    I thought there was a sticky for this but maybe I just dreamt it!

    Like to know what peoples top 10 games are for the 360, and games they just didn't like.

    My Top 10 are:

    1) Halo 3
    2) Street Fighter 4
    3) Call of Duty 4
    4) Pro Evolution Soccer 09
    5) Batman Arkham Asylum
    6) Grand Theft Auto IV
    7) Fight Night R3
    8) Bioshock
    9) Hitman Blood Money
    10) Call of Juarez Bound in Blood

    I've games sitting in my collection I havent played yet - Fallout 3, Dead Space and The Orange Box. And I've the next Pro Evo, Halo ODST and COD on the way - Not enough time!!

    I wasnt a fan of highly rated games such as GOW and edit Dead Rising. Far Cry 2 was an awful sequel

    1. FIFA 09
    2. Call of Duty 4
    3. UFC Undisputed
    4. Saints Row 2
    5. GTA IV
    6. Left 4 Dead
    7. DiRT
    8. Pro Evolution 2009
    9. Rockband
    10. Grid

    Surprisingly, I really loved Quantum of Solace (based on the fact I got it second hand only a couple of weeks after it was released for €17 - based on the COD4 engine). It should probably be on the list somewhere.

    No Halo 3 (although its great going through the campaign on with your mates), No Gears 1/2 (l like the single player, horde is pretty good, but something doesn't make me want to put it in the top 10).

    Really just came up with this off the top of my head... probably loads of my games I won't believe I didn't mention when I get home and look at my stack!

    thats all i can think of now they are in order


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Only one mention of Crackdown is scandalous.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭irishman123


    Interesting 2 people have already mentioned FNR3...(as opposed to FNR4).

    I traded my copy the other day...as I thought it was all flash and very arcadey gameplay compared to the more realistic FNR3.

    My Top 10 in no particular order:

    COD4
    Gears Of War 1
    Gears Of War 2
    Halo 3
    FIFA 09
    Tiger Woods 10
    Madden 10
    Forza 2
    Grid
    Burnout Paradise

    Games which didn't make this list which I still love:

    Burnout Revenge
    GTA IV
    Resident Evil 5
    Crackdown

    Games which bored me to tears and IMHO are highly over rated:

    Fallout 3 (Couldn't find the will to finish it! Watched the ending on youtube...and thanked the lord I didn't waste my energy!!!)
    Dead Space (Finished it and thought WTF!)
    Bioshock (Finished it and thought WTF!)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,890 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    didnt get Mass Effect to be honest.

    I picked up Mass Effect, Dead Rising and the likes for virtually nothing but just couldnt get into them. Currently playing Batman and Hitman at the mo. With the hope to playing Fallout 3 sometime soon!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,564 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    slip in Trials HD in there too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,906 ✭✭✭EGriff


    No mention of Oblivion? That would definitely be in my top 5.

    1: Arkham Asylum (I know it's only new but I can safely say I've never enjoyed a 360 game more and there's replayability there too)
    2: Left 4 Dead (The most fun multiplayer to be found)
    3: Gears Of War 2 (Nuff said)
    4: Fight Night Round 3 (Surprised me, I usually don't like sports games but this is just awesome!)
    5: Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway (Still to me the most realistic WW2 game ever made)
    6: The Force Unleashed (I'm a Star Wars fan, I do not need to further explain!)
    7: Bioshock (Great story, easy game to complete sure but cracking fun)
    8: R6 Vegas 2 (THE FPS, hands down)
    9: Dead Rising (Who cares that it gets boring, great concept wonderfully executed)
    10: The Orange Box (If Portal didn't show up the other games on the disc so much this would rank higher!)

    EDIT: I forgot Dead Space! But there's no room on the list! Arg! :D

    Halo 3, I just don't get it. Also games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 just aren't my cup of tea either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭djkeogh


    Here are my fav's since I got the box in alphabetical order

    Bioshock
    Batman Arkham Asylum
    COD4
    Crackdown
    Dead Rising
    Dead Space
    Fight Night Round 4
    GTA4
    Left 4 Dead
    Mirrors Edge

    Other games that came close but slipped are

    Fallout 3 (not finished yet and it got bumped for Batman).
    COD WAW good game but not better then whats there already.
    Orange Box. Portal sticks in my mind as the best from this package.
    Bionic Commando Rearmed
    Braid
    Rainbow 6 Vegas. Great tight game but the ending was brutal and unsatisfying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Mass Effect
    Batman Arkham Asylum
    Battlefield Bad Company
    GTA 4
    COD 4
    Dead Space
    Rainbow 6 Vegas
    Bomberman Live
    The Force Unleashed
    The Orange Box

    In no order. I will playing Batman for a long time.

