Best Xbox Games


Call of Duty: World at War is World War II with a twist: the game changes the rules by thrusting players into weary, merciless battles against a fresh fierce enemy in the most hazardous and thrilling battle ever seen in World War II. In other words the game is fast and fluid; you fight for a minute and then you die. You fight for another few minutes and then you die%u2026etc.

Call of Duty: World at War is a worthy to part of the Call of Duty saga.

The Sound

The sound was great most of the time, there were just that very few glitches that bothered me. Like when someone shoots off a “Banzai” it sound like they’re right next to you even though they’re across the map.

The Graphics

The graphics were not exceptionally good but they were the best yet of the collection.

The Gameplay

The game is very unique in the way that when you pick up a different gun the whole game changes. You could be doing really well and then you run out of ammo so you pick another gun and you start failing. Just like every other game, your teammates are not very good and you pretty much have to fight the whole war by yourself.

Overall

The one thing that stood out was the fact that there were no immature little kids screaming at you and being annoying. That is a deal breaker when I am trying decide what game to play.

In Resident Evil 5, you will discover that the daylight is just as fearful as the shadows of the night.

The people of Kijuju are experiencing some difficult times; people are transforming into mindless, enraged creatures of the dark. The city is going mad; eyeballs are oozing, tentacles are sprouting out of the body and the citizens of Kijuju are becoming weary for blood.

It is up to you to save Kijuju.

Are you strong enough to accept this challenge and discovering what is happening to Kijuju?

The Sound

The sound in the game adds tension when needed, especially when the nerve-jumping music plays as enemies approach. The characters voices for the most part pretty good; you will find some pretty bad voices but for the most part they’re good.

The Graphics

One of the most gorgeous games of century, when you play the game you can not help yourself to stop and marvel at the job well done. The way the lighting and the landscape work together is just outstanding.

The Gameplay

In most games like Halo or Gears of War shooting a gun is babies play, but in Resident Evil 5 it’s a little bit more challenging which adds a whole new style to the gameplay.

Overall

Most games depend on competitive online multiplayer; Resident Evil 5 has ingeniously come up with a rare replayable game. Very few games are this way, and it works because there is so much detail and so many extra bonuses that every time you replay the game it’s almost like a completely different game.

1# JADE EMPIRE
When BioWare decided to jettison the Knights series it seemed like an odd move. The ideas behind the new IP were certainly interesting. Who wouldn’t want to hop into the lead role of a wuxia film? What we weren’t prepared for was the completely revamped combat system and beautiful visual style that put BioWare’s previous work to shame. Instead of the turn based, action hybrid of KOTOR it presented true action, contact based combat. The story is fantastic, with engaging character development and three moral pathways that make playing through the game more than once a must. Jade Empire is such a well composed game that it will cause you to reconsider what elements a classic RPG should posses.

2# STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC

It seems like there is a newStar Wars game released every week. Just today we received Episode III, and LEGO Star Wars is still hot off the presses. The idea of a Star Wars RPG seemed like a no-brainer, but like any product based in this universe, the expectations were huge. KOTOR established the morality scale that will probably turn up in other RPGs for years to come. The combat had a turn based element, but it still felt like gamers were taking on the role of an incredibly powerful Jedi. It also put a huge emphasis on story. Setting the game thousands of years before the movies gave the writers liberties that made an old property feel fresh. Oh, and who can forget the plot twist that left gamers slack jawed with amazement. Even with its slightly dated visuals, many Xbox fans still feel that this is the best RPG to appear on the system.

3# ELDER SCROLLS 111:MORROWIND

Morrowind offered us what few console games had even attempted: freedom. Here is a game that gave the player few guidelines and even less restrictions. Did the shopkeeper make you angry? Wait until he looks away and steal all of his goods. Or better yet, kill him and use his shop as a temporary home. The choice on how to make your way through the world is yours and yours alone. While the story is at times confusing and the game engine more than a little flawed, the sheer size of the world is so impressive that one could easily be sucked into it. With a great character creation system and incentive to explore every bit of the vast world, Morrowind gives you more than enough reasons to keep playing long past your bedtime.

