Three excellent games at a cheap price that are much better than anything the Crapstation 3 has.

REALgamer5517d ago

They're all great games, about time Halo 3 went to half-price.

However Mass Effect and PGR4 can already be found for even less if you shop around.

Cajun Chicken5517d ago

Got Mass Effect for £7 secondhand.

DirtyLary5517d ago

I'm tired of seeing Nazistop ripping people off selling Halo3 for $35 used.

Klopek5517d ago

What's the deal with the classics collection? How is it decided whether a game will be added? I thought it was simply based on "copies sold" but if that's true why isn't Call of Duty 4 "classic" yet? Has Activision simply refused to agree to a classic release because it's still selling so well?

edgeofblade5517d ago

There is no "rule" that triggers a game going into classic versioning. It's purely a business decision. Imagine someone who is on the fence about buying a system. They can now get some of the better games on the system without the increased sticker shock at the checkout counter. Imagine saving up X hundred and having the register ask you for X+1 hundred dollars because you wanted a game. Most people could see that coming, but it hurts no less in this platform-mediated market world we live in.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii104d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies104d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

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?

DrDoomer142d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog141d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned142d ago

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*

Husker42c141d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb141d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

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.

Abnor_Mal141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

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.

darthv72141d ago

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.

Hofstaderman141d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

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.

BehindTheRows141d ago

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.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72153d ago

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.

isarai153d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ152d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil152d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