    Honourable mention: Oblivion, played it on the PC, have it for the xbox too, but I can't find another 120+ hours to spend replaying it.

    Biggest Disappointment: Fallout 3, it was bland and boring, and the ending was terrible...No DLC for me thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    Agree about Fallout 3, not a patch on the original. I didn't like previews referring to it as "Oblivion with guns" but it really was. Great open world, but lame quests and poor RPG aspects.

    I forgot about Gears of War 2...that is definitely up there.

    Have to wait for my brother's birthday to roll around next week before I get a chance to play Batman, but the demo was enjoyable.

    1: Call of Duty 4 - Love it, i just love WaW that teeny little bit more
    2: Oblivion - I just sortov play Fallout a bit more
    3: Rock Band - Class game, but i think Guitar Hero has more of a challenge to it
    4: Madden NFL 10 - If it had something that really changed the gameplay on a huge scale, then i wud put it up there, still brilliant tho
    5: Fight Night R4 - I adore this game but...lol okay ive over 60 games here come on


    2 Games i dont think deserve the spot just yet


    1: Battlefield: Bad Company - I like it but I just don't play it as much as I used to anymore, other games overtook lol
    2: FUEL - Currently not playin alot of Racing games as much anymore, if i was, that wud be there, its some huge brilliant game

    1 Game that wont be goin anywhere

    Gears of War 2 - I just can't get into that game whatsoever, It feels to slow to play. Plus Gears 1 is already up there, and that rules

    EDIT: Forgot about L4D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,478 ✭✭✭Bubs101


    1. Fallout 3 Ever since I started having enough money to buy games once I finish my old ones (AKA, not being under 18) I rarely replay them but this was the exception. Must have done it 3 times over before picking up something else. Nothing bored me in this game and went after everything

    2Call of Duty 4 Before I got Xbox Live I thought this was a top 10 game based on single player alone but the online is up there with Swat 4 and Perfect Dark as my favourite multiplayer FPS out there. Flawless.

    3Fifa 09So realistic yet so much fun to play with a great online interface. I was a die hard pro evo fan before I got this, now I could never imagine going back. It's the black woman of football games

    4BioshockOne of the best atmospheres I've encountered in a game with an absolutley phenomenal twist in the middle of the story
    would you kindly
    and you could shoot bees from your hands. What more could you want

    5Gears of WarAlthough I have no real interest in playing it now and had no interest in the sequel this was great for it's time. The absolute ****. Fun weapons and a great co-op campaign but the slow slow slow walking has killed it for me now

    6Shadow Complexvery very simple, very replayable with some genuinely tough fighting bits and head scratching how the **** do I get that moments, my first take on the Metroidvania games was great. Storyline was duff but I doubt I'll ever tire of running up to dudes and pressing B

    7Mass EffectThe best story on the 360 with the interactivity that I like so much and decent combat mechanics was destroyed by that stupid tank car malarky

    8UFC UndisputedA great attempt to bring such a complex sport into one game but the fighting was nearly flawless. Sure the career sucked and there were online niggles but as a long time fan arguably the most satisying moment I've ever had on the xbox was getting knocked down online, getting pounced, waiting for the stamina to go and winning with a triangle choke. Also educated the casual fans to the ground game better than Rogan ever could

    9Earth Defense Force 2017Every level was in essence the same, the graphics were crap and the voice acting was so so bad but the game bottled the essence of fun and there is no way to play this without enjoying it

    10Saints Row 2 i know it's a cliche but while GTA was boring Saints Row 2 was fun. Simple as that. While GTA's standout moments are undoubtably better (like the bank mission) as a whole Saints Row wipes the floor with it

    I like that system, it makes online a bit more interesting and goal orientated.

    I see a lot of Batmans in people's lists, is it really that good? I played the demo and found it a bit boring, what's with the endless conveniently placed gargoyles? Is there even such a thing as an indoor gargoyle? That game just annoyed me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,110 ✭✭✭Sarn


    I only own about 10 games :(

    The problem is I've played Oblivion, The Orange Box, Fallout 3, L4D, Bioshock and COD4 on the PC so that only leaves:

    Mass Effect
    Crackdown
    GTA IV
    Halo 3
    GOW
    Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2

    (Must see about picking up some of the highly rated games)

    Do people actually think Crackdown was good?

    I thought it was good but using the standard Xbox controller with it was horrible. The D-Pad is awful for doing the moves leaving you having to use the analogue stick or investing in a decent fighter pad.

    Overall I stopped playing the game because I couldn't compete with the people online who have invested in proper joysticks/pads so I ended up hating it.