4# FABLE

Considering that Fable was supposed be the greatest RPG of all time it is not surprising that it made this list. While it wasn’t as long or as immersive as some fans had hoped, it did add a new level of immersion to the genre. The NPCs in Fable have lives that include eating, sleeping, and reacting to valiant hero or evil lord that enters their town. After interacting with people in Albion, NPCs in other games feel like little more than cardboard cutouts. The sandbox features and growth of the main character meant that Fable was a joy to play even when players weren’t particularly doing anything. As genres continue to merge in videogames, this RPG took the first step towards giving players a robust alternate life.

1.The Elder Scrolls: IV Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls: IV Oblivion is the sequel to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The third game in the series won multiple awards and it is apparent with Oblivion’s popularity that the fourth installment is just as good, if not better. The Elder Scrolls is role playing at its best. This one player game allows players to choose exactly who they want to be, whether it be good or evil.

2. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Set in the future, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced allows teen players to use new weapons to avoid the traps that are set for soldiers. Standard Xbox 360 setup allows one to four players, but Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighters is also compatible with Xbox Live. Xbox Live makes it possible for up to sixteen players to play a game together, even when they are located on opposite sides of the world.

3. Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 2, the sequel to the original Call of Duty, is an amazing war game with outstanding visuals. The game is based around World War II and players must overcome enemies and other obstacles. Due to a split screen feature, Call of Duty 2 can be a multiplayer game. Up to eight players can play together via Xbox Live.

4. EA Sports: Fight Night Round 3

Sports fans will enjoy playing the popular game from EA Sports that is titled Fight Night Round 3. Fight Night Round 3 allows players to become their favorite boxer. Boxers can be customized and fights from the past can be reenacted with changed outcomes. EA Sports: Fight Night Round 3 is designed for one or two players; however, it is also compatible with Xbox Live.

5. Project Gotham Racing 3

Unlike the above mentioned Xbox 360 games, Project Gotham Racing 3 is not rated T for Teen. The game is rated E for Everyone, but it still has teenagers in mind and is a great alternative for those who dislike fighting games. Players are able to select and customize their own cars to race around the world in multiple race settings. Project Gotham Racing 3 is a one or two player game, but it also works with Xbox Live. In addition to more players, Xbox Live also introduces new racing challenges that are not available offline.

6. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

In Battlefield 2 Modern Combat players are literally dropped into the middle of disaster. Players must decide which side they want to be on and then fight to win. The game is designed for one player, but additional players can be added with the use of Xbox Live. In fact, up to twenty-four players can compete with or against each other online.

7. Burnout Revenge

A large number of teenagers are unable to drive, but even if they were there are some things that you just can’t do in a car that is unless you are playing Burnout Revenge. In Burnout Revenge players select the car of their choice and set up car crashes. With Xbox Live four drivers can pit their cars against each other and with offline play up to two players can compete. Burnout Revenge is rated E for Everyone.

8. Kameo: Elements of Power

Kameo: Elements of Power is a game that combines action, adventure, and fantasy all into one. Players become Kameo. The goal of the game is to help save her family from an evil troll king. Players can change their character in to multiple monsters to defeat enemies. Kameo: Elements of Power is a one or two player game that can be played on or offline.

9. NBA 2K6

NBA 2K6 is rated E for Everyone, but it is a game that is highly popular among teenagers. At first glance, NBA 2K6 appears to be another sports game, but the reality is that it is so much more. In addition to playing basketball, it is the player’s responsibility to generate extra income through product endorsements. Once money is made players can use to it purchase new items for their homes. NBA 2K6 can be played with one or two players.

10. Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie

Players, whether they enjoyed the King Kong movie or not, are sure to love playing Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie. When playing the game, players are able to be the human character, Jack, or the gorilla, Kong. Whichever player a character chooses to be there is excitement, battles, and enemies waiting on the other side. Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie is a one player Xbox 360 game.

All of the above mentioned Xbox 360 games are highly rated among teenage gamers. Do you need a gift for a teenager or do want to purchase a game yourself? If so, then check out the large collection of Xbox 360 games designed for teens.

