One of the top games last year based on reviews from very well known gaming sites was Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was developed by the same company that made Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and is an engrossing action role-playing game with post World War II setting. The Character levelling system, unreal graphics, and open-ended game play earned Fallout 3 some of the highest marks last year from reviewing sites. So if you were an Elder Scrolls IV fan you will definitely be a fan of Fallout 3.

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.
