The 5 best Xbox exclusives of all time

CVG: We've stuck five games that we think knock the spots off of the above that Microsoft and the Xbox brand can call entirely their own.

Halo CE
Forza 3
Ninja gaiden
Alan Wake
Shadow complex

AKissFromDaddy4941d ago

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is on the PS3 so being that Sigma is a updated version to Ninja Gaiden Black, you do not have to count that as an exclusive, unless you want to.

dangert124941d ago

the fact its different means its still exclusive

darkcharizard4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

#2 Halo 3
#3 Forza 3

OpenGL4941d ago

That's not really fair because you could then point out that a game like Ocarina of Time was later ported to other Nintendo systems. Does it not count as a great Nintendo 64 exclusive then?

ShinMaster4941d ago

Halo 3 at #2??
At least put Gears up there, haha :D

ExplosionSauce4941d ago

They put Crackdown up there? And Halo 3 instead of Reach?

ImpartialMan4941d ago

Mass Effect series is now on PS3.

Fable 2 got 80s average score.

CrackDown was mid 80s but CrackDown2 was a fail.

Only games worth mentioning is maybe Halo 3 and Gears 2

Now while the list you gave is fine you have to remember exclusive means that it's only available on one console. So for something to be Xbox exclusive means it's not also available on the PC. That is not very many games actually. For MS though it's a win win since they make money for selling it on both platforms.

MrMccormo4941d ago

Mass Effect is an exclusive? I played that on PC.

IaMs124941d ago

Also on PC even if it wasnt on the PS3 so FAILED troll GTFO

Garrus_Vakarian4941d ago

IaMs12's got a point. I never considered Mass Effect, 1 or 2, an Xbox exclusive.

BattleAxe4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

1.Halo CE
2.Halo 2
3.Halo 3
4.Halo ODST
5.Halo Reach

Whoa........that's deep....

Edit: oh darn, that's right, Halo CE and Halo 2 were multiplat on PC.........my list equals fail :D

hennessey864941d ago

Forza 3
halo reach
alan wake
crackdown
splinter cell

likedamaster4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

Absolutely appalled at no mention of Gears of War 1 in some of your lists, or Mass Effect for that matter.

Edit: In no certain order...

Games I've enjoyed on the Xbox:

Halo series
Gears series
Splinter Cell series
Mass Effect series
Ghost Recon series

Keep in mind, I have enjoyed other games like Forza, Alan Wake, & Shadow Complex, etc. too just wanted to list my top 5 favorite game series.

tacosRcool4941d ago

I do believe that Mass Effect is not a 360 exclusive since its on the PC

LostDjinn4941d ago

From the article:
"Ok, we admit that a few of these hit the PC as well. Think of this as a list of games that PlayStation faithful can't get their hands on - then everyone's a winner"

So an "exclusive" for 360 is just a game on any platform except PS3?
I'm pretty sure that's not what the word means but hey, whatever gets you through the night.

number474941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

so they have to redefine definitions to consider 2 = 1.

CVG finally admits they are 360 fangirls with that comment as well.

hennessey864941d ago

its still a console exclusive

kraze074941d ago

I think some people need to look up the definitions for the words console and exclusive.

kraze074941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

Disagreeing sure is a lot easier than looking up that definition I guess.

Taken from dictionary.com.

games console: an electronic device used in playing computer games on the screen of a television to which it is connected

exclusive: noting that in which no others have a share

Guess that means if it's on the PC as well as one of the consoles it's not actually exclusive

Denethor_II4941d ago

yeah errr, this is why I prefer my PS3. He list ME1. Oh how he wishes he could list ME2 instead lol.

lolzers4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

Err, what? What's it got to do with the ps3?

EDIT:Oh yeah, I forgot. The ps3 is getting ME2 a year later after all the 360 and pc gamers have played it to death. Egg on my face.

Denethor_II4941d ago

"Err, what? What's it got to do with the ps3?"

The quality of software is as clear as night and day, and not comparable to the PS3

"The ps3 is getting ME2 a year later after all the 360 and pc gamers have played it to death. Egg on my face."

Do you think 360 owners would be complaining if they could play Uncharted 2 a year later?

lolzers4941d ago

If they cared they'd get a ps3. And the quality is no different to any other games that get released on other systems. I've played better games on my pc than the games I've played on ps3.

There are games just as good on other systems. PS3 exclusives aren't the be all and end all of gaming.

As much as I loved UC2, it was a short-lived experience. After the SP it doesn't have much to offer to the SP person.

Roozium4941d ago

ME1 is way better than ME2. ME2 is a shooter, not an rpg.

MrMccormo4941d ago

Did you play ME2? ME2 was better in every way, including the RPG portion.

kraze074941d ago

Mass Effect >>>> Mass Effect 2

HellsJanitor4941d ago

Mass Effect is much better. They stripped out most of the RPG with ME2. Hopefully 3 brings it back for all to enjoy.

AKissFromDaddy4941d ago

its Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Gear of War 1,and Halo Reach

(That's a lot of Halo)

AssassinHD4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

Halo CE, Halo 2, and Gears of War are all available on PC. Kind of hard to be the "best Xbox exclusives of all time" if they are not "Xbox exclusives".

Also, none of those games are listed in the article. Four out of the five games on the list are not available anywhere except Xbox hardware, making them "Xbox exclusives". Mass Effect technically should not be on their list.

Dnied4941d ago

Fable II and crackdown?

I would honestly take something like halo wars over crackdown lol

gears of war 1 > 2 imo

36T4941d ago

The first Crackdown was awesome! I spent so much time on that game. The 2nd Crackdown, not so much. lol!

Halo Wars is a completely different game. If you prefer an RTS over a shooter then naturally you would pick Halo Wars.

Dnied4941d ago

No i know what games they are and its not like that 1 spot was reserved for an action/adventure open world game haha no I honestly meant I'd take something like halo wars over crackdown because I didn't like crackdown (fair enough) and figured I'd pick another game that didnt go well with critics (even though I had fun with halo wars for a little while lol)

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

Kaii107d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies106d 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?

DrDoomer144d ago

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

raWfodog144d ago

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

BrainSyphoned144d 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*

Husker42c144d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb144d ago

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

ChasterMies144d ago (Edited 144d 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_Mal144d ago (Edited 144d 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.

darthv72143d 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.

Hofstaderman144d ago

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

Profchaos143d ago (Edited 143d 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.

BehindTheRows143d 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.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72155d ago

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.

isarai155d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ155d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil155d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
