It might appear that this is another typical year on Xbox 360. A handful of top-tier games sold millions of copies, many others struggled, and Xbox Live Arcade produced a few stellar titles. But there has been a very subtle shift leading into the release of Kinect, one that may change the Xbox library moving forward.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Kinect proved itself to have better games than PlayStation's Move.
Look, things are great for Xbox 360. Some of 360's best games came out this year and without question this was the best year ever for downloadable content. We saw a few interesting gaming experiments on XBLA, including the moody Limbo. And Kinect proved itself to have better games than PlayStation's Move. Next November marks the 10-year anniversary of Microsoft's entry into the console market and to celebrate, they seem to have an amazing line-up set to go. The big game announcements haven't even begun, but from what I know 2011 should be a killer year. I'm glad to be along for the ride.

"That's Microsoft's grab at a new audience. Though $500 million dollars are being plopped down to market Kinect, the focus of the Xbox 360 console remained on big-budget sequels for most of the year."

WOOOOOOW... talking about hyperbole ..
its amazing how i can get an idea of the hole article just reading the last few lines
It was an "ok" year for 360. Just Reach and Fable III was worth the wait Alan Wake was a huge let down.
But for PS3 and Nintendo Wii it was terrific. 3D dot heroes, MAG, Yakuza 3, GT5, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, The Sly Collection and ModNation Racers made my wallet say "AM CRY" Along with Wii with DKC, SMG 2...
... I’m just kind of bored by Microsoft right now. A few good games this year, mixed with too much Kinect exposure and only 1 announced exclusive for next year has me a bit sad on the 360 front... but then again, I’m sure they’ll announce at least a couple more hardcore games by or at E3.
