IGN Entertainment's latest GamerMetrics report that among the nearly 15,000 gamers surveyed, the Xbox 360 version of Midway's Unreal Tournament III (UT3) has emerged with the strongest affinity to fans of Halo 3.
Based on the survey result, the report speculates that if the Xbox 360 version of UT3 had launched in November at the same time with its PS3 and PC versions, it might have been buried under an avalanche of Halo hype. But releasing it next year ensures that it will reach Halo 3 fans at a time when they might become more receptive. The report posits that the postponed release of the Xbox 360 version might have been a wise strategic move on the part of Midway President and CEO David Zucker.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
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?
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*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
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.
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.
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.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
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.
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.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
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.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
this is win-win for Epic, on one side they do want to capitalize on the hype Gears of War generated on the 360, releasing it later allows them to maximize that and on the other side, by making it a timed console exclusive for PS3, they can soften the feelings of betrayal some PS fans may have felt.
That was a very smart move because HALO 3 is Kicken Azz.Gears Of War sold over 5 Million so Unreal Tournament 3 on the 360 should sale the same or close in 2008. PS3 fans can say what they want about the 360 as a SYSTEM, but the 360 fans buy games by the bunch and thats what counts.The way Halo 3 is selling is what Developers want to see,and this is going to bring Metal Gear Solid and FF to the 360 in 2008 this is not FLAMEBAIT its FACTS.
Agreed...
It was psuhed back because Epic and SOny made a deal
Sony and Epic made a deal. We all know that since E3 :)
