For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
ShadowRun arrived in 2007 and is still played by a core audience on modern consoles and PC today, despite a bungled launch.
Played it a few months back. Not a stellar mp game at its time, but still genuine & janky fun.
I have never played Shadowrun. However, the universe of Shadowrun seems like a good setting for various game genres. The franchise combines traditional fantasy tropes with cyberpunk science fiction.
Yeah since the megadrive game I’ve always thought how cool the setting and premise is but the game never really delivers on gameplay.
Really enjoyed this back on 360. Was one of the first pc games I played as well. Nice to see it's still online I'm going to have to see about getting a copy on pc again.
Edit: is this backward compatible with series X?
The Shadowrun RPGs from Harebrained Schemes were great, but that IP is just begging for a massive, Cyberpunk 2077-style game. Open world action RPG epic with a healthy dose of immersive sim goodness.
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?
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*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
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.
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.
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.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
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.
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.
Nice, an article praising Gamestop... If you look around a bit, you can find deals a lot better than Gamestop. Hell, Amazon tends to do discounts on old games a bit down the road that gives you a new copy for around a used copy price. Gamestop only tends to be good in comparison to others when its the buy 2 get 1 free deal.
I just wanted to point out that there is more to buying used games than the $5 mark down. I have listened to several podcasts from different gaming sites claiming they dont understand why anyone would pay $5 less to get a used game.
