1Up: Top 10 Xbox 360 Games for 2011

The Xbox 360's lineup is a curious case. There's no slouch or dip in overall quality, as there are some great multiplatform games hitting it and the PS3. It's just that there aren't quite as many first-party or exclusive games announced for 2011. Besides Gears of War 3 and some intriguing Kinect titles, Microsoft has been a bit quiet. Maybe E3 will change our minds -- but despite the smaller list of pure exclusives, there are more than enough quality third-party titles that give the Xbox 360 a strong 2011.

I do believe MS does have more to reveal, how much more is another story. I am not especially excited about the 2011 lineup for the Ps3 either, to be honest.

[Rhythmattic]

Looking at your general comments, nothing but a long,round 360 would make you happy.

[Bloodyghost]

Remember its his personal opinion. I think MS will show some more games while showing off more of the ones they announced at TGS and HOPEFULLY! we get MGS Rising Release Date.

Playstations lineup is great! But most of the games I want for 2011 are Multiplatforms sadly.

[ABizzel1]

I agree with him. I think the 360 will have more to show, but not until E3. But even then I don't think we'll see a ton of titles. Maybe 2 or 3 retail releases and a couple of XBLA titles.

[ksense]

I understand it is hard to get excited when you do not have the system....

@below

i am sorry that is just not an opinion. he is obviously trolling and you know it. i can understand if a few of those titles don't excite him but saying the entire lineup doesn't excite him is just bs.

I mean come on the guy apparently thinks uncharted 3 is over rated and then goes in that topic and posts day one rental....

[Bloodyghost]

You kids dont like any ones opinion unless it outlines "PS3" as god, dont you?

[Belasco]

I have a slim, psn balasco68

[MajestieBeast]

@bloody ghost

Thing is he did say it was overrated in another topic which was about uncharted 3.

[Bloodyghost]

But thats his Opinion. Unless He runs around screaming to you guys that "Uncharted 3 is overrated and all you need to see it because I know it is" then he is voicing his opinion.

Remember everyone has a personal opinion based on there likings.

[MajestieBeast]

Ye lets not be excited about uncharted 3(record breaking game)
Killzone 3[Already looking better in everyway then killzone 2]
Infamous 2[Will be what uncharted 2 was to uncharted]
Resistance 3
Twisted metal
The last guardian[From the great minds that made ico and sotc]
Ratchet and clank all for one
ICO & sotc collection
LBP2[Sequel to the goty of 2008 already looking better then lbp]
Motorstorm apocolypse
Socom 4[The return of the ps2 online king]

Yeah nothing exciting about that list... Go back under the rock you came from troll.

Btw balasco your ID doesnt exist in the US database.

[Bloodyghost]

If i said Starcraft 2 was not my cup of tea then do you think a friend who loves Starcraft 2 would tell me I am wrong?

No. Its a Opinion. He stated his opinion. Thats his. You clearly see these games as ground breaking but others may see it as something else.

He says this lineup is not his cup of tea.

Your Respond as him as a troll. This makes no sense.

If he ran around here yelling "PS3 SUCKS! and UNCHARTED 3 IS OVERRATED!" then thats trolling.

[ksense]

@bloodyghost

u rly seem to be defending this guy as if he is related to you or something lol. i am beginning to smell something fishy here. u sure u r not belasco under a diff. account? either way i don't care.

you still don't get the point do you? when you look at a list of 20 games and say none of them excite you then something is wrong because that is a good variety of games right there and he is being biased and trying to downplay the ps3 exclusives.
if by chance it is an HONEST opinion and none of those are his cup of tea then i sure would like to know what exactly his cup of tea his?

[RedRedSuitSDF]

"Socom 4[The return of the ps2 online king] "

LMAO! I thought Socom Confrontation would do that? Now it's going to be Socom 4?

And what do you mean by "record breaking game" in regards to Uncharted 3?

[Dread]

o my, what are the odds! A sony fanboy posting a list of Sony exclusives in a 360 related article.
insecure much. I think we all know what Sony has, so you can keep your list. I will buy the games i want. Anyone that does not like any of those games,has the right to say so.. guess what IT IS THERE OPINION.

Its like people are not allowed to like 360 games anymore. If you do not immediately praise Sony you either get attacked, or have to endure a sony fanatic pushing Sony products in your face, and claiming that they are the best...

I think MS, as they do every year, will show more games as the year progresses. It is clear that Sony has more annonuced games so far, but It feels that this is the same thing that happens every year.

Since 2005, i have been hearing from Sony fanatics to "wait for next year and youll see" so I will wait for 2011 and see. Perhaps this year it will be different.

O and you can go ahead and take my bubbles, i will keep calling out the fanboys everytime. I came to this thread to talk about 360 games, and as always, the SDF has to ruin the discussion with their lists and attacks. (maybe If a say that kenect sucks you guys will feel better?)

