Note that "best" doesn't mean "categorized by numerical score." By "best" we mean the games that we've personally sacrificed countless hours of sleep and numerous Saturday nights to, regardless of the scores some staffer or other might have assigned in their reviews. And in the case of certain franchises, we've picked the title that we believe to be the best in the series. Our Gamerscores are much larger thanks to these great games.
And for the sake of clarification, we've decided to exclude Xbox Live Arcade titles from the list. We recognize that many of you look at downloadable games as Xbox 360 titles just as much as any disc-based games, and we fought over this internally. But ultimately we decided to focus on great Xbox 360 games that you can pick up at the store, saving the DLC stuff for a possible future piece.
Without further ado, here are our picks for the Top 25 Xbox 360 Games of All Time (So Far)!
The Index
Sword fightin', car wreckin', alien killin', ball-kickin'... Day One's picks have a little of everything.
Fantasy lives, hardcore fisticuffs, faraway adventures and frenzied jamming are a few of the experiences offered by Day Two's picks.
Broken faces, endless exploration, terrifying darkness and unfinished fights are a few of the things you'll find in Day Three's games.
As we approach the top of our list we find games where you can leap skyscrapers, rock the mic, destroy the undead and drop really bad one-liners.
This is it! Read on to find out our top five games on the Xbox 360 so far!
