    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!

  • 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!)

    I can't really pick anymore, most of the "big" ones my younger brother buys for the playstation. These are all in my top games of all time however.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,812 ✭✭✭✭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: 6,451 ✭✭✭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 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: 11,504 ✭✭✭✭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.

    I do agree about Fallout. I can't get into it at all. I must try again soon...

    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
