The Piledriver: Since it’s launch in 2005, the Xbox 360 has been the platform for some very amazing and innovative titles. Out of thousands of games, what are the 10 that stand out from the pack?
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
Left for dead is must, it's my fav 360 console exclusive. I'd prob remove mirrors edge for it.
They're almost all multiplats o_O with skyrim at #1
Wowww... with 8 years on the market thats the best there is? Umm, I sincerely feel sorry for any of those out there who only had a 360 this console generation.
Either a poor list or Xbox really sucked this gen - haven't turned mine on for over a year :-(
If were talking best 360 games of all time... and that list doesn't include BioShock, Alan Wake or Left 4 Dead - well, that's just meh.
