don't bother. It will already be filled. ;-)

That means that starting on December 4th you can register for the opportunity to be a part of the Beta. That means that you have from the 4th till an unknown date and time to sign up before they randomly select however many people they want. Usually they have a survey to fill out so that they can choose a varied base of users.

Once again people from Europe are completely disregarded. This has become far too common. We are the last to recieve electronics and games( The majority of the time), We don't get a video market place, We are charged more for Live, We're charged more for games. Etc.

MicroGamer6772d ago (Edited 6772d ago )

blame your Queen and Parliament. They are the ones that drive up the cost of everything. I remember when Ubisoft was running the Everquest servers over there, there was a 4 pound a month V.A.T. charge added to the price, and UK players blamed SOE for it. I have shopped in England, so I have experienced the price differences for various goods myself. You're being taxed to death over there.

Oops. Sorry, I don't know if you are in the UK or not, just using that as an example. Other European countries have equally confiscatory taxation schemes in place, though.

Smellslikepie6772d ago

Yeah, I am from the UK. And just to clarify, the Queen has almost no power anymore. It's all Parliament and Prime Minister.

I wasn't necessarily blaming Microsoft. (well, I was with the whole 'Live' thing.)

I don't understand the £4 V.A.T because V.A.T is 17.5% of the the original price added onto it. So that would've been quite a bit per month.

I wish things would change though, it's a tad depressing when things like this happen.

PS360PCROCKS6772d ago

That's lame, why doesn't everyone get to try it out that's not fair, I'm from the U.S but still not fair

Schmitty076772d ago

I wish it was just over XBL, cause now I may not get to play it.

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

Kaii523d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies523d 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?

DrDoomer560d ago

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

raWfodog560d ago

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

BrainSyphoned560d 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*

Husker42c560d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb560d ago

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

ChasterMies560d ago (Edited 560d 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_Mal560d ago (Edited 560d 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.

darthv72560d 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.

Hofstaderman560d ago

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

Profchaos559d ago (Edited 559d 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.

BehindTheRows559d 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.