FABLE

There’s been so many ideas about what Fable would bring to gaming that even for someone who’s played through the game twice, it’s difficult to sort some of the fact from fiction. If you are expecting Morrowind, you are going to be disappointed. Though Fable is indeed a game about freedom and choice, it is not nearly as wide-open as Bethesda’s mammoth RPG — and for that I am a little thankful. No, Fable is a lot more along the lines of an adventure game. It is easily on track to becoming Microsoft’s personal Zelda franchise, should the big MS choose to sponsor a few sequels. It’s an incredibly fun game, even though most of the genre-busting elements have been removed.

FAR CRY

When Far Cry was released on the PC 5 years ago it received praise from the critics.Now the game is just as good and dirt cheap u can buy it for 10$ i recommend it.

GTA San Andreas

The storyline of San Andreas should feel somewhat familiar to fans of 1990s cinema. Borrowing rather heavily from John Singleton, Spike Lee, and Ernest Dickerson pictures, this iteration of Grand Theft Auto is all about the thug life when it was still in its infancy. Following the exploits of young Carl Johnson, the game begins as CJ returns from exile in Liberty City after learning that his mother’s been killed via unknown circumstances. CJ feels pretty torn about coming back too, as he originally left Los Santos five years ago when his younger brother Brian was mercilessly gunned down. Nevertheless, family’s family and Carl returns home to San Andreas to pay his respects.

NEED FOR SPEED:MOST WANTED

Need for speed:Most wanted is a well-balanced, challenging, and substantial racing game that’s worth your while on any system. It returns the series to its cop chasing days while incorporating street cars, culture, and an impressive display of stylized FMV without forgetting the fundamentals: People like to drive sweet-looking, fast cars, they want more than a little freedom, and hey, if there are a bunch of hot chicks too? All the better.

1) Halo: Combat Evolved

Developer: Bungie Studios
Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Year Released: 2001

|

Synopsis: There is great debate among hardcore fans as to the superiority of Halo or Halo 2. IGN scored Halo 2 higher than the original, but looking back on the games from the perspective of 2007, the profound effect, influence, and long-term lifespan of the first Halo puts it in a special category of its own.

Halo essentially carried the Xbox for the first three years of its lifespan. It created a sub-culture of gaming. It gave birth to Red Vs. Blue. It kick-started and sustained the Xbox from the first day the system shipped with one of the most bad-ass game characters ever in a memorable story until Halo 2 finally pushed it off its perch. And it stole millions of college students’ potential time crafting their social skills to meet women, and replaced them with endless hours of co-op and LAN multiplayer parties. A videogame that’s better than a girlfriend? Apparently so.

|

Aside from some slightly dull backtracking and confusing hallway sections, both of which are minor quibbles, Halo’s influence was profound on games in general. It showed the world how to make great first-person shooters work well on consoles. It influenced dozens of companies that tried to copy its two-guns-and-grenade weapon system, Cortana’s friendly narrative-style, a functional vehicle mechanic in an FPS, and for those who could do it, cooperative campaign gameplay. It did all these things well, with gorgeous graphics and incredible sound effects and mesmerizing music. Play the Halo today and you’ll realize how remarkably well it has held up.

2) Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Year Released: 2005

|

Synopsis: Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on Xbox represents the pinnacle of the series. From a gameplay standpoint everything about it was honed, enhanced, and improved upon over its predecessor with tight controls, great level design and beautiful graphics.

|

From an audio-visual perspective, Sam’s world is one of the best looking games on the system, replete with gorgeous animations, meticulous texture work, and realistic lighting and shadows — all of which were strengths in the previous versions and bettered in Chaos Theory. Ubisoft also upped the ante with a highly polished adversarial mode and new on- and offline co-op missions, giving it new life after the tough but engaging Pandora Tomorrow.

|

Equipped with new moves, a knife, sniper and shotgun attachments for the SC-20K, and alternate fire options that interfere with electrical circuits and disable lights for a short period of time, Fisher, the bad-ass, got even badder. All of this took place with a robust, multi-tiered alert system that created gameplay options, rather than limiting them. Finally, the four new specially designed cooperative levels, and the 11 new multiplayer maps were all built around a more full-bodied set of modes, both offline and online, giving this game legs well beyond its excellent single-player mode.

