Searching for a Xbox 360 game can be a little bit tough, because of the amount of titles that are piled on retail shelves daily. The reason there are so many titles on the shelf for Xbox is because they were the pioneer of the seventh generation gaming consoles that were released. The newest games that come out for the Xbox 360 are almost $60 no matter what the title is. So instead of going out and blowing your money on a cool game that looks awesome on the box, you should consider these titles.
If you enjoyed playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which gained a lot of attention in the early Xbox 360 years, you will like Fallout 3. Developed by the same people that brought Oblivion, Fallout 3 is an engrossing action role-playing-game with a post-World War II setting. The open-ended gameplay and character-leveling system earned high marks from top reviewing sites. This is definitely a game to pick up even if you never played a Fallout game before.
Another great open-ended game is Grand Theft Auto IV which has been one of the most highly anticipated games for 2008. It has won several “Game of the Year” awards for its lasting gameplay and excellent presentation. Xbox 360 owners are lucky that they can enjoy more of the game by downloading additional episodes from Xbox Live. Currently there is one extra episode with a second one to be released later this year.
If you prefer treating yourself in a darker atmosphere, consider playing Dead Space. Dead Space is recognized by reviewers as the “World’s Scariest Game”. That should be more than enough to buy this thrilling third-person shooter.
Gears Of War 2 was another game that was highly anticipated and rated as one of the best games of the year. This game won quite a few awards this year making this game a must have and well worth money. It offers unreal graphics, high speed game play, great single player action, as well as the ability to play with up to as much as 9 others.
One of the best games to hit the stands this year was Grand Theft Auto IV. GTA IV won several awards last year from notable internet review sites. Not only was it one of the most highly anticipated games for Xbox but also was one of the most contested, due to its graphic nature. It comes with one extra episode that you can download on Xbox Live for more game play.
Another game that made headlines this year was a game called Braid. This is an interesting but extremely fun game that will stimulate your mind, and make you think. Puzzle games can be challenging but the musical score, and story line come very high touted by review sites.
Making sure that you know what you are looking for in a game will help you tremendously to find a game that will satisfy your gaming needs. It may not seem like it would be that hard to find one, but go check out your local electronics store, and see how many titles fit what you want, and it will become clear.
