have in your game collection.

Action-packed games do not have to be 3-D and bloody and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 proves it. This Xbox Live Arcade shooter was greatly praised by critics for the different modes to choose from. It is much better than its predecessor and some consider it as the best Xbox Live Arcade game during the time of its release. Because it is an Xbox Live Arcade title, it is a lot cheaper than the other games mentioned.

Another great Xbox Live Arcade game is Braid which is more of a puzzle game. In fact it is one of the more innovative games that are really worth playing no matter how old you are. The challenge is just right, the story really sucks you in, and the musical score is fantastic. Although this is much more expensive than most Xbox Live games, it should definitely be a part of your gaming collection.

Choosing a title can be hard if you really are unaware of what to look for in a game. Make sure that you do some extensive research on the gaming titles out there to see which ones fit you so that you get the most for your money. - 18423