|

rainbow 63)Rainbow Six 3

Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Year Released: 2003

|

Synopsis: Originally created for the PC, Red Storm’s, and then when Ubisoft bought Red Storm, Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six series evolved into a mass market product that has served the hardest of the hardcore shooter, casual gamers, and military fanatics alike on multiple systems. On the Xbox in 2003, Ubisoft saw opportunity knocking and tapped into the growing Xbox Live community with a real team-based tactical shooter that grabbed IGN’s editorial team attention and never let go.

|

While the single-player missions didn’t blow the lids off any doors, the team mechanics and controls were solid, and multiple door approaches into terrorist’s barracks gave you a feeling of control and tactical command. And after you finished those off, the substantial co-op and the multiplayer missions kept you riveted for days and weeks afterwards with your friends offline or online. Overall, the powerful range of weaponry, the smart mechanics, the quick impact of a kill, and the sense of camaraderie created while playing on Xbox Live all came together to satisfy our gaming souls.

|

4) Fable

Developer: Lionhead Studios / Big Blue Box
Publisher: Microsoft
Year Released: 2004

|

Synopsis: You couldn’t plant an acorn and come back later to find a tree. Children in Albion would not change their hairstyle to mimic yours. There weren’t branching story paths. In fact, much of what Peter Molyneux and Lionhead promised in their “ultimate RPG” never panned out. But guess what? The game is still an absolute blast to play. Microsoft’s best answer to Zelda, Fable isn’t a game that’s made for the hardcore RPG gamer. It’s not made for the hardcore action or adventure gamer either. It’s made for everyone and has enough layers to provide both a superficial and exceptionally deep experience in one tight little package.

|

Fable wins with its exceptional world design and great good vs. evil dichotomy. Every town, region, and dungeon was hand crafted with loving detail so that every nook just screamed to be explored. The story may not have been the most engaging in the history of the RPG, but the fluid action mechanics and well designed skill progression tree made for an RPG that was fun to play regardless of which genre of game you prefer.

|

10) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Developer: Rockstar North
Publisher: Rockstar Games
Year Released: 2005

|

Synopsis: Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto III and the subsequent sequels to that landmark series made their name on the PlayStation 2, plain and simple. Sadly, Xbox owners had to wait long for their GTA. Sony bought the exclusive rights, which Microsoft and Rockstar eventually found loopholes for later, and the result was a two-for-one bundle, GTA III and GTA Vice City in the GTA Double Pack in 2003, and the delayed release of GTA San Andreas in 2005.

|

While the GTA III easily had the most profound effect and influence on the industry, from game development to production values to taking a stance on mature themes, the biggest, baddest and best game in the series is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The three-city game, filled with mini-games, side quests and countryside, was far and above the biggest game, in virtual physical space, of its kind. The innovative character growth and customization along with the use of NPC sidekicks, the use of simple vehicles like bicycles, and the African-American central character, CJ, pushed the game to its limits in all respects. Naturally, Rockstar infused the game with its own brand of style, continuity, and pop cultural references, which boosted it far above any game in its genre. GTA San Andreas is the quintessential game of its kind and the crown jewel of thug-style sandbox games in the previous generation.

I want to get my boyfriend an xbox 360 video game, and surprise him with it…i know he loves halo, and although i dont know much about xbox 360 OR videogames, i want to know what are some new games that he wont likely already own.
For someone who loves halo, are there other similar things i could try game wise? guys, honest answers please, he is turning 20 yrs old.

thanks.

well if he is a halo fan like pretty much all 360 owners then there is no doubt that he got ‘gears of war’ also but if not then thats the first game you should buy him….still 59 bucks.
other games that i would want in order…
call of duty 2
ghost recon advance war…2
call of duty 3
splinter cell double agent.
burnout revenge.

but honestly the best you can buy him is the ‘pre-order’ of halo-3 from best-buy….that would be the sickest present. he wont get the game until sept 25th but u can give him the pre-order receipt, nicely wrapped in a package. trust me…if you are looking for a game, you cannot do better then buying the pre-order of halo 3. and if he already has it then well my b-day is coming up too….u can send it to me. i m turning 21…i’ll mail you some free liquor. :)
