Top 5 Xbox 360 exclusives of all time that every current and future Xbox gamer must play!

Choosing games on a budget in this day and age can be a tough decision, wanting to make sure the game you buy isn't the game you trade in after a couple of weeks. There's also the Xbox 360 first time buyers, with such a vast array of games now available on the Xbox 360, what do you choose?

This list is what I believe to be the Xbox's best exclusives available to purchase now in the shops and they can be bought for a very reasonable price. The list is in no particular order but they are all must haves.

Ehh, alright list. Some predictable choices.

Lost Odyssey should be added.

-MD-5414d ago

I rented LO awhile back but only got 30 minutes into it and stopped... I feel I should give it another go because I hear great things.

MisterNiwa5414d ago (Edited 5414d ago )

The greatest Round Based RPG this whole generation. Square Enix didnt even come near with one of those RPGs they made exclusive for 360 to Lost Odyssey, great story, an awesome feeling while fighting and the soundtrack/atmosphere is blowing you away.

I would cut Halo 3 from this list, its just Halo in HD. Rather add Mass Effect.

Christopher5414d ago

Never played Halo, any of them, have no interest to ever play them. FPS in general aren't fun for me.

Race car games just aren't my thing at all.

Have played the others.

kewlkat0075414d ago (Edited 5414d ago )

Are you serious, the BEST traditional next-gen JRPG this gen. I'll let you borrow my copy if you got rid of it....lol

Great Music/Emotional Story/Turn-based FTW

One of my Favorite tracks

Shoot, you need to pick Lost Odyssey back up. If you stopped without ever hitting a dream section, your missing out on one of its defining features. I would be playing it now but just found out that my Xbox 360 can't play discs anymore. I can only play Halo 3 and disc 1 of Lost Odyssey because those are the two I installed to my HD. Really pissed me when I was starting to play Crackdown and slowly saw textures beginning to muddy up and disappear all together until it froze. Oh well, at least it still plays some games.

Name Last Name5414d ago

lol im just gonna wait till PS3 games somehow are added to this discussion 'sigh'

Jaces5414d ago

I'd replace Dead Rising with Fable and Crackdown with ME.

Megatron085414d ago

The list should of been

Halo
GoW
Forza
Fable
Mass Effect

Kameo is another one that is worth noting and Alan Wake will soon be added to the list of must have exclusives

Tarasque5414d ago

Then WTF are you doing in here then. What you was disappointed another Sony fanboy hasnt said "Well the 360 doesn't even have 5 exclusive's". Or are you just waiting for your crew to arrive with disagree's? I mean seriously why are you here?

kevnb5414d ago

Lost Odyssey was ok, but square never releases good rpgs until after the first final fantasy of the generation... they put all of their resources into it and then build other games of its engine.

kevnb5414d ago

we cant even call mass effect or gears of war exclusive, gears of war 2 is exclusive for now though.

LazyDevs5413d ago

/\/\/\/\/\
Pffftt

OK,OK, play it on the 360 or play it on the windows based PC. Pretty much MS exclusive.

KingKionic 5414d ago

Good list...I would have pick some more over others.

BUt...

Craackdown ftw!

and Crackdown2 ftw.

DelbertGrady5413d ago

I'd like to see Banjo: Nuts & Bolts on the list. Highly underrated game.

Arnon5413d ago

Agreed. And I think there's more than just 5 games.

Crackdown
Halo 3
Gears of War
Mass Effect
Fable 2
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Lost Odyssey
Dead Rising
Forza Motorsport
Left 4 Dead

Awesome Fool5414d ago

@SpoonRedMage - Lost Odessey very nearly made the list, it was that or Forza 2 and Forza 2 was chosen in the end, due to the sheer depth of the game and Lost Odessey is barely worth a second play through imo apart from showing others awesome scenes within the game lol.

@Murderdolls - LO is fantastic and you should definitely give it another go, it's good at pulling on the heart strings!

@KionicWarlord222 - Out of interest, what would you of put in over others?

KingKionic 5414d ago

If i could "add" some. I would put dead or alive 4 and fable list.

ShabzS5414d ago (Edited 5414d ago )

I've played it 3 times with 3 different endings .. it never gets old ...

Jack Klugman5414d ago

so many great great games! Man I love this system!

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart575693d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner0093d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic93d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica93d ago (Edited 93d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack94d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing94d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic93d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos94d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin94d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris94d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine93d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz94d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin98d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack98d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing6998d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot0798d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn98d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid98d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog98d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer199298d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
