My Favorite Xbox360 Titles
By an Amazon.com customer
Far Cry 2Far Cry 2
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $12.18
My pick for game of the year. Much, much better and more engrossing than I expected, and I expected a lot. The map editor is quite remarkable too.
Mass EffectMass Effect
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $9.74
The RPG of the future. Not since Star Wars has any type of media captured my attention and imagination like Mass Effect.
The Orange BoxThe Orange Box
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $11.00
Best deal in gaming history. Half-Life is the obvious reason for buying this title, but Portal is also surprisingly enjoyable.
Assassin's CreedAssassin's Creed
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $11.50
Awesome melee combat; honest, hacking and slashing never gets old with Assassin's Creed.
Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Buy used from: $22.98
If not for FC2, this would be my favorite First Person Shooter. Features flawless AI and a incredibly well-designed control scheme.
Halo 3Halo 3
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $18.00
I was palying the whole game with my mouth hanging open, it's that awesome! Everything is improved on and several new weapons and vehicles have been added.
Dead SpaceDead Space
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $12.99
Haven't played it yet, but it looks very promising. I'll definitely be buying this one.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double AgentTom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent
Buy new: $39.98 / Used from: $6.94
I have always been a big fan of the Splinter Cell games, but the previous titles always seemed to lack something. Double Agent has renewed my interest in the series.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.95
Almost too realistic, but still one of the best third-person shooters. Not for everyone, however.
Hitman Blood MoneyHitman Blood Money
Buy new: $94.91 / Used from: $11.99
Excellent gameplay, and great freedom of choice on how to assassinate your target(s).
GunGun
Buy new: $69.99 / Used from: $10.39
A great Western. Galloping across the West has never been so much fun.
Call of Duty: World at WarCall of Duty: World at War
Buy new: $56.99 / Used from: $25.95
The graphics, gameplay, weapons handling, and artifical intelligence of Call of Duty 4, all combined in a WWII-themed world? Hell yes. Can't wait for this one.
Red Faction GuerrillaRed Faction Guerrilla
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $20.00
Ah, Red Faction. The first one was extremely enjoyable, but Red Faction II was a severe disappointment. I'm hoping that this new installment will feature improved gameplay.
Resident Evil 5Resident Evil 5
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $23.95
Ok, gameplay reminiscent of RE4 combined with next-gen graphics and survival horror Resident Evil style spells out gamer heaven to me.
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Platinum Hits)Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Platinum Hits)
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $14.00
Not since Secret Weapons over Normandy has a aerial combat game been so much fun.
Grand Theft Auto IVGrand Theft Auto IV
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $13.20
If you believe that "there is no fate, but what we make", than you will love GTA4. An engrossing story, superb combat system, and awesome vehicles make a amazing experience.
Star Wars: The Force UnleashedStar Wars: The Force Unleashed
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $11.00
Play The Force Unleashed once, and you will fully realize the true power of the Force. Story is great, and the AI is excellent too, so you won't just be hacking trough a mob of mindless Stormies.
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne ConspiracyRobert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy
Buy new: $24.88 / Used from: $9.99
The Bourne Conspiracy is both extremely enjoyable and extremely disappointing. The hand-to-hand combat is intense, brutal, and extremely fun, but the entire game could use some extra polish.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell ConvictionTom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction
Buy new: $56.99
Can't wait! Sam Fisher, equipped with Bourne-like martial arts moves? Hell yeah!
Alpha ProtocolAlpha Protocol
Buy new: $56.99
Seems to resemble a cross between Mass Effect and the world of espionage thrillers. I only hope it is nearly as good a RPG as Mass Effect.