[R2D2]

@Belasco - MS does have more exclusives and It would be dishonest to say I had no preconceived notion of what going to the 2011 line up. But, it would also be dishonest to not tell you that I was is coing up. The whole process sounded so unpleasant that my geeky curiosity, not unlike examining a particularly odd insect, got the best of me.

As we drove up to the entrance of the MS head office, I waited to see it: the giant pile of games that you know is lurking within the facility. But even though that’s what a game studio does – a receptacle for our gameing needs – it didn’t look like that at all. From where we were, it was a giant, green money tree.

Rising up to 225 feet above sea level, the closed-off areas of the landfill are covered with many stabilization and drainage layers that culminate in tall, green grass.

[peowpeow]

Are you on crack?

[jessupj]

And my opinion is that he obviously doesn't have a clue about good games

[Godmars290]

Why do I get the feeling that though people are saying MS will make game announcements at E3 2011, most of those game wont release 2011. That for the most part, its just going to be about fueling flame wars and keeping the fanboys happy.

[jbiz320]

With Xbox having virtually no exclusives (that arent Kinect related) the PS3 should have no problem beating it in sales next year in the US right?

[Ashby_JC]

Exclusives are great but IMHO the average consumer has no idea what is a multiplat or a Exclusive!

With the success of the Kinect and its games and future games. I see sales of the 360 going up.

PS3 has a strong lineup ..but I say lets wait and see what actually really gets released. Also being that Sony doenst heavily advertise its exclusives...I dont see there 1st party games really getting Joe Average in the store buying a PS3.

I have friends now who own PS3s. Who dont even know about MAG or Killzone. They like...whats that??

How can someone own a system and NOT know all the games that is available. I say its lack of making it known ..if you actually own the system.

Like the fact that Playstation Home is NOT advertised on the box for the PS3 Slim. Whats up with that lol!

[guigsy]

Not at all, Kinect was probably the main reason the 360 outsold the PS3 on a 3:1 ratio last month.

Also, the average consumer will not be aware of half the PS3 exclusives next year.

[jessupj]

You'd be right if the average consumer wasn't an idiot and actually did a little research.

"if you knew, you'd get a PS3"

[vmanj]

Sales wise I think xbox360 is going to dominate this December. Here is Canada xbox360 was priced at $129.99 at bestbuy n futureshop for boxing week and ppl were absolutely going crazy.

[Stealth20k]

People keep saying that microsoft has more to reveal but so does sony.

One thing would be sly cooper 4 and wkc 2 for starters.

So the difference between exclusives will keep growing, not shrinking

[InTheKnow]

2011 will be a year for third party devs. The third party line up for 2011 is unprecedented...

Bulletstorm
Crysis
Deadspace
Home Front
Ghost Recon
MGS Rising
Operation Flashpoint
Battlefield
Batman Arkham asylum
Silent Hill
LA Noire
Fear 3
Deux Ex: human Revolution
Resident Evil
Brink
dragon Age 2
Portal 2
Rage
COD...

...and whatever else is going to be announce at E3. M$ has already said that they have many games in the pipeline unfortunately it's in the hands of the devs not M$...Too human is a trilogy, Blue dragon, lost odyssey, Mech warrior was announce 2 years ago and M$ owns the licence, and of course Project Kingdoms among others.
Lets revisit this topic after E3 shall we. I think things will look different. Right now it's Gears 3, Forza 4, Xcom, and a pile of interesting Kinect games...

Star Wars
Codename D
project Draco
Steel Battalion
Rise of nightmares
The secret world
Haunt
Brain Age for Kinect ( 0_o )

E3 will be huge...I'm hoping for a new Xbox and Wii.

[Bloodyghost]

It would be grand for a new Xbox and Wii but dont hold your breath. Kinect is going to be legs that keeps Xbox going for a little longer.

I think Nintendo may announce or talk about a new Wii, but if not E3 2011 DEFINITELY 2012

[Optical_Matrix]

The fact there are no JRPG's disgusts me. Will be buying loads on my PS3, PSP, DS and also Last Story on my Wii, but where the hell are the Xbox JRPG's. Thought it was the king of JRPG's this gen? Ugh...I really don't know what I'm going to be playing on my Xbox 360 next year. I really don't :/

[Belasco]

@MajestieBeast

lol I was just bored, of course Uncharted is a great series.

[BatRastered]

Before clicking on this, I said to my roommate "I bet this list is full of multi-platform games, Kinect games, and Gears of War 3."

Just wanted to let you know, I called it.

[Dread]

I am very excited about Gears 3 and Bulletstorm.

does anyone know about any good aracade games that are coming necxt year?

[ironmonkey]

big list of multiplats, wow cannot wait to play them too. on ps3

[Arup02]

PS3 troll in a MS article. Just another day at N4G.
