It is expected that 400 Xbox 360 games could be the final count till November arrives. Apart from the above mentioned Xbox 360 games below is a list of Top 5 Xbox 360 Games which we really want!
1. Red Dead Redemption:
Developers: Rockstar San Diego | Publishers: Rock2010 star Games | Released Year: | Platform: Xbox 360
As a follow up to the hit game “Red Dead Revolver“, Red Dead Redemption was released on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2010 even though the game couldn’t last for a long time but it severely bagged huge sales in market.
Set in 20th century former outlaw, John Marston’s wife and son were taken hostage by the merciless government, John Marston rounds up his old gang to settle up the grudge rest forms the emotional storyline. Beautiful landscapes, vast open world and emotional storyline made Red Dead Redemption a big hit, The base storyline featuring frontier towns, rolling prairies teaming with wildlife, ride horseback, travel through trains and hilarious mountain passes. Experience the heat of real world fighting with huge gallery of weapons and unique characters.
Red Dead Redemption is rumoured for a sequel and unfortunately John Marston won’t be a part of it. Gameplay at 720p on Xbox 360 is awesomesauce and obviously gameplay at 1080p on Xbox One will surely make Red Dead Redemption breathe again.
2. L.A. Noire:
Developers: Team Bondi | Publishers: Rockstar Games | Released Year: 2011 | Platform: Xbox 360
L.A. Noire is one among the perfect detective video games on your Xbox console. The game is truly amazing and Rockstar does it again! completely different from the countless first and third person shooting games. Obviously L.A. Noire is a revolution in video gaming.
Set in Los Angeles (1947) being a detective head of LAPD(Los Angeles Police Department) solve a range of cases across five divisions. Gameplay blends with action, detection and complex storytelling and draws players into an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders. Its peculiar structure wont’t make it accessible to everyone though, as the more action oriented players will have comprehend its sometimes cryptic and episodic structure to fully appreciate the mix. Well we actually mean the game isn’t that easy because solving cases is pretty hard than killing people with blazing gun. L.A. Noire is full of side quests, newspapers riddles, collectible cars and something suspicious.
Well to be frank in general the game is better on PS3 when compared with Xbox 360, however there is always “Plan B” i.e Xbox One.
3. Midnight Club Los Angeles:
Developers: Rockstar San Diego | Publishers: Rockstar Games | Released Year: 2008 | Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360
Despite difficulty in Midnight Club L.A, the game is quite enjoyable with checkpoints events and time trials. Intelligent design and pure arcade racing fun is what all you need this weekend.
Los Angeles provides a seamless, breathtaking environment for everyone who loves to compete. The interesting part of the game is no load times, no tracks and moreover no rules drive by the beach, beat through the parking garage at 200mph. There are actually loads of thing you can personalise, personalise tuners, classic muscle cars and motorcycles both inside and out with an array of rims, spoilers and interior gauges. Literally a game which has to be experienced at 1080p. What say?
4. Fight Night Champion:
Developers: EA Canada | Publishers: EA Canada | Release Date: 2011 | Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360
Fifth entry in Fight Night series, boxing may be more of a niche market than it used to be but Fight Night Championship is a jewel. Champion mode pulls the inspiration from the likes of Rocky and Raging Bull to craft a narrative around the sport that people still find engrossing. It’s the perfect path for the series to take and we can only hope the next Fight Night builds on this promise, telling more tales from the world of boxing.
Being an avid fan of pro wrestling and boxing, We couldn’t resist ourselves from sharing this gimmick with you. First Night series would be a great hit to bring back to Xbox One.
5. Shadow Complex:
Developers: Chair Entertainment | Publishers: Microsoft Game Studios | Released Year: 2009 | Platforms: Xbox Live
An incredible stellar design, addictive gameplay and storyline. Jason Flemming with his new girl friend Claire always get into problems since they explore some caverns, and a day comes when Claire goes missing and Jason sets his sail to follow her. Jason must rescue Claire without getting noticed by underground complex soldiers and high-end technology.
The game is represented in 2.5D format i.e the player can move only in 2 dimensions, however game world is usually represented in 3D. Shadow Complex is a finely-crafted game with cool maps, massive upgrades and addictive gameplay.
