This thread was designed to help future Xbox 360 owners or potential Xbox 360 owners decide which games are worth playing or spending your money on. Each game has a brief description about the game. If you have any suggestions, they would be much appreciated. ![]() Lost Odyssey ![]() My Score - 7.5 Lost Odyssey has a great storyline and great characters which are imperative for a good JRPG which is what the game is. It is one 4 discs but it doesn't hinder your enjoyment and it will last you a long time to complete everything. Oblivion ![]() My Score -- 9.6 Oblivion is an excellent RPG with over 200 hours of gameplay and excellent graphics and gameplay. The interesting main story and side-quests also add some great depth to the game. Must Buy! Mass Effect ![]() My Score -- 8.5 Mass Effect also has many hours of gameplay to keep you attached to the game. The graphics and voice acting are some of the best for a 360 game to date. Eternal Sonata ![]() My Score -- 8.5 Eternal Sonata is a beautifully crafted game with stunning visuals and a very pretty environment. The story and battles make it a very unique game and sets the game out among the pack. ![]() Halo 3 ![]() My Score -- 9.5 Halo 3's climactic story and superb multiplayer make it one of the best 360 games. The sheer amount of Halo 3 players online is astounding, despite its negative online players, the multiplayer experience is not to be missed. A try or buy! Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare ![]() My Score -- 9.0 Call of Duty 4 has a short-but-sweet storyline but combined with an amazing multiplayer; it makes the game worth buying. It has exciting gameplay, superb graphics and fantastic sound effects to match. The Orange Box ![]() My Score -- 9.5 The Orange Box is a superb value package for anyone looking for a bargain. The multiplayer game-- Team Fortress-- is fun along with Portal, and the Half-Life 2 part of the game is exciting and interesting. Try or Buy! The Darkness ![]() My Score -- 8.5 The Darkness has a compelling well told story with fun gameplay to match. The graphics are beautiful technically and artistically which makes The Darkness a great game to play. Bioshock ![]() My Score -- 9.0 BioShock--despite no multiplayer capabilities-- is an astounding piece of work. The environmental graphics are nothing short of masterful and the riveting story and sound is excellent. ![]() Gears of war ![]() My Score -- 9.6 Gears of War's technically prolific graphics and sound make it one of the best 360 games. Its single player story is really enjoyable but its multiplayer is one of its main pros which a lot of modes and maps to choose from. Must buy! Lost Planet ![]() My Score -- 8.1 Lost Planet has beautiful environments and excellent snow details in a game. The bosses in the game are incredible and very exciting to play against. The multiplayer may not be as active as it once was but is still a lot of fun. Try or Buy! Crackdown ![]() My Score -- 7.8 Crackdown is a pretty fun game. The city is beautifully rendered and is vast. The abilities are fun to use and the ability to improve them is fun too. Despite the mediocre co-op the game is worth a rent, or if you really want it, a buy. Stranglehold ![]() My Score -- 7.0 Stranglehold is a short experience but the exciting explosions and cool abilities make the game exciting to play. The slow motion camara is also a pretty good addition to the game.

