Just bought a system? The IGN team lays out the pros and cons of all the best Xbox 360 games on the market.
Let's say for a second that you didn't rush out on November 22, 2005 and buy a $399.99 Xbox 360. Let's say for a second you were too broke or, maybe, you just couldn't find one. Just pretend. With a few exceptions, Microsoft had made up for its early lack of systems by providing a regular flow of Xbox 360s into retail channels and today. Right now second wave buyers or borderline fence-sitters are finally breaking down and are buying Xbox 360s. But many questions still remain unanswered. What games should you buy? What's worth your hard-earned salary? Which games should you avoid? IGN can save you from throwing away cash with this helpful mid-summer guide.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
Well I think it's quit complete, except there is always a subjective opinion included.
And the rescent price drop of some games also.
If you ask me, Kameo needs te be mentioned also. Especially when you can pick it up in the States for about 29,95 dollar and hopefully for the same amount of Euro's soon overhere also.
They missed out some other games (arcade ones also like Uno) and it would be nice if they had shown the games up till the end of the year worth waiting/saving your money for like (well this one everyone knows to get) Gears of War, Forza 2 and others.
The best thing is Condemned also lowered in price in USA, so together with Kameo 2 games for the price of one... That's fun!
if you just bought a 360...take this advice...if you like online shooters get Call of Duty2 (a great single player too)
If you just bought a xbox 360 buy the launch games. They are cheap and really fun. Like condemmed, PDZ, call of duty 2, kameo, PGR, NFS Most Wanted
