Microsoft has been known to try and stay a bit above, and ahead of the market when it comes to your gaming needs. The XBOX 360 has some of the most innovative and advanced games on the market today. However, finding one that fits your needs in gaming can be tricky. The reason that it is hard is because of the amount of games that pour in to retail stores weekly. New games can be somewhat expensive, most costing upwards of $60, so some of the titles listed here will give a good idea of the variety, and best for your money games out there.
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.
Role-Playing games have been in high demand on the Xbox 360 ever since Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion came out. If you liked Oblivion, then you will surely like Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is an engrossing action role-playing game with a great story line, and a post World War II setting. This game comes with eccentric open-ended game play and unbelievable graphics, and is setting the pace moving forward in the Role-playing game industry.
There are not a whole lot of games that keep you on the edge of your seat anymore with the “Scary” title. Dead Space was listed last year as the “World’s Scariest Game”. It’s a very dark and thrilling game that is a third-person shooter, leaving no room to be bored.
There are also third-person shooters that are not as scary, but just as good with Gears of War 2 being one of the best. Not only is the single player experience good, but the multiplayer feature allows you to play with 9 others. Gears of War 2 also won a few awards as well making this a must-have in your game collection.
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.
Choosing a title can be hard if you really are unaware of what to look for in a game. Make sure that you do some extensive research on the gaming titles out there to see which ones fit you so that you get the most for your money.