The graphics are great and the gameplay makes for some very interesting gaming. If you want a better multiplayer experience or even better graphics, look for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, but GRAW should not be overlooked. Rainbow Six Vegas ![]() My Score -- 9.1 Rainbow 6 Vegas is an excellent game with awesome visuals and an immersive storyline. The game allows you to do cool things even Jack Bauer would be jealous of and the multiplayer is one of the best for the Xbox 360. ![]() Burnout Paradise ![]() My Score -- 9.0 Burnout is back on the 360 and as good as ever. The game now features a superb open world city where you can pick your races and more. The visuals are superb, as is the addicting multiplayer game. The music and voice acting is pretty poor, but it doesn't distract you from the crazy and exciting gameplay. Forza 2 ![]() My Score -- 9.2 Forza 2 is a fantastic racing game. The customisability is excellent and you can create your own cars. The graphics are superbly detailed, and the races are thrilling all the way through. DiRT ![]() My Score -- 8.3 DiRT's online is a big disappointment but the game makes up for it with stunning graphics and equally unique tracks. The game's interface is sleek and cool looking too. PGR 4 ![]() My Score -- 8.5 Project Gotham Racing 4 takes what PRG 3 has done and improved upon it with highly detailed graphics and the inclusion of motor bikes which add a different approach to races. The inclusion of Kudos points adds a unique way to drive with styIe. ![]() Assassins Creed ![]() My Score -- 9.0 Assassin's Creed has excellent interactivity with its environment and has a historically accurately storyline which is pretty interesting. The graphics are stunning but some may think the game can get pretty repetitive. Ninja Gaiden II (2) ![]() My Score -- 8.0 The infamously brutal game is back with a new story, new weapons and excellent finishing moves and superb action make this game worth buying. Be prepared for an annoying camera and an inconsistent difficulty. Devil May Cry 4 ![]() My Score -- 8.0 The Devil May Cry series hit's the Xbox 360 with a thud. The action packed gameplay is excellent and the addition of a new character offers some variety. The graphics are also superb, as are the cut scenes. The puzzles can be frustrating at times and disrupt the flow of the game though. Tomb Raider: Anniversary ![]() My Score -- 7.5 Tomb Raider is an enjoyable game to say the least. The gameplay is fun and the acrobatic elements of the game add to this. If your looking for a fun game at an affordable price, Tomb Raider is a worth candidate. Dead Rising ![]() My Score -- 8.4 Dead Rising is a ridiculously fun game. The endless amount of zombies and weapons make for some great ways to kill time (no pun intended). The only real flaw is the frustrating real-time system and save system make saving the game quite awkward. Ace Combat 6 ![]() My Score -- 8.5 Ace Combat 6 has superb visuals and sound effects which make the game a worthy buy. Its gameplay and controls are smooth and easy to pick up. The vast amount of multiplayer modes also adds to replay value. ![]() Madden NFL 08 ![]() My Score -- 8.5 If you are an American Football fan this may just be a must-buy. It offer a much tougher experience than previous games, but is still as much fun. The franchise mode is also much more deeper and satisfying than previous Madden games. The controls may be difficult to pick up but when you, Madden 08 offers a great experience. FIFA 08 ![]() My Score -- 8.5 FIFA 08 is an enjoyable soccer game with bags of modes and teams. The game's graphics are good and commentary is pretty good too. The online is also pretty good and the presentation is nice. For someone who has never played a FIFA game, the controls will be difficult to master but for experienced players you will get to grips with it pretty fast. NBA 2K8 ![]() My Score -- 8.5 NBA 2K8 is a subtly good basketball game. The instructions are challenging but some new modes and original roster makes this game a must for basketball fans. ![]() G.T.A IV (4) ![]() My Score -- 10 The infamously GTA is back and bigger, funnier and more exciting than ever. Graphically the game is amazing and multiplayer is a lot of fun. As expected, the story is great and replay value is great from completing the missions or just driving around having fun. Guitar Hero III (3) ![]() My Score -- 8.0 Guitar Hero II is a lot of fun, and so is Guitar Hero III. It has what many consider a better track list and is just a lot of dun to play on your own, or with friends. The online is also a lot of fun, and the wireless guitar makes for some hard rocking! Rock Band ![]() My Score -- 9.0 Rock Band is the essential party game, however it is highly enjoyable playing alone too. The variation of instruments will keep you hooked, even though the game is pretty expensive. Command & Conquer 3 ![]() My Score -- 8.7 If you want and RTS game for a console, C and C 3 is your best option. The controls are very smooth and the campaign and cut scenes are excellent. The ability to field huge armies in battles is a lot of fun and it's not as laggy as Lord of The Rings: Battle For Middle-Earth 2. All credit for making this does not go to me as I did this with a friend. Making this a sticky on Xbox 360 Discussion will be much appricated. If this helped you please THANK me. Thank you, YaZzA.

Other than that, I like the idea of the thread and agree with some of the other scores. Crackdown could use higher score and Mass Effect a lower one. But gj on the thread I like it. | ||||||
