WalMart marks down the Legendary Edition (the one with the Spartan helmet) to only $59.82. It begs the question of how many copies did Microsoft/Bungie expect to sell, combined with the over abundance of the Halo 3 edition Xbox 360 itself, which can be found fairly plentiful.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
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 $399 and was easier to develop for.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
they made WAY too many copies of legendary. I love halo, but even I wasn't gonna pay 149$ for a helmet + the game.
Looks like Halo was not as big a hit as Microsoft thought. To bad COD4 is way better. Maybe Bungle should have spent more time on everything.
"To the replies"
Just wait until Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, and Gran Turismo 5.
yup I see alot of Halo 360 edition piles of them unsold..at Best Buy...
I guess the saying was right eehh..everyone who wanted Halo 3 had already bought a 360 before the game came out...look how sales have dried up for the game overall....
Paying 149USD for the Legendary Edition is too stiff. The 59.82USD is reasonable enough if you want the helmet.
I wish I had the number of copies of Halo 3 that have been traded in at game stores. Every Gamestop I go to has piles of Halo 3 just laying around. I myself even traded in Halo 3 for COD4. I am much happier now.
BTW COD4 for the PS3
